Comics Steve/Tony: 616, Ults, Secret Wars: Civil War, Iron Man Noir, Bullet Points

Specifically anything Identity Porn, Internalized homophobia (for Ults Steve, including him working through it), Team as a family, Early 616 Canon, Hickmanvengers, Lovers to Enemies to Lovers, Enemies to Friends to Lovers, Characters being not perfect/messing up.
I would prefer if there were no crossovers into the MCU (Other Multiverse shenanigans are fine)

Other Fandoms/Ships/Characters:

Scum Villain's Self Saving System:

Ships: Luo Binghe/Shen Yuan|Shen Qingqiu, Liu Qingge/Shen Yuan|Shen Qingqiu, Luo Binghe/Liu Qingge/Shen Yuan|Shen Qingqiu, Shang Qinghua/Mobei Jun, Shen Yuan|Shen Qingqiu/Shang Qinghua (these two specifically in a no transmigration setting)
I love pining and oblivious everyone, seriously give me all the oblivous pining. Cumplane is an exception to no mundane AUs

Heaven Official's Blessing:

Ships: Hua Cheng/Xie Lian, Feng Xin/Mu Qing, He Xuan/Shi Qingxuan
I would love anything with explicitly asexual!Mu Qing. Also a big fan of post-canon stories, modern AUs, land of the tender/sex pollen
I prefer if stories do not completely glossing over the Xie Lian's and Mu Qing's chosen cultivation path in regards to sex.

The Untamed:

Ships: WWX/LWJ, WWX/JC/LWJ, WWX/JC, LXC/JGY, NHS/JC, NHS/JC/WWX, NHS/JGY, LXC/JGY/NMJ, NMJ/NHS
Some of my likes: JC & WWX (not-)talking about the golden core situation, complicit!LXC

Likes: Identity Porn!!, Canon divergence (starting close-ish to canon), Soulmates, Angst (especially with a Happy Ending, but that is not required), Mutual Pining, Queer themes, Asexual/Aromantic Characters, Slow Burn, Soulmates

Dislikes: Explicit suicidal thoughts/suicide (non-explicit is fine), PWP, Daddy kink, Scat, Mundane AUs (unless otherwise stated), Jumpscares, pure Fluff, A/B/O, glossing over trauma and making characters good people in a canon setting where they are not

Non-fandom related requests/anything else?: I would be happy about any kind of fanwork (fic, art, podfic, playlists, whatever). I am also happy with podfics of my own fics and I would love cover art for any of my podfics that don't have cover art yet. If you have recs for anything listed above (especially from people that have blanket permission) I would love to have them too. I'm also a sucker for (free) fannish knitting and crochet patterns. And last but not least, I would also love some nice comments/greetings.

I've really enjoyed your podfics. I've listened to so many while I'm driving and I'm always thrilled to see there's a podfic link when I open up a new fic. Thanks a lot!

I made you a little fan art. I hope you like it. If you want it at a higher resolution, just ask.

I am so so happy you are enjoying my podfics, that is always very nice to hear!
And wow, I like this art a lot! I love it when Tony flies and the red trace he left behind gives the image a very nice dynamic kind of feel in contrast to the rigid skyscrapers. And at the same time it has a kind of cozy vibe. Thank you!!!

Happy Stocking!

Hi Cat! Thank you so much for being part of the server, I always love your enthusiasm and really like when you're around to talk! I also really want to participate more in the SteveTony Games which is the coolest idea ever.

I wrote you a ficlet about Ults Steve's internalized homophobia. Unfortunately it's not resolved in this little bit ;_; but in my heart, he definitely learns to be okay with himself in the future :)

AO3 link

---

Steve’s phone buzzed. A message from Tony. A link from Tony. Steve didn’t even bother tapping his phone screen to open the website after scanning the word bisexual in the link.

this isn’t me, he typed out. His eyes lingered on the sent message, before it all disappeared. Steve jerked as his phone vibrated, realizing his text messages had been replaced by a screen that read Tony Stark, with a red and green phone icon.

“Why?” Tony snapped when Steve brought the phone to his ear. “What’s so not you with liking men? I didn’t dream you coming down my throat last night.”

“You didn’t dream that. But it’s not me.”

“You know, my bisexual awakening opened up a whole new world.” A pause followed, which was an eternity in Tony’s world. “I thought you’d like it, having a name for it. A chance to learn something new about yourself.”

Tony could have flattened Steve on his back, and it would have hurt less. Tony thought it would be a good thing, for Steve to have something new in his life, to be reborn. He was trying to help, in all the wrong ways.

If Steve liked men, it was as good as starting over. The foundation that held him up would crumble, and he’d have to build it all back up again. He’d already had to start over once, waking up in the future, clinging desperately to the few things that were familiar. Steve already felt so dwarfed by this world. He barely could handle the future as an adult, twenty-plus years of being Steve Rogers, a man who loved women. Asking a weak, immature Steve Rogers who liked men and women to stand up in this future? Not only did Steve not like it—he'd rather jump into the freezing ocean headfirst than consider it.

“You can call yourself anything you want, Stark. But, it’s not my word.” It will never be his word.

Re: Happy Stocking!

[cathalinaheart]

Thank you!! I'm happy you enjoy the games. They'll be back again this summer.

And I already left an AO3 comment, but I just want to reiterate that i love this ficlet and all the emotion it carries!!

[veryvincible]

Hello, Cat!!! once again it is nice to have the opportunity to show appreciation for you on a holiday, so here i am!

Here is a free Iron Man plush doll pattern that I came across, and here is a Cap with a removable cowl! I hope you enjoy the patterns ^^

Happy holidays!

[cathalinaheart]

Ooh, those are cute! Thank you for linking them cass!

[nostalgicatsea]

Happy new year, Cat! :) You are doing so much for the Steve/Tony community with all the wonderful podfics that you do and I love seeing all the crafty stuff you come up with. I tried to look for free patterns for you, but I'm clueless when it comes to knitting/crochet stuff and I didn't have much luck haha.

Here are some recs instead:

- "Let Us Not Forget This" by citsiurtlanu
Summary: Steve Rogers knew, knows, will know Tony Stark, the adventurer, the scientist, the futurist. And Tony Stark - well, he's not really fond of the idea of this Captain America fellow being assigned to tag along as he, Rhodey, Pepper, and Jarvis race to find a powerful relic before the Nazis do, but he just has to go with it. What he doesn't - and can't - realize is how deeply Cap is tied into his life in ways he can barely even understand.

Note: Iron Man Noir identity porn. Don't look at the tags if you care about being spoiled (there are no warnings in the tags so you don't have to worry about missing any if you want to avoid spoilers).

-what wicked penance" by malfaisant
Summary: A confrontation with the Black Swan forces Tony to think about what he's already lost, and how much more he's willing to lose.

Note: Hickmanvengers angst! Tony wrestling with his despair over all the possible futures he sees and the one constant, his love for Steve.

- Everything That Dies" by phenominable_snowman
Summary: Tony was compiling a mental list of Captain America’s buttons and how not to push them. He was writing himself a handbook.

Note: Lovely, sad early 616 Steve/Tony where Tony pines after Steve and wants him to stop looking and feeling so much like a ghost. Phen has a blanket permission policy! :)

JUST KIDDING. I found some free fannish knitting stuff:

- Captain Marvel beanie

- Spidey socks

- Venom scarf

- Captain America shield shawl

- Cap hoodie

[cathalinaheart]

Ah thank you sea! I put the recs in my marked for later. They look great.
and omg that venom scarf, I hadn't see that one before. I do have the right yarn at home to make the captain marvel beanie...it would fit great to my captain marvel shawl... *hides mountain of knitting/crochet wips*

[nostalgicatsea]

Enjoy! And the Venom scarf is so cute. I love all the teeth haha. And if you have the right yarn for the beanie...it was meant to be made. :P

Hey!

You said you wanted cover art for your podfics; I found that Caving In did not have cover art so I attempted to make a cover for it using a public domain cave picture.

Graphic design is Not My Passion but, uh, I think it's mostly readable? I hope that's okay. The font is an actual ComicCraft lettering font (CC Meanwhile), which I figured was very comics. I just figured out how to outline letters in Gimp so hopefully that ups the readability a little.

Happy holidays!

[cathalinaheart]

Thank you, I love it!! And it is very readable imo. I immediately updated the podfic post to include the cover art!

Happy New Year and happy Valentine's day Cathalina!

Sorry I couldn't have anything ready on time, but I wanted to say hi and thank you for helping me before.

[cathalinaheart]

Happy new year and happy valentine! And I am always happy to help with anything I can help with

[starvels]

Hello cathalina! i hope the holidays and new year's have treated you wonderfully!

for your stocking this year, i have knitted you a fic based on the following likes of yours:
- 616
- canon divergence (starting close-ish to canon)
- queer themes
- asexual/aromatic characters
- team as family

your fic is: [since we're alone (you can show me your heart)]

enjoy and have a great valentine's! 😍

[cathalinaheart]

This was an amazing fic, thank you so much! and have (had) a great valentine's too!

[festiveferret]

Happy stockings! Maybe you'll like this coaster pattern. I've made it a bunch and it's really fun and can be adapted to a bunch of things <3 https://www.ahookamigurumi.com/star-into-crochet-circle/ (I made an arc reactor version I'm happy to share as well if you like it!)

[cathalinaheart]

Oooh that looks very neat! Thank you! And I think I know what is happening on every step/google will help me verify. I am actually surprised by how much I think i understand of the written instructions with not looking at the pics, given that I do not speak french. And yes please, I'd be very interested in the arc reactor version!

[festiveferret]

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to link to the French version! I think it does by default, maybe, but there's a button in the very top right that toggles between French and English. The arc reactor is here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/arc-reactor-coaster <3

[cathalinaheart]

Ohh, I completely missed that lmao, thank you! And that arc reactor looks amazing, I added it to my faves, thank you for linking me!
