B – A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind. Well, I didn’t get the appeal of Steve/Thor at first – the pairing felt very much like “dating your brother” but I have a multi-shipping friend who talked me into trying a few fics when I was talking about trying to find something to scratch a particular itch (brothers-in-arms type fics). Now she’s trying to talk me into T’Challa/Eric, so far I’ve been resistant.
N – Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice). More Avengers Assemble and Marvel Adventures Avengers fic for Steve/Tony. More fantasy AUs that aren’t king/knight AUs – like fairies or elves or something like that. And definitely more humor fic – good humor stuff is hard to write so I really appreciate authors who try and we could use a lot more humor and silliness in the fandom.
P – Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas). This might have been done already – how Steve as a famous quilt or knitting teacher and Tony is a new student getting into quilting or knitting. Or maybe they are rival teachers/designers and there’s friction and then hate sex in the yarn aisle … I know embroidery but I don’t know knitting that well to write this.
Z – Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go! (Prompts optional but encouraged.) Hmm, I think that we really need in the Steve/Tony corner of the world are more off-the-wall, crazy and fun fics. At the height of Stargate Atlantis fandom, authors were doing all sorts of off-the-wall stuff like one character was a sentient rainbow and the other character something else and they fell in love. That sort of thing. I found myself writing a lot of Cap and Tony fic that were them in uniform and doing the superhero thing over the past two years so I need to get back to the AUs too. But gosh for all the CACW-inspired fic that’s terrific out there, I would like to see a big helping of Steve and Tony lost in a video game stories (not AvAc) or they are rival flying carpet salesmen or office buddies playing pranks on each other or pokemon trainers …
I had the great fortune to work with the amazing @hellogarbagetime who created the most amazing art to go along with this piece – here

But their fairy cities are on the verge of war. Steve could lose his life if his king finds out that he is in love with Tony. Tony could lose everything if his fellow fairies find out about Steve. But they need each other like they need air.
And there is a worse danger coming than war between their cities that could destroy everything.
The only way I want Avengers 4 ending… my two babes, old (oldish in Steve’s case), playing chess in the park, and bickering like an old married couple.
