TITLE: Freeway

AUTHOR:

RATING: Explicit

WARNINGS: infidelity, depression, dislikeable main characters

SUMMARY: In which Steve is trying to find a place for himself in the twenty-first century, Tony is appallingly unfaithful to Pepper, and Loki returns to earth, joins the Avengers, and does not quite seek redemption or absolution. Contains sex, angst, and mutant civil rights; doing the wrong things for the right reasons; and the right things for the wrong reasons.
NOTES: This is the complete rewrite of my previous story, Patiently. It is the third in a three-part series. They can all be found on Ao3, as I will no longer be updating my livejournal. For those of you interested in my non-fandom works, I'm currently co-writing and illustrating a webcomic called Behind the Throne; it updates Sundays.

For those of you who have been following (I know I have not updated for over a year, so likely there are precious few of you), here is the final chapter on Ao3:

Freeway, Epilogue.

Here are the other parts in the story, and Freeway from the beginning:

I. Room by Room
II. On my Deathbed (I will Pray)
III. Freeway

Title: Freeway, Chapter Seven
Rating: This chapter is PG-13.
Summary: Tony's room goes dim as a cloud passes over the sun, casting the city outside in shadow. In the sudden gloom, Pepper's shoulders cut severe lines all the way down to the slim knots of her hands. The treasure's melted away: she doesn't glitter at all. There's nothing left but the brittle crystals of her eyes, shining in the semi-darkness like broken bottles. The really shitty breakup chapter.
Warnings: Infidelity. Gore. Tony being incredibly horrible and selfish.
Notes: This is part three, chapter seven of the Stone series. 3bird is my amazing beta, as always.
Previous Parts/Chapters in this series

( "Hi, Tony," Pepper says stiffly. )

Title: Freeway, Chapter Six
Rating: NC-17 for sexytimes.
Summary: "I want this," Tony whispers to his jaw. "I want you. I want to do this right." When he swallows, Steve can feel it against his throat. "I'm sorry," he says again.
Warnings: Infidelity. Graphic sex. Really old movies.
Notes: This took a million years to finish, sorry. Hopefully I'll have chapter seven out sooner. 3bird is my amazing beta, as always.
Previous Parts/Chapters

( "The audible click as Tony turns the lock makes Steve's heart rate pick up, makes heat pool low in his belly. Now they're two people standing apart in a dim bedroom: now Tony's covering the distance between them on bare feet." )

Title: Freeway, Chapter Five
Rating: R for gore. Um, there's some penis-to-mouth contact, but it isn't... sexual...? So maybe NC-17, but there isn't actually sex happening in this chapter. Not where anyone can see, anyway.
Summary: While he's never believed you walk around with half a heart 'til you meet someone who fits, he's prepared to accept that maybe they do things different on other planets. That's what watching them feels like, to him: changing your mind.
Warnings: Gore. Poor life decisions.
Notes: This chapter gave me fits, but miraculously (and mostly due to my perfect-human-of-a-beta, 3bird) stuff got sorted out. Plot is mostly in line. Sex forthcoming in chapter six, but have some plot and feels for now.
Previous Parts/Chapters

( "Central Park's a damn war zone. Steve's seen enough to know." )

I Illustrated one of my fics a while ago, and the more I looked at it, the more I disliked it. So here is a new one :)

Image is SFW, but fic is not :3

( Cut for size! )

et2brute.livejournal.com

EDIT: The following designs are available on shirts here. Let me know if you want a custom design or any of these tweaked (smaller, moved around, etc) and I can add however many versions :)

...So, aside from all the other things I should be doing, I made a pretty neat (in my humble opinion <3) Superhusbands logo. It's the usual splice between shield/arc reactor, but. I used vectors? It's shiny? Anyway, it prints super nice. So I put up a Cafepress shop totally dedicated to shipping them. So if you want some Superhusbands swag, it is available. I will do more things later, but for now it's just the... uh... ShieldReactor. Ahem. EDIT: Apparently it's okay for people to use the shield and the reactor, but not together. I emailed customer service about it, but - for now, it's not available. Sigh. The shield doesn't have the start on it, but it's pretty obviously Captain America in my opinion. The arc reactor is blatant, though. I thought this would be okay. I'll let you know if the situation changes, sorry. EDIT: Thanks for the wonderful comments, guys! I'm using Zazzle now - hopefully that will work out better. :) Shop is here, stuff might not show up for a few hours but direct links can be found to the t-shirt and necklace v2. Will post more options tomorrow. Am taking requests for what products to make this available on :) For your viewing pleasure, both versions of the shield reactor: Sorry, guys. I'll try to figure something else out. ( cut for space. ) If this is totally the wrong place for this, I apologize and feel free to remove it!

Title: Freeway, Chapter Four

Rating: nc-17! pr0n!
Warnings: graphic sex, infidelity, bad feels
Summary: In which Steve is trying to find a place for himself in the twenty-first century, Tony is appallingly unfaithful to Pepper, and Loki returns to earth, joins the Avengers, and does not quite seek redemption or absolution.

( Steve loses time. It's happened before. He's got Tony on his belly, a pillow shoved under his hips. The arc reactor sealed against the sheets, drawing the darkness close and soft around them. )

Steve/Tony, no warnings, PG. (The fic is NC17, though)

So obvsly I'm better at writing than doing art, but for those who are interested, here is an illustration for Room by Room.
Also on DA.

Worksafe, but cut for size.

( YOU HAVE BEAUTIFUL EYES, STEVE ROGERS. )

Author: et2brute
Title: Freeway, Chapter Three
Universe: MCU
Characters: Primarily Steve/Tony, previous & concurrent Pepper/Tony, ambiguous Clint/Natasha, eventual Thor/Loki, hints of Charles/Erik (X-Men: First Class)
Words: 9200 for this chapter
Rating: R for this chapter, NC-17 for the series.
Summary: In which Steve is trying to find a place for himself in the twenty-first century, Tony is appallingly unfaithful to Pepper, and Loki returns to earth, joins the Avengers, and does not quite seek redemption or absolution. Sex, angst, and mutant civil rights, and doing the wrong things for the right reasons (and the right things for the wrong reasons). Part III in the Stone series.
Warnings: Infidelity, badfeels, guilt, graphic sex, self-loathing. Oh, and some depression, but it's not central. It just sucks.

There's a beat of silence. Then Tony asks, "Are you busy later?"

It's Tuesday. Steve's schedule is devastatingly free. "Why?"

"Have dinner with me," Tony says. "I'll pick you up. Seven?"

"Tony—"

"To compare notes," Tony says.

"Fine." Brief trickles of sweat shiver down Steve's spine, collect in the creases of his chest and belly, under his arms. He thinks about cool water on his face and back. He closes his eyes and sees blue.

"Dress sharp," Tony orders, and hangs up.

Title: Freeway (formerly Patiently) - Ao3

Author: et2brute
Beta: 3bird, who is perfect and marvelous in every way.
Rating: nc-17
Universe: Movieverse
Pairing: Steve/Tony
Characters: Avengers ensemble
Word Count: about 7.5k this chapter.
Warnings: Infidelity, depression, graphic depictions of sex and, later, gore/violence.
Summary: In which Steve is trying to find a place for himself in the twenty-first century, Tony is appallingly unfaithful to Pepper, and Loki returns to earth, joins the Avengers, and does not quite seek redemption or absolution. Part three of the Stone series.
Notes: I had some weird feels with this chapter, but overall I'm satisfied. If you enjoy Clint and baby goats, you'll... find those within?

( It's not 'til he feels his nails digging into his palms that Steve realizes he's clenching his fists. "Get outta here, Tony," he bites out. He's done with this shit. )

Title: Freeway (formerly Patiently) - Ao3
Beta: 3bird, who is perfect and marvelous in every way.
Word Count: about 8.3k this chapter.
Summary: In which Steve is trying to find a place for himself in the twenty-first century, Tony is appallingly unfaithful to Pepper, and Loki returns to earth, joins the Avengers, and does not quite seek redemption or absolution. Part three of the Stone series.
Notes: Okay, finally starting to rewrite Patiently. Here is chapter one! Please enjoy!

( If he'd known about Pepper, that night with Stark never would've happened. He's got more self-respect than that. He doesn't like hurting people. If he doesn't believe these two things about himself, he's lost. )

Title: Room by Room | Ao3
Author:

et2brute
Pairing(s): Stony, epic failure Pepperony
Rating: nc17 pr0ns
Warnings: infidelity
Summary: In which Steve is trying to find a place for himself in the twenty-first century and Tony is appallingly unfaithful to Pepper.
Notes: This has been heavily revised; it's roughly quadrupled in size, with over 9000 feels and some steamy sex. Still working on revising the rest of the series DX

Room by Room [ 1 | 2 | 3 ]

Thanks for bearing with me, guys!

Title: Patiently
Rating: eventual NC-17
Notes: so this is actually a companion story to two other ones I've written; it's just kind of morphed into a chaptered thing with, you know, plot and stuff.
Summary: Steve, on a very personal level, is suffering from a very literal disconnect from everything he has known and everyone he has loved. Right now, he's just trying to figure out where he fits in Tony's life when Tony has so many other people around him.

( Tony'd said it before: Steve isn't special on his own. He isn't. He was made. )

Everything else in the Stone series, for your convenience

Stone - Ao3
A collection of stories loosely settled around Loki joining the Avengers and redeeming himself. Can mostly be read as standalones, but they belong to the same universe. Listed in chronological order.

Room by Room
On my deathbed (I will pray)
Patiently [ 1 | 2 | 3 | ? ]

et2brute.livejournal.com

Universe: 2012 Avengers movie
Rating: pg13 feels
Warnings: Christian Guilt (not enough), blatant ignorance of Marvel!verse outside of the recent films, not an ounce of shameless pr0n.
Beta: Vacancy! Inquire within <3

Room by Room - Ao3
A little bitty Steve/Tony fic. Not really everything I want to cover (I need to see the movie a few more times) but a bit of a start. Implied Thor/Loki, some Natasha/Clint if you squint. (Oh god, I am so, so sorry that rhymed. Ugh.) Links to LJ & Ao3

Also, hello, I am et2brute, nice to meet you <3
