Between The Lines by fohatic
Fandom Captain America (Movies), Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Avengers (Marvel Movies)
23 Aug 2022
Summary
Two times Steve and Tony slept together and went their separate ways, and one time they realized those two paths always led back to each other.
Three stories that explore three very different stages in Tony and Steve's relationship, all more or less falling within the parameters of canon. Meant to be read as the 'untold story' of these characters, as gleaned from between the lines of canon, better informing the nuances of their onscreen love language.
*Since these stories each pick up in different parts of the established MCU, they can be read out of order / as standalone stories without losing much context, so feel free to jump around!

How Light Carries on Endlessly by ghostofwinterfell
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Avengers (Marvel Movies), Marvel

Summary
One night turns into two, turns into a week, turns into four. Pepper appreciates the company, Steve thinks. Their nightly chats about the mundanity of life have become a ritual. Art installations, the weather, Morgan’s projects and antics. Sometimes, their voices will drop, become quieter. Steve will mention Peggy and Pepper will smile. She never speaks Tony’s name but he’s there, a third presence in their every conversation.
The message Tony left him still remains unseen in the form of the Iron Man helmet on Steve's oak bedside table. Today, Steve promises himself. Today will be the day he watches it.
He fails his promise every time.
Alternatively: Steve goes and has his family with Peggy and then finds a new one, eighty years later.Bookmarked by percaval

Summary
After the Civli War, the Avengers were back together.
How is everything going, Tony? Pepper had asked in her email.
It's fine (Tony had written back). I'm fighting with Steve all the time. Everything is going to hell. I'm okay (you know I'm always okay).(Or: How Tony and Steve learned to be a bit gentler with each other)

Summary
It's been 5 months since Steve and Tony last saw each other in Siberia, and Tony has just resurfaced after being missing for several weeks. Through a series of emails and text messages, they work to figure out what their friendship is going to look like in the future. But first, they have a lot of the past to contend with. And for some reason Tony keeps bringing up the topic of soulmates.

Summary
The first time Jarvis holds little Anthony in his arms, he is overwhelmed by emotion that is surprising in its intensity. When little Anthony's palm curves around his finger, Jarvis ducks his head to keep the others from seeing the wetness in his eyes.
"Hello Master Anthony," he whispers into the little ear, tugging the bundle of blankets closer to his heart.

Summary
“I just, I’m not always great with words, but I saw how Tony talked about you and then I saw how you talked about Tony and I just, well, I couldn’t unsee it. But then we came back here and now I see the way I look at Tony and I can’t unsee him the way you do… the way he’s meant to be seen.”
Steve scrubbed a hand over his face and through his hair before speaking, “Even if we can get Tony on board, it’s not gonna be easy Buck.”
Bucky gave a familiar, relaxed shrug, “defending your aggressive, skinny ass in every back alley in Brooklyn wasn’t easy either, but it was worth it.”
*AKA the Civil War fix-it story that ends in Stuckony bliss.

Summary
Every child is born with two marks, one from their mother and one from their father. They say that each mark represents a lesson your soulmates will teach you, that you can gain more and more as you go through life.
Tony was born with four. They said he was destined for greatness.
If this is what greatness looks like, then Tony doesn't want it.- Language:

Summary
Will scoffs, pouring boiling water into the French press.
"Keep the dog," he mutters, "you need something to teach you what affection really looks like."
"Keep... this dog?" It's the first thing that's ruffled his veil.
“Yes, that one. I think she might have some Bernese in her, she's going to be attractive when she grows up. Patient too, protective, smart. Easy to train - well, as easy as any puppy is."
He sees Hannibal look down at the furry body. "These are your terms."
"You can reject them, if you like," Will says archly, "but just know that if you accept them and anything happens to that dog, or Alana, I will kill you myself."

It's been months since the Avengers were pardoned. One by one, they'd all gone home, until Steve finds himself alone in the grand old building T'Challa had given them.
But everything changes when Steve answers the doorbell, and Tony Stark strides in with more grey on his temple and make-up on his face than Steve remembers.

Steve thinks as hard as he can: come home.
/Not like anyone's waiting for me back on earth, anyways./
Steve puts his fist through a wall.

Summary
Natasha presses her hand over her heart, and – Tony has heard rumors, that her skin is blank, or that she killed her other half, but he doesn’t believe them. “They deserve to know, don’t you think?”
He looks at the sleeping supersoldiers in his hospital room, thinks of going to bed safe and surrounded and waking up when it’s already light out, when the first pot of coffee is already cold, waking up to Steve’s bedhead and the body-warmed metal of Bucky’s prosthetic hand, waking up whole.
“They’ve been together for ninety years, Nat,” he says. “They’re practically married. There’s no room for me.”

Tony goes blonde for a few months.
She isn’t nuts about it, but Steve and Bucky really seem to hate it, which is a good selling point. The press are convinced it's the beginning of a mental break.
They might not be totally wrong.

The Twice-Told Tale by arysteia

Summary
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.
