Some Assembly Required, NC-17

Title: Some Assembly Required
Author: [livejournal.com profile] valtyr
Betas: [livejournal.com profile] dieewigenacht, [livejournal.com profile] truthiness_aura and [livejournal.com profile] cursor_mundi
Fandom: Marvel Adventures
Pairing: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark
Rating: NC-17
Wordcount: 58k
Contents/Warnings/Spoilers: Very general spoilers for MA:IM Armour Wars. Issues of consent involving not being fully informed about the person you're sleeping with, sex swap. A joke lifted from XKCD, which is footnoted at the end.
Summary: Tony Stark is trying to set up a new superhero team when he's given a sex change, courtesy of Victor von Doom. He copes with that about as well as you'd expect.
Notes: Marvel Adventures: Iron Man and Marvel Adventures: Avengers are supposed to be different continuities. This fic is an attempt to reconcile them; it's set after Marvel Adventures: Iron Man: Armour Wars and before Marvel Adventures: Avengers. Thanks to [personal profile] bee for early advice on the structure. Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] tsukinofaerii for help making the cover!

This. OMG, this. This story was great! I need to read it again. RIGHT NOW. Better, more coherent review to follow. Your characterizations were incredible, and they actually sounded human. I have never liked Steve more than I do in this fic. Guh!

That's a great cover, too!

You should put more of your stuff up over at AO3, so I could easily find it in the one place.

This was the best use of my evening in... well, ever. Seriously. Mostly just capable of squee right now, but I love how you captured the MA feel. (And OMG Doom. Brilliance!)

Not only did this story cause me to almost choke on my toothbrush, it's also the reason I was late for work today. ('Cos I just couldn't go to sleep until I'd finished and... yeah.) So, thanks a lot;P

No, seriously. I loved it. I have a newfound fondness for sexchange fics and I absolutely love revelation & coming out scenes and here there were so many wonderful different "coming outs" and I can't wait to get out of work so that I can go read it again.
