It’s Ults day! To celebrate the happiest day of the year, here are recs for lots of great Ults fics published this year. For even more Ults goodness, check out this list of Ults recs from last year. Wishing everybody a happy 16/10 😀
Fluff:
The word I use to describe by
nanasekei“Here,” Steve says, in guise of explanation. Tony’s
expression is puzzled. He takes his head off Steve’s shoulder,
straightening his posture.
“Is that for me?”
“Yeah,” Steve
breathes. His stomach is clenching in anxiety, which is ridiculous –
it’s just a fucking ugly scarf, Tony knows so many people, he’s got to
have gotten worse gifts before. “It’s, uh. A bit late.”My Heart Would Benefit From a Little Tenderness From Time to Time
by SuperstringSymphony
“Come with me.” Tony licks his lips, blue eyes lifting to meet Steve’s.
“We’ve both had a long week, I thought you might like to relax.” Tony’s
gaze darts from side to side. Steve has noticed since they started this
that Tony only ever truly looks nervous when he’s talking to him. “The
car is around the front, what do you say, weekend getaway?” Tony smiles,
stroking a hand down his back with a featherlight touch. Steve just
barely represses a shiver, eyeing Tony for a moment. With other people
he’s always a little shuttered. Here though, with Steve, his expression
is unguarded, eyes bright with hope. He looks a little strained though,
as if the week has taken its toll on him as well.
In Trouble Deep
by FestiveFerret, SirSapling @festiveferret @sirsapling
“Whoever did this has a reason, and Stark needs to be with someone who
can protect him. He won’t exactly be able to protect himself like this.”
Fury looked at the baby consideringly. “No, it’s you, Steve. Besides,
he likes you. Suck it up, soldier, you’re stuck with him.”How To Keep Your Capwolf Happy by
laireshi @laireshi“How was I supposed to know it’d happen? The virus
seemed to be completely out of your body. But don’t worry, Cap, you make
a dashing werewolf.”
Steve growled.
“You’re not proving me wrong, darling.”“Is it true you and Captain America are dating?” the journalist asked.
Tony
gave her his most charming smile. “Captain America likes to keep his
life private,” he said. “But he knew who I was when he kissed me.”
Another fake, wide smile. “We’re very happy.”Like Sands Through the Hourglass
by BlossomsintheMist @blossomsinthemistIt’s a hard mission for the Ultimates. Luckily, neither Steve nor Tony are as alone as they used to be.
Angst:
Fool’s Luck
by msermesth @msermesthSteve arrives on his doorstep exactly three hours and twenty-seven minutes after Tony finishes the last word of his eulogy.
A Uniform Velocity from the Cradle to the Grave by Sineala @sineala
The machine found in the wake of the attempted Chitauri
invasion opens a portal that could lead anywhere. Steve’s sure as hell
not expecting it to lead a decade in the future, to a New York reeling
from another alien attack. And he’s definitely not expecting the man he
finds on the other side of it.A Hundred Times, Once
by FestiveFerret, SirSaplingThe shrill tone of his SHIELD beeper pulls Steve out of
sleep and into battle. He fights robots, he fights Tony’s shameless
advances, he fights the exhaustion that threatens to take over him,
drown him. And then the next morning, he wakes and does it again.
Exactly the same.
And again.
And again.
And again.Stronger Together
by NevereverSteve has to fight on new battlegrounds to save Tony
when Tony is terribly injured in a fight and it’s revealed that they’re
secretly married.Every Chance We’ll Have by magicasen
A mission gone south leaves a city block decimated and
Iron Man hospitalized, but what makes top headlines is the fact that
Captain America has a secret lover.To the man himself, it’s a
living nightmare. His husband is in a coma, his entire world is falling
apart around him, and Steve has to to confront realities he never wanted
to.Smut:
Taking the Edge Off
by CapnShellheadCap was a strange one. Every month, for three days, he
would head off to some remote location in the woods. So, of course Tony
decides to follow him.Out of Touch by
mitochondrials
Tony is suffering the aftereffects of some AIM engineered breeding
chemical. Steve, despite his embarrassment, firmly advocates helping.
Euperipatoides maxiphallus by AnonymousSteve gets into a sticky situation. With bugs.
two bottle whiskey for the way
by enkiduuSteve lets Tony fuck him, but it was only supposed to be the once. It was only supposed to be that much.
Come On Mess Me Up
by cptxrogersBeing president isn’t easy, especially when you’ve got a
civil war to deal with and your staff keeps sending you to PR events.
Steve’s had just about enough of the office, the deferential staffers,
and the stuffy shirts that Carol makes him wear.
What he really wants is for someone to come along and make a mess of him.You Don’t Know What Thirst Is
by FestiveFerret
“I need…” Steve stumbled forward again. “Help me. Please.” He took one
last step, and his legs gave out. He fell to his knees, chin tipped
down, chest heaving. His whole body trembled.Being president isn’t easy, especially when you’ve got a

Ults Tony has a nice day. aka Tony talks Steve through sucking his cock.
Multiverse:
Reflections by laireshi (Ults & 616)
“I am you,” Tony just said.
“You’re certainly
pretty enough for it,” the other him said. He made a show of looking
around. “Is Captain America here, as well?”Ulterior Motives by Sineala
(Ults & Planet Hulk)Captured in combat and sold to Arcade, Steve is one of
the few survivors of a long-forgotten domain of Battleworld. With Bucky
and Devil Dinosaur at his side, Steve fights in the Killiseum by day –
and his body is on offer for the richest of the Killiseum’s patrons by
night. One evening, he’s given to a man by the name of Antonio Stark,
who has a whole lot of feelings for someone who isn’t exactly him, and
together they work out an understanding.A Thousand Kisses Deep by laireshi
(Ults & 616)Steve doesn’t seem too happy when Steve Rogers of
Marvel Ultimate gets transported into their universe. He seems even less
happy when Tony and the new Steve get closer to each other.& hell is around the corner (remix) by CapnShellhead
(Ults & MCU)
Steve stumbles across an unlikely sight in the kitchen.
Just for the Conversation
by
msermesth
(Ults & 616)Tony’s fine. He’s back on the Avengers, Steve seems to have forgiven him, and he’s building Resilient to change the world.
Then why is he so jealous of Steve’s new boyfriend?
(Or:
that awkward moment when you realize you are in love with your old best
friend while having a three-way with him and his boyfriend, who just
happens to be your counterpart from another universe.)A Little Less Conversation
by ladyshadowdrake
(Ults & 616)Maybe being thrown into an alternate universe was not
so bad. Not only were there less planet-eating monsters to fight, but
Antonio Stark encounters a Steve Rogers with a similar itch to scratch,
who’s willing to engage in some mutual relief.Not like that.
by SilverInStars
(Ults & Noir)Noir! Tony stumbles across Ults! Steve in a forest.
Two’s Company, Three’s a Crowd, Four’s a Party by cptxrogers

Ults Steve gets gangbaged by Tony from four different universes.

capimrecweek – fluffy Thursday
Today it’s Steve/Tony fluff recs!
For Sentimental Reasons by BlossomsintheMist (Ultimates)
Summary: Ultimates Steve and Tony have hard lives–and they end up relaxing together. It turns into a habit. Non-sexual submission with service top Steve and sub Tony.
Why you should read it: Honestly it feels like this fic was written as a gift from the universe (or from BlossomsintheMist) to me personally because service tops are literally my favorite people in the universe and I whole-heartedly believe that Steve is one (well, usually, they like to switch it up okay). The writing is beautiful, Steve and Tony are in love, it’s amazing. I want to live in this fic forever.The Road to the Grail is Paved with Hermits by Lenalena for Ellidfics (MCU)
Summary: Steve has gotten himself stuck in the Middle Ages and he is desperately waiting to be rescued. After more than a year, he hears about a red and gold flying demon that has dared all of King Arthur’s knights to come challenge it. He hopes this means that Iron Man has come for him, so that all he needs to do is find Tony and get out of this place. Should be simple. Tony didn’t even know where he would end up, when he went after Steve. It’s not been an easy adjustment for him, to put it mildly. And once he has figured out how to find Steve in this primitive shit show, how the hell is going to get him back home? Sir Thomas Malory meets Monty Python, with more hermits than any sensible story needs.
Why you should read it: (I wasn’t sure whether to share this on fluff day or angst day and settled on fluff because, while there is angst, there’s also humor, idk.) So this is HILARIOUS and perfect. It has plot AND character development AND feels AND jokes. What more could you ask for?There is No Place Like Home for the Holidays by Lenalena (MCU)
Summary: Steve is the first to come home to the tower after S.H.I.E.L.D. goes down. Then Natasha and Clint arrive. Tony doesn’t mind, really, he’s got the space. Except it’s December and they insist on doing Christmassy shit. Who the hell has time for that?!? Christmas 5 – Tony 0
Why you should read it: I know it’s July and everything but. Look, I don’t even celebrate Christmas, so if anything it being featured prominently in a fic makes me skeptical rather than excited. But this right here is the quality New York City Christmas schmaltz! Ice skating at Rockefeller Center! Buying chestnuts off the street! Tony decorating cookies to look like the other Avengers! Plus lots of thoughtful character details, like Steve going to midnight mass.You Know How to Give by brandnewfashion (MCU)
Summary: Steve was one of very few people who knew that the real Tony Stark was thoughtful and selfless, and genuinely cared about others. The problem? The man was absolute shit at showing it.
Why you should read it: Fluff with a side of plot, humor, and character development. The pacing and structure is really well-done, and I love all the dialogue.Out for a Spin by Neverever (MCU)
Summary: Tony goes to a car show with Steve but he’s never sure if they’re talking about cars or maybe something else.
Why you should read it: This is SO cute and funny. Steve is sassy and clever and sweet and smitten. I love subtext that is just… not even subtext any more. Fortunately for Steve, so does Tony. (Also, you definitely don’t need to know anything about cars to enjoy this fic because I know as little is possible to know about them. I’m not even that good at driving them.)
