Title: Photo Booth
Rating: Teen and Up
Summary: Seventy years ago, Steve and Bucky had their picture taken.
Notes: Inspired by this post by thisisamarvelblogg on Tumblr: i have so many feelings about photo booths. for a lot of people (read: lgbt people) it was the first/only opportunity a lot of them had to have pictures of themselves as a couple, because there was no photographer, so it was a few seconds to be themselves and have PROOF of themselves to hide away for when they needed it. and uh since this is technically a fandom blog?? Fandom: Whoever cleaned out Steve's apartment definitely found at least one sheet of three increasingly close hugs and then a kiss tucked inside a book hidden under something.
Inspired also by shanology on tumblr, who responded: Headcanon 100% accepted, this was absolutely a thing that Science Nerd Bucky Barnes would have made Steve go check out.
I messed around with timing a little and it's probably not 100% historically accurate but also the US never developed a super soldier serum so I'm feeling okay about my inaccuracies. Also you guys, the banana cream twinkies are real.
Warnings: Some era-specific homophobia, nothing significant beyond cultural background noise.

Title: The Michelin Man
Rating: General
Summary: Steve was not prepared for this at six am on his day off.
Notes: Minopoke on tumblr posted the following:
"Michelin has gone to extraordinary lengths to maintain the anonymity of its inspectors. Many of the company's top executives have never met an inspector; inspectors themselves are advised not to disclose their line of work, even to their parents (who might be tempted to boast about it); and, in all the years that it has been putting out the guide, Michelin has refused to allow its inspectors to speak to journalists."
Okay but Michelin inspector AU where they use all the cheesy spy lines and dodgy excuses and their SO is convinced they work for the CIA or something. but actually they just really secretly review restaurants.

Starkerized then suggested I don't know who fits the bill for this job but my first thought was FOODIEVERSE.

Notes: In a previous story in the series, The Music Room And The Penthouse, I mentioned that Clint’s role in the inner circle of Tony’s friends is akin to “mascot”. It inspired me to write about Clint, the youngest member of the hottest society set in Manhattan and thus the entire city’s baby brother, clinging desperately to Tony and Bucky as his Gay Role Models. And the moment Tony offhandedly introduces him to Phil Coulson...

Notes: This was initially two separate stories, neither titled, but both being short I thought they went particularly well together. Written for the June Fic Fest in June of 2016. Prompts were:
Anonymous: I just adore your Jan and Natasha interacting with Maria, and I'd love to see their shopping trip! Or just the aftermath, with Jarvis providing soothing beverages after a frenetic day out.

Summary: Tony attends a wedding; Steve starts making a little space.
Notes: Natasha Stark is a canonical gender-bent Tony Stark whose marriage to Steve Rogers in Earth 3490 prevented the Civil War. This story is based on a glorious art/headcanon from [tumblr.com profile] ireallyshouldbedrawing: Somehow Tony Starks from different universes ended up in one but they worked it out and were able to go home and a few Tonys got a long really well, including 3490!Natasha and 616!Tony maybe and they promised to keep in touch (secretly obviously). And then it was Natasha's wedding day and she asked if the other Tonys could ‘be there' for her and this one Tony holed himself up in his lab to ‘attend' the wedding and he was happy for Natasha but so jealous at the same time and he was so overwhelmed that he didn't hear Steve, who just got back from a mission, came in.

Notes: This was originally a shorter story written for the Bucky Mini Fic Fest, but when I expanded it I thought I should probably make it a standalone. Originally prompted by Charmedor on Tumblr, asking for "anything Steve/Tony/Bucky", it was expanded when @dreamcatchersdaughter sent me an ask: "...you wrote an OT3 fic I fell madly in love with and that I re-read all the time [...] I was sort of wondering, if there was gonna be a sequel of them reassuring Tony.

Summary: A SHIELD agent named Roger Stevens told Tony that his nickname was "Cap". Tony didn't connect the dots until it was much, much too late.
Notes: Inspired by an anonymous fic prompt here: "Steve woke up from the ice and went to the Stark Expo and still got awed but instead of Howard it was Tony and ofc it was more amazing bUT THEN HE GOT TO MEET THE PERSON AND HOT DAMN, THE GENIUS IS CUTE and thus the 'Mr. Stark' in the Avengers movie was actually Steve trying to play it cool while fanboying inside, amen".

Notes: Inspired by a fandom dream by @allofthefeelings on Tumblr, and first posted here: "The artificial concept drawing people into state-mandated relationships was not D/s or A/B/O or whatever, but rather ghost hunting and who could fight ghosts had to be paired with who could communicate with them and the rituals involved making a scythe to prove devotion."

Thor might be able to help them with their babysitting problem...
Notes: Partly inspired by Gypsylady on AO3 who requested "the story of Thor taking Izzy to Asgard so she can be a space princess."

He has good friends with him: ship's captain Carol Danvers, medic Sam Wilson, best friend James Rhodes and boyfriend James Barnes, as well as scientist Vernon van Dyne and his daughter Janet. But they've also been assigned a diplomatic observer from the USSR named Natalia Romanoff, and the barren chill of Greenland is not the only threat dogging their search.

Then someone takes a shot at Tony in the middle of a busy workday, and all bets are off...

It was a quiet night at the Millville Bird Sancutary just outside New York City... )

Title: L☆VE
Summary: Steve's favorite shirt is at the center of a debate about masculinity, sexuality, and whether or not he did in fact steal it like a thief in the night from Tony.
Warnings: Some brief homophobia aimed at Steve.
Notes: So, I posted this image to Tumblr with the caption "I've found Steve's favorite shirt":


Things snowballed from there.

Really a lot of credit goes to ifeelbetterer on tumblr for the framework of the whole thing and at least 12% of the credit goes to notimpossiblejustabitunlikely on tumblr for pointing out that it was undoubtedly Tony's shirt first.

You can view and purchase the IT'S STARS AND STRIPES shirt here. It's been around a while, I didn't invent it or anything.

Steve put his hands on his hips, surveying the table in front of him. )

Title: The Soldier And The Hurricane
Rating: PG-13
Summary: When the Winter Soldier fails to kill Howard and Maria Stark and is taken prisoner in the summer of 1967, his salvation comes in the unlikely form of a Russian-speaking, father-disobeying, endlessly-tinkering seventeen-year-old: Tony Stark.
Warnings: Mentions of alcoholism, brief mentions of suicide; various references to Howard Stark's terrible parenting (no child abuse, just...poor parenting).
Notes: I started writing this on my phone on the bus on the way to a walk-in clinic, and I don't think I wrote a single word where I wasn't running a fever. So have fun with that. I did. :D

On Storytelling:

Fanfiction is a way of the culture repairing the damage done in a system where contemporary myths are owned by corporations instead of owned by folk.
-- Henry Jenkins

Life is very short. We die on the march. But there is nothing outside the march so nothing can be lost to it. The missing plays of Sophocles will turn up piece by piece, or be written again in another language.
-- Tom Stoppard

Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
-- G. Bernard Shaw

A good story should provoke discussion, debate, argument...and the occasional bar fight.
-- J. Michael Strazynski

Here's how to become a great artist. First, get miserable. Misery drives you to become a great artist, but the art does nothing for your misery, which drives you to drugs, which makes you a lousy artist.
-- House M.D.

Humans? They're long gone. Vanished. Extinct. They only exist in stories.
-- Ferngully

Anton Chekov, who was a doctor, said, "Medicine is my wife; writing is my mistress."

Se non e vero, e ben trovato. (Even if it’s not true, it’s a good story.)
-- Italian Proverb

The recipe for becoming a good novelist is easy to give, but to carry it out presupposes qualities one is accustomed to overlook. One has only to make a hundred or so sketches for novels, none longer than two pages but of such distinctness that every word in them is necessary. One should write down anecdotes every day until one has learnt how to give them the most pregnant and effective form; one should be tireless in collecting and describing human types and characters; one should above all relate things to others and listen to others relate, keeping one's eyes and ears open for the effect produced on those present, one should travel like a landscape painter or costume designer. One should, finally, reflect on the motives of human actions, disdain no signpost for instruction about them and be a collector of these things by day and night. One should continue in this many-sided exercise for some ten years; what is then created in the workshop will be fit to go out into the world.
-- Nietzsche

The thief. Once committed beyond a certain point he should not worry himself too much. Thieving is God's message to him. Let him try and be a good thief.
-- Samuel Butler

What is written without effort is generally read without pleasure.
-- Samuel Johnson

Same story, different versions, and all are true.
-- POTC: Dead Man's Chest

I am a humble artist
moulding my earthly clod,
adding my labour to nature's,
simply assisting God.
-- Piet Hein

Every archaeologist knows in his heart why he digs. He digs, in pity and humility, that the dead may live again, that what is past may not be forever lost, that something may be salvaged from the wrack of the ages.
-- From "The Testimony of the Spade"

Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.
-- Francis Bacon

It is better, of course, to know useless things than to know nothing.
-- Seneca epistles 88 45

When asked how she acquired her knowledge of science, Octavia Butler replied, "I read."

Imagination is more important than information.
-- Albert Einstein
