Hi Oluka, it was such fun battling it out for Team Angst this past summer, and you create wonderful fanworks, whether quick and dirty or polished and detailed!
I don't have a book rec, but I have two comics recs that might meet your interests. One finished recently, and it's a 5-issue miniseries called Lonely Receiver, by Zac Thompson (writer) and Jen Hickman (art). It's about the degeneration of a relationship between a woman and her custom-designed "lifetime companion" AI. It's very weird and surreal, and there's kink, angst, and definitely AI and transhumanism! There will probably be a trade paperback available in the relatively near future, but I can also point you to where to read it online, if you want.
The other comic is about to begin - it's called Hollow Heart, and says it is a "queer monster love story" about an individual who used to be human, but now is "a jumble of organs in a bio-suit," and the mechanic brought in to work on the suit. I am not familiar with this writer or artist, but the premise grabbed me immediately, and I'm really excited to read it, starting with the first issue this coming week!
(In fact, that basic description sounds like it could make an amazing fusion with Steve and Tony - Steve either having "come back wrong" out of the ice, or being gravely injured, and either way, kept alive by this "suit," and of course Tony being the mechanic...)
I wish you health and finding some happy times in these difficult times, and send you Stocking Season Greetings!
