It’s the 7th and final day of gift reveals! Check back tomorrow for creator reveals!
Please keep in mind that while viewing the works produced for this exchange, you will see a wide variety of takes on Steve’s character, ranging from light and fluffy to dark and angsty. This is because we allowed our participants the freedom to show their love for Steve in many different ways, some of which you may not agree with. Please use your good judgement when picking which works to view and comment on. If it’s not something you like, then it wasn’t for you.
To our participants, please be sure to comment on your gifts and thank your creator for making something for you. AO3 sometimes forgets to send gift emails, so be sure to check this blog (or the collection) each day to see what’s being revealed. We allowed bonus gifts, so your creator might have made something extra for you!
All creators are still secret, so don’t post anywhere about your work, even if it has been revealed. You can, however, reply to comments on your work. AO3 will automatically show you as an anon author until creator reveals.
Creators: AO3 will post your work under the date it was submitted. Once your work has been revealed, go into edit and click “Set a different publication date” then change it to today’s date. This will ensure that your work is posted to the top of the new works.
Reality is crumbling. Steve, a Knight out of time, is summoned to fix a world that isn’t really his. The future belongs to the sorcerer he has to learn to work with. Together, they have to journey forth and find a solution, and Steve finds a lot more than he expected (and more than he knew he could even want).
Steve Rogers wakes up seventy years out of time to a new world and a soulmate. It’s an adjustment.
What he doesn’t expect is Tony Stark, a brilliant futurist who is equal parts fascinating and frustrating, and has just as many demons as Steve. He also doesn’t expect to find a family with a ragtag team of superheroes, or to fall in love.
Over the span of two years as a fugitive, Steve gets a little too attached to the flip phone, his only link to Tony. (Or the story where Steve is an overachiever, even when it comes to his brooding.)
Steve is ready to move on from being Captain America. He’s not able to completely walk away from Tony though – and neither can he walk away from who he is.
Tony’s a scientist. A genius. Literally the whole world knows that.
But times like this, when someone he loves – not that he’s using the L-word with Steve just yet, nope, nosiree – is looking at him like he’s seconds away from crying and admitting that he just can’t feel touch the way he used to?
Times like that make Tony feel like the biggest idiot on the planet.
When genius, billionaire, playboy Tony Stark very publicly asks him out, Steve says yes because he doesn’t want to be the man to turn down Tony Stark on national television. For the life of him he can’t understand why someone like Tony Stark would want to go out with someone like him.
He’s wholly unprepared for what dating Tony entails, especially the media attention.
The media, it seems, can’t figure out what Tony sees in him either.
That’s it! Thank you to everyone who participated! See you tomorrow!
