Fic Summary: When World War II finally catches up to the United States, Tony has to fight the military, his friends, and his own feelings in order to keep a promise he made to himself: Take care of Steve.
Author's Notes: I owe more thanks than I can possibly express to Inoshi for her wonderful beta job, especially at short notice. She kept me very much on the right path for characterization and story flow. This story is a direct (noir-side) sequel to Indelible and I've been assured that it makes much more sense if you read that story first.

I was lucky enough to have two wonderful artists do artwork for this story:
Link to Art: angel_inoshi’s artwork is here, and taiyou_to_tsuki’s artwork is here. Please go and tell them how amazing they are.
Link to Fic: AO3

There's also a fanmix for the story, over this way.

(Mods, may I please have a tag for Taiyou? There doesn't seem to be one. :( Thanks!) Thank you. :)

Title: What Lies Inside
Author: penumbren
Artist: xsilverdreamsx
Beta: jadedoll
Fandom: Marvel Comics (The Avengers)
Characters: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark, Jan Van Dyne, Hank Pym, Thor
Rating: Explicit
Content: A fair bit of angst, a lot of UST, abuse of Middle English, comic book violence and the death of a villain, and mentions of the off-screen death of a secondary character. Oh, and werewolves. And an explicit mating scene.
Word Count: 21,808
Disclaimers: None of them belong to me, sadly. I only borrow Disney’s Marvel’s characters so that I can treat them better than their owners do.
Summary: When the Avengers discover Captain America in the Arctic sea, they find more than just a new team member: Tony Stark discovers his fated mate. The problem is, Steve Rogers is a man out of his own time and apparently straight, and Tony's not about to force anything on the man he loves--even if it means his own death. Besides, Tony's spent his entire life keeping secrets. How can he possibly tell Steve that he's really Iron Man, let alone a werewolf?
Author’s Notes: This was largely inspired by all of the paranormal romance I spent the first half of this year reading. If you think you see anything (worldbuilding, cliches, references) familiar to you from that sort of writing... you're right. The title comes from the lyrics to "Iron" by Within Temptation.

Many, many thanks to Jade for being such a terrific beta. Without her, there would have been even more typos and even less coherence. Also, Tony would have been flailing mindlessly even more than he does. More thanks than I can even express to SD for the amazing, gorgeous artwork! Everyone should go look and admire: Not only did she do the main poster, but she did bonus artwork of the three main characters, divider artwork for each section, icons, and made a wonderful fanmix!

I'm cross-posting my scifibigbang story here, as I hope it may be of some slight interest to you all. :)

Title: Goodbye (To Yesterday)
Author name: penumbren
Artist name: perletwo
Beta name: niki_chidon
Media Link: deviantArt
Word Count: 25,915
Fandom: Marvel Comics (The Avengers)
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Jan Van Dyne, Hank Pym, Thor, Red Skull, Loki
Genre: Adventure
Summary: On Earth-9810, Sorcerer Supreme Tony Stark investigates an alien energy disturbance, runs into a group of friendly superheroes, and discovers a living legend. Then the villains of the piece show up for revenge and try to take what they consider theirs.
Warnings: Slashy hints, some cursing, comic book violence, (very brief) references to rape and torture, and mentions of the off-screen death of a secondary character.
Author’s Notes: The Lesser Book of the Vishanti, compiled by catherine yronwode, was absolutely invaluable. It’s an amazing resource, and I’m very glad the author made it freely available online. Some of the spells in this story were taken from her compilation. A few were made up by me. The overall magic style is a blend of what I’ve seen in Marvel comics, White Wolf’s Mage system, and my own imagination.
Disclaimers: None of them belong to me, sadly. I only borrow Disney’s Marvel’s characters so that I can treat them better than their owners do.
