Can I ask for 124, 33 or 129, whichever you haven't done or whichever takes your fancy, please
Let's go for 124!
--
Steve wiped his sweaty palms on his jeans. He hadn't seen Tony since they'd broken up a few months ago. If he was honest with himself, he'd been planning to never see him again. He'd turned down parties if he knew Tony would be there, ducked out of rooms if he saw him unexpectedly, and one time, he'd even climbed out the bathroom window to keep from coming face to face with him. But Pepper and Natasha had finally proposed to each other, and he knew that Tony was going to be heavily involved on Pepper's side, and Natasha expected him to be involved as well, so.
So he wanted to face Tony on his terms, before Pepper and Natasha got deep into wedding planning. That way, they wouldn't have to stress about he and Tony getting along, and neither of them would have to be met with, 'did one of your best men climb out a window and leave?' at their wedding. And if he wanted to do it on his terms, he had to do it now, before they started touring venues and going to tastings, so he finally took a deep breath and knocked.
The door opened a few minutes later, just a crack, and one bleary brown eye blinked up at him. "Steve?"
"Tony," Steve answered, then took a deep breath, ready to launch into the speech he'd prepared on the way over. He stopped, though, when Tony didn't open the door any further, and he took a moment to really take in the whole picture.
Just from the sliver of him visible in the door, Tony looked... tired. Like Steve had just woken him up. He fought the urge to check his watch. It was two in the afternoon. Natasha had said that Pepper had mentioned that Tony had started using his sick days and not shown up at work a few days each week. Steve hadn't thought much of it--he knew Tony had a weak immune system ever since his open heart surgery--but now, looking at him, he remembered how it had been a fight to get Tony to stay in bed and off his tablet when they'd been together.
"...Steve?" Tony asked, and now concern had settled into his voice. He opened the door a little wider, so Steve could see his whole frown, his furrowed brows. "Are you okay?"
Steve blinked. Was he okay? He opened his mouth, almost certainly to tell Tony he was fine, but as he took in more details now that he had more of a view of Tony, all that came out was, "Are you wearing my shirt?"
Tony's eyes went wide, and he made a sort of... noise. Dismay, or alarm, or... Steve couldn't parse it. He was too focused on the dingy ARMY t-shirt Tony was wearing, the one he always complained about because 'first and foremost this is an air force house!' and because it was old and worn and couldn't he at least please buy Steve a new one so it looked clean out of the wash. It hung off one of Tony's shoulders, showing off a bare stretch of skin, a sharp collarbone. He'd lost weight.
"Okay bye," Tony said, voice coming out in a frantic rush, and moved back a step so he could slam the door shut.
Steve caught it just before he could, and there was a dull ache in the back of his hand where it mashed into the door jamb, but he'd worry about it later. "You fucking hate that shirt," he blurted out. He pushed the door open and followed Tony inside, only dimly aware that this was now technically an invasion into Tony's home. "You wanted to throw it away the entire time we were together."
Tony retreated another step, hands fisting in the fabric as if he could use it as a shield. "It doesn't mean anything, Steve. Stop... stop reading into it," he said, but he couldn't keep eye contact, instead turning his gaze to the floor.
"No," Steve answered, gripping his hands into fists. He noticed Tony's eyes darting toward them and very deliberately made them relax again, feeling hollowed out. He knew he wasn't the one who had put that fear into Tony, but it didn't make him feel any better, especially when he realized he'd just busted into Tony's space when Tony had been trying to close him out of it. He took a deep breath, then let it out slowly. "Just tell me why you're wearing my shirt."
"I can give it back," Tony started, voice flat.
Steve cut in over him, fighting desperately not to shout as he answered, "I don't fucking want the shirt back Tony. I want to know why you're wearing it when we both know you hate it."
Tony turned, just slightly, as if he hoped not facing him directly would help even a little. "You... left it," he finally answered when Steve didn't budge. His voice halted and paused awkwardly, as if he was also hoping Steve would take pity on him and accept that meager explanation, even though they both knew he wouldn't. "I thought... you were punishing me. Because you knew I hated it. So I put it on to prove I didn't care. And it. Still smelled like you. So. I couldn't stop putting it on."
It broke Steve's heart. He'd kind of known it would, though. "I didn't leave it to punish you, Tony. I left it so you could finally have the satisfaction of throwing it away."
Tony turned to look up at him again, eyes wide and wet. He looked more hurt than when they'd broken up. "Just because I complained about it all the time doesn't mean I would have actually thrown it out, Steve. I wouldn't have thrown away any of your things."
"It didn't feel like it," Steve had to admit. "You... complained about a lot of my things. Clothes especially. To the point that I made it a habit to check the garbage before I threw it down the chute."
Tony's shoulders fell. He looked so lost. "I'm sorry," he finally whispered, looking at the floor again. "I thought it was like when you complained about how much I worked. You knew that wouldn't change and complained, so. I did the same thing. I thought... I thought it was banter, I guess. Teasing."
"Looking back, I'm sure it was," Steve offered, but Tony shook his head, hand coming up to cover his mouth, so he figured it didn't really help. He couldn't help taking a step closer to him. "You liked that it smelled like me?"
Tony sucked in a wet breath. "Well. I missed you."
"I missed you too," Steve admitted, carefully taking another slow step closer.
"You climbed out a window to get away from me," Tony choked out, then sniffed wetly and covered his mouth again.
Steve came closer, almost within arm's reach. "I knew if I saw you, I'd embarrass both of us begging you to take me back."
"You wouldn't have had to beg," Tony started, turning to face him, and jumped a little when he saw how close he was.
Steve reached out to catch his shoulders before he could back away again, pulling him in against his chest, and Tony made a soft, wounded noise as he greedily leaned in, hiding his face in Steve's chest. Probably to hide the fact that a few tears had broken loose, but Steve was kind enough not to mention it; his eyes felt a little hot and damp, too.
"I don't even remember why we broke up," Steve murmured into Tony's hair. "I've missed you every fucking day since I moved out. I just want to see you in my shirts all the time."
"You shouldn't come back," Tony whispered back. "The shirt affect will wear off, and then you'll just be stuck with me."
Steve scowled, but he was glad Tony couldn't see it. "I wouldn't be stuck with anything. I didn't say I missed seeing you in my shirts. I said I missed you. All of you, even the most frustrating parts of you. I'd love you even if you decided you were only going to wear snowsuits from now on."
Tony leaned back, unable to help but sob out, "You still love me?"
"It's impossible not to love you, Tony," Steve promised, lifting his hands to cradle his flushed face and tip him back for a kiss.

There's nothing sweet about how Steve loves Tony.
He loves him viciously. Like a serpent loving a sweet lie. Like a bolt of lightning loving a lone standing tree. His love for Tony never simmers, only burns until Tony is left gasping and whimpering, raw and aching for more.
Steve loves Tony. It is easy to see. Enough that even their enemies take notice.
It worries the team. It worries Natasha when she sees Steve behead Ivan Vanko with the shield.
"That's a bit much," she notes when Captain America kicks Hammer's lose and limp body, wrinkling his nose in disgust when the man groans in pain.
Steve looks at her. And it's here she remembers him as the man who woke up like a beast. Roaring and snarling at everyone. Seeing enemies all around him until the numbness of grief settled in his veins. His eyes show the rage of a man who's lost one life, and is now on the verge of losing another.
"I thought you were with Potts."
The memory of a soft, subtle rose makes her smile.
"She's fine." Natasha made sure of it. "I'm here about Fury."
"Your boss, you mean."
"My boss," she agrees, checking for any stray henchman. "He's got something that could slow down Tony's... Condition."
"What's the hold up then," Steve doesn't ask. He just squares his shoulder, already catching in on her implications. It's part of the reason she's chosen to work with him for so long. They don't need to speak to know each other's motives.
In this instance, Steve already knows what she does. Fury won't help Tony. Not unless Tony Stark builds Shield something useful. Or becomes Shield's issued collar around Cap's neck.
"Tell me everything."
Years later, Clint would ask her what made her turn her back on Shield, on Phil. She would be looking at Pepper when she speaks. But her answer would be Steve Rogers and his untamed, unchecked wanting for a dying man.

Summary: The five times Natasha relieved Pepper’s stress and the one time Pepper relieved Natasha’s.
Adagio (ao3) - Lurkz T, 31k
Summary: It was supposed to be just an assignment. Falling for the person she was supposed to protect wasn’t really in the plan. But when do plans ever stay the same?
A Dangerous Sentimentality (ao3) - flamingsword M, 10k
Summary: Natasha’s friendship with Pepper Potts is becoming more intimate than she remembers agreeing to, but as a product of the Red Room, her memory has always been suspect.
Broken Toes & Heavy Heads (ao3) - askmeaboutmyoctopustheory, betheflame G, 5k
Summary: Queen Virginia Anne of Antelondia is exhausted and overwhelmed since the death of her husband and takes a covert trip to New York to see the Russian Ballet perform Swan Lake. A chance meeting the next day with the prima ballerina, Natasha Romanova, changes her life forever.
Fire Water Burn (ao3) - Amy T, 2k
Summary: "You were kidnapped because someone wanted to carve out your heart and send it as a Valentine's Day present to your boyfriend," Natasha says.
"Is this going to be a conversation about the caliber of supervillains we're getting these days, or about the fact that they thought Tony was my boyfriend?"
Fractures (ao3) - Tamoline M, 19k
Summary: Everyone has weaknesses, faults, flaws, fractures.
The things they're not quite rational about.
The things that inform their every action.
The things that can be used against them.
From Russia With Love (ao3) - scarredsodeep G, 11k
Summary: Pepper Potts is sick and tired of being pestered about her love life by her boss, of all people. It starts with one small lie: "I'm seeing someone." Next thing she knows, Pepper's signing up for texts from a fake boyfriend. Next thing after that, she's ENJOYING them. And Pepper's not the only one lying--the charming Alex Roman she's been texting goes by another name: Natasha Romanova...
Like Home (ao3) - santanico G, 640
Summary: Pepper/Natasha, "safe spaces"
Lockdown (ao3) - Kay (sincere) T, 2k
Summary: Natalie Rushman was designed to be a lot of things, and most of those things were designed to catch the interest of her surveillance target; but she can be anything Natasha needs her to be, or even just wants her to be. That's the good part about working for SHIELD. The bad part... the bad part is that some of the things she wants will hurt the very people she wants to come out of this intact.
Shallows (ao3) - Lise T, 3k
Summary: A good assistant's hard to find. Natalie Rushman from legal is - well - certainly not a bad one.
Solstice, Inc. (ao3) - Kangofu_CB, vextant T, 22k
Summary: Natasha wakes up in a room with no memory. In the next few days, she will join an agency determined to save the world; she will travel through time, to the past, to the future; and she will fall in love.
Maybe even in that order.
Something Different (ao3) - tsukinofaerii E, 25k
Summary: Roughly a year after the events at the Stark Expo, Pepper's "stable-ish" relationship with Tony has deteriorated into more —ish than stable. Tony has been keeping secrets, and he's brought home a mystery blond who occupies all his time—including the time he should have been using for work. While holding things together, Pepper finds herself getting much, much closer to Natalie. But Natalie may be hiding a few secrets of her own.
Something Unexpected (ao3) - Grimmalie T, 2k
Summary: Pepper Potts and Natasha Romanov have both been spun around by love until, somehow, they find themselves in one another's arms.
So Much For Taking A Break (ao3) - Swan_Secrets E, 1k
Summary: Pepper and Natasha are sparing. This leads to sexytimes.
The Carnival Committee (ao3) - orphan_account T, 50k
Summary: Pepper Potts has been elected as Student Body Vice President for her senior year. Excited to work with her best friend, Tony Stark, and the rest of the leadership council, they go into the first task of the year- to pull off homecoming week- with a cut and dry attitude. And that is exactly how it goes, especially when Pepper has as great of an assistant and girlfriend as Natasha Romanoff by her side. That is, until everything the duo plans becomes as far from cut and dry as an event can get.
Peptasha HS!AU
The Eye of the Storm (ao3) - all_soul G, 6k
Summary: Pepper Potts gets a new assistant. A very overqualified assistant that she is definitely not attracted to. Definitely.
The Inevitable (ao3) - ThisChairIsMyHomeNow E, 24k
Summary: “So I’m Pepper’s bodyguard?” Natasha clarified.
“A bodyguard to the Earth’s— no, the galaxy's— most beloved hero’s family,” Fury corrected.
“No offense, but I’m a little overqualified for protection detail. Unless there’s something you’re not telling me.”
“There always is, Romanov."
Viva La (ao3) - gyzym M, 2k
Summary: Natasha is War; Pepper's always been Pepper. The end of the world isn't nearly so old-school as it once was.

Unfortunately, Pepper and Tony have been in each other's lives long enough to rub off on each other.
--
Steve didn't think that Tony and Pepper should be looking so morose after Natasha had helpfully pulled Pepper's shirt back down. Everyone was being very polite about having gotten an eyeful of Pepper's lacy red bra after her undershirt had gotten caught in the sweater she was taking off. Sometimes embarrassing things happened! They'd all forget about it in a few days. A few hours, maybe, for some of them.
"I don't understand," Steve heard Tony moaning, which seemed very strange, considering he had been blathering on about the clinging power of fabric as Pepper blinked, stunned, while Natasha walked away. "It's the Red Bra of Justice. Natasha should have been knocked out instantly."
"HUH," Steve bellowed, spinning on his heel. He didn't even try to pretend he hadn't been listening.
Tony and Pepper blinked at him, stunned. Finally, Tony put his hands on his hips, shoulders straight as he earnestly answered, "The bra. Natasha should have been overcome with lust and finally ask Pepper out."
"HUH," Steve bellowed again, and only then did Pepper start to blush, mortification flooding over her face. "WAS THAT A NORMAL THOUGHT FOR YOU."
"...Sexy and helpless has always worked before," Tony offered helplessly.
Steve didn't know what to do in response. No words came. A lot of feelings did, though. He let out what Clint had once called "an emotional outlet of speechlessness not unlike a pterodactyl screech."
"Oh my god I can't believe I flashed the whole team trying to get Natasha to ask me out," Pepper gasped, burying her face in her hands. "Why did that seem like a good idea. Tony, I'm resigning immediately and moving to Alaska."
"I will get plastic surgery and disappear forever if you make me CEO again," Tony said, in a way that made it clear he meant it. "Also it worked on me, and I'm not even a spy who makes a living reading emotions." He eyed Pepper skeptically. "Maybe red is just too much my color. We should put you in black. More lace, too. This time we'll manufacture a more intimate setting. Natasha will definitely jump your bones then."
Steve's brain finally caught up with him. "This was all to get Natasha to ask Pepper out?"
"Well she hasn't picked up on any of our other hints!" Tony snapped, crossing his arms over his chest. "I'm dying here, Steve. Pepper's bad at asking people out."
"SO ARE YOU," Steve bellowed furiously.
Tony gasped, offended. "Excuse me? I asked Pepper out all the time. I got her a martini with seven olives."
Pepper swiveled to stare up at him, aghast. "You thought getting me a martini with seven olives was asking me out?"
"You only asked for five," Tony explained, offense fading to confusion. "I was proving I could go above and beyond."
Tony had once come up with a dozen new flavors of Super Serum-specific protein smoothie when Steve had just asked for one. Steve let out another screech. Had that also been flirting?! He was going to throw Natasha off the roof. She'd said Tony was just friendly. Then again, Pepper had been (badly) trying to seduce her and she hadn't noticed, so.
"JARVIS, tell Natasha to meet me on the roof," Steve said, turning to head for the elevator. Maybe he'd cool down by the time he got there. Maybe he'd actually try to chuck her. In any case, he was going to have words. He'd been pining for Tony for months and apparently he'd been giving off fuck-me vibes in his own special, Tony Stark way, and neither of them had noticed.
Worst case scenario, he could always throw himself off the roof, too.

Thinking about two sides of a character being in a hetero relationship but realising they're in love with someone else.
We have Steve and Sharon, their general angsty yelling and fights and arguments. The explosive way their relationship ends when Sharon realises she wants to prioritise her career over a man who is so obviously in love with someone else. Steve realising "omfg I am in love with Tony" after years of his friends trying to subtly hint him about it, then sulking because "Oh no, I can't do that. Tony is so happy with Pepper"
Meanwhile there's Tony and Pepper, genuinely happy and giggling and being the "cool" couple who point at attractive people and flirt with others openly, shamelessly. And people obviously mistake this as their relationship being safe and secure. But the truth comes one night when Pepper is flirting with Nat, has actual butterflies in her tummy. Then there's Tony who's wondering when was the last time Pepper and Tony had normal sex without bringing up any other name or person in the middle of their "foreplay".
The next day, the gang is sitting and listening to Steve mope about how perfectly happy Tony is in his relationship and there comes Tony, announcing his break up with Pep because "turns out we were just besties who fuck" and "I don't think we were actually in love, we just believed it when the world told us that we were"
At the end of it all Nat's raising her hand like "does that mean I'm free-" and Tony's giving her a go before she even finishes the sentence
