I'm sorry I don't have much for you, but since you said you liked snippets and weird AUs (that might never get written) I'm sharing one that's been living in my head rent free for months.
It's a Gundam AU where Steve wakes up in the not so distant future, years after Mars colonization. He gets involved with Tony and an emerging war between earth and Mars. As is typical of Gundam a lot of death and trauma happens. Here's a little snippet of it:
"I'm sorry," Tony said meekly.
"For disobeying my direct orders or for trying to execute a suicide mission?"
Neither. Both. He settle with, "For hurting you."
Steve sighed and rubbed his stubble riddled face roughly. Apparently, he had said the wrong thing again. Even so Steve's eyes were soft and filled with something Tony couldn't name when he looked up. "Just do me a favor and never try something like that again."
"Yeah... I don't think that's in my cards anymore. Whether I want it or not."
Steve's eyes slowly --as if reluctantly-- landed on Tony's twitching left hand.
The nerves of his left hand were fried.
There was no way he could pilot a mobile suit with that hand, and there was no telling what connecting to the Bleeding Edge again would do to his already damaged brain. Iron Man's days on the field were finished, and that was probably for the best.
He couldn't think of a more fitting end to Howard's experiment than this broken excuse of a man that that couldn't even perform to the level of a base human. It was so poetic the thought almost made him laugh.
