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.

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 :)

---

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.

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