Steve wanted him. Which he most certainly doesn't in real life, and Tony would most certainly never do the things Paladin did to him." Or: Paladin goes rogue on the Heroes for Hire's mission to persuade Steve about the Registration, and everything goes to hell.

Tony Stark buries himself in guilt, and Steve Rogers buries himself in fixing it. “This was inevitable, wasn’t it?” Tony said softly. “We were always going to go to war.” “No.” Steve told him. “You fund this sickness, Tony Stark. You and your dirty millions.”

Word count: 9,797 Tags: Angst, Ambiguous/Open Ending, Sex Pollen, Slow Burn, Pre-Relationship, Morally Ambiguous Character, Feelings Realization, Mutual Pining, First Kiss, Rough Sex, Porn with Feelings Summary: Thinking about Tony makes him careless. He notices it a millisecond too late, the fine, blue-violet shimmering mist settling on his eyelashes, the bow of his upper lip. Sweet and bitter like burnt sugar and, underneath, something distinctly chemical, unnatural. Steve gets exposed to an aphrodisiac when he and Tony meet to talk about the SHRA.

Yesterday's paper, most likely, which meant that he’d gone back almost a full year in time. Not long after he and Tony had reformed the Avengers.

Word Count: 6,608 Tags: Not A Fix-it, Extremis, Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms, Trans humanism, Sad Blowjobs, Angst, Mildly Dubious Consent, Ambiguous/Open Ending Summary: Tony Stark is good at many things, but he is still the best at making the worst decisions. Maybe he shouldn't have let Extremis get this much control over him and maybe, just maybe, he shouldn't have fallen this deep in love with Steve Rogers, when the two of them together only means tragedy.

Fic: Hold me down, I'm so tired now. by @resurrectedhippo for @somekindofsheepl

Word count: 2,756 Tags: Angst, Civil War, Canon Compliant Summary: The suit reassembles itself on Tony's body, hiding the gold. Gold like whiskey, Steve thinks. Once, maybe, he would have allowed himself to drown in Tony Stark's presence. Not anymore. He takes the shield and walks away.

Fic: On My Honor I Will Try to Serve God and My Lover, To Help People at All Times, and to Live by the SRA by @rivalshell for @starvels

Word count: 16,949 Tags: Transgender Natasha Stark, Gender Reaffirming Procedures Using Extremis (Marvel), Fetish, Transphobia, Chaser Steve Rogers, Internal Conflict, Marriage Counseling, Fix-It of Sorts, Political Marriage, Femdom Summary: The public did not truly mourn the bodies, not really, nor did they mourn the people inside of them. They mourned the myth that Tony Stark was in control and that the myth could be trusted not to build his own executioner. Alas, like many things the world saw Tony as, it was mightily, heavily wrong. Nobody truly cared one way or another what had really happened. Had Iron Man's brain been hacked? Was it all Iron Man? Who pulled the trigger? No, not a single one of those questions brought about real conversation. Nuance is ineffective in this day and age. Truth’s objectivity is fogged by white men panting at screens showcasing their opinion as the right one, and they have the most powerful voices. It was his tech, his code, his blood-programmed armor wrapped around the world like a noose. There was no coming back from that. So he didn’t. At half past noon on a Sunday, she makes an incision, peeling back the skin of a cursed man and stepping out trembling and gleaming and monstrous. Her name is Natasha Stark, and she does not care if they believe her. - 3490's Civil War resolved peacefully, alright. But peace is in the eye of the beholder.

Fic: Wherever I'm Real, You're There by @rivalshell

Word count: 3,670 Tags: Tony Stark as an AI, Recovered Memories, Getting Together, Trauma, The Bridge (Marvel Comics), Grief/Mourning, Angst with a Happy Ending Summary: The Second American Superhuman Civil War left Tony in a coma. In awakening, his body tells him one thing: it's possible he is an artificial intelligence, homegrown and pasteurized by his own hands. Then come the memories; impossible fragments of the First American Superhuman Civil War, moments he deleted from his mind to escape Osborn's rampage. Things he knows but did not live are settling in him as though they were always there. They are wrong, and yet they fit too well. And of course, Steve - fresh out of his own hell of having his life, face, and public image completely fucked by Kobik and the totally-not-a-Nazi Captain Hydra Supreme - has also seen fit to waltz right into Tony's life again. With him, he's brought a new possibility of things between them being the 'more' that they have never talked about. It is these fractures through his life that drive him to Reed Richards’ doorstep. Reed's doorstep, in turn, leads him to an opportunity; a glimpse into things that never were. The Bridge may or may not help him find the answer to the question... "Does Tony Stark still have a soul?" The all-knowing multiverse beckons for a scrutinizing eye.
