Paint Me in a Corner (But My Color Comes Back)

Mobius believes him, is the thing. Believes he’s innocent. Also believes he has no one in his corner besides Mobius. Loki can’t exactly hire someone to look into it, nor does he trust anyone very easily. And maybe Mobius is being manipulated, but helping him is still the right thing to do. The fact that he’s maybe a little in love with Loki, that he’d do anything for him anyway, is irrelevant.

(Mobius spends his days keeping his eye on parolees and helping them re-enter society, and he's certainly not expecting his latest case—a trust-fund kid with a white collar conviction—to be any different than any of his others. But Loki Odinson proves to be full of surprises, including an uncanny ability to get Mobius to break every one of his personal and professional rules.)

Author’s Note: This (now outrageously overdue) fic is a fill for @marveltrumpshate: a Stony North and South AU for a glorious podbid, including @betheflame, @missmoodybear, @jehbeeeh, @festiveferret, @gottalovev, @vanilla-shoes, @bella-dahlia, and TehRoseRose. Thank you all so much for your generosity, and the strongest apologies for my own extreme tardiness.

Thank you also to @heyitsyav for the generous beta and cheer read. And thank you to everyone who takes the time to read!

Summary: Yes, Steve thought to himself: for his mother's sake he could put aside his wariness of this dim city, with its heavy air and shuttered windows. He could be friendly to this Mr. Stark for one afternoon.

Steve didn’t want to get bonded. Not like this. But he’s one of the few people who knows what SHIELD really is, and he’s put everything into helping the underground resistance movement. Bonding with Howard Starks son might be the only chance he has to infiltrate the organisation.... And to find Bucky.

Tony doesn’t want to get bonded. EVER. But he’s six weeks pregnant, and Howard insists that no Stark is going to be an unbonded mother. As his father gets the final say, and this Steve guy simply won’t be deterred, it looks like he’s going to have to deal with it.

But it’s fine, because they’re both determined to get out of this situation as quickly as possible... It would only be complicated if they actually fell in love.

She hands Steve the folder, he opens it— And immediately forgets about the temptress he had just been contemplating scandalously making his wife.  He feels pinned in place as his eyes take in the one picture before him.  This is a man.  This is a picture of the most beautiful man Steve has ever set eyes on.  It’s obviously taken without his knowledge, zoomed in from afar, maybe outside from the street. The man sits at a small table within a shop, possibly a coffee shop or maybe a bookstore, head buried in a book, cup and saucer taking up most of the space on the small table that he occupies.  It’s a simple photo, an unimpressive one even, yet Steve is forced to make an active effort to steady his breathing. He knows Natasha wouldn’t joke with him, wouldn’t play these sorts of games with him, his sexuality, and the seriousness of the situation. He asks anyway.  “Are you fucking with me?” He doesn’t look over at her as he asks his question; he can’t pull his eyes away from the photo in his lap. All he gets in response is a curt, “No,” and he knows it to be true. Steve’s first coherent thought is that he can’t imagine how intensely beautiful this man is in person if he looks like this from this shitty angle and from so far away and through the foggy glass of the shop. Hair the color of the richest chocolate, a pink mouth that pouts so naturally it’s making Steve dizzy, long and elegant fingers and deliciously long legs that seem endless— Steve wants...
