Steve: I Really Like Your Underwear. Tony: Yeah, I Can Feel Just How Much, Old Man. Glad You Approve.

Steve: I really like your underwear. 
Tony: Yeah, I can feel just how much, old man. Glad you approve. You know, it would look much bet—mhmm… Happy 100th birthday, Steve!

Here’s the actual watercolor piece!

Angsty Wednesday

anything by laireshi

“Just trust me,” Tony said, the mechanical voice of Iron Man making it seem emotionless.

“Trust is not something you would know about, Stark,” Steve said, and walked away.

And then it all went to hell.

(Comment: You can take the title quite literally. Not every piece is angst but I do recommend everything by @laireshi. Also, this is the very first fanfiction I’ve read by them. And down the rabbit hole I went. I used to be an unsuspecting MCU stony fan and then this. I regret nothing.)

Secrets and Surprises by laireshi

Tony’s preparing for his and Steve’s anniversary. The only issue? Steve realises that Tony’s hiding something and, given their history, suspects it’s something sinister.

first and last and always by laireshi

It's not like waking up from the ice. Steve has seen how this year came to be, has seen every day of the few decades that passed.

None of them seemed real, because it was wrong, so wrong.

(”There are more spoilery warnings at the end.”)

All That You Love, All That You Hate by laireshi

Director Stark is happily married to Steve Rogers. They have no secrets from each other, and quite a lot from the world—mainly that Steve Rogers is really The Captain, an infamous villain.

Unfortunately, the truly important secrets rarely stay hidden, and when Steve’s identity gets revealed, Tony will do anything to keep them both safe.

He’s a hero, but it might mean crossing a line that a villain would never even approach.

as long as we remember by laireshi

“Good morning,” Tony said, his voice very steady. The way he would greet a stranger.

They weren’t strangers.

Or: the incursions are solved, but nothing is quite right.

Lost Chances by laireshi  (TW: “Hydra Steve Rogers […], Suicidal Thoughts […], Rape Aftermath”)

“Did I hurt you?” Steve asks.

“No,” Tony says.

But Steve already knows what Tony lying to his face looks like.

Unmade by laireshi (TW: “Suicidal Thoughts […], Hydra Steve Rogers […], Implied/Referenced Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism”)

“He looked exactly like you,” Tony hears himself say. “I knew it wasn’t you, but he looked like you, so I believed he wouldn’t hurt me.”

Why is he telling Steve that?

“He told me you loved me,” Tony continues. Maybe he just wants it all to hurt. Maybe if it hurts enough, it’ll finally end once and for all.

Changes on our hands and on our faces by laireshi 

In the wake of the incursions, Steve and Tony face the end of the world together. They wake up separate, each of them faced with a version of the other they haven’t met before.

It might be a recipe for disaster, or it might just help them solve their issues.

(”There are warnings at the end.”)

To The End Of Love by laireshi 

Steve’s been married to Tony for years when the Stamford disaster happens and the Superhero Registration Act tears the superhero community apart. When Tony disagrees with Steve, Steve still expects Iron Man to follow him: he’s his best friend, for one, and he’s chosen to keep his identity a secret from everyone. But Iron Man also fights against him.

And then Steve smashes his faceplate open.

Stay With Me by laireshi 

He didn’t expect to hear a loud shot, and he didn’t expect to feel Tony’s warm blood mix with rain on his hands.

Heart With No Companion by laireshi  (TW: “Hydra Steve Rogers, Implied/Referenced Rape/Non-con”)

Hydra Cap captures MCU Tony and thinks it’s a great idea to charm him into waking 616 Tony from his coma.

Conditional loop by laireshi

There are some sacrifices Steve isn’t willing to make, but with the Time Gem, he doesn’t have to.

(”There are some very spoilery for the fic warnings at the end.)

for none of them would save him by laireshi 

“I’m dead, in your timeline,” Tony said, not a question.

Steve shrugged, quiet and broken. “Everyone is.”

(“There are warnings at the end.”)

Security Measures by laireshi (TW: “Hydra Steve Rogers”)

Tony always trusted Steve with his override codes. This once, he shouldn’t have.

Amor Fati by citsiurtlanu

Tony Stark has always known what the words on his wrist are supposed to lead to. What he’s never known is who the words are for. 616 soulmate AU.

Enemy At The Gates by AvocadoLove

By the time Captain America was found and defrosted, the Chitauri had wiped out the entire state of New York, and Iron Man was the world’s most wanted villain.

Babyfic! When Tony unexpectedly becomes a parent, his world view drastically changes. And changes. Then it changes again. And then again.

Be No Stranger (All Your Saints and Soldiers Remix) by jibrailis

That's the twenty-first century love song, baby. Glitz and glamour and every one of us is a liar.

Please pardon the late reply. I've only just now found the time to answer and I still haven't figured out how to use tumblr and what the appropriate etiquette is in terms of reblogging/answering/tagging etc. Send help, please.

You know? You make it really hard not to heap praises on you. Stop it. (Please never ever stop.) Writing consistently a m a z i n g content and finished pieces is just incredible! You're every readers' ultimate dream/writer. (Not saying everyone else is bad, it's simply rare to see this kind of high-quality and dedicated writing.) Don't get me started on your way with words. I have so many highlighted parts, notes and bookmarks on my Kindle Paperwhite... I don't even have words.

I will, I will! It may take a while to finish though. (*whispers* But it's dark, twisted, explicit and not very nice? I'd definitely have to create an NSFW account first. Which I was planning on anyway. However, I do have a fluffy and sensual WIP.)

Canon is sometimes so intense and full of tragedies? It totally surprised me going into the comics? It's fantastic! Treasure trove of deep affection, deeper betrayals and generally so much more depth.

@laireshi reblogged this from skyeedom and added:

Oh my god, okay, I saw your post when I woke up, but I literally couldn’t reply until now because I was just so overcome…

Aww, thank YOU for your hard work and for sharing. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Like, seriously. You have no idea how much you’ve enriched my life! And I haven’t even finished yet. Is it weird to hope that I never will? Because that will be the longest and most awful book hangover ever.

I’m staring with heart eyes right back at you. So glad you like it. It is basically inspired by you and dedicated to you. So, success!

I have fanart of your work and a written post dedicated to you in progress. For a while now. And then 616 day came and I just had to let a bit of my enthusiasm and love for you and your stories out. So, I actually kept myself short. Really.

Btw, I love all your otp tags??!!!! Stumbling upon some of the quotes in the comics was so wonderful, enlightening and OMG, THIS IS IT. THIS IS PERFECT. It is more than fitting and it immediately sets the mood. And wow, I love it!
