OK, my bad that I didn't read the posting instructions to Big Bang and just posted the story on Ao3. It's a good thing my artist/partner, Meere, did and advised me that I need to also post in the LJ community. Our chosen posting date is November 24, so I apologize for the one-day delay posting here. Regardless... here it is, y'all. I hope you all enjoy the story as well as the beautiful art.

Fic Summary:
The Players - Steve Rogers is a conservative, introverted, socially awkward, dog-loving, stick-to-one romantic, who is a staunch believer in long-term relationships after having been a part of one for three years, and living next door to him is new tenant, Tony Stark, a philandering, fuck-anything-that-moves, confident, sarcastic, cat-loving, self-made Lothario whose relationships are about as lengthy and as meaningful as a fellatio (literally speaking).
The Players - Steve Rogers is a conservative, introverted, socially awkward, dog-loving, stick-to-one romantic, who is a staunch believer in long-term relationships after having been a part of one for three years, and living next door to him is new tenant, Tony Stark, a philandering, fuck-anything-that-moves, confident, sarcastic, cat-loving, self-made Lothario whose relationships are about as lengthy and as meaningful as a fellatio (literally speaking).
The Challenge - Steve will go on dates, getting tips and tidbits from Tony to be able to get back in the dating scene while Tony will abstain from any and all sexual activity (including masturbation) for thirty days.
The Incentive - A no-strings-attached one-night-stand between the socially awkward romantic and the philandering Lothario.
Can Tony follow through on his challenge despite all of the naysayers? Can Steve change Tony's mind about love and relationships? What is in store for them around the thirty-day bend: self-discovery? Deep abiding friendship? Love, perhaps?
