Place to discuss, rec, and generally squee over fan fiction about Steve Rogers and Tony Stark
Good Stony fics?
Please rec me your favorite stony fics. I mostly read MCU stuff since that's what I'm the most familiar with. I don't care if your favorite fic only has twenty kudos or five million, I just need something good to read. Here are some of my favorites in case you're interested.
Toy Soldiers by copperbadege (http://archiveofourown.org/works/3532880/chapters/7773125) First skinny!steve fic I've ever read, and it left such an impression that I stalked the skinny!steve tag for like five days after that.
Say When by ann2who (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1761325/chapters/3766177) The identity porn! The amazing fan videos that come with the fic! Just, the whole series is amazing.
The Twice-Told Tale by arysteia (http://archiveofourown.org/works/411599?view_adult=true) This, this is what started it all. This is the fic that made me start shipping stony. Just curious, did anyone else completely miss the part where Steve presses his finger behind Tony's jaw or somewhere on his face? Because I didn't even know that was a part until I got to the end of the fic.
(Dreaming) Someone Else's Dream by missbecky (http://archiveofourown.org/works/660326) This one is so cool. I really wish there was a sequel to explain how Tony dreamt what he dreamt. Like was it some god up there? Magic? I want to know.
Teenage Dream by Etharei (http://archiveofourown.org/works/259613) It's an underage fic but it's a good underage fic. Idk, just read it if you don't care that Tony's 16 and Steve's older.
Slipping Through The Years by often_adamanta (http://archiveofourown.org/works/406466?view_adult=true) I wish there was a fanfiction of this fanfiction. This was just one of those stories that you need to read more. The best part was when Fury was lecturing Steve and Tony, and Steve was too busy eyefucking Tony.
Falling Into You by Sabrecmc (http://archiveofourown.org/works/3731302/chapters/8269387) Oh Tony, you poor, lost child. In this fic you get to see Tony trying to woo an amnesiac!Steve.
Remember Me by Samptra (http://archiveofourown.org/works/689189/chapters/1265909) BAMF!Tony??? Hell yeah! The best part is probably when all the other soldiers are shocked to see Tony smiling.
Catch Me Through The Looking-Glass by Ylixia (http://archiveofourown.org/works/2184675) Okay, so this is a MCU/616 crossover and it completely blew my mind. This is probably weird but my favorite part is when MCU Steve talks with the team after having sex with Tony. 616 Steve is jealous and bitter and idk why I like that.
My Son, My Sun by Wordsplat (http://archiveofourown.org/works/709332/chapters/1310775) First superfamily fic I read and I wasn't disappointed. Everything was on point. Sure there were moments that were frustrating but isn't that real life?
Sinking Like Stone by laylabinx (https://archiveofourown.org/works/654446) This one hurts. Just, expect to cry.
Interlude with Ludes by Mystikspiral (http://archiveofourown.org/works/4195932?view_adult=true) Porn. But like, good porn. So...
Take This by Arkada (http://archiveofourown.org/works/500340) I loved the little scenes that explained why Tony didn't like to be handed things. I always read stories where the author just makes Tony fickle like that but never really explains why.
I could spend a whole day rec-ing fics and I still wouldn't be done.




I wonder if anyone ever think about starting a stony blog rec that has a commentary for each story like destielfanfic tumblr blog, I always wish there were one for Cap-Iron pairing.
There is a blog called stevetonyfic that does have their own reaction to each fic. The only thing is that this blog hasn't been active for a couple months now.
Hm... I will try looking that blog.
Holding out for a Hero http://archiveofourown.org/works/1365328?view_full_work=true Buy You a Mockingbird http://archiveofourown.org/works/256017 10 Things I Hate About You http://archiveofourown.org/works/439281?view_full_work=true Change (Series) by Lag Lemon http://archiveofourown.org/series/18387 America isn't Chicken http://archiveofourown.org/series/49178 Not About Superheroes http://archiveofourown.org/series/119976
Honestly I have more, but... yeah I'm gonna try and self restrain myself. I've honestly spent so much of my life reading fanfiction, it's a tad problematic lol
I get you, I don't know how many hours I've lost from reading fanfiction. It's become a huge problem but I just can't quit. I mean, there are just so many good stories! Anyways, thanks for the rec! It's gonna sound so bad but I have never read the first three even though I see it all the time.
They are just some favorites of mine, I actually have commissioned art of the first two.
Born From The Earth, by venusm: Very well-thought-out A/B/O; hot as hell; incomplete, unfortunately, but it did update just a couple months ago, so it's not dead.

He Blinded Me With Science, by Orbingarrow: One of the most perfect no-powers office verses you will ever read. HILARIOUS. http://archiveofourown.org/works/5924488
Slipping Off the Page into Your Hands, by Sineala: Ohhh myyy goood, I have read this fic at least six times, it is beautiful, it is everything, I love it! (In a more useful description, it's soulmate fic with identity porn set in 616.) http://archiveofourown.org/works/2626499
I (created from fantasies) exist solely for you, by Mizzy: Hilarious, excellent use of "comic-book tone", identity porn, and office pranks.
http://archiveofourown.org/works/565273
I have never read He Blinded Me With Science so I'm definitely going to read that later on today.
Six times? Wow. I know I read it once but I can't remember what it's about so I really gotta re-read that if it's worth reading six times.
God, I have too many favourites, but I'll list 5 that I can think of, off the top of my head! In no particular order:
Belief Space by magicasen (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1554425?view_full_work=true)
Resurrection-verse by Elspethdixon and Seanchai (http://archiveofourown.org/series/22273)
A Higher Form of War by sabrecmc (http://archiveofourown.org/works/2482181)
Plunge by kiyaar (http://archiveofourown.org/works/830761)
Phil Coulson's Case Files of the Toasterverse by scifigirl47 (https://archiveofourown.org/series/18869)
I second scifigrl47's Toasterverse and would add her "Tales of the Bots" series for good measure - Dummy gets magicked into a boy and both hijinks and pathos ensue...
For that matter - read everything by scifigrl47, then listen to the podficced versions of her stories.
I read the first fic of the Tales of the Bots series a while ago and I have no idea why I didn't continue reading the rest of the series. Is Dummy like a small boy in the fic or is he like a teenager?
I'll give those fics a try. Is there anything I need to know before reading because I don't know much about the comics?
DJ starts out around four-ish, but thru the series ages up to teen. I also know very little of the comic world and had no problems keeping up.
Omg yessss. Tale of the Bots is so, so good too! I would pretty much recommend anything of hers tbh. I might give the podficced versions a try!
Both Tale of the Bots and Toasterverse are set within the MCU, so it's pretty easy to follow! 3 of the other fics I recommended above are set in the 616 universe; I read them without knowing much about the comics, and enjoyed them still.
RESURRECTION VERSE AKA MY LIFE AND SOUL
Right?! Idk how many times I've read that.
I love Belief Space SO MUCH. And RRR, obviously :D

Our Weight In Gold (http://archiveofourown.org/works/2904038/chapters/6471086) by ann2who
Underground (http://archiveofourown.org/works/835768/chapters/1591539) by Margo_Kim
Smaller Without You (https://archiveofourown.org/works/2903630) by 27dragons
Just to add a few more :)
Thanks! I love Smaller Without you! I think that was one of the first soulmate fics I read and I completely adored it.
I've never seen Underground. Or maybe I have and just completely scrolled by it. I'll have to give that one a try since you rec'd it.
I absolutely adore that one! Hope you enjoy it :)
UNDERGROUND is really, really, REALLY good! I can wax poetic all damn day about that story!!!
Thanks for the shout-out! I'll add:
Bond Has It Covered (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1104870/chapters/2222735) by sara_holmes
In the Stillness of Remembering (http://archiveofourown.org/works/557155/chapters/993923) by elise_509.
Good for You (http://archiveofourown.org/works/6093591/chapters/13967610) by orbingarrow
Think of This as Solving Problems (That Never Should Have Occurred) (http://archiveofourown.org/works/5451815) by sineala
As Sharp As Any Thorn (http://archiveofourown.org/works/725234) by RurouniHime
I'm gonna start with Good For You since I have never read that one before. Question: am I gonna cry?
I'm the worst person to ask, because I'm not a crier. I don't think so? I mean, there are definitely some emotional parts, but happy ending and all that!
Okay cool. Thanks for the rec!
