While everyone is filling out their sign-up forms for the gift exchange (sign-ups are open through August 8, 11:59 PM ET!), we wanted to take a moment to highlight the works that have come in over the past month or so for our prompt fest, which is running simultaneously and is perfect for people who want a no-commitment event. We've had a handful of fantastic works so far, and we're eager to see what the next months will bring!

In addition to works for the gift exchange and prompt fest, we're also sharing any new Steve/Tony CA:CW-related works through October 23, as long as they follow our general event guidelines. We welcome all fanworks, such as but not limited to art, fanmixes, fanvids, fics and other creative writing such as poems, graphics/edits, gifsets, manips, meta, mood boards, podfics, music, rec lists, web weaving, and crafts.

If you have a Steve/Tony CA:CW work to share, do any of the following and we'll share it on our platforms and include it in our round-ups:

AO3 - submit it to the "Steve/Tony CA:CW 10th anniversary event" AO3 collection (for the gift exchange and prompt fest, select the corresponding subcollection instead)

Tumblr and Bluesky - @stevetonycacwfest or tag #stevetonycacwfest

Twitter - @stevetonycacw or tag #stevetonycacwfest

Anywhere else - contact us

Now without further ado, here are our first fanworks for the Steve/Tony CA:CW tenth anniversary event. Enjoy!

❤️‍🩹 "a hundred miles" - @xwinterdreamsx

A series of exchanges via flip phone.

❤️‍🩹 Comic of Steve and Tony confessing their love to each other in Siberia - @californiatowhee

cacw x fleabag for @stevetonycacwfest and round 15 of @lightsonparkave <3

❤️‍🩹 "I Carry It With Me" - @24hourmess

When Steve almost loses the ring during his exile, he decides it's time for him to try reaching out to Tony again. He can't keep living like this without trying to talk things out one more time.

❤️‍🩹 "I Wish You Would" - @sleeplessmidnight26

Steve has an accident during one of his Nomad missions just a couple of months after sending the letter and burner phone. He has amnesia - docs not sure how long it will last. Tony is still so very angry but knows it is better he takes Steve in than if Ross gets to him first.

❤️‍🩹 "in dreams, i meet you in warm conversation" - @earth-3490s

The entity takes the form of the person the victim desires most. Tony can almost see the words in his mind's eye, carefully written in Maria Hill's loopy, delicate handwriting from the packet on his desk. His heart sinks into his stomach. "Are you okay, Tony?" Pepper asks, her hand soft on the small of his back. No, he's not. Because Steve fucking Rogers is standing right there, just across the ornate ballroom. Steve, whom he saw on a live feed five hours ago, breaking into a HYDRA cell halfway across the world.

❤️‍🩹 "Precision-Strike Heartbreak" - @nostalgicatsea

There is ONE WEEK LEFT to RSVP (sign up) for the Steve/Tony CA:CW mini gift exchange!

Sign-ups are open until August 8, 11:59 PM EDT (what time is that for me?). Join us by filling out THIS FORM!

First time hearing about the mini gift exchange? This event is part of our 10-year anniversary celebration of CA:CW aka Steve and Tony’s “divorcing even though we aren’t even together” breakup and is centered around Steve and Tony’s relationship during and after CA:CW.

Everyone who joins will be matched by shared interests with another participant for whom they'll secretly create a Steve/Tony fanwork and will receive a gift from another participant in return.

For this event, we accept fics, poems, art, videos, music, gifsets, podfics, graphics/edits/manips, fanmixes, mood boards, and multimedia works, and we welcome everything from the 100% sugary sweet to the 100% bitterly dark. The minimum work requirements are very low so it's easy to participate (but if you really don't think you can join, consider our no-commitment prompt fest instead).

You can see the event schedule and rules/guidelines in our announcement post. If you have any further questions, check out our FAQ or contact us.

The second part of our 10-year Steve/Tony CA:CW celebrations is our mini gift exchange! Just like Steve gifted Tony a letter and flip phone and Tony tried to gift Steve FDR's fountain pens in CA:CW, we'll be giving one another presents as well, though hopefully ones that are less heart-shattering—unless you ask for your heart to be broken, of course.

Everyone who joins will be matched with another participant, for whom they'll secretly create a Steve/Tony fanwork. At the end of the event, the gifts will be posted anonymously, and after all the gifts have been posted, creators will be revealed!

Ready to join the fun? Fill out our sign-up form here!

Mood board: three images + 200 words (the text doesn’t have to be a fic; it can be a description, lyrics, quote, etc.)

These are just the minimum work requirements. You’re always welcome to create more, whether it’s a bigger work or multiple works.

General rules & guidelines

You must be over the age of 18.

You must have an AO3 account. If you don’t have one, request one here or contact us.

Only one sign-up per person/team is allowed. If you sign up as a team (i.e., collaborate with someone to co-create a work), you can’t sign up separately as a solo creator as well.

Using multiple accounts to sign up for the gift exchange more than once or to leave comments/kudos on works to hide your identity during exchange reveals is not allowed.

There is NO limit to how many works you can create or how many prompts you can request or fulfill.

Making multiple works for a single prompt or combining multiple prompts for a single work is okay.

Works must be new works made for the event.

No gen AI/LLM (e.g., ChatGPT) use is allowed.

Keep your prompts, gift recipients, and gifts a secret until after reveals happen. See more info in the “anonymity and reveals” section of our gift exchange guidelines.

Creators will do their best to create a work for your prompt(s) and must respect your DNWs, but they’ll bring their own viewpoints and sensibilities. While we’ll do our best to match people, you should not expect to be matched to specific creators or have your prompt fulfilled exactly the way you imagined it.

Everyone has different viewpoints on CA:CW, but we're all fellow fans at the end of the day. Please be kind to other participants as we want this to be a fun event for everyone! ❤️

Content rules

You must fulfill at least one of your giftee’s prompts. Alternatively, you can create a gift based on just your giftee’s likes and tags, but we strongly encourage you to work with their prompts.

Do not include any of your giftee’s listed “do not want"s (DNWs) in your work.

All prompts/works must focus on Steve and Tony's relationship, whether it's platonic (pre-slash or gen/not shippy at all), romantic, or sexual. You can indicate your likes/DNWs on the sign-up form.

All relationship permutations—gen, pre-slash, unrequited or requited love, mutual or one-sided pining, established relationship, get together/get back together, breakups, etc.—are allowed. You can indicate your likes/DNWs on your sign-up form.

We welcome everything from the 100% sugary sweet to the 100% bitterly dark. All kinds of endings—unhappy, ambiguous/open, bittersweet, hopeful, or happy—are welcome. You can indicate your likes/DNWs on your sign-up form.

Darkness and angst all the way through "dead dove: do not eat" and works looking at the events of CA:CW critically are welcome, but character bashing is not allowed.

You're allowed to request other romantic/sexual relationships featuring Steve and/or Tony (including poly). These are okay ONLY IF the primary focus of the prompt/work is on Steve and Tony AND the work concludes in one of the following ways (you can indicate what you prefer in your request or leave this up to your gifter): - Steve/Tony end up together (no poly) - Steve and Tony are single at the end - Steve and/or Tony is in a relationship with someone else at the end, BUT it's made obvious that the relationship is unhappy or doomed because of Steve's feelings for Tony/Tony's feelings for Steve

You cannot create a work that includes Steve and/or Tony in a relationship with another character unless the giftee explicitly said they’re okay with it, however. If the giftee gave the green light, remember your work still needs to follow the guidelines above. This also applies to works with POVs of other characters.

Prompts/works must either be set in CA:CW or heavily based on CA:CW if the prompt/work is canon-divergent, post-CA:CW, crossover, or fusion.

Interested but don't know if you can commit to participating in the gift exchange?

There are two ways you can still get involved in our CA:CW anniversary event. The first is joining our no-commitment event, the prompt fest. There is NO minimum requirement, all ratings are allowed, and all fanworks are allowed. We have 305 prompts for you to check out.

The other way is to sign up as a gift exchange pinch hitter. Pinch hitters are people who fulfill an assignment if someone drops out. If we reach out to you, you’re under no obligation to take on the assignment; we just ask that you let us know promptly whether you can or can’t take it on. If you’d like to volunteer as a pinch hitter, you can sign up here.

GENERAL GUIDELINES & FAQ

Make sure to review the general guidelines and FAQ before joining the fun!

The thing is, there’s no way to know where these people are coming from. In the before, when fandom was more in the corners we all knew about, you could search LJ or a message board or whatever social bookmarking site we were using. You could join the community and participate.

You could get a little dopamine hit by seeing someone tell their friends why they loved your story.

Anymore, those recs are hidden in discords, or in tiktoks or instagram slideshows that you can’t search for. They’re inaccessible, not discoverable unless you’re already there. You may never know why 27 people left kudos on an old story of yours, what they liked and found in your writing. You just get the thumbs up and a kinda lonely feeling, cause these could be your people. You could like them, maybe. You could be friends.

But you’ll never find out why they stopped by, or what people are saying about you behind your back, and that’s sad.

GENERAL GUIDELINES & FAQ

Make sure to review the general guidelines and FAQ before joining the fun!

Today officially marks ten years since the CA:CW U.S. theatrical release! 🎉 Happy divorce-sary, Steve/Tony fandom. To celebrate this momentous occasion, we're holding a prompt fest, which kicked off on April 12 and is currently running through October 23.

After taking submissions from you all these past few weeks, we're thrilled to share that we collected a total of 305 PROMPTS. WOW! 🤩

So what are we doing with the prompts as a fandom? Making fanworks inspired by them, of course! If you want to join the fun, here's how to participate.

General rules & guidelines

There are no sign-ups. Anyone can fill a prompt from our prompt list anytime until October 23, 11:59 PM ET (what time is that for me?).

You must be over the age of 18 to participate, however, as some prompts contain mature themes.

There is NO minimum work requirement.

There is NO limit to how many works you can create or how many prompts you can fill.

Making multiple fills for a single prompt or combining multiple prompts for a single fill is okay.

All prompts are up for grabs, so more than one person can fill a prompt.

It's up to you how much you want to follow the prompt, whether it's faithful to the prompt or only loosely related to it.

You can collaborate with a partner(s) if you'd like.

All ratings are allowed.

All fanworks are allowed such as but not limited to art, fanmixes, fanvids, fics and other creative writing such as poems, graphics/edits, gifsets, manips, meta, mood boards, podfics, music, rec lists, web weaving, and crafts.

As we're a multilingual, global fandom, fills can be in any language.

Fills must be new works made for the event.

Fills cannot be based on existing fanworks unless the creator has granted permission either to you specifically or in their transformative works statement. If you're unsure whether the statement covers the work or you can't find a statement, ask the creator.

No gen AI/LLM (e.g., ChatGPT) use is allowed.

Everyone has different viewpoints on CA:CW, but we're all fellow fans at the end of the day. Please be kind to other participants as we want this to be a fun event for everyone! ❤️

Content rules

All fills must focus on Steve and Tony's relationship, whether it's platonic (pre-slash or gen/not shippy at all), romantic, or sexual.

We welcome everything from the 100% sugary sweet to the 100% bitterly dark. All kinds of endings—unhappy, ambiguous/open, bittersweet, hopeful, or happy—are welcome.

Darkness and angst all the way through "dead dove: do not eat" and works looking at the events of CA:CW critically are welcome, but character bashing is not allowed.

Other romantic/sexual relationships featuring Steve and/or Tony (including poly) are okay ONLY IF the primary focus of the fill is on Steve and Tony AND the fill concludes in one of the following ways: - Steve/Tony end up together (no poly) - Steve and Tony are single at the end - Steve and/or Tony is in a relationship with someone else at the end, BUT you make it obvious that the relationship is unhappy or doomed because of Steve's feelings for Tony/Tony's feelings for Steve

Fills must either be set in CA:CW or heavily based on CA:CW if the fill is canon-divergent, post-CA:CW, crossover, or fusion.

Guidelines on posting/sharing fills

Once you finish your fill, we encourage you to submit it to the "Steve/Tony CA:CW 10th anniversary prompt fest" AO3 collection by clicking the "Post to Collection" button on the top right corner of the collection page. Otherwise, when you post a new work, go to the "Associations" section, type "stevetonycacwpromptfest" next to "Post to Collections / Challenges," and click the collection once it appears.

You can also post the fill elsewhere in addition to or instead of AO3. Please do the following if you do, so we can share it with everyone: - Tumblr and Bluesky: @stevetonycacwfest or tag #stevetonycacwfest - Twitter: @stevetonycacw or tag #stevetonycacwfest - Anywhere else: contact us (we'll make sure to share the link on our socials and include the work in our master list at the end of the prompt fest)

Please include the prompt in the summary or author's note. If you don't want to spoil the audience, you can put it in an author's note at the end of the work.

If you discover the identity of the prompter, it's up to you whether you want to gift it to them personally or not. It's not mandatory.

Crossposting to other events is allowed as long as that event permits it (e.g., @cap-ironman's bingo, @lightsonparkave).

Now that you've read everything, go check out our list of 305 prompts!

we're extending the prompt fest fill submission deadline to October 23!

It's up to you how much you want to follow the prompt, whether it's faithful to the prompt or only loosely related to it.

You can collaborate with a partner(s) if you'd like.

All ratings are allowed.

All fanworks are allowed such as but not limited to art, fanmixes, fanvids, fics and other creative writing such as poems, graphics/edits, gifsets, manips, meta, mood boards, podfics, music, rec lists, web weaving, and crafts.

As we're a multilingual, global fandom, fills can be in any language.

Fills must be new works made for the event.

Fills cannot be based on existing fanworks unless the creator has granted permission either to you specifically or in their transformative works statement. If you're unsure whether the statement covers the work or you can't find a statement, ask the creator.

No gen AI/LLM (e.g., ChatGPT) use is allowed.

Everyone has different viewpoints on CA:CW, but we're all fellow fans at the end of the day. Please be kind to other participants as we want this to be a fun event for everyone! ❤️

Content rules

All fills must focus on Steve and Tony's relationship, whether it's platonic (pre-slash or gen/not shippy at all), romantic, or sexual.

All relationship permutations—gen, pre-slash, unrequited or requited love, mutual or one-sided pining, established relationship, get together/get back together, breakups, etc.—are allowed.

We welcome everything from the 100% sugary sweet to the 100% bitterly dark. All kinds of endings—unhappy, ambiguous/open, bittersweet, hopeful, or happy—are welcome.

Darkness and angst all the way through "dead dove: do not eat" and works looking at the events of CA:CW critically are welcome, but character bashing is not allowed.

Other romantic/sexual relationships featuring Steve and/or Tony (including poly) are okay ONLY IF the primary focus of the fill is on Steve and Tony AND the fill concludes in one of the following ways: - Steve/Tony end up together (no poly) - Steve and Tony are single at the end - Steve and/or Tony is in a relationship with someone else at the end, BUT you make it obvious that the relationship is unhappy or doomed because of Steve's feelings for Tony/Tony's feelings for Steve

Fills must either be set in CA:CW or heavily based on CA:CW if the fill is canon-divergent, post-CA:CW, crossover, or fusion.

Guidelines on posting/sharing fills

Once you finish your fill, we encourage you to submit it to the "Steve/Tony CA:CW 10th anniversary prompt fest" AO3 collection by clicking the "Post to Collection" button on the top right corner of the collection page. Otherwise, when you post a new work, go to the "Associations" section, type "stevetonycacwpromptfest" next to "Post to Collections / Challenges," and click the collection once it appears.

You can also post the fill elsewhere in addition to or instead of AO3. Please do the following if you do, so we can share it with everyone: - Tumblr and Bluesky: @stevetonycacwfest or tag #stevetonycacwfest - Twitter: @stevetonycacw or tag #stevetonycacwfest - Anywhere else: contact us (we'll make sure to share the link on our socials and include the work in our master list at the end of the prompt fest)

Please include the prompt in the summary or author's note. If you don't want to spoil the audience, you can put it in an author's note at the end of the work.

If you discover the identity of the prompter, it's up to you whether you want to gift it to them personally or not. It's not mandatory.

Crossposting to other events is allowed as long as that event permits it (e.g., @cap-ironman's bingo, @lightsonparkave).

Now that you've read everything, go check out our list of 305 prompts!

This is a story where Tony, a young talented player who’s become so jaded that he doesn’t know if he loves soccer anymore or if he ever really did, goes to the U.S. to be on the same team as Steve, who lives and breathes soccer. They dislike each other instantly, but they learn to be teammates and fall in love. 

—

“It’ll be a fresh start,” Pepper had told him, tapping the signature line with her “special occasions only” Montblanc—as if downgrading to the U.S. from Spain was a momentous event that deserved to be celebrated—and the best and worst part of it was that she had sincerely believed it.

Between the pen and the optimism brimming in her eyes, Tony had found himself believing it too. Or at least believing that he wasn’t throwing his life away entirely. The contract wouldn’t have even been on the table if Pepper hadn’t thought it was worth his time. She wasn’t the type to latch herself to a sinking ship; she was a loyal friend, of course, but she was also his agent and much more crucially, not an idiot. Tony had come across his fair share of clueless agents who had no idea what they were doing and Pepper was their opposite. One day, she was going to be a superagent (except not evil) and take over the world (in a non-evil way). 

But Pepper was known to be wrong on the rare occasion and Tony knew there were few places he could go where Howard’s shadow didn’t reach and his own reputation didn’t precede him. Having such a large social following and being a tabloid darling made that hard. 

Not to mention, he thought bitterly, his new club was led by Steve Rogers, the apple of Howard Stark’s eye, the guy who captured enough hearts to be dubbed Captain America even before he became captain of anything. Not exactly the most logical place to go when you’re aiming for a low profile, though maybe the rivalry was mostly in his head since they played on two different continents and weren’t even on the same national team. If he was going to give his career another shot, it could do him some good to start over away from the spotlight that would follow him no matter where he was in Europe.

Here in New York, he at least had a chance at anonymity. The MLS wasn’t the league where superstars went to retire anymore, but despite its growth, it was still a ways from being the most-watched sports league in the States. 

Here, he wouldn’t have to fight as much to reinvent himself. He could lay low, put in the work, stay away from the party life, and maybe, just maybe, not have to deal with every move he made being scrutinized and sensationalized. Or even wholly made up. Admittedly, he had fed the flames, doing things like going out to clubs the night before a match and staying until the early hours more than once, but it wasn’t like he had let that affect his on-pitch performance or even more absurdly, insisted on having a clause in his contract that Real Madrid would allow him to go clubbing at least once a week.

No one could be stupid enough to believe that—Tony could argue about why it was stupid for days, and the maxim that no player was bigger than the club was a maxim for a reason—but considering how the “news” was received, apparently most people were convinced that there was at least a kernel of truth to the rumor even if it wasn’t entirely true.

And so was his new captain, apparently. Steve Rogers could pretend all he wanted that he was as upstanding and accepting as everyone who fawned over him claimed him to be, but Tony was better at reading people than most gave him credit for. He could tell by the way Rogers painstakingly tried to fix a neutral expression on his face like any sudden move would make it slip off that he knew exactly who Tony was and he didn’t like what he saw.

A spoiled brat who got away with murder because he was so gifted and his dad and godfather were important people.
