    Summary

    Steve gave up on finding answers and closure regarding Civil War when he learned that Tony had erased his memories of the past year. Now that alien tech has created a psychic link between them, Steve finds that even direct access to Tony’s consciousness won’t illuminate what Tony does remember, because he’s actively trying to block Steve from everything that crosses his mind. Still, Steve discovers plenty of unexpected thoughts and feelings in Tony’s head…

    Summary

    It's not another Hallmark Christmas movie.

    It's not, because this time, it's from the point of view of the poor boyfriends the women left behind for the new beau they always meet and fell in love with when they go to a small rural town for Christmas.

    Time for a new romance, guys.

    Summary

    Peter is working at Delmar’s, sorting out tabloids on the rack in the front, and he sees Tony’s face plastered everywhere and then Peter is reading words and then he can’t read anything because he’s crying and his shaking hands rip the magazine in half.

    Tony Stark…alive.

    He saved the world, saved Peter, and Peter never even got to thank him. Not that it matters now. If Peter was a factor in Tony's decision to snap his fingers, Peter will never know. No one will ever know, because Peter fucked up and now he doesn’t exist.

    When his carefully arranged "boyfriend meets the family" dinner goes disastrously wrong, Peter turns to the only source he can truly trust for advice.

    (It's Reddit. The nerd asks Reddit.)

    Or, “I [19M] found out my boyfriend [47M] slept with my aunt [46F] before I was born and I have no idea what to do about it”

    The reddit advice is spot on like it literally came from the site with its own online spectator humor and puns. I actually wish there was a sequel with follow up commentators connecting this to another reddit post.

    Summary

    An introspective journey through the life and relationships of Sherlock Holmes.

    "I can hear the bones hum beneath pale and freckled skin, this sack that holds my form together. Bits and pieces that start at the bottom and end at the top, hiding the blood, muscle, fat. Cells, knit together, constantly in motion. They'll live and die, and replicate, until total equilibrium is met."

    John prefers apricot jam on his muffins. He doesn’t like the seeds in the blackberry, or the strawberry, or the raspberry. I sneak an assortment of seedless jams into the cupboard. Apricot is the first to be emptied, followed closely by plum. Fig preserves (abhorrent) run a distant third place.

    Summary

    “There’s a lot people don’t know about hanahaki,” Tony says, looking at his dirty, scarred hands. They fit him. He deserves them. He gives Yinsen a rueful smile. “Everyone thinks it’s about love, but it’s actually about holding good people hostage.”

    ---

    Tony Stark survives hanahaki only to drown in his own guilt.

    “I’ve got a weird body, Tony. Even before the serum I was always being poked and prodded by doctors checking up on me or bullies finding my weak spots. And now everybody and their grandma wants to squeeze Captain America’s magic test tube biceps. It’s just human curiosity.”

    Tony looked like someone was trying to teach him calculus. Incorrectly.

    Or, Tony realizes Steve doesn't think he has a right to bodily autonomy, hits the roof, and sets about correcting the notion. Takes place after the battle for New York and before Winter soldier.

    Summary

    “Why do you reach?” Tony's head whips around. Serpent. He thinks, staring up into eyes too green to be human. “You never wanted them, you Midgardians are so fickle.” The tone is almost fondly amused, but venom can be sweet. Tony knows this in some deep fundamental part of his soul.

    “They're mine, give them back.” He hisses, uncaring of the alarm bells this person's presence is setting off.

    “Ah but I have given you your fondest wish.” His smile is sharp, too sharp, glittering, and white, and knowing. Armored scales hiss over the sand as the man crouches down so they are at eye-level with each other. “You have always wanted to be someone else, haven't you? Now is your chance, you are welcome.”

    Or alternately that Amnesiac Au where Tony Stark does not remember he's Tony Stark and The Avengers are protective of their memory-less friend. Bee keeping, cottages, and angsty fluff oh my.

Life goes on for the Avengers, but as disagreements split the team -- and Shellhead and Winghead -- again and again, Steve wonders why Iron Man always picks Tony over him. And when Steve finds out, it happens in the worst way possible.
