Oh goodness.

So I've been away for ages. I didn't mean to be but I keep getting these bouts of Maturity and Focus On ActualFact Work and absurd things like that.

And then I watched Captain America for the first time.

So, yeah....long story short: I have spent all day squeeing, falling out of my chair giggling, and reading fanfic. Not in that order.

If there's anyone (a) still reading this journal and (b) also invested in the promise of Steve/Tony that only fandom (let's be semi-honest with ourselves here) can provide--can I has recs pls? I will totally make this worth your while. How about this--if you give me a rec, I'll write you a drabble? (Yes, folks, she is that desperate.) Any drabble.

Also, I'm thinking I might do a yuletide drabble thing again. I'm a bit rusty on the fic-skillz and will obviously be needing them in the near future, what with another Sherlock Holmes, Avengers, and This Means War looming in the near-to-distant-not-near-enough-dammit future. What thinkst thou, fair interwebs?

ANYTHING Marvel-related by [livejournal.com profile] postcardmystery. She does Steve/Tony and Steve/Bucky and Steve/Pepper/Tony/Bucky and basically WOW. :D

Welcome to the madness that is the Avengers fandom! I can totally provide recs. :D

First of all, here is Tony serenading Steve (http://archiveofourown.org/works/270002), some truly wonderful h/c (http://alchemyalice.livejournal.com/37699.html), and Steve respectfully asking Tony out on a date (http://capkink.livejournal.com/810.html?thread=126506).

You should also definitely read ready, fire, aim (http://gyzym.livejournal.com/105050.html) and its sequel (http://gyzym.livejournal.com/106240.html), which I haven't had time to read yet but am eagerly looking forward to. Also this comic (http://ironfries.tumblr.com/post/11200437953/this-is-titled-steve-is-secretly-a-sneaky) is precious.

Oh, and although these are not quite Steve/Tony, this fic about Steve and Loki as phone buddies (http://norsekink.livejournal.com/3231.html?thread=4875679) and this one in which Thor acquires a lot of animals and tries to ride them (http://mochisquish.tumblr.com/post/11886879422/thor-acquires-a-lot-of-animals-and-tries-to-ride-them) are both super awesome.

Have fun! :D

And I'm contemplating Yuletide, as well. It all depends on how much time I have... oy.

You could try Pinboard's /popular/fandom page, I've seen a ton of Captain America fic there.

Still haven't seen the movie, but couldn't resist hunting out some fic. Here are two I really enjoyed:
Start as you mean to go on (http://archiveofourown.org/works/235257) and Some assembly required (http://archiveofourown.org/works/89825)

I have (http://amuly.livejournal.com/120988.html) been (http://amuly.livejournal.com/120272.html) writing (http://amuly.livejournal.com/119883.html) Steve/Tony (http://avengerkink.livejournal.com/1854.html?thread=457022#t457022) fic XD

Okay, so [livejournal.com profile] avengerkink is the good kinkmeme right now.


And I did a reclist here (http://avengers-2k.livejournal.com/892.html?thread=6780#t6780) of a ton of the best long-fic in the comm right now: some of the legendary stuff, you know.

Happy reading!!!!!!!!

You could check out my Steve/Tony tag on pinboard:
https://pinboard.in/u:jenna_marianne/t:Pairing:Steve%252fTony/

valtyr on AO3 and [livejournal.com profile] gyzym have both written some really good stuff.

IDK, like jedusaur said, the pairing is really popular on pinboard right now; here's the global Steve/Tony tag: https://pinboard.in/t:Pairing:Steve%252fTony/

ETA: sorry, that was super vague.
Tomorrow Belongs To Me by valtyr is fun

Most of these are in the Marvel verses rather than the movie verse, which is not surprising since the Avengers movie isn't out yet. :)

Mr. July (http://jibrailis.livejournal.com/97556.html#cutid1)
Tony is the only one who can protect Steve's virtue. Tony hates his life. (One prays Jibrailis writes more in this fandom! :D)

What tomorrow may bring (http://kijikun.slashcity.com/loveyatomorrow.htm)
Months after his return back to life, Captain America and Iron Man are kind of estranged, but problems with SHIELD and Tony's life in general get them to work together and fall in love. (Lotsa fighting and running around yaaaay)

Look here, look back, look ahead (http://archiveofourown.org/works/160223)
Set in 1941. The one where Tony knew Steve before he was Captain America, and thinks he went to war and died.

Conjugate (http://kijikun.slashcity.com/Conjugate.htm)
The New Avengers get their powers switched around. Peter sniffs people. Steve sticks to things. Logan lies around and drinks beer. In a surprising twist, Steve and Tony make out. (Valtyr writes a lot, but I don't think this one can be found on her AO3 account strangely. There's an odd part where it looks like the fic is missing a scene, but otherwise...plot + hot sex, yaaay.)

And now, I will gift upon you the most dangerous gift of all: A GOOGLEDOCS STEVE/TONY RECS MASTERLIST (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TYuLmN5Nvl3bAD051c5FFndhzeecQTU3meppXoqNzws/preview?hl=en_US&pli=1&sle=true)
So many fics, so little time. I'm just starting on this list so I don't know how awesome the fics are, but I have high hopes.

The Steve/Tony tag (http://aliassmith.livejournal.com/tag/steve%2Ftony) on my journal has about 6 posts worth of recs as well as a whole bunch of picspams.

Honey, I Can See The Stars (http://archiveofourown.org/works/263039) by Twentysomething is a good place to start :D
