Specific Stony Fic

Hi hi!

I'm looking for a specific fic I read a while ago. It's Tony/Steve and they can't stand each other but I think Fury or someone forces them to become pretend boyfriends for press or something. And I think it alternates POV maybe? Because part of it is definitely from Steve's POV when they're being interviewed about being a couple and he starts to think about how nice Tony's eyes are when he's talking about being in love with him. Lots of pining follows. I've been looking for it forever and I can't remember the title lol. Any help is appreciated!

Tony gets revenge on/protects Bruce from General Ross

I had a couple of stories queued up to read, but then had problems and had to shut my laptop down, which made me lose the list. So I figured I could just expand the list to other such stories. All I remember about the list was Tony getting back at Thunderbolt Ross for his actions against the Avengers, mainly but not limited to Bruce. I'm thinking publicly beating back an attack agains tthe tower to capture the Hulk (I recall one where War Machine helped out). Or shaming Ross online or at a press conference. I recall one story where a Ross subordinate sets up Steve to tour a secure military base when none of the team is available to keep him from being detained. Even stories where Betty publically turns on her father in favor of her boyfriend. Any and all stories gladly accepted. Slash, het, gen, and any combination thereof.

(Don't bother suggesting "Dolls and Guys" from the series "Love is For Children" by Ysabethwordsmith. I already have that one. In fact I think I'll re-read it now. And I have to recommend going to AO3 and checking out that excellent series. Gives a bit of alternate view of the team dynamics.)

Tony/Team Media fics

I am looking for a few things:

1. Specific fic- it was about the news or whatever going deeper into Tony's dark past like how crappy Howard stark treated him (physical abuse?)and Afghanistan etc. the team is watching this and is surprised. I think like a lady came forward with some evidence or something of child abuse (might be a different fic)I don't remember where I read it exactly but I think it was ao3 but I'm not sure.

EDIT: I also remember them going through all the other avengers stories and got dirt on them too.

Fic recs:
2.a fic like the fic I was looking for
3. Press conference or interview with Tony or team
4. Tony helping out team with media
5. Somebody seeing how well Tony handles the press or the mask he wears for it.

Thank you!

Hmm, is been a year, I'm looking for aTony Stark as Sherlock Holmes fic

Hi, I know this has been asked several times, I asked about it a year ago, but I haven't been able to find it, maybe now someone can remember??

I'm talking about a fic where Tony Stark is the actor in the Sherlock Holmes movies. He, as Tony Stark played Sherlock in the movies.

If anyone, remembers the name, part of the name or the author please tell me!!

Thank you, be well, Monica

Genius!Tony

Hey y'all. I am really looking for some good fics where you get to see Tony really being a genius. I would love it if those could also include the team being amazed by something Tony is doing or thinking or creating. Could be something like Tony being a polyglot and surprising Natasha by speaking Russian or something, or him solving complex problems in a few seconds, or building something amazing, the team seeing him working in the lab for the first time etc. I remember a fic where Tony meets Charles from the X-Men for the first time and Charles is unable to read his mind because he is thinking about too many things at once and thinking so fast that that cannot get a grip on his thoughts. Anything like this I would really appreciate!
I'm not picky at all over pairings or other tags, so go wild. THANK YOU!!!!!

Protective Team in public

fics where the team or some of the team go to an event/fundraiser/gala and Tiberius Stone is there. They realize how uncomfortable Tony is around him, or how much of an ass Stone is, or Stone threatens him and the team get protective/angry. Even if it isn't Stone, maybe someone else that Tony doesn't like or is afraid of.
Thank you!

Steve's sketchbooks get stolen - FOUND

There's a fic already on AO3 where Steve has these little sketchbooks that he keeps in a backpack that he takes everywhere and some kid gets paid by a tabloid to go through his stuff while he's volunteering at a community center and Steve chases him and nearly beats the stuffing out of him but Tony stops him and tells the kid that he should consider himself lucky that it was Steve almost tearing him a new one and not Natasha or Bruce or something...

I think it's Steve/Tony but I'm not sure.

I'd like to re-read it myself but it was this prompt over at the kink meme that reminded me of it and I wanted to rec it to the OP since it seems right up their alley even if it doesn't fit the prompt.

Thanks in advance!

Steve/Tony Specific Fic - Fake Dating

FOUND: the reason you ruminate the shadowy past by Mizzy [Search answered by both Mizzy2k and dinara_n, thank you both so much!]

Hi,

Okay so I am possibly conflating two fic into one, but I feel like it was a single one. I would very much appreciate any help finding it (or them if that turns out to be the case.) I know that I read it on AO3, but of course that doesn't mean it is only available there.

Facts/Clues: I believe the overall basis of the fic was that Steve kissed Tony in public quite impulsively to make a point (in front of some police officers or fire men perhaps who were making homophobic remarks?) In order to avoid public backlash against Tony and subsequently the company, Pepper comes up with the plan for them to date for a year before breaking up. Of course, the two end up falling for each other, but think the other is just waiting for the year to be over.

There's a scene where a reporter or photographer sneaks into the workshop (via car trunk?) and just finds the two playing cards together, or something along those lines. I believe this helps convince the media and public that they really are together and it isn't a stunt.

Very specifically, I feel like the beginning and part of the end include roughly the line "Justin Hammer is a knob." Because he unleashes an evil, robotic, giant TV on some sorts. When this happens, I believe Tony leaves Steve sleeping in the hotel room to go fight this creation. Possibly from another story, cannot confirm for certain whether this goes with the above, but I feel like it does?

The end possibly involves a passage or two in italics about how they grow old together in a retirement home (or something along those lines) and Tony makes Steve an electric blanket. This could of course be from an entirely different story. I just feel like it was maybe involved here.

I recently lost all my AO3 bookmarks [long story], but even if I hadn't they were a bit of a mess and I probably wouldn't have found this fic in them. I've tried searching what I believe to be the relevant tags on AO3 and haven't turned it up just yet. Sorry I am by turns quite certain in placed and very uncertain in others. It's been a while since I read it and it quite suddenly came to mind. I would appreciate any help, of course, and if someone can locate it I'll edit that into the main text!

Bucky/WS's public intro as the new Avenger

This scene is very vague in my head so I don't know if it's part of a fanfic I read some time ago, or just an idea that came to me in the headspace between waking and sleeping when your head wants to sink back down, but your body's saying 'get up'. So any story with this type of scene would be nice to read. It's right after either a mission or a responce to a team member being attacked by the public or press. Or it could be a press conference called then or later. The team is introducing their newest member, the Winter Soldier -- yes, THAT Winter Soldier -- and no matter what he was maide to do in the past, he is a valued and trusted member of the team. Questions and criticism follow; the team says get over it, yadda, yadda, yadda. There may or may not be one or two other new members -- War Machine, Falcon. Steve and Bucky may or may not come out as a couple; or may or may not even be a couple. You get the picture. Anything along those line would be appreciated.

The Avengers watch LoTR

I only remember one scene, and the team was watching Lord of the Rings. Thor and Loki recognized some of the story from real events in the other realms. Also, I think there was some discussion of storytelling, but I could be making that up.

Thanks!

Specific Steve-centric fic and identity reveal fic recs

I heard about this one fanfic where Steve is a teacher and he's found out to be Captain America due to some circumstances, does anyone know of it or have a pdf or something?

Also, are there any other fics where one of the Avengers or Phil or Darcy or Jane or someone is found out to be one or have connection to one for whatever reason?

Entry tags:

Recommendations?

I'm looking for recommendations for these types of fics please:

-Supernatural crossover(Dean-centric)
-Sherlock crossover(John-centric)
-Reunions with family, schools, or people they used to know (like the circus carnies for Clint or people who lived in the or hometown)
-People seeing them on TV and being shocked that one of them is an Avenger or something along those lines
-Clint is too thin, underweight, etc.(not necessarily an eating disorder)
-Interviews/Press Conferences/Social Networking
-The team being cute and protective and family-like(preferably Clint-centric)
-Good Clint-centric fics

Thank You.

Looking for Steve-centric stories

I am looking for any story that has Steve Rogers dealing with the press.

I am also looking for any story where the Avengers find out that they don't really know Steve Rogers. Any story where people find out that there is only a Captain America because there's a Steve Rogers.

Also, any story where Steve can lift or more Thor's hammer would be great as well.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Steve and the team doing Oprah, FauxNews, and the like

I've search for and enjoyed the fruits of other peoples searches for Captain America and the Avengers team dealing with all manners of the press. What I had in mind today was Steve Rogers appearing on Oprah or being interviewed on one of the FAUXNews shows. I can just imagine them thinking he'd be on their side and Steve being appaled by their brand of conservatism. Any story I haven't seen yet. (What's the one where a painting of skinny and almost naked Steve in an art gallery where Papper, Tony, and the team are attending a party or fund raiser, the real long story. I've read that, and saved it to read again. I just don't feel like looking up the title this second.)

The team helping out in a natural disaster/rescue unit

I'm a California girl, born and raised in the land of earthquakes. I've also live in the south and midwest where there's the danger of nasty thunderstorms, flooding, or tornadoes. I wonder if there are any stories out there of the Avengers (and maybe the X-Men or Batman assisting) helping out victims of natural disasters. Things like hurricanes, tornadoes, quakes, floods, or maybe a building explosion or collapse. Maybe the story could be how the media covers the event afterwards and their bias toward or against certain team members.

The things one comes up with when the brain wanders.

Entry tags:

Media perception

I'm looking for any stories where someone/everyone gets angry about how Tony's represented in the media or how he's treated by people who don't take the time to get to know him properly.

I'd also like any stories where the public or SI employees adore him even if he drives people in power crazy.

Bucky Barnes - Social Media

I'm looking for a fic about Bucky post-CATWS where he is tracked and helped by ordinary people - a cup of coffee, library books, medical care, all signs of support by people who care. I believe in this fic (or maybe there are a couple of fics along the same line?) there's a "Bucky-watch" in social media for people who want to help. I've been racking my brains for the title to no avail, but I'm pretty sure it was on the kink meme. Thank you in advance :)

(no subject)

Fanfic where Tony Stark and Steve Rogers have interview with xenophobic TV host, and start switching languages. I'm reasonably sure that some of the languages where Irish Gaelic, French, Russian, Italian, and German. I think it was on either http://archiveofourown.org/ or livejournal.

Entry tags:

looking for some fics

I was hoping you can help me to find some fics where media really talks Tony down for dating Steve? Like all the paparazzi say awful things and Tony pretends like it's okay but in reality it hurts like a bitch? So like insecure Tony?

social media!fic / news!fic / article!fic

I'm looking for any marvel fics written in the style of news articles, blog posts, courtroom transcripts, tweets, media interviews, etc. I've read some really fantastic stories in this style that I absolutely recommend reading:

http://archiveofourown.org/works/2304905/chapters/5071058 - "United States v. Barnes, 617 F. Supp. 2d 143 (D.D.C. 2015)" by fallingvoices and radialarch - Steve/Bucky fic about Winter soldier trial

http://archiveofourown.org/works/1758087/chapters/3758717 - "tin soldiers" by idrilka - Steve/Bucky fic about public reactions to events of CA:TWS and them coming out

http://archiveofourown.org/works/1599293 - "Steve Rogers at 100: Celebrating Cpatain America on Film" by eleveninches, Febricant, hellotailor, M_Leigh, neenya, & tigrrmilk - Steve/Bucky fic about them watching captain america movies that came out while they were frozen

These are just the ones that I can think of off the top of my head but I know I've read others and I really love this style. These three just happen to all be Steve/Bucky recs but I'll take any pairing! Happy reading and please leave recs in the comments! Thanks!
