Fix-It Friday, July 13th: All fix-its, all day.

Okay, fix-its, here we go! 

Some of these are kind of fix-its, so mind the tags. Most of these are post-CA:CW with a few IW and 616 fics thrown in. 

Remember to leave kudos and comments for your hard-working authors!

CA:CW Fix-Its:

The Ruins of Babel series by WhenasInSilks ( @whenas-in-silks ): Amid the rubble of their fallen empire, Steve and Tony struggle to find a common language. (WIP)

almeno tu nell’universo by silkspectred ( @silkspectred ): Tony drives off.

Well, he wants to. But he can’t. Because. Steve Rogers is in front of his car. 

Steve fucking Rogers. Is in front of Tony’s fucking car.

shelter from the storm by silkspectred ( @silkspectred ): Tony adopts a baby. Guess who’s Majorly Fucked Up™ about it.

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?

Mailbox Full series by RurouniHime ( @thegertie ): Tony bypasses into the mailbox every time. It drives Steve absolutely nuts.

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.

Recognize Fate (A Dramedy of Manners) by vorkosigan ( @the-vorkosigan ):

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.

Another Chance (The Complete Honesty Remix) by laireshi ( @laireshi ): 

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.

i have found the one (whom my soul loves) by soniclipstick (veriscence) ( @soniclipstick ): It’s been months since the Avengers were pardoned. One by one, they’d all gone home, until Steve finds himself alone in the grand old building T’Challa had given them.

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.

like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die by cptxrogers ( @cptxrogers ): Tony is still furious at Steve over the events of Civil War. But when Steve gets kidnapped using Stark technology, Tony feels responsible and figures out a plan to save him – by getting kidnapped himself.

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.

never thought, but knew by navaan ( @navaanwrites ): A man waits for him in a dark corridor. But it can’t be Steve, because he’s on the other side of the world.

Infinity War Fix-Its:

The Future is Yet in Your Power by FestiveFerret ( @festiveferret ): "Now.“ Wong leaned back in his chair. “What would you do to save this world from Thanos’ attack? What would you sacrifice?”

“Anything,” Steve said. “Anything at all.”

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.

Rewriting The Universe by itsallAvengers ( @itsallavengers ): Thanos won. There’s ash in the air. Earth is burning and there’s no hope, no salvation, no nothing.

Of course, that’s before Steve realizes Tony Stark is still alive and kicking.

End Is Just A New Beginning by izazov ( @izazov ): It has been a year since Thanos’ defeat.

616 Fix-Its:

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!
