Two stories that play with what-if today. What if Tony didn't exist? Or what if Tony hadn't revealed Ironman's identity?

Shadow in the Stream (24746 words) by Azul_Bleu
Chapters: 3/3
Fandom: The Avengers (2012), Marvel (Movies), The Avengers - All Fandoms
Rating: Mature
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark
Characters: Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, Clint Barton, Thor (Marvel), Bruce Banner, Natasha Romanov, Phil Coulson
Additional Tags: Community: avengerkink, quantum!, Tony hates magic
Summary:

Caught in the grips of spectacular hangovers, the Avengers wish Tony wasn't around to enable them, and a power decides to grant them their wish: a world without Tony Stark. How do you change reality back to normal without your resident genius billionaire playboy philanthropist, anyway?



This story is heart-warming and angsty. It has a seriously awesome Thor, plus awesome everyone else. I found the plot device whereby the world exists without Tony to be a little high school. But do persist past this as it is an enjoyable, plotty tale.


The Most Amazing Things (Some Terrible Lie) (26511 words) by copperbadge
Chapters: 3/3
Fandom: The Avengers - Ambiguous Fandom
Rating: Mature
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark
Characters: Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, Natasha Romanov, Clint Barton, Bruce Banner, Thor (Marvel), Pepper Potts
Additional Tags: Identity Issues, Secret Identity, Identity Porn, Alternate Universe, Publicity, unmasking
Summary:

Tony's decision not to reveal his identity as Iron Man to the world was shrewd and calculated. Too bad it's about to backfire on him like a Jericho missile.



Thanks to [personal profile] sally_maria for recing this one to me. I really liked the way Ironman being anonymous allowed Tony to be the kind of person he wanted to be.

What did you think? And do you have a favourite what-if to rec?

Is anyone watching Once Upon a Time? Should I be?

But more importantly, here are some Steve/Tony recs! I'd be astonished if any Steve/Tony reader hadn't come across these, but maybe I bookmarked different ones. If I did please share yours!

I'll get started with a couple of funny ones today.

Mr. July (10065 words) by jibrailis
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Avengers (2012)
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark
Summary:

Tony is the only one who can defend Steve's virtue. Tony hates his life.



So much fun :)

The Dilemma (11625 words) by Elvichar
Chapters: 21/21
Fandom: The Avengers (2012), Captain America (2011), Iron Man (Movies)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark, Bruce Banner & Tony Stark
Characters: Bruce Banner, Steve Rogers, Hulk, Tony Stark, Pepper Potts, Thor (Marvel)
Additional Tags: My First Work in This Fandom, Unresolved Sexual Tension, Unrequited Love, Bromance, Closeted Character, Misunderstanding
Series: Part 1 of You Get What You Need
Summary:

Tony had a feeling he should really be ashamed of himself for the thoughts he was having, but he also knew that he might have to compromise, choose or give up. He didn't make a habit of giving up on a dream so the latter was not an option.

He might have to use all his charm and diplomacy to broker some sort of deal.



A complete giggle. It's not a Stark Spangled Banner story, despite early hints.

So... like them? Read them already?

Okay, so once upon a time, I told a friend that The Avengers wasn't sparking any fannish desires. THEN I decided that, well, Steve Rogers and Tony Stark are both hot, so collectively, they would be VERY HOT together, and started reading porn. Pretty half-heartedly though.

THEN, astolat posted a Loki/Thor story, and I read it, and BAM! I am smack in the middle of a massive fannish obsession. I LOVE the way that happens! I can't predict what will get me.

Rosie! I remember when I came to visit you last summer, you pointed me in the direction of lots of lovely Tumblr goodness about Hiddleston and Hemsworth. Where can I finds it again?! And anything else you deem important now that I have (finally) been assimilated?!

Lots of !!! because I am in the grip of The Joy ;)

(BTW, I'm reccing this Steve/Tony fic because it is hilarious. I love it. No pron tho ;) http://archiveofourown.org/works/406312/chapters/670521)
