"I am Iron Man."

1. I made myself a new journal header >>> [livejournal.com profile] ayascythe *hearts*

2. I posted some fic:
- drabbles for XMFC, SPN and Iron Man
- an Iron Man/RPS crossover in which Tony meets Maik Franz. Yeah, I don't know about that, either.
- 3-sentence-fic I wrote for the ficathon (both Iron Man)

3. I cannot get over the fact how incredibly amazing Tony Stark is as a character and how much Steve/Tony has devoured my brain, heart and fandom attention. As in: I actually want to write fic about them. O: And I love them so much that I need to just, I don't know spread the love? Spam everyone? Anyhow, here are some relevant links if you want to finally understand why I just won't shut up about that genius-billionaire-playboy-philanthropist and his Captain. :D

A Sword, a Horse, a Shield
The Steve Rogers/Tony Stark ship manifesto.

This probably explains better than I ever could just why Tony and Steve work so well together and why I'm so madly in love with Tony right now. You can literally go through my checklist of characterization kinks and make crosses leik whoa. (If you know me and my favourite characters, you'll know what I mean.) Plus, there's a nice collection of fic recs at the end.


Fic recs. Mostly Tony/Steve, but they all have brilliant Tony-characterizations and show various aspects of him that I just love i.e. love seeing explored.

Tony beeing an inventor, genius and science!geek:

User Interface by AlchemyAlice
Steve dares to stick his head into the workshop on a Tuesday which had so far been filled only with paperwork, and as soon as he actually comprehends what he's seeing, he kind of just wants to forget the filing and the G-33 forms and just stay down there forever.


Tony + bad sex decisions. (Also: Tony/JARVIS! *flails*)

Safeword by melannen
Tony Stark doesn't need to be safe, sane, and consensual. He has JARVIS instead. (Then he gets Steve.)


Tony (not) dealing with his PTSD after his abduction in Afghanistan. Both fics are incredibly good and also show a good deal about how little self-worth Tony actually has.

Metal Heart by ashinan
No one has ever asked Tony Stark if he was fine.

Deep Waters by AlchemyAlice
His power's running low, the arc reactor flickering. Cold, rancid sewer water is rushing into the fissure at his torn up shoulder, filling up the gaps, rising along his neck in frigid fingers. He's been like this before.


Daddy!issues!

Understanding something doesn't mean you can change it (except where you can) by sirona
How Howard Stark went from Captain America's Howard Stark to the one Tony grew up with. And a possible explanation for Tony's Mom not taking more of an interest in her son. And Tony coping with the parents he's been saddled with. With bonus appearances from Peggy Carter, Dummy and, eventually, Steve himself.


Daddy!issues taken to another level with implied Howard/Steve and really, ouch, but so good:

In Every Way But The One That Matters by helens78
Five ways Tony reminds Steve of Howard, and one way he doesn't.


Tony being insecure about himself - and okay, I could list pretty much every well written Iron Man/Avengers fic here, but this one is really cute.

The Two Tonys by lymricks
Captain America is a dick, which makes it ok to ruin Pepper's first Halloween off.


Tony being awesome, just by being Tony and having hilarious thoughts. I love well-written Tony!voice.

Touch Me, I Wanna Be Dirty by blue_jack
Tony’s not going to deny that he’s ridiculously excited. Steve. In his bed. Naked. Everything is rainbows and nothing hurts.
