Better in Time by sheron ( @sheronwrites ): Tony doesn’t call until there’s live footage of Steve going down in a hail of bullets. Steve misses his call.
Evidence of Things Unsaid by sheron ( @sheronwrites ): The Avengers (and ex-Avengers) are forced to socialize at a PR event. Why is there never a monster around to attack New York when you need one?
Eigengrau by vorkosigan ( @the-vorkosigan ): Tony is captured; he doesn’t know by whom, or why. He doesn’t know how much time has passed since. What he knows is, he can now hear something in the adjacent cell, and that ‘something’ sounds a lot like Steve Rogers.
During the horror that was the Infinity War, Tony has somehow managed to fall in love with Steve. No, really, his timing’s always been stellar, in all things. He would like to pursue his feelings, he would; only, this doesn’t mesh so well with his other resolution: Steve must never ever know.
It’s been a year since the victory, and the time has come to celebrate. Everyone is about to meet again at a big gala.
Steve and Tony talk about what happened in Siberia. The only issue? Steve’s under the influence of truth serum, and Tony’s forced to accept his answers.
But everything changes when Steve answers the doorbell, and Tony Stark strides in with more grey on his temple and make-up on his face than Steve remembers.
Something Missing by Neverever ( @captainneverever ): Steve is in Wakanda working for T’Challa. But he knows he’s been away from home for too long when he finds out that Tony’s shaved off his goatee and he has to talk to someone about it. Back in New York, Tony is trying to move on. He wonders who made the nice post on an Avengers forum about missing his goatee.
Wong considered him for a moment, expression unreadable. “There’s one thing, maybe.”
live wire by spqr: The marks are a welcome distraction. The media fixates on them, the mystery of them, because it’s a lot less daunting to think about big thumbprints on your back or your side or your thigh than to think about how the planet’s population just dropped from 7 to 3.5 billion overnight.
(as a side effect of Thanos’ culling, everyone who’s left gets a soulmark)
This Is How They Win by janonny: In the aftermath of Thanos’ actions, Tony is convinced that this isn’t the end of the fight. Not yet. Doctor Strange had told him the only way to win the war, and Tony is going to follow through. No matter what.
Yours, Steve by soniclipstick (veriscence) ( @soniclipstick ): Tony has read the news, he’s seen footage of the infighting and the arrest and Steve’s bloody body on the courthouse steps. He might not remember, but he understands why Steve can barely look him in the eye anymore.
But there’s a ring on the chain of a set of dog tags that have no business being in Tony’s safe. And it fits his finger perfectly.
Highest fall you’ll ever grace by laireshi ( @laireshi ): “You’ll probably want these back,” Tony says at last, and it hurts almost physically to pull the dog tags over his head and offer them to Steve. But they never really belonged to Tony, did they?
Steve seems to hesitate for a second, but then he takes his dog tags with a weird expression. “Yeah,” he says. “They’re mine.”
The Razor’s Edge by love_in_the_stars: Steve overhears a conversation between Peter and Tony. What he learns explains everything that happened to cause the Civil War and as it turns out, nothing was like he thought.
AU Civil War era where the reasons behind the SHRA were different from the comics and Tony was the only one who knew the truth.
Better This Time by nightwalker ( @onemuseleft ): It had been two years without Tony at his side and his back, two years nursing a resentment and an anger that had refused to fade. It was time to move on, and Steve didn’t want to do it alone.
Compass Points You Home by foldingcranes ( @foldingcranes ): Dear Sharon, Steve thinks, almost with maddening euphoria, stumbling over some rocks as the waves lap at him and his body finally gives itself to shock. You’re not going to believe what happened today.
Then, he passes out.
Hope you guys enjoy the recs, and stay tuned for more this week!

my dumb ass: …so anyway back to my Stony Pride and Prejudice AU, so you know that part in the 2005 movie where Elizabeth is trying to tease Mr Darcy but he ain’t having it and is being unsociable so she’s like “What a shame, for I dearly love to laugh.” Is this not quite similar to that scene in the first Avengers film where Steve is all pissed off at Tony “Is everything a joke to you?” and Tony is all “Funny things are.” and then…

It’s been seven years since Steve and Tony split up, and Steve’s sure he’ll never see Tony again. He’s finally managed to put their failed relationship behind him and move on, focusing on his friends and building his business. But then his best friends, Bucky and Clint, decide to get married, and their wedding week at a cabin resort in Vermont turns into a minefield of heartbreak for Steve.
This isn’t the first time Steve’s been bombarded with a thousand new sensations at once, but the cacophony of sights and sounds in TImes Square from when Steve first awoke in the future is nothing compared to the sheer amount of information that floods Steve’s mind once he’s wielding the full power of the Infinity Gauntlet.
Prompt: An accident during a mission causes Steve to go feral. He growls, doesn’t seem to understand anyone, and has little concept of personal space. He’s also bossy, possessive, and oddly protective of Tony.
