Non-fandom related requests/anything else?: I admittedly don’t listen to music much, and as I struggle coming up with titles for my fics, song recs that remind you of stevetony are much appreciated!
I welcome any recs based on my likes, be that fics, art, comics, anything!
Any accompanying fanworks (art, moodboards, gifsets etc.) for or podfics of my fics would make me incredibly happy! (Most of them are MCU for now, but I do have this one Avengers Twilight fic.)
Or you can simply just drop a message for me and ignore everything above, I’d love that a lot too!!!

Some prompts if you like, but feel free to ignore them!
1. Red Zone: Tony wakes up in the hospital after saving Steve's life. Steve is not happy that Tony risked his own life for his.
2. Execute Program: Tony goes to Steve instead of Sal and/or Steve’s reaction to Tony cleanshaven with blonde hair
3. Execute Program: but the murders were actually Tony under the influence of Extremis
4. Avengers Twilight: Steve and Tony die at the same time at the end (They have a mental link at that moment? They meet in Valhalla?)
5. Tony and Steve are in a committed relationship. After a particularly bad argument, Tony breaks his sobriety, gets very drunk and ends up sleeping with someone else.
6. Steve and Tony have sex while Tony is drunk. Steve feels incredibly guilty. Tony never mentions it, so Steve thinks he doesn't remember.
7. Tony and Steve have a friends with benefits arrangement that they put on hold every time Tony gets a girlfriend. However, when next time Steve tries to call it off for the same reason, Tony gets irrationally jealous.
8. Tony is dating Steve without telling him he's Iron Man. When Steve finds out months later, he feels very hurt and manipulated.
9. Steve and Tony are practically dating, except they aren't. They are as close as it's platonically possible, but Tony keeps seeing and sleeping with other people.
10. Ever since the serum, Steve has viewed his body as a tool, something that's not really "his" and he owes it to the world to use it in any way necessary to help other people. Including sleeping with whoever it is necessary for a mission to succeed without giving it much thought. (This was actually prompted by Birthe on POTS, but I'm obsessed with it and she said at the time that I can put it in my sign-up!)

Art prompts:
1. Avengers Twilight: Tony in his prosthetic suit and naked Steve
2. NSFW SIM or SIM/Steve featuring the symbiote armor
3. Tony riding behind Steve on his motorcycle

Hello! Happy valentine's day!
Your Avengers Twilight fic made me remember how good that comic is. And when you said that you'd been inspired by a certain quote, I just knew I had to put that quote into an edit. Without further ado:

I'll do a tumblr post after reveals :)

LU OMG, I'M SO TOUCHED!!!

Thank you so much for this, it's absolutely beautiful, and instantly made me all emotional about Avengers Twilight stevetony again AAAAAHHHH 😭

I said this in my message to you as well, but your comment on my fic meant so much to me, I can't even tell you how happy it makes me that you liked it so much, that fic is very near and dear to my heart ❤️

Hi Val!!!! Surprise!

Your prompt about Tony struggling to be physically intimate with Steve caught my interest back in the HE exchange, and I thought I'd give it a go for the POTS stocking but I didn't very far at all before deadline, but then I realised this stocking was sill open, so here we are! I saw that you even wrote your own version of this, (which I definitely need to read), so I hope you enjoy what I did with it <3333

As for music, I tend to just put my music on shuffle and wait for the right title to come to me, but Wish You The Best by Lewis Capaldi has been stuck in my head today, and that could be a nice bittersweet stevetony song. His other songs are good too (like hold me while you wait, for instance), and Taylor Swift is a go to for me when in doubt, but I have a lot of other faves too. Feel free to dm me anytime you're stuck, I'd be happy to brainstorm title ideas (or to chat about whatever, you’re so lovely and I have really enjoyed interacting with you, and how thrilled you were with the last fic I wrote you 💖)

ANA!!! Now this was a surprise indeed! Liv slipped up and told me she betaed my mystery gift when I figured out which prompt it was for by stalking the collection tags lol, and she also said the author was someone she hasn't done beta for before. I was mentally going through everyone I knew was participating or writing for this event, trying to figure out who would both write MCU and ask Liv to beta, and eventually I arrived to you, but I was like, nah, she wrote 10k for me recently for HE, there's no way! BUT GUESS WHAT!!! 😂

I truly lucked out getting you as my gifter in HE, I can't believe you're spoiling me so much! I'm so excited to read your fic soon omg ❤️❤️❤️

I've never listened to Lewis Capaldi before, but that was some very nice music! Especially Wish You The Best hit me straight in the stevetony feels AAAAAAAHHHHHH 😭
And I guess that I should tell you I'm sorry
It seems I was the problem somehow
Maybe I only brought you down

Awwwww omg please feel free to slide into my DMs anytime too!!! 🥰

I’m so in awe of your detective skills, and it’s so amusing that the only thing holding you back from certainty was the fact that surely I’m not THAT nice. But hey, HE was an assignment, this was voluntary! It’s different. And that experience just told me how fun you are to write for, so… I’m (patiently) excitedly awaiting your response!

I’m so glad you enjoyed Lewis, and that it gave you stevetony vibes. All his songs are so perfect for breakup/civil war/bittersweet vibes.

I'm seriously so touched 🥹❤️❤️

Finally got to read it last night and left you a proper comment too on ao3 🥰

Happy stocking day! I made you a Darkhold valentine. It was going to be a collage, but the panels are all soooo pretty that I just wanted the collage to be nothing but giant unedited panels.

I mean. I’d get in the armor with him.

Awwww look at him, he's so cute!!! 10/10 would join him in the armor 😆

Thank you so much for this twisted Valentine's Card, I love Darkhold Iron Man, and the art is indeed sooooo pretty!

Happy stockings day!

Oh boy, where do I even begin. I always joke that our friendship started like Ellie and Carl from Up where Ellie was just like “i've decided you’re my friend now and you have no choice” because I saw you talking about wanting to read comics in the server and I was like “let’s read them together!!” and haven't left you alone since haha. Thank you for always cheer/alpha/beta reading my fics and listening to me ramble about them for hours on end and listening to me complain when writing is hard, and just for being a wonderful friend. And for reading comics with me!! Even the bad ones lmao!! I’m sorry I can’t keep my own secrets and you basically know about everything I made for you :facepalm: I just… can’t *not* tell you about what I’m creating, haha.

I have, like, a thousand things for you, so this will be the longest stocking fill in the universe, maybe.

Let's start with fic recs - you asked for podfic, and boy, do I have those. All by cookiemom6067, because cookiemom has *lots* of amazing podfics! So here we go!

* Major Donor, by FestiveFerret
* darling, darling, by meidui
* Truths and Roses Have Thorns About Them, by FestiveFerret (this one made me cry, like. get ready.)
* All Better, by FestiveFerret and SirSapling
* not gruesome, just human, by isozyme
* Hollow, by FestiveFerret (this one ALSO made me cry, like, Ferret is too good at making me feel emotions omg)
* Think of This as Solving Problems (That Should Never Have Occurred), by Sineala

And this one isn't a podfic, but I'm sure you'd love it: Do It Over by Sineala

I also made you a playlist!! That again, you already know about (seriously, I need to learn how to keep my own secrets, this is becoming a problem). But you don't know what songs I put in it, so!! Here's 1 hour of some of my favorite Stevetony songs, for you. Do let me know if you like them, because I have more, lol.

That's not all, though. I wrote you a little ficlet for the Red Zone prompt. And then I went completely insane and wrote an entire 3k post-mcu cw fic because apparently whenever I'm not writing Civil War my brain is like "you know what you should write, actually?"

So here we are.

Okay, that's not all, though. I *also* have a moodboard for you! I happen to know you like Captain America and Iron Man 2021, and I also noticed you liked this moodboard design, so I made you this:

Okay, so now you're probably thinking, "annie's done posting gifts for me, right?"
Welllllll... I will also be posting comments for your most recent fics on AO3 on reveals day as a stocking surprise that's not actually a surprise because I can't surprise you, ever, apparently. But it's the thought that counts?

Okay, now I'm done. I hope you like these!!! I hope you have a great week. love u! <3333

The Ellie and Carl from UP parallel is the sweetest thing ever ❤️❤️❤️ You really were like that haha!

Even if sometimes not even reading them together makes the bad comics fun, it certainly makes reading them easier! 😆

I love the way you write and the stories you create, so it's my pride and joy to be your Greek alphabet 😌

Even if you couldn't keep my gifts a secret, I still very much appreciate you spoiling me rotten omg 😂❤️ I GOT TWO!!! FICS!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN 😭 And they were both so good!!!

I CAN'T WAIT to listen to the playlist and the podfics omg, expect me to go screaming in your DMs about them afdjfhskd

THE MOODBOARD!!! 😭 I actually didn't think you'd use the layout I seemed to gravitate towards, see I can be oblivious enough to surprise! And you even put my Tumblr quote on it awwwww 😍

Thank you for the lovely comments as well! I must admit I was a little perplexed when you updated your to-do list in OUR CHAT and it said ~~comments for Val~~ among other things, but I very much appreciate you not wanting to leave me out of any of your little stockings projects, it's so sweet ❤️

Hello and all! I have to say your prompts were very inspiring. I wrote you a quick one here!

Thank you so much, I'm so honored to have a drabble by you ❤️

I was especially excited when I saw you picked the infidelity prompt for me, because I was actually eyeing your infidelity prompt too!

Hi! I am very happy that you are in this fandom!

I firmly believe that the best source of titles of fics is song lyrics and I have a bunch of Steve/Tony playlists for inspiration at any given time. This is my current Civil War playlist: Wasn't I Good Enough? which is the only one where I, you know, bothered to find thematic cover art and arrange it vaguely in temporal order.

Also, I realize this doesn't, like, exist as a fic yet, but I have a massive outline for a massive Twilight story where Steve sees Tony in Valhalla and then goes and gets Tony out of Valhalla and brings him back to life so maybe that will happen someday. So that is sort of like your prompt. :)

OMG I can't wait to listen to your playlist!!! Thank you so much for sharing it with me! The theme comes very much in handy too with the upcoming CW exchange 😍

YESSSSS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WRITE THAT FIC!!! I'm soooo excited to read it! We need more Avengers Twilight fics in the world ❤️

Hello!

White Mercedes by Charli XCX is THE Tony trying to reject Steve song. Hands down.

Some fic recs:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/35646922

https://archiveofourown.org/works/15489513

https://archiveofourown.org/works/29692776

Let me know if you like these!

Yay, thanks for the recs!!! I listened to the song, and it's indeed so Tony! "All I know is I don't deserve you" AAAAAAAHHHHHH 😭❤️ And going as explicitly Tony as "You know I've got a suit of armour on" omg

I haven't read any of these fics, and they sound so good!! You know I love me some Fuck or Die haha! And getting turned on while talking about Fuck or Die situations??? SIGN ME THE HELL UP (And Casualties of War is always gooooood!)

Hi Val, happy stockings reveal day!

Goodness, I can't even put into words how happy I am to have met you when I did. It's already rare to meet someone from our country in fandom, and I really can't put into words how wonderful a person you are, both online and in real life as well! I'm insanely lucky to have found a friend in you.
And don't even let me get started on the way you write! I'm always in awe, you have such a way with words and how much you can detail and portray emotions in a way that goes straight to my heart and makes me feel them too. You write SteveTony in just the way they should be, sweet and devoted and hot and emotional, and don't even let me get started on the wonderful and smut you create?? To steal your own words, sometimes I just sit down after reading a paragraph of your fics and contemplate never writing again, because I feel so overwhelmed by emotions.
Not to mention you are a wonderful beta as well, so focused on the details and how you want to make everything perfect. Even if it's not a fic you wrote yourself, you still leave a piece of yourself in every piece you touch, because you live and breathe them all. I just can't help but admire that kind of dedication in you.
And then you start creating those gorgeous moodboards too, perfectly capturing the vibe of your fics? Just how versatile can one person be?? I'm completely gobsmacked.

Thank you for all the wonderful fics, your beautiful moodboards and last but certainly not least, thank you for your friendship, it means the world to me 💖

And just as a small treat, please have this short drabble too 💖

SEV OMG I'M CRYING, this message made me soooo touched 😭

I'm so happy I found you too! It's crazy that we seem to be the only people from our country in this fandom, right? How lucky that we happen to get along so well too ❤️

I'm speechless at all this praise omg, you're the sweetest!!! 😭

I really didn't expect to get anything more after your beautiful, lengthy POTS Stockings gift for me, you're spoiling me so much!!! 🥰

Hi val!! I can't believe you just joined in 2024 and this is your first stockings - it's like you've always been here. I'm very glad that you've decided to hang out so much in our server - you make it a much more fun place! I hope you're here for a while to come :) happy stockings!

Awwwww thank you so much for your kind words, and for maintaining such a lovely space where I love to hang out in ❤️

Falling down dramatically onto my knees because I didn't make the stocking deadline in time. Val, I love that you're part of this fandom and you always light up my day when you post a work for Lights on Park Ave.<3 Thanks so much for being part of the reason why I keep it going!

Some fic recs for you:
- "W.I.P.E." series by tsukinofaerii
- "Ship to Shore" by msermseth
- "Like Coming Home" by missbecky (I haven't read this in almost 10 years lol so I'm due for a reread, but I remember being very affeceted by it at the time!

And here's a song that's been stuck in my head since the end of last year that captures 616 Steve and Tony's dynamic at the height of their animosity towards each other imo: "Ma Meilleure Ennemie" by Stromae and Pomme. It destroys me every time I listen to it :'D

Awwwww thank you so much, I've been having lots of fun playing with LOPA prompts! I've been caught up in all the end/beginning of the year events lately, but I hope I'll have the opportunity to write something for LOPA again soon ❤️

I haven't read these fics yet, so thank you for the great recs!!! I just started reading the brain delete arc, so this is gonna be the perfect timing for those fics! And mserm's fic omg, feeling sooooo normal about the Pining While Fucking and Sexual Dysfunction tags afdjdgsjdh 🤩

Thank you for the song rec too, I listened to it and looked up the lyrics in English, and it's truly so stevetony!!! 😭
You're the best thing to ever happen to me
But also the worst thing to ever happen to me"
I LOVE THEM HELP

kjdlajflaja not me noticing a typo in my stocking fill. Oh well. And LoPA is there for you when you have time, and I look forward to seeing what you make if you write something again! :)

The thing about reccing old fics is that I never know if they're so big that I'm recommending stuff people would already know or if they've been pushed back a lot of pages as time passed so I'm SO EXCITED that you haven't read any of these. Pining while fucking and sexual dysfunction are like catnip to me, and idk, I kept talking about wanting to see sexual dysfunction the past few years for some reason. I'm smiling evilly because of the great timing with the brain delete arc because OHHHHH BOY, you're in for a treat with W.I.P.E. I have no idea why I did this to myself, but it was one of the first fics I ever read in this fandom and I didn't know what was happening every other line lmao. I spent half my time Googling and going down wiki rabbit holes, but hey, if you can enjoy a fic while being unfamiliar with basically almost everything that's happening and a bunch of the characters who show up, it's a sign of a good story. That and it really pulled me into 616.

AND I KNOW. THAT SONG IS SO STEVETONY.

Oh, if I may interest you, I just wrote 15k of Sexual Dysfunction for Sine's stocking, because I was obviously feeling veeeery normal about her Impotent Steve prompt too 😆
