When the Avengers discover Captain America in the Arctic sea, they find more than just a new team member: Tony Stark discovers his fated mate. The problem is, Steve Rogers is a man out of his own time and apparently straight, and Tony's not about to force anything on the man he loves--even if it means his own death. Besides, Tony's spent his entire life keeping secrets. How can he possibly tell Steve that he's really Iron Man, let alone a werewolf?

Tony Stark is trying to set up a new superhero team when he's given a sex change, courtesy of Victor von Doom. He copes with that about as well as you'd expect.

Sometimes, when Tony actually does get to bed, he has issues with sleepwalking. Inevitably, though, these days he always sleepwalks into Steve's room, and winds up in Steve's bed, cuddling him.

For someone he'd hero-worshipped for so long, Steve Rogers in the flesh is a pretty big disappointment. For one thing, he keeps looking at Tony as though he reminds him of someone else, and even if he never says anything, Tony's pretty sure it's his father. A lifetime of not measuring up to Howard's expectations is more than enough, thank you very much, and he's certainly not going to make an effort to live up to any of Steve's. Steve's pretty clearly failed to live up to his expectations, in any case, and that's not hypocritical at all.

Fantastic fic with a great twist!

At age fifteen, Steve Rogers had been in love with Tony Stark.

By age twenty, he’d (mostly) gotten over it. And then he promptly became Tony Stark's fuck buddy.

From the Avengers Case Files of Phil Coulson: Grocery shopping is necessary, Tony's a little too proud of his tech, Captain America's lost on the streets of New York, and sometimes social injustice just happens.

Phil Coulson's the one who's got to write this nonsense up, and he is not their PR Manager.

Everyone knows that Tony Stark is a playboy, billionaire philanthropist, but what they don’t know is that he’s also a werewolf. When a government agency known as SHIELD finds out, they use this information to force Tony’s hand and bring him into a new elite lycan field team, codename The Avengers Initiative.

Suddenly Tony finds himself playing host to a bunch of lycans, a misplaced God of Thunder and an experimental supersoldier that isn’t as dead as everyone assumed. Can his week get any worse?

From the Author:
Summary:
"I’m trying to like you, Tony. You’re just making it very hard." Steve Rogers/Tony Stark

My notes: so good. The one where everyone moves into Stark Mansion, Pepper and Tony break up, Tony and Steve work through their feelings with a little help from a lady who is Steve's age.

As it turns out, the Extremis hadn't quite finished rewriting Tony's brain. The only potential fix has...consequences. [17309]

Tony liked playing by Fury's smaller rules. It made breaking the big ones much more satisfying.

One of Fury's bigger rules was trying to get along with his new team mates. Tony wanted to break that one. Over Steve's head.  Repeatedly . That, or tear of his spandex with his teeth.

The plane crash and subsequent ice might have killed him, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t still around, haunting those he cares about. And since the only person who can see him is Tony Stark, death sure isn’t going to be boring.

A year of Cap/Tony romance as told by the tabloids.

“I want you to keep your hands right here, alright?”

"You are most definitely not in love with me, Cap, what you are experiencing is called cabin pressure," Tony explains, because he has a rational train of thought and he's met enough shrinks to have figured out their tactics by now.

Summary: It's not that Pepper doesn't like Steve, she just figured she was getting involved with Tony, not Steve and Tony.
Song: You, Me and Steve by Garfunkel & Oates

// Ridiculously funny and charming.

Steve Rogers is a capable leader, a kind and cheerful man, a good friend, a strong role model, and a loyal soldier. He's also teetering on the edge of suicide.

For someone he'd hero-worshipped for so long, Steve Rogers in the flesh is a pretty big disappointment. For one thing, he keeps looking at Tony as though he reminds him of someone else, and even if he never says anything, Tony's pretty sure it's his father. A lifetime of not measuring up to Howard's expectations is more than enough, thank you very much, and he's certainly not going to make an effort to live up to any of Steve's.

Steve, newly defrosted, struggles with the modern world and his guilt over not being able to save Bucky. Tony still has nightmares about Afghanistan and Ho Yinsen. They get into a relationship that has problems from the get go, but that doesn't mean they won't give it a shot. [19639]
