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.

Buy You A Mockingbird by jadedoll
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.
Fluffy Thursday
with you by laireshi
Sometimes Steve gets overwhelmed by how much he loves Tony.
The T-Shirt Means I Love You by laireshi
"You’re wearing my clothes.”
Steve wants to take the words back as soon as he said them, because obviously Tony isn’t wearing his clothes, Tony’s not wearing any clothes, Tony’s an artificial intelligence, but Steve wishes Tony were corporeal and wearing his clothes, preferably in his bed.
Cold Making Warmth by sheafrotherdon
Steve settles upon the few things he knows for sure: that the days are short, and it's cold, and he doesn't mind looking dumb for making the effort. So screw the protocol, whether it exists or not – he's giving gifts.
Have and Have Nots by kehinki
Apparently, Tony finds his lack of holiday cheer damn near offensive.
Get Some Now by Sineala
Avengers Mansion has a mysterious feline infestation. Meanwhile, Steve just can't figure out how to ask Tony out on a date. And the thirteen teleporting cats sure aren't helping matters any.
America's Golden -Boy- Retriever by Amuly
The Avengers wake up one morning to find they all have ears and tails. Some of the animals that are a part of them are obvious, but some of them are more... odd. Much to Tony's infinite amusement, of course. cap_ironman Christmas exchange fic.
The More Things Change by cookinguptales
Steve's not entirely sure how seduction works nowadays, but he's learned from the best.
Apple Bottom Jeans (And Other Love Songs) by gyzym
Or, how Steve Rogers--kind of--learns to dance.
Re(a)d All Over by brandnewfashion, MusicalLuna
Contrary to popular belief, Tony Stark can blush.
It just takes Steve getting drunk on some magical Asgardian mead for it to finally happen.
Indecent Proposal by gyzym, Siria
On the plus side, marriage is bound to be easier than proposing.
Standard Operating Procedures For One Anthony Edward Stark, Subsection: Accommodations & Voluntary Residence 2-B by RurouniHime
Tony, no.
Five Times Steve Fell in the Water by RurouniHime
Steve is awfully clumsy.
CapWatch.com by lupinus
The one where the Internet is stalking Steve’s day to day life, but that might be okay, because it just keeps bringing him closer to Tony. Or, in which Clint Barton uses the Internet to mock Steve.
Sixteen Dongs by uraneia
Tony begins to suspect Steve's autocorrect is trying to tell him something.
What does it say about Steve that he wants to talk to Tony about Clint’s penis?
... And a Mixed Tape by lupinus
The story of how auto correct brings Steve and Tony together.
Or Sixteen Dongs told from Steve's point of view.
That Has Such People In It by lupinus
Tony pines like a genius, and Steve is too busy being baffled by modern times to notice.
hooked on you by theappleppielifestyle
"I’m sorry," Steve says miserably, but Tony holds up a hand.
"Whoa, hey, no, not your fault, kid. Um." Tony drops the hand, because Steve had started looking at his wrist, the mapwork of veins. "So what, it’s like, you open your eyes first thing after getting vamped and, boom, Imprint?"
"What?" Steve frowns again. "Tony, no. I’m not a baby duck."
All Roads Lead To by theappleppielifestyle
After Obadiah's betrayal, Tony hides in the depths of the Midwest to become a mechanic.
The Avengers come into his life anyway.
Not just a river in Egypt (Tony is most certainly not in denial) by theoddoodisnude
"You are most definitely not in love with me, Cap, what you are experiencing is called cabin pressure," Tony explains, because he has a rational train of thought and he's met enough shrinks to have figured out their tactics by now. "And possibly, you know, sexual frustration, because it doesn't matter at all that you're, like, America's national icon, Fury still won't let you out. I know that, I see that, I acknowledge your pain, I feel with you, Cap, believe me, I do. And I get it, because I am a very good-looking fellow and we spend a lot of time together, stuck in this tower, and it's easy to--"
"I am," Steve cuts off, equal parts amused and frustrated and concerned. "In love. With you. Tony, I'm in love with you."
At The Join by entanglednow
Tony's gone down on one knee, fussing with one of the heavy-duty boots, and Steve's going to say something. But there are already knuckles smacking the side of his leg, and he's lifting it without thinking.
Stray Minutes by entanglednow
"Hey, you skipping out on my party?"
the best thing (is that it’s happening to you and me) by shieldmaidenofrohan
Or, five times the team saw Steve Rogers and Tony Stark in love.
Fix-It Friday
side by side by laireshi
When Tony learns of the incursions, he knows one thing. If there is any chance of stopping them, he has to work with Steve. Luckily, Steve agrees.
(Comment: This is per-fec-tion. Perfect balance between angst and beautiful, heartbreaking, sweet moments between these two halves of a whole.
Tony in a nutshell: "Steve hating him was better than Steve dead." (How sad and tragic is this quote?!)
The length he's willing to go, to suffer through for the sake of keeping Steve alive is something that defines (laireshi's) Tony. (You make him suffer so beautifully, @laireshi.) He'd destroy planets, hate himself for it and somehow live with Steve hating him just so his "better half" survives. Anything but Steve dying. He can't take that. Not again. He'll sacrifice himself gladly without a second thought. ^Just rambling about laireshi's Tony in general. Not specifically this story, since this is a fix-it. This fic was very soothing to my wounded soul, after reading the comics. I needed that so much. Thank you!)
Engineering Miracles by laireshi
The Infinity Gems reappearing is really the sort of thing a Sorcerer Supreme should investigate, and if it involves crossing universes, so much the better. Maybe Tony will finally find an alternate self who hasn't made a complete ruin of his life. And then Sorcerer Supreme Tony Stark finds himself on Earth-616.
(Comment: I love this one so much. @ purely MCU fans: It is Stevetony but there's also Sorcerer Supreme Tony Stark/Victor von Doom. Just give it a try if you're curious or read "Invincible Iron Man" by Bendis first/afterwards. (For the art, for Tony and Tony being low-key obsessed with Victor "suddenly [being] very handsome"?!)
Emergency Protocol by laireshi
Falling in love with Tony Stark has always been easy. That he's an artificial intelligence now changes nothing. Luckily, Tony will always catch him.
Transmission by laireshi
The incursions are stopped. Steve hopes for things to go back to normal. Instead, he finds himself stranded in an alternate universe with Tony. Getting home won't be easy. There are too many things they haven't told each other, too many arguments they've never solved. Now, with just each other for company, they might have to face them all—especially as they seem to be telepathically bonded, and can't keep anything unsaid anymore.
Make it right by laireshi
It was just a dream, Tony thinks, and ignores the gut feeling telling him otherwise. He really must have fallen asleep, and it was all just a dream, he didn't betray Steve like that …
On Due Reflection by captainshellhead, vibraniumstark
Fed up with secrets, with the Illuminati between them, Steve and Tony aren't on the best of terms. A chance encounter with an alternate reality's versions of themselves sets things back on the right path.
Wake Up (Can't Live Without You Remix) by laireshi (TW: “Hydra Steve Rogers” - but it’s a fix-it!)
Tony smiles weakly and says, “This is not a dream.”
