★ Afterglow by KandiSheek for xWinterDreamsx (MCU, 1308 words)
Steve had thought that it would feel more surreal, but in the early morning light, it seemed like the most natural thing in the world. Grass was green, the sky was blue, and Steve had slept with Tony Stark. Life was good.
★ Against All Arrangement by CapsicleRogers for wylanllupin (MCU, 28753 words)
When Tony's late father arranges for him to marry Captain Steve Rogers—the man's perfect alpha protégé—Tony is furious. This is just Howard's final attempt to control him, to prove an omega can't rule alone, to breed "superior" alpha genetics into the Stark line. The sex is incredible, but Tony refuses to let it mean anything. Suddenly he's pregnant, attracted, and convinced Steve's devotion is just dutiful performance.
Steve on the other hand has loved Tony for years, but has no way or to truly prove it to Tony, who resists every attempt. But Steve is patient and careful, hoping not to live out the rest of his marriage heartbroken, but he has no idea how to prove that his feelings are genuine. Through illness, danger, and resisting themselves, will Steve finally convince Tony of the truth? Will Tony be able to admit that he's been falling for Steve all along?

★ I heard the risk is drowning (but I'm gonna take it) by wylanllupin for Reioka (MCU, 14814 words)
"The bond between people makes everything more magical than being strangers."
It sounds lovely, of course it does. That's why there are so many books, films and songs about it, still doesn't mean Tony can — or should, for all that matters — have something like that. He doesn't deserve it, no matter what Steve says. "Yeah, sure… whatever."
He thought the argument was over, but then Steve proposes an idea. "I bet I can prove to you that having a relationship is better than having new flings every day."
And that just sounds ridiculous.
or; In Tony's line of work, relationships are wishful thinking. He's fine with a fling here and there, but somehow his co-worker, leader, and somewhat friend, Steve Rogers seems to disapprove of Tony's lifestyle. He proposes an idea; them dating for ten days, to prove Tony how much better a committed relationship is compared to flings and that he deserves this love. Thinking it is a joke, he agrees, but having Steve as his Alpha is more than he ever dreamed of... but it's not real. At least not for Steve, right?

★ if you really hold me tight by ishipallthings for SomeSortofItalianRoast (MCU, 2670 words)
As Steve has learned countless times since waking up from the ice seventy years into the future—even great plans can go awry. A sudden storm on their drive has now left him and Tony finding refuge at a slightly run-down motel for the night to wait out the storm.
To make matters worse (or better), they’re not the only ones stranded here by the unexpected storm. Which is why they’ve ended up in a room with only one bed—for the both of them.

★ i was thirsty, and you wet my lips by Thahire for Cap Iron Man Community (MCU, 2429 words)
Steve thinks about it. Thinks about breaking out of his calm headspace he’s in, getting up to use the bathroom, wash his hands, get back into it. It’s too much. He can’t risk it. He has waited too long for this moment.
And it’s not like he minds the dull pressure in his gut. The opposite, even. He experimentally tenses his stomach muscles and jerks when a shiver zaps through him and jostles his full bladder. It takes him a moment to find his bearings after the feeling passes, pulse rushing in his ears.
After some deliberation, he shakes his head. "I’m fine. I’ll wait."

“I watched you die,” Tony says, quietly. “You had a funeral.”
Steve snorts. “You didn’t even care enough to give a speech. You’re only brave behind closed doors, crying over my body like a coward.”
That’s when Tony’s strength gives out, exhaustion leaking into his joints now that the adrenaline has nowhere left to go. He sinks to his knees.

“You’re offering to give me a serum-enhanced suppository, with your dick. It’s going to be a little magical.” Tony grinned at Steve’s flustered blush. Years later, and he could still get Cap’s panties in a twist.
Tony forced his fists to unclench, because when had that happened? Albeit, having the guy you’d been in love with for a decade offer to heal you with his state-protected semen was due a little anxiety.

Why are you being so—determined—about this? Yes, okay, if the situation was different I’d honestly be thrilled if Steve was jealous and wanted me—but I am with you. I want you. So it’s moot. Pointless. Irrelevant.”

or
”What will it be, Steven Rogers?" asked the man in green. "True love? Absolute power? What is your heart’s desire?”
Right now, Steve's heart desired this commercial transaction to end. He wanted to sell the guy his paperweight and get him out of the shop. The man was obviously crazy, and Steve definitely hadn’t told him his name, so how did he know it?
“Don’t trouble yourself with the details,” the man said breezily, as if Steve had spoken aloud. “What about riches, Steven? Mortals always like riches. Do you desire riches?”
“Well, sure, I guess, but I’d settle for sixty plus tax.”

★ We're All Born Naked, The Rest is Made Masterpieces by iron_and_cum (sex_and_cum) for Alice216 (616, 51097 words)
This is the life.
It is 1987. Steve Rogers is two years unfrozen into a political landscape that looks nothing like it was when he plunged into oblivion's beyond. There's a man in the White House who speaks in the tongue of certain death, he lives in a mansion on Fifth Avenue he once used to pass with his belly empty, and the easel gifted to him months ago sits unboxed, unused.
He used to think it was all... not fixable, but manageable. That people could live and exist and just be in peace if they all tried to mend what’s been broken these past few millennia or more – like that's not a tall order itself – or that at the very least, they could build a world where everyone striving towards better would be bolstered and those who wanted worse would be left behind in the dust.
And that’s the dream, isn’t it? That’s the dream. Dreaming is good. Steve dreams every night. He dreams of joy. He dreams of happiness and simpler things.
But, this is not a dream.
This is the life.
And life is not so simple.
All it takes is one voice - and one man's song - to change everything.
