Comics Steve/Tony: 616 (I like all canons, but I especially like early canon. Also, if you wanna write about Kooky Quartet era where the Avengers consist of Steve and three reformed villains who ALL HAVE A CRUSH on Steve (who does not reciprocate their crush, possibly because he himself is crushing on Mr Tony Stark; shenanigans ensue) THEN BY ALL MEANS GO AHEAD), Ults (<<<- I love a grumpy-but-soft Ults, yall. Bonus points if you manage to incorporate side characters.)
Other Fandoms/Ships/Characters:

-Avengers: EMH (Stony, Bruce/Clint, Jan/Hank)

-Matt Murdock/Foggy Nelson (comics-verse, PLZ, I LOVE THEM)

-RWBY (anything to do with team JNPR, I love them and I want more content for them)

-Umbrella Academy (I want to read all about the Hargreeves' messed up family dynamics, but I also want them to have a strong bond with each other. Basically, I want them to have kind of a "I can make fun of you, but no one else can" attitude. MUST INCLUDE VANYA! Ben is optional. Preferably platonic; I don't mind having any canon ships, as long as they don't distract from the main family.)

-Jan Van Dyne/Wanda Maximoff (Ultimates)

-Squirrel Girl (powers of squirrel, powers of girl!!! Preferably platonic, and if you can include Iron Dad, I would love you, like, a whole lot.)

-Unstoppable Wasp (definitely platonic. I want whole series written about Nadia's relationships with Jan, Jarvis, Tony, and her friends.)

-Carmen Sandiego Netflix Series (I love a girl and her ninja assassin dad. I also love a BAMF Argent, and a plz-take-a-chill-pill Devineaux. I also like Carmen/Gram. Found family tropes ahoy. Go wild.)

Likes: fluff, competence kink, soft cuddles, mutual pining(!!!), found family/Avengers as family, shenanigans, Iron Dad!!!!, Cap Dad is also pretty swell, basically if Tony and Steve are just The Dads even when they aren't dating I just love that, soft touching, queer A/B/O verse (ex: alpha/alpha OR omega/omega), SOMFT THINGS, yes I want a fleece blanket in fic form plz and ty, cute tropes (I won't apologize and I don't accept con crit), kid fic, angst with happy endings, if you wanna write Stony as divorced husbands who end up fixing their marriage by the end PLZ DON'T LET ME STOP YOU, all the Christmas tropes, I'm talking family dinners, making enough turkey to feed three armies (or one Avengers team), presents, charoling, mistletoe, and also FAKE. FRIGGIN. DATING!!

I would love any type of fandom creation, be it playlist, fanvid, or interperative dance. You're amazing and your creations are amazing.

Dislikes: Unhappy endings are :( and you don't want me to make that face, do you???, permanent major character death, graphic torture, underage, mpreg, infidelity, explicit sex, beak ups (I only want the opposite of those, lol).

Non-fandom related requests/anything else?:

-History documentaries. I'm especially interested in anything to do with Russian or Arab history, but I love other stuff as well.

-Your favorite recipes. I'll eat anything except pork or alcohol.

-I! Love! Playlists!! Fandom or otherwise.

-Podcast recs. I'd like to listen to stuff while knitting XD

-Your favorite knitting patterns for scarves and/or shawls.

-What was some of your favorite music this year?? I love discovering new songs.

-Pet pics!!!! I love animals in general, and cats and dogs, but I really, really love horses. Do with this what you will.

- april may (spring songs; yearning and bright)

Aaaaaand if you want podcasts, well. I listen to a TON of podcasts. I'm not sure exactly what kind of thing you're looking for so I'll go ahead and provide a variety :D
Narrative fiction:
- Caravan: Caravan is an ongoing series BUT!!! It's so cute! Romance! Supernatural shenanigans! Accidental possession! Seeeexy vampires! Forced-together-by-evil-demons-so-now-we're-friends! Plus everyone's queer af.
- Wolf 359: A complete series! What happens when you put a slacker loser, an uptight commander, a mad scientist, and an AI with a lot of personality on a tiiiiiny space station, far, far away from any other human life. (Note: far from human life.) I literally laughed out loud on the subway listening to this podcast multiple times.

History:
- This Podcast Will Kill You: Two disease ecologists talk about medical history as well as how we treat disease today. The hosts are obviously friends, and their genuine interest in bacteriological evolution is incredibly endearing. Plus, they actually do engage with the fact that the same kinds of medical care aren't being offered everywhere in the world. Yay Drs. Erin!
- Revolutions: Several muuuuultipart series on different revolutions throughout history. The current series is about the Russian revolution -- 25 episodes so far. Previous series have covered revolutions in Spain, Haiti, France, and Mexico, among others.

Mini-Series:
- Moonrise: The backstory of how people made it to the moon. The moon!!! It does spend a nonzero amount of time talking about the complex ways Nazi scientists played into the feat (bad) but also has a, like, several episode long through-thread about the golden age of science fiction (hilarious!). Overall super charming and interesting!
- Articles of Interest: Fashion history oh boy!! Pockets, children's clothes, Hawaiian shirts, and the rise of casual wear. What more could you want??

If you want more podcast recs/have a more specific thing you're looking for, hmu any time <3 Happy winter :D

Hi Mug! I... Am not good at fluff so I ended up writing something that's maybe sadder than you'd like and if so, I'm sorry! It's some Klaus and Vanya bonding h/c.

-

Being woken up in the middle of the night is nothing new. Mission alarms or drills have been a regular part of their lives a far back as Vanya can remember and she is always expected to get up and join everyone, if only to stand at their father's side.

There's no alarm tonight, but Vanya is a light sleeper. Woken by the creek of the loose floorboards outside her room, the shuffling of feet, a voice muttering too low to make out the words.

Klaus is sneaking out again.

She feels a little guilty for noticing. If he doesn't show up at breakfast tomorrow, she knows she'll tell their father about this. They've all done it on occasion snuck out, or sold someone else out for it, in the hope of gaining their father's approval. Still, Klaus sneaks out all the time and she wishes he'd get better at the sneaking part of it.

He'll stumble in at breakfast still half drunk and their father won't even notice as long as he takes his seat and doesn't speak. It's the mornings he doesn't show up that puts their father in a foul mood.

Tonight though, she needn't worry. Klaus stops at her door. She hears it creak as he leans against it and the sound of sniffling and heavy breathing. Vanya waits for a moment, but Klaus doesn't leave and doesn't knock. She switches her lamp on and shuffles to the door.

He jolts when she opens it. Dazed, she thinks, like he might be high already, but he stands in yesterday's clothes, his makeup smudged and hair messy, like he's done nothing since last night's mission.

'What are you doing, Klaus?' She ask.

He looks at her, studying her face like you would a painting. He is silent, but not defiantly, as he often is with their father these days.

He looks ill, she thinks, but that's not unusual for him lately. Since their teenage years began, he has become gradually more gaunt, more sallow in complexion, more hidden behind those layers of makeup.

She wants to hug him, but that's not something they do in this family, and she's not brave enough to challenge that dynamic.

'Klaus? Are you okay?'

'She looks like you,' he says, staring into her face like he's never seen her before. Maybe he hasn't, not like he looks at her now. She doesn't think anyone has ever looked at her like Klaus is now; like he needs her, like she's important

'Klaus? What's going on?'

He holds a hand up, just above knee level. 'Just like you. When you were this big.'

'Who?' She knows the answer. She's never liked to think about it much and that's easy because he's never liked to talk about it much either.

'She won't stop crying.' His voice is strained and she thinks the girl has probably not been crying alone.

He reaches out, slowly, like he expects her to draw away, or to disappear. His hand comes to rest on her cheek and he breathes a slow sigh. A painful release of something she might never truly understand.

'I'm fine, Klaus. I promise. I'm here and I'm fine.' She takes his hand and leads him to her bed, where they sit in silence.

Klaus does let's go of her hand the whole night and Vanya doesn't try to make him.

At wake up call the next morning, Klaus let's go of her hand, smiles in a way that is both more strained and more genuine than anything she's ever seen from him before.

She sits next to him at breakfast from then on, but they never speak of that night again.

Notes: Happy fandom stocking, Big Mugs! I hope you enjoy these dummies fake dating at a fancy Christmas party. <3

Tony panicked for one second. That’s why he’s currently in this disaster. Sunset had been pushing at him, plucking at his weak spots, and he’d been feeling particularly alone and wistful, and he’d gotten the wires labeled “babble for time in front of Sunset Bain” and “guilty romantic fantasies,” crossed in his head.

Now he needs to ask Steve for a spectacularly embarrassing favor.

Steve is installed, cross-legged, on the living room floor next to the coffee table. It’s two weeks before Christmas and as usual Steve is determined to dress the tree properly. Spread in front of him are bowls of cloves, swags of gold-trimmed satin ribbon, and a mesh bag full of oranges.

He’s already made at least a hundred yards of cranberry and popcorn garland, and is now on to pomanders. While Tony procrastinates in the doorway, Steve wraps an orange in ribbon, then runs a chunky needle threaded with twine through the center of the fruit to make a loop for hanging. He turns the trussed-up orange in his big hands and presses cloves through the rind with an artist’s precise eye for distance and alignment.

“You know,” Tony says, tearing his attention away from Steve’s capable hands and entering the living room properly, “I was going to make tiny animatronic doves that sing Greensleeves, but this is pretty good too.”

Steve looks up at him and his face breaks into a smile that makes his entire face glow. Tony’s heart flutters, even though he knows Steve looks at everyone like that. Steve’s face is an open window into the bright core of goodness inside him. Even though it’s not special, not for him, Tony still wants to kiss that smile onto his face every night, wants to wake up and meet Steve’s gaze next to him in bed and see his eyes light up with love.

Down, boy, Tony thinks sternly. Now is not the time to be a besotted idiot.

Steve would never stoop to date Tony. Tony spent an agonizing six months hoping after learning that Steve wasn’t actually straight — the thing between Steve and Batroc the Leaper apparently ran hotter than typical hero-vs-villain banter — but eventually Tony had come to his stupid lovestruck senses, and realized that just because Steve was attracted to men didn’t mean he was attracted to Tony. Sure, Tony Stark is New York’s most eligible bachelor, but Steve knows the real Tony: messed up, alcoholic Tony who never feels strong unless he’s wrapped himself in steel.

“I’d love to see your robot birds,” Steve says warmly. “They’ll look nice with all the tinsel.”

Steve loves tinsel. The little silver strands get everywhere, but Tony can’t help but indulge Steve. Thor, a walking generator of static electricity, gets covered in the stuff and leaves tangles like metallic hair in the showers.

Now Tony has to make a few dozen lifelike, singing robot-doves before Christmas, because he wants Steve to look at his creations the way he looks at a tinsel-drenched tree, misty-eyed and happily sentimental.

Tony is not sentimental about his childhood Christmases. He’ll settle for basking in Steve’s nostalgia.

“Sit on down, come help me pincushion these poor oranges,” Steve says, patting the carpet next to him.

“My spine is not made of the same stuff yours is.”

Steve snorts. “Pretty sure mine is bone just like everyone else’s.”

“Incorrect,” Tony says. “Your spine is made of an amazing super-bendy-yet-load-bearing polymer that science has been unable to replicate so far. My back is made out of dry spaghetti and dust bunnies.”

Really, Tony is temporizing because sitting next to Steve on the floor, able to smell his aftershave, close enough to sneak a brush against his shoulder, is possibly the worst position for Tony to ask this favor from. Curse his stupid, stupid mouth.

Now it’s going to be awkward if he doesn’t sit.

“You could sit in my lap if that’s more comfortable. I’ve heard I make an excellent, if rather firm, cushion,” Steve jokes, patting one thigh. His cheeks go pink for some reason.

Tony considers taking Steve up on that option for exactly one self-indulgent nanosecond, then gets grabs both his heart and his libido by the scruff of the neck and hurls them out the window.

“It’s alright, I’ll take the floor and hope for a Christmas miracle to keep me away from the chiropractor,” Tony says quickly.

Steve hands Tony an orange to decorate. The smell of orange and cloves soaks into Tony’s hands, heady and festive. When these are all hung on the two-story silver fir in the foyer, the entire grand staircase will smell just like this.

Okay. Tony can do this. Just ask him.

“I need you to be my date for the Christmas Gala at the Rockefeller,” Tony says.

Don’t ask him like that!

“Not a real date,” Tony adds, and Steve sags with what Tony is certain is relief. “Sunset Bain was angling to be my plus one, and I had to think fast. I told her I was already going with you.”

What Tony had actually said was, “I’m in a relationship, I’m afraid,” which had made Sunset more interested, not less.

She’d pressed and pressed on who the lucky lady was, and Tony had realized that whoever he named would have all of Baintronics dropped on their head. And he couldn’t think of anyone who could handle that, and he’d been thinking about Steve, Steve cowing Sunset with a single look and a brusque speech about boundaries, and for one shining moment of idiocy Steve seemed like the perfect solution.

“Steve Rogers — he’s an artist,” Tony said. A small, reasonable portion of his mind screamed bad idea bad idea bad idea! even as his mouth formed the words. “You wouldn’t know of him.”

Sunset’s mouth had curled into a faux-sympathetic moue. Tony hated when that was how people reacted to the bisexual thing, it was like they thought he’d been afflicted with a terrible, incurable disease and wanted to be gentle about it. “Oh, I do see why you’ve kept it a secret. But at the gala? You certain you don’t want some cover?”

“No,” Tony’d said icily. He certainly wasn’t going to take Sunset as a beard. “Steve and I will be attending together.”

And with those thoughtless words, Tony landed himself in his current, terrible situation.

Tony has to make Steve agree somehow.

Steve fiddles with his clove-studded orange, twisting one of the dark brown buds until it’s too loose to stay in place. He sighs and sifts through the loose cloves, looking for one with a bigger stem, not quite looking at Tony. There’s color high in his cheeks. Tony has embarrassed Captain America: a new achievement for his collection.

Steve is going to say no, and Tony is going to be in hot water. Maybe he can get some other guy to come with him. Put an ad out in the paper for guys named Steve Rogers. New York is a big place — there have to be at least a few gay Steves who’ll jump at the chance to attend a fancy holiday party.

“If you want me, I’ll be there,” Steve says quietly.

Oh shit.

Tony wasn’t prepared for this eventuality either!

“It’d mean you’d have to come out,” Tony says, backtracking with a wince. “I can’t pressure you into -- that’s not fair of me, I’m sorry, I’ll find another excuse.”

Steve shrugs, then ties a perfect Tiffany bow at the top of his finished pomander. “If I go as Steve Rogers I’m just some guy. I’d be worried about yourself if I were you. You’re Tony Stark.”

“Everyone suspects anyway,” Tony says. Thank you, Ty, for that lovely nudge out of the closet, Tony totally appreciates it. “I’m just saying, it’s a lot just to fix a dumb mistake I made.”

“But it’ll help you?” Steve asks.

“Yes,” Tony replies, even as he knows this is going to break his fragile, smitten heart. Steve, on his arm, coming up with some sweet story of how they met, having to pretend to Steve afterwards that it had all been an act on Tony’s part as well, cock-blocked Tantalus hoist on his own petard.

“Then I’ll do it,” Steve says. “Anything for -- for a friend.”

And that’s all it is: friends. Tony is going to hide every single one of his feelings, put on his playboy persona, and get through this as unscathed as possible.

I’m doomed.

When they arrive at the holiday gala, Tony expects the ambush of lurking photographers outside, but not the elegant rescue by New York’s gay elite. They close ranks around him and Steve, gracious, friendly, and impenetrable. He had been expecting to come out alone, Tony realizes. These people won’t let that happen. They’ve been waiting for him to join them.

“Edie!” Tony says, delighted, when she bustles up. He bends to exchange air kisses.

“Took you long enough,” Edie says, then chuckles and pats Tony on both shoulders. “Good. You look happy.”

“I am,” Tony says. “Steve, this is Edie Windsor, the best of the little old lesbians.”

They enter the ballroom in a swirl of introductions and brightly-colored dresses.

Inside, the Rockefeller is decorated in gold, cream and burgundy. Tony watches Steve spin around, taking in the grand foyer and sparkling cut-crystal chandeliers. Steve’s been to all sorts of fundraisers and high-society events, but usually as Cap, not Steve. Cap doesn’t get to be delighted by beautiful things.

There’s a towering croquembouche serving as the centerpiece of the refreshments table, cream puffs stacked six feet high, glazed in caramel and dusted with powdered sugar. The theme of tonight’s menu seems to be French patisserie, evidenced by flaky pastry and custard on every plate.

It’s exactly like every other charity dinner, except it’s nothing like them, because Steve is at his elbow the entire time, charming people and doing embarrassing things like pulling Tony’s chair out for him.

Playboy, Tony reminds himself. Tony Stark found someone beautiful to be on his arm for a night, like he always does. You’re indulging an infatuation. Steve isn’t anything to you but proof you can have anyone.

Tony pats Steve’s arm and tries to appear breezy and maybe a little bit condescending. Steve Rogers is a handsome dalliance, nobody special, just up-and-coming artist who’s never seen luxury like this.

Steve quirks an eyebrow at him, silently asking, why are you being weird?

Tony folds immediately, flashing Steve his real grin and bumping up against his shoulder, like they’re playing Risk at the mansion coffee table and there isn’t space on the couch for two superheroes to sit without touching.

His plan to keep things casual hasn’t survived even brief contact with the enemy. It’s a familiar feeling, but usually the adversary is the Melter or something, not his own emotions.

Tony realizes about halfway through dinner that he hasn’t been offered alcohol once all night. Steve’s been deflecting it for him, so skillfully that Tony didn’t even notice. He just didn’t have to think about it for an entire cocktail hour. He’d never had a date do that for him so well. He glances at Steve, who is chatting happily with his neighbor at the table, about the intersection between modern art and technology. Steve makes an insightful point about machine learning, and Tony wonders where he picked up an interest in that.

Then he remembers a rainy afternoon curled up in the library with his laptop while Steve read the latest Octavia Butler collection nearby. The suit’s auto-targeting system was being buggy, and Tony had been mumbling at his code without really noticing that he was doing it until Steve asked a question.

“So how does your suit know who’s an AIM soldier and who’s an Avenger?”

Tony had jumped a bit, then apologized for being distracting, then discovered that Steve’s question was a genuine one.

“It’s a combination of computer vision and me manually picking out targets. Ideally every time I shoot at something it adds that to the database of what’s an enemy and then extrapolates from there, but we’ve been fighting a lot of AIM beekeepers lately and the suit has decided that it hates everything yellow.”

Steve laughed. “After punching enough of those guys, I start hating yellow too.”

“Who wouldn’t? But I’d still like the AI to stop putting crosshairs on every fire hydrant and yield sign.”

Steve asked how he was going to fix that, so Tony had kept up a steady chatter as he went back to coding, assuming that Steve had tuned him out after a few minutes. But he hadn’t -- Steve is still talking about it, stuff Tony only half-remembers saying aloud, as if he’s actually interested in this stuff.

Steve turns and catches Tony staring. He smiles, and for a moment that’s all there is in the world; Steve’s smile is like the sun on Tony’s face as he lifts the faceplate after a long, dim flight.

“Where’d you learn all this?” asks the man beside Steve.

“Tony,” Steve says. “He’s an inspiration to me, every day of my life.”

Tony blushes. Laying it on a little thick, Steve. It almost sounds real, when Steve says things like that.

Steve’s just so damn handsome in his suit. Tony wants to peel it off of him and kiss him all over. It’s bad enough that Steve is wearing clothes that Tony helped him pick out -- balancing elegance and Steve’s cover as an artist. They’d picked a slightly retro cut for Steve with a truly lovely camel overcoat and fawn driving gloves. Tony hadn’t told Steve how much any of it had cost, shuffling him out of the cedar-scented tailor’s shop before any of the delicate dance around credit cards and prices.

After dinner there’s a few speeches, and then more mingling and dancing while a band plays jazzy Christmas tunes.

Tony doesn’t intend to dance with Steve. He knows that’s an express train to hopeless yearning. Steve is good at dancing. Tony’s had lessons since he was old enough to put on his own shoes, but nobody can measure up to Steve’s natural grace.

But then Tony catches sight of Sunset across the room, and he’s not up for exes. Not when tonight has gone so well so far.

“Care to dance with me?” Tony asks, offering a hand.

Happy New Year, Nigmuff!

I thought you might like this picture I took of you and Cake at the party... things were getting pretty wild, weren't they! :D

http://www.dm-gremlin.com/stuff/imagespace/200106-mugcake-edit.jpg

(Actually, I got a piece of cheesecake from the Mexican bakery up the street, and sat down with that and tea, and realized I had mug and cake, and had to take a snapshot. The mug is my Crazy Bird Lady mug that a friend from one of my Facebook bird groups sent me for a Secret Santa gift a couple of years ago, and I use it all the time. :D )

And then I saw in your stocking that you especially love horses!

http://www.dm-gremlin.com/stuff/imagespace/200106-framed-Oreo.jpg

I grew up a horse-crazy little girl who was lucky enough to get to take riding lessons, then teach riding lessons, then eventually have my own horse for a few years. I had to sell her when I moved away to go to music school, though. Her name was Oreo (Double C's Oreo), and she was a registered Appaloosa mare, who by a serious coincidence, was the daughter of the horse I learned to ride on, a sweet red roan Appy named Trinket. Orry was full of sass and a lot of fun. I have way better photos of her, but they're packed away right now, and this one is the only one I had within reach - a picture someone framed for me, so I took a photo of the framed photo for you! Definitely not the best picture of her, with her ears all down like this, but at the same time, it's very much her sulky, side-eye expression. So I thought I would share a little bit of horsey with you.

:greenhearts: and :cheertacles:

please enjoy this tony and doreen, just havin' fun, hanging out

Since you mention you like Podcasts, I wonder if you've ever heard of this one:

Welcome To Night Vale

It's offbeat and it gets to be pretty fun and dramatic. And if you get into it, there is wonderful fic to be read, too.

If that's not to your taste, then there are these photos of beautiful horses running free:

Gorgeous, aren't they? :-)

Or in case you haven't seen this art of Steve & Tony from 1872 before, this is beautiful too!
