Comics Steve/Tony: 616 (special fondness for anything post-volume 3 Avengers, especially Heroic Age, post-Secret Wars, and current canon), Avengers Twilight


Other Fandoms/Ships/Characters:
616: Peter Quill/Richard Rider, Gamora/Peter Quill/Richard Rider, Peter Parker/Johnny Storm, Emma Frost/Tony Stark
MCU: Endgame-era Steve/Tony (romantic or gen), Steve & Morgan
Other Marvel: Civil Warrior
DC Comics: Batman gen (mostly Bruce & Robins or Cass), GhostBat
Umineko and the Fate/ series are forever fandoms for me, as well!

Likes:
For family stuff: fluff and happiness, “passing on the torch”, children not repeating the same mistakes their parents/parental figures made, introspection, impossibly happy dream-worlds, children growing up and realizing their parents/parental figures are flawed humans too

For friendship stuff: lots of good-natured ribbing and teasing, the more reserved characters being surprisingly open for brief moments, teaching each other new things

For shippy stuff: repression, wistfulness, denial of feelings, pining, bittersweetness, leaving things unsaid, emotional intensity, loyalty, self-sacrifice for the sake of the other person, UST, melodrama, sweetness, silly shenanigans, banter.

Prompts (all 616):

Identity porn-ish: Steve’s rogues gallery keep kidnapping Tony Stark, b/millionaire industrialist, because he’s dating Captain America. Weirdly enough, Captain America is not too worried about his poor civilian boyfriend getting kidnapped

Social Media/Fandom story about Captain America/Iron Man RPF, otherwise known as CapIron – set during any canon era

Based on the Captain America/Iron Man (2021) mini-series – Steve/Tony fucking in Tony’s brownstone. Additionally, Steve and/or Tony being wistful after the events of Duggan’s Invincible Iron Man #1 after the brownstone gets exploded because it was the place they got together ;_;

Bad/Emotionally unavailable dad Steve (with Ian Rogers or a kid OC of your choice)

Your take on whether Steve cries before, during, or after sex

Tony’s feelings for Steve get inadvertently revealed to Steve without Tony’s knowledge or consent (truth serum -> convenient memory wipe? Tony confessing to Steve in a dream when he doesn’t realize that it’s the real Steve? Etc.) How does Steve react/keep up the status quo/take the next step?

Steal the BARF technology from MCU – I want to see Steve and/or Tony using it to relive moments/arguments with each other

I am always a sucker for “character in the most terrible time in their lives falls asleep and wakes up in a happy time/alternate happy universe/dream world/etc. When they fall asleep in the AU world, they wake up back in their horrible life.” Steve or Tony :)

Steve getting jealous of Emma/Tony :) or jealous!Steve in general

Steve and Tony are in the middle of one of their big fall-outs (think CW or Hickmanvengers level) but also have been in an ongoing D/s relationship, and realize they can't reach sexual fulfillment without the other. Cue secret, illicit, messy (in more ways than one) meetings. I have no preference for who is the dom or sub in this situation.

Steve trying to find excuses to initiate hug-and-flys with Tony (especially if he's jealous that other people are getting to ride with Tony)

Tony changes his facial hair and Steve can't stop staring (up to you whether it's because he misses the old style or likes the new one so much!)

I adore any epistolary-style work <3

old!SteveTony who are retired or thinking about it (or only Tony is retired and Steve's still Cap)

Time dilation

Hanahaki but AFTER a big fall-out and Steve/Tony are good friends again (ex. Heroic Age, post-Hickmanvengers, or for this one I'd be happy with an MCU post-Endgame)

You know those narration boxes in comics where the characters talk in first-person? When Tony has Extremis, his narration boxes actually get saved as data. After the brain delete, either Tony and/or Steve recover all the Extremis data, including all of Tony's inner monologue of the time.

Finally, various tropes that I enjoy in general: wingfic, fake relationship, time travel, groundhog day, multiverse shenanigans, canon-divergence AUs, identity porn, Capwolf (this includes monsterfucking), royalty/knight AUs, childhood friend AUs.


Dislikes: Rape/non-con, infidelity, humiliation/embarrassment, pregnancy. Steve/Tony-specific: Tony’s daddy issues, mismatched Steve/Tonys as endgame pairing (ex. MCU!Steve/616!Tony, etc.)


Non-fandom related requests/anything else?:
Cute animals (especially partial to penguins, cats, and dogs) but I really do love all creatures.
“Problematic”/dark trans & lesbian/WLW book recs, mostly partial to SFF., or video game recs (can be VNs or with gameplay). For video game recs, I'm down for thematically queer-coded in addition to explicitly queer works too. I can do anything that's available on Steam/PC.
Funny shorts/TikToks
Your favorite quotes/poetry/short pieces on writing, or romantic quotes that give you OTP feelings.
Links to fanart or nice graphics for any of my fandoms!
I also would love nice comments if you don’t have anything in particular to rec or leave!

Hi magic! I made you an early canon “Tony and identity issues” collage, adjacent to your “identity porn” prompt.

[magicasen]

AAAA NAOMI I LOVE MY HANDSOME DAPPER ANGSTY MAN <3!! I'm dying at the low-battery heart a;dlfkjadsd;lfkas; thank you so much!!

[mobiusonajetski]

I wrote you a story about pre-internet CapIron helping Tony and Steve get together: No Smoke Without Fire.

Hope it makes you smile!

[magicasen]

AHHHHHHHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH IT MADE ME SO HAPPY :'DDDDD

Hi Magic,
Happy Stockings! First of all, thank you so much for modding this event every year! This is such a sweet tradition that really brings the community together! Thank you also for being such a considerate mod and giving us all the extensions, I definitely needed them!

As I haven't had the pleasure of reading fics by you before, I took this opportunity to read your two most recent works, and loved them so much! They were different genres and universes, so I feel like I got a glimpse into your range. I will be leaving my more detailed comments for you on reveals day as a little treat ❤️

Unfortunately, I don't have pets of my own, but my grandparents had these cuties, so please enjoy some photos of them!

[magicasen]

Thank YOU for participating in stockings! I love running them and having a chance to love on all our cool server members <3 Wehhh, that's so sweet you read some of my fics! I really miss writing as much so it was definitely a nice little boost to see the comments on some stories I'd kind of forgotten. YOUR GRANDPARENTS' PETS ARE ADORABLE...the lil belly ;w; thank you so much for sharing! See you around the server ;)

Hi Magic! <3

[tinystark616]

Happy stockings day!

Thank you for making this event possible, it's one of my favorite fandom events and I'm so happy it exists!!

You said you like cute animals and I know you like cats, so I'll share cat pics with you! Here are a few of my favorite pics of my babies:

Felix:


Thorin:


Margot:


And Margot again -- I took this one just a few days ago, haha



I also made you a moodboard!! You said you like 'emotional intensity' and I thought, what's more emotionally intense than putting your own life in danger to save the love of your life? So I made you a Red Zone moodboard.



I hope you like these! <3 Oh, and I'll also leave a couple of comments on your fics on reveals day as a little stockings surprise! <3

Have a great week! <333

Re: Hi Magic! <3

[magicasen]

I'm glad you like the event, I also love running it

SO MANY BEAUTIFUL TUX CATS!!! EEEE!!!!!! Margot has the most striking eyes!

AND YES, RED ZONE HEHEHEHEH I actually have a painting of it on my shelf! That's how much I love the emotional intensity of it. The moodboard is excellent, I love the quote surrounded by Tony being Dramatic. It looks kind of epitaph-like....oh Tony, he loves Steve so much ;;;

Also, thank you for the sweet comments - it was such a nice little boost to my day to see them!

[msermesth]

Happy stockings and thanks for everything you do to make fandom happen. I wrote a little thing for you here.

[magicasen]

omg that was beautiful, thank you so much!

Fic gift

[capneverever]

Hi magicasen -- wrote a fic for you. Hope you like it. -- https://archiveofourown.org/works/63314815

Thank you for all that you do for fanwork and your general awesomeness.

Re: Fic gift

[magicasen]

Thank YOU for being such a pillar of fandom and in general being an amazing person!! The fic was lovely, I left a longer comment on AO3 :)

[nostalgicatsea]

Hiiii, magic! Grateful for another year of friendship and another year of yelling about Steve and Tony in DMs hehe.<3

This isn't "problematic" or dark per se, but it does deal with heavy topics and the way that the writer decides to figure out her sexuality is somewhat unconventional, at least for women, so it might be of interest to you: My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness by Nagata Kabi. It's a graphic memoir and it's a fast read!

Now some videos for you!

- I love this video of a grandma who's a tsundere about her cat

- Flatbread cat

- This isn't uproariously funny, but I was amused by the bit and how it all came together at the end

- The world would be a better place if everyone found it as easy to be happy as this dog is over the smallest thing

- Lighting a cabbage butt on fire

- I was always curious what would happen if you freeze your hair like this and have had the same impulse to experiment like this guy did. And now I know what happens, thanks to him

- MCU Tony if he was a baseball player

- little kitties watching the rain 🥺

[magicasen]

Hi sea!!

Thank you for the book rec, it sounds really interesting!

TSUNDERE GRANDMA IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE VIDEOS ON THE INTERNET!! I haven't seen any of the other videos (ok, not true, I've seen that baseball gif a lot) and they were all so funny! I want to simultaneously be all those dogs and cats at the same time.

Thank you for all the mood-lifting links and thanks for being such a cool friend. I know I can always count on you whenever I feel the fangirl urge to scream about the OTPs hehehe

[sineala]

Hi, magic! I am so happy to have known you for so long in fandom; you were really one of the very first people I met in this fandom, and honestly I am still so glad to be here with you!

I am sorry I did not get my brain together enough for actual fills (I started the stockings list in alphabetical order lol) but maybe this year will be the year I find my writing brain again.

However, I saw the words "cute animals" and "poetry" and I feel I must rec to you my favorite poem about cute animals, Unit of Measure by Sandra Beasley. This is probably not the kind of thing you were thinking of. :D

[magicasen]

I am so glad you made me aware that poem exists. Were that we could all be compared to the capybara <3

I always enjoy doing our yearly stocking tradition of "oh my god I can't believe we met so long ago and we're still here!!" Thank you for being one of the absolute best parts of this whole fandom experience <3

[kiyaar]

magic!!!!

thank you for being fucking amazing. I am so grateful for the literal years of friendship and comodship with you! thank you for singlehandedly making this event run and for everything you do for us in shaping our stevetony fandom space! love to trade a salty opinion with you and yell about comics. I have some plans for steve being jealous of emma/tony but you're getting penguins rn. only THE BEST VIBES for you and kumo in 2025.

[magicasen]

Ki, thank you for being one of the coolest people in this internet/on the fandom. I'm so happy that gay superheroes brought us together and have kept us here in their clutches. Jealous!Steve is best Steve <3

ALSO SOOO MANY PENGUINS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH the baby emperor penguins especially always make me cry. They are so cute. Thank you for sharing!!

[winterdreamsx]

Hi, Magic! Thanks for being a great mod, and making sure no stocking gets left behind. I was so glad I was already working on something for you, but I really did not expect it to grow quite as large as it did, hence me finishing it just in time before I go to bed!

Anyway, hope you enjoy my fill for: Steve and Tony are in the middle of one of their big fall-outs (think CW or Hickmanvengers level) but also have been in an ongoing D/s relationship, and realize they can't reach sexual fulfillment without the other. Cue secret, illicit, messy (in more ways than one) meetings. I have no preference for who is the dom or sub in this situation.

I was so instantly inspired, and immediately thought CW, and I just had to write it. So I hope you enjoy this <333

[magicasen]

OMFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG THIS IS AMAZING AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Thank you for participating! I will leave an extra squeeful comment on AO3!

[seventinel]

Hi Magic, happy stockings reveal day!

Thank you for all the work you do on the server, and especially with this event, making sure everyone is included. You're truly an amazing person and we're very lucky to have you!

As a small gift, I wrote you this short drabble to try and figure out if Steve cries before, during, or after sex 💖

[magicasen]

Thank you so much for being an awesome server member, I'm just glad we all get to make each other happy with the event, and it seems like it worked!

[massivespacewren]

Here's a little edited treat, since the world needs more royalty/knight AUs! I hope you like it <3
Thank you so much for taking care of so much of the stocking organizing!

[magicasen]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY FAVE AU! Their expressions are so tender and lovely, and the HAND-HOLDING! Thank you so much Wren ;w; I absolutely adore it!

[massivespacewren]
