Interviewer (INT): You’ve declined all interviews since your retirement. Why now?

Steve Rogers (SR): I was convinced it was worth doing.

or: After nearly a decade out of the public eye, Steve Rogers agrees to reflect on his time as Captain America and why he stepped back. He gets asked about Tony, instead.

'the whole world is asking who's gonna be the next iron man… and i don't know if that's me, happy. i'm not iron man.'

'you're not iron man. you're never gonna be iron man. nobody could live up to tony, not even tony. tony was my best friend, and he was a mess; he second-guessed everything he did, he was all over the place. the one thing that he did that he didn't second-guess was picking you. i don't think tony would have done what he did if he didn't know that you were gonna be here after he was gone.'

LAST DAY TO 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.
