so did you guys know that an EMH storyboard artist drew steve and tony kissing or is this brand new information to you too? (somehow, finding out that he became a director on AA makes total sense.) timeldred.com/avengersemh/ #stevetony #cap-im
A storyboard page for the ending of Emperor Stark, Act 3 where Steve claps Tony on the shoulder and tells Tony he believes in Tony. A storyboard page for the ending of Emperor Stark, Act 3. First panel: Steve and Tony look into the sunset. Second panel: optional panel of Steve and Tony kissing with the text "Smooch!" at the bottom. Third panel: End

and lastly, an endgame stevetony ficlet featuring a pining steve inspired by fellow travelers for @lightsonparkave.bsky.social round 58. full ficlet on tumblr 🫶

www.tumblr.com/nostalgicats...
Little thing I worked on for @lightsonparkave round 58, inspired by this prompt. Every time I think of those two scenes in Fellow Travelers, my heart aches because Hawk and Tim didn't have many places outside where they could be together; Hawk is a careful man, but he let whimsy and romance take a hold of him and he took a photo of Tim; and Tim still had that photo decades later, years after he cut Hawk out of his life, angry, hurt, and fed up with him. I thought of Steve pining away for Tony during the years after the Snap, not knowing that Tony's anger had died down, that he still cared about Steve after everything. — They decline to stay. They had dropped in without notice, and it would be bad manners to impose further. Maybe not to Tony, who seemed to want them to stay, genuinely, but to his family. To a daughter who's her father's miniature, who looks at Steve, Natasha, and Scott with curiosity and a little imperiousness because they're not entirely welcome strangers to this land, to her kingdom. To Pepper, not present but close by, waiting for them to leave. Her absence is a solid presence on its own, impossible to ignore. There's no need for her to make an appearance when absence says everything there is to say. The dismissal and disapproval are dense enough that Steve can almost outline the shape of her, standing still in the depths of the house.

second "going with the flow" work for @lightsonparkave.bsky.social round 58. this features steve when he and tony part ways at the end of aou although the story's not necessarily aligned with my headcanon haha. full ficlet in link!

It's not fair to say that he thought it would last forever when he had one foot out the door the whole time. It's just...he thought there would be more time. It feels like they ended when they were just beginning. He had one foot out the door maybe, but when Tony came to him, only hours after SHIELD fell, and he said yes to Tony, said let's try it, give the Avengers a go, and saw the same smile that lit up Tony's face after the battle against the Chitauri appear again, he thought, yes, this was what it was supposed to be. This was the right path and he had chosen wrong before, chosen familiarity, chosen institutions and ghosts over what they could have been, over people and the here and now and reality and life, but he'd choose right this time. He'd choose right. Except he didn't because Tony was leaving.

I decided to write three things for @lightsonparkave round 58 today literally right before posting the round 59 prompt masterlist, so this and the next two works are unpolished! I wrote whatever came to mind, and I think the writing style reflects that. I may come back to this later or I may not, but it's nice to be writing again just for the sake of writing. This is inspired by "This Spring" by James A. Pearson and with Steve and Peggy's CA:TWS conversation in mind. No idea when this is set because there are some parts that reminded me of TWS Steve and some parts where I was thinking AoU and then Steve with the new Avengers. Like I said, I didn't really think this through much haha. — Some days, Steve thinks there's no saving this world. Cold, harsh, more destructive than he ever imagined possible, it was speeding at a relentless pace towards obliteration, alarm bells ringing for imminent suffering, imminent mass extinction, every other day. The end was near. The end was here. All the horrors of the war, once unprecedented nadirs of human depravity, now commonplace, now a push notification one could flick away in less than a second like dust that needed to be swiped off a screen, a video on some app to pretend to be affected by for a few seconds before scrolling and the next post, a funny, inane clip about nothing, auto-played.

YOU GUYS, remember that @marveltrumpshate.bsky.social Steve/Tony enemies-to-lovers fake relationship non-powered AU pod I made for softanticipation? THE FIC'S FINISHED! AND IT'S 83.6K WORDS LONG! I'm bursting from happiness. archiveofourown.org/works/623692...
Sexual Harassment Training softanticipation Summary: S.H.I.E.L.D. is just like any other alphabet organization. They've got underpaid employees with a poor work-life balance, a struggling Kevlar budget, and a cafeteria with enough drama to rival a high school. Oh yeah, and a brand new policy that promises to separate employees who dare to date within the same department. Tony Stark and his grudge against his big-headed team lead, Steve Rogers, can work with that.

it's been almost a week and this has lived rent-free in my head every day since i read it. i die of delight every time i think of it. the amount of chutzpah and the lack of fear??? (also, jeremy strong was actually 14 when this happened which makes this even funnier)

Thunder Hurried Slow (AU, 498 words)

Summary: As Steve stared at the storm clouds gathering in the distance, he knew that in life, some things remained the same and some things changed or disappeared completely.

He wondered which one Tony would end up being.

🧵 of all my fics (ao3: archiveofourown.org/users/nostal... | drabbles: nostalgicatsea.tumblr.com/tagged/my+wo...)
Steve Rogers is sitting down, drawing in his notebook, while rain falls behind him. He is wearing a brown coat over his USO tour Captain America uniform. A speech bubble says, "Fics by nostalgicatsea."
