Steve Rogers is a struggling artist in a world where unemployment rates are sky-high. Zombies are the number one source of blue-collar labor, meaning the baby boomers won't give up their day jobs even after they've died. Steve takes a job as a night guard at Stark Solutions as a way to get by. There, he meets an enigmatic and handsome lab rat named Tony, who works just about as odd hours as Steve. Only not everything is as it seems. There is a mystery surrounding Tony, surrounding Stark Solutions as a whole, and Steve is just unfortunate enough to get tangled up in it.

Steve decides it's time to stock his shower up with some of Tony's bathing supplies. Even if one of those supplies is a strange, scratchy rock.

Tony's had a suspicion for a long time. But he doesn't have any evidence, any real evidence. At least, not nothing that's not no evidence at all.

This mystery's going to do his head in.

Based in Marvel's 1872 Western Universe, where Tony is a blacksmith and Steve is the town Sheriff. Blacksmith Tony hears Sheriff Steve's birth date is coming up, and decides to give him the present he deserves.

Auntie Peggy has been telling Tony stories about Captain America his whole life. Only problem is, the real thing just about measures up to the stories. Which means, of course, that Aunt Peg has to go to work, because an Aunt's work is never done.

Steve and Tony go on a double-date with Carol and Wanda to Central Park one snowy day. Tony doesn't do so well with the cold--it doesn't help that his boyfriend melts snow around him like the damned Human Torch.

Mr. Stark is an extravagant gift-giver: he has the money for it, after all. As Iron Man, Tony has the opportunity to gift Steve even more presents that, while less expensive, are more heartfelt. Having a secret identity means Tony gets to have his cake and eat it too when it comes to showering Steve with presents.

Until Steve starts developing feelings for his armored companion, and all the benefits of living a double life are turned on their head for Tony Stark.

An alternate ending for the episode "Emperor Stark": What if Tony hadn't been able to shirk Purple Man's control long enough to take him out with Steve? Purple Man has a few choice commands for Tony while he's under his control. Specifically, to rape Steve Rogers.
