Hi everyone! I'm a relative newbie to this fandom, and I want to get into the comics as well as the films, starting with the Marvel Adventures: Avengers arc where everything is sunshine and rainbows and then getting into the main continuity (Ults sounds like it may be too depressing for my taste). What's a good place for me to start? I was thinking I'd begin with paperbacks rather than issue by issue. Also, if anyone knows the breakdown on what's in what paperback in MA:A that would be enormously helpful, because everything I've found is horribly vague.

TL;DR Can anyone help the new kid?

OK, I have a problem. I read this long fic a long time ago and don't remember where it is (or the title oops).

So the parts of the fic I remember:
  • A species of aliens invade Earth and take over, they round up all the scientists (and some civilians) and keep them isolated, Tony and Clint are among the captured. The aliens want the scientists to improve their tech and make them work, I think one scientist dies from radiation poisoning because the aliens didn't provide protective gear.
  • Tony befriends one of the alien scientists with the lure of Earth physics and science because the aliens don't have that knowledge?
  • I remember Tony and the other captives are beginning to develop scurvy because the food the aliens are giving them lack vitamins and minerals and that Tony adds smuggled salt packages into his coffee so he doesn't look like a junkie?
  • In the end it is Hank who saves the day because he realizes that the aliens are poisoned by salt water (something about minerals, which is why there isn't any in the scientist's food) so they/heroes/Hank poison the aliens water supply and promises the aliens that he will 'cure them' if they leave the planet
  • When the aliens leave Earth, Tony gives the alien!scientist he befriended with books about physics and science and stuff
Soooo uhhhhh THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR SOMEONE WHO RECOGNIZES THIS!

EDIT: FIC FOUND IN THE COMMENTS! YAY!

Due to a crossover which ate my brain, I have actual plot points in a Rat Patrol/Captain America crossover which has a good chance of going sideways and getting Tony involved.  Are there any fellow Rats who would be willing to bounce ideas around?

Fanfic Announcement!

 Tony/Steve(My newest obsession.) Fairy tale AU. “No idea for a title” (Help?)

 Idea: Basically Tony is this self centered business man, that gets pulled through a mirror and into the fairy tale world. Cue fairy tale references. In order to return home Tony has to play a part in every tale he comes across. Which he does because the idea of being trapped in a world without technology sucks. He ends up playing a part in the little mermaid, Little red ridding hood, etc etc. Along the way he learns to care more about others and falls in love with Steve Rogers(The Narrator/or maybe prince.. haven’t decided). 

*Note: All the other avengers will make appearances in the tales. I already have Sleeping beauty!Thor written. I regret nothin.

 So expect the first chapter soon guys! Now I just need a title.
*Also how do you really post fanfic here on livejournal? Me equals confused.

Hi, hi, how y'all doing? Me, I'm a little sick, but whatever. Let me tell you a story.

Once upon a time, Marvel and Disney merged, and as a result, when Tron: Legacy was released in theaters, someone was commissioned to draw legit, Tron!costumed covers for several comics, including Captain America.

Don't believe me? Check it out.


AWESOME, yes? They also did Spidey and Ghost Rider. But anyways! I saw this pic, and had a massive plot bunny burst to life in my brain. Unfortunately, because I am sick, the idea immediately dwindled into fragmented images, which I offer to anyone interested as an adoptable plot bunny.

Cut for length and possibly spoilers )
I now get on my hands and knees and BEG someone to write this little plot bunny of mine, because it would be SO COOL. I only wish there would be an actual Tron crossover.

And if anyone knows if similar prompts to this one have already been written, please rec them!

Thank you; I shall go lay down now and sleep my illness off. (And if this is out of line, I'll delete it.)

Hello,

could you guys maybe recommend me your favorite Steve/Tony series? I have a hankering, and I thought you guys would be willing to help.

I've already read All that Remains, MOTH, Heart of Steel and Resurrection, Reconstruction, and Redemption.

Any genre is fine, please.

I've been pondering the state of my livejournal layout for a while, and I've decided that while Leonard McCoy remains a BAMF sort of fellow, I need a change. To that end, since it's SUMMER and we're finally getting CAP on the big screen, does anyone know of the location of some good premade LJ layouts featuring Captain America, Marvel, Iron Man, Thor, or any combination thereof?

Delete if inappropriate, but I'm having a bully of a time finding anything lately.

Hi, im writng for the big bang fanfic exchange but i have a few questions about Tony, I read on wikipedia that he was braindead but now he´s back , but he has to use a arc reactor in his chest to survive even more than he had to before, and also use backup file´s to his brain not to forget everything and everyone he knows. So I wanted to ask how that works, and if he still need to download those backup files, it don´t seem very healthy.

Second of all, do anyone know when Tony´s birthday are? I know steve´s, its the 4 of july right? If i got that wrong please correct me.

And third, can anyone please consider becoming my beta reader?! My english grammar are terribly but i promise i will do my best to become better! And i don´t mind criticism, just tell me what I done wrong and I will do my best to learn from it. And if youre not allowed to ask this queston here I apolugise but I don´t know if it is forbidden  or not. I just wanted to take the oppoturnity ask when I was asking the other two questions. Please don´t be mad at me.

Please can some kind person answer atleast some of these questions? The one about Tony´s brain i myself se as the most important one for the moment.

Sooo, I went to re-read a favorite PWP, and found I had apparently not saved it. *pouts* It should be very recognizable, though, since it had some criminal (?) hitting Captain America with sex pollen (I recall some of the cops had been hit too) and at first Steve thinks he's not affected, but he ends up fucking Tony in his lab/workshop.

I checked the rules to make sure I could post this, and found nothing preventing it, so if I'm in the wrong, sorry.

Over the past few days, fueled by a Hogan's Heroes marathon and a LOT of slashfic reading, three plot ideas have wormed their way out of my brain, and I wanted to share them with any writers here in search of inspiration.

3 plots: a Green Hornet xover, a superidentity swap, and a tearful reunion of frozen WW2 heroes )

Have I sparked anyone's braincells yet? I really, REALLY want to see these ideas written. Gimme sommit soppy and lovely to read in the agony of waiting for July 22. (and someone tell me why the heck they're not releasing Captain America on July 4th! bah.)

EDIT: Had two more ideas that I don't think have been written - at least, if they have, I haven't found them.

Two more crossovers - Torchwood and Hogan's Heroes )

 Not really sure where else to ask so I'm asking here. Does anyone have any recs of Tony being outed as Iron Man? You know, like fics where no one knows his identity and they finally figure out that Tony Stark is Iron Man. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sorry if this is against the rules, I did read them but I may have missed it. My comic store has civil war in one hand hardbook. I want to read the parts after steve's death, that should be in it right? Also, what I'm worried about is moments that make me yell "no! you cannot beat up your best friend/boyfriend" and unfortunatly I've read a lot of things about this part that make me cringe. What do you think? How much of after steve death vs. steve and tony arguing was in this part of the comics?

Hi!  I've been working my brain around a college story, and I was wondering if anyone knew of any issues of Iron Man (or Avengers or Cap--anything!) that involved a flashback to Tony being in college?  Preferably 616.

Thank you!

So I watched 'Due Date' last night.  I enjoyed it, it wasn't the laugh-a-minute thrill ride that was 'Tropic Thunder', but RDJ didn't let me down.  It did however leave me with the burning desire to see a fic wherein Steve and Tony are on a cross country road trip-for whatever reason-and drive each other absolutely bonkers but love each other anyway. 

Anyone want to adopt this bunny?

Recs

Hey everyone!  My name's Fancy and I just recently became enamoured with this pairing.  Ive been a Marvel fan forever but somehow missed the gloriousness that is these two boys as a pairing.  As with most of my fandom-obsessions I dove in head first and have devoured any fic I can find.

And now I'm at a loss.

I read almost eveything at "Tales of Suspense" and most of the great fics on this comm, but I want MORE!

Does anyone have any recs for fics that they love?  or places hiding in the corners of the internets that hide quality fic?  I love long and plotty but adore short and steamy as well as anything in between.  I'm just not a huge fan of Mpreg though.  If anyone can help a bored fangirl let me know!

Thanks in advance.

I'm working on a 616/Iron Man Noir (7207) crossover fic for the reverse bang, and I'm looking for someone to beta it. I checked the beta lists here and on the reverse bang group, but Noir wasn't listed by anyone, so I'm asking here. :)

Thanks in advance!

(BTW, mods - we're going to need a Noir-verse tag. At some point. Just sayin'. ;)

When I was in Australia and devouring the Tales of Suspense and LJ's Steve/Tony archives, I read a fic.  OK, I read many fics.  But there was a line from this story:

"Years of penance, without Steve, had stretched forward before Tony."  Or something like, "Years without Steve, full of penance, had stretched forward before Tony." 

That was a terrible bastardization of that line (I'm sorry!).  But I'm dying to reread the story this line is from  I've looked through all the stories I saved on my iPod (and I swear I'll get to commenting on them someday), but I can't for the life of me find the origin of this line.  I can't even tell if it's a CW fix-it fic or just Tony angsting about the lack of Steve in his life, but I'm leaning towards the former.

Does anyone remember the story the line is from?

ETA: Thanks, [livejournal.com profile] penknife!  Foolishly I didn't look at the end of Resurrection, Reconstruction, and Redemption, only the beginning parts, because for some reason my brain thought the line was at the beginning.  Strange.  Oh well.  Now I feel so much better. *g*

I hope this isn't too much of a long shot!

I'm kind of looking for someone to role play some sweet Iron Man/Captain America with me.  Sort of like a round robin, except one of us is in charge of our respective characters.  Writing a story!

I'd love to play either Captain America or Iron Man, but note that I've only read the following:

--Tales of Suspense #39-65
--all of Warren Ellis' Iron Man: Extremis run
--Matt Fraction's The Invincible Iron Man, #1-25  (which just makes me sigh in despair, really)
--The Avengers, v1 #1-4
--New Avengers, v1 #1-11
--all of Marvel Adventures: Avengers, Iron Man, and Superheroes. *g*

Everything else about the Avengers, I learned from fandom!  OK, that was bad, but I've read a lot of wikis and gone through tons of scans (especially from that Slashy Moments list).  Probably the only reason I'm not writing fanfiction is because of the above--I've unfortunately not gone through enough fandom to really ground myself anywhere, which is why I'd like someone to help me develop Tony and Steve's characters in my brain more. 

I can play Tony or Steve; it doesn't really matter (I'm more familiar with Tony than Steve, but that's okay--need to be familiar with both sides of the coin, am I right?).  Bear in mind I can't handle anything too dark and would prefer something more on the light-hearted side of things.

We can do it in a variety of ways--over LJ and on AIM/MSN/other messenger are probably the easiest ways to do this.  It doesn't have to be too long-term, but I would like it to last.  We can hash out some sort of AU, or just a "getting together" type of story--anything is fine.  We can put our creative minds together!

OK, well, that's all I have to say.  I was never really any good at finishing. *sheepish*

I've actually got tons of music playlists dedicated to various aspects of Steve/Tony, but I figured I'd share a few Three Day's Grace songs that fit so awesomely I just couldn't contain myself.

Videos behind the cut so I don't get in trouble. Again. )

I challenge you all to either make some good fanvids or find some awesome Steve/Tony vids and post the links in the comments section.
