Nobody tells you that 90% of being a fic writer is telling yourself sternly that you CANNOT start a new wip until you finish one of the old ones, and then failing to write anything at all as your brain sulks like a toddler.

new tag game: the thing you most often pretended to be as a kid—whether it was a horse, a bride, a queen, a specific character, a knight, a lawyer, a baby, anything—is symbolically representative of you currently. what is it for you?

:O There is a stony fic rec website?
@sabrecmc has a blog @sabrecmcstonyficrecs that we ported to a website about six months ago to keep it both safe and free from the shit that is tumblr™
It lives here: https://www.sabrecmcstonyficrecs.festiveferret.ca/ 90% of the rec list posts have been saved to the site directly and 10% are the original lists that are still on sabre's main blog that are in the process of being ported over as well (but are linked to from the site).
If tumblr goes up in flames, you can still get your fic rec fix! ❤

It's been some time, and now I want a deconstructed/reconstructed 2012 Avengers fic. Only it's 2018, and they are living together in the Compound instead of the Tower, only no one is together and everyone is badly depressed.
Tony is back from space, he's devastated by everything, he never married Pepper, and he and Steve never really made up. Steve is dividing his time between the Compound and NY, trying to be useful, but he can't live with what happened. Maybe they are being very unhealthy fuck buddies that never talk. Natasha is trying to run the Avengers to keep her highly dysfunctional family together, but she's falling apart too. Perhaps they find Clint earlier. Perhaps they get Bruce to come over too, at least part time. He can't make his peace with (what happened with) Natasha and he can't come to terms with who he is now. Perhaps Thor spends some of his time there as well, chugging beer and playing video games and. Everyone is majorly fucked up, and they are barely talking to each other, and when they try, they fight.
They still have movie nights.

eastern/central european things:
an internet friend: omg you should watch this movie, it's on netflix. *narrator voice*: but alas it was not on netflix
ugly ass trains
listening to non-europeans talk about communism/socialism and dying inside because of the worrying amount of misinformation. public healthcare is not communism. stalinism is not marxism. personal property is not private property.
the "who actually started ww1" debate
"[insert country] doesn't exist"
hearing a loud shriek at 2 am
far right governments
grandpa talking about the war again
dumplings
this guy:
Tumblr media
and these bad boys:
Tumblr media
also alcoholism at the ripe age of 13
those women who sell perfume at the train stations... there's so many of them... how... why perfume...
walking in the capital and seeing bullet holes in the buildings because they've been left untouched for 70 years

Cap-IM Rec Week 2021 (Sat)
Something New Saturday, July 24: Which gems have you fallen in love with or enjoyed over the last year for @cap-ironman Rec Week.
Here are some awesome gems I’ve loved - do check out my bookmarks for more. This is a long list :)
Remember to show some love for your hard-working creators!
Just One Look (And I Can Hear a Bell Ring) by @snoozingcat
There are worse reasons to get married than being 35, still single, ready to have kids, and secretly in love with your friend. (WIP)
Urgent: Response Needed by Captain_Panda
Post-Iron Man 3 AU.
Tony wrecks a motorcycle. The bike is not the only thing in need of repairs.
[Intermission] by Captain_Panda
Endgame AU.
Fun party trick: disabling Tony’s reactor. Less fun party trick: restarting Tony’s heart, the hard way.
Breathing at the Same Time by softanticipation
The dust settles and the stones are returned, leaving Steve more aimless than ever. In a world that doesn’t seem to need him anymore, he eventually learns that purpose goes beyond war and love is more than just a four-letter word.
Featuring two halves of a road trip, sidewalk chalk, and a man with whom Steve never expected to share a pull-out couch.
space and time, separating me from where i want to be by softanticipation
Most men have a laundry list of regrets. Steve Rogers only has one, and he’s not telling just anyone what it is. It might take him the better part of two lifetimes to figure it out, but unlike most men, he gets the chance to make it right. After all, he’s lived it once; there’s no way in hell he’s letting Tony Stark die again.
Previously Thought to be Impossible by Impala_Chick
In 1970, SHIELD HQ was working on a powerful aphrodisiac prototype. Tony Stark from 2023 happens to cut open the wrong box at the wrong time, and Steve Rogers from 2023 doesn’t know how to feel about it.
A Coincidence called Fate. by captainstars
The first time Potts met Stevens, the man had come limping into the infirmary. His face was pale, but he held himself upright.
i almost fell right through (but i held onto you) by @hollyandvice
After six years of trying and failing to find Tony post-Endgame, Steve finally gets the news that there’s a chance to save him. The cost is steep, but Steve is willing to pay it. The only question is, is Tony willing?
An Orpheus and Eurydice style Endgame fix-it fic.
a perfect match by @ifmywishescametrue
Steve hates nights like this. He watches from the corner of the room while Tony flirts with some guy, a plastic cup clenched so tightly in his hand that it might break, and wonders why he even came to this party with him. He knows why, of course, because Tony asked if he wanted to and Steve never says no. Tony doesn’t even have to ask twice. One look is all it takes, and Steve would follow him anywhere.
But this is always how it goes - with Tony flirting with someone else while Steve desperately wishes it was him.
too close for comfort by @maguna-stxrk
It all started because Steve had looked so goddamn sad all the time.
your slightest look by stardating
Romance novels said that love was not supposed to be about suffering, or some other poetic lie. Clearly, none of those authors ever spent their days coughing up bouquets.
Taken Back by You by @gotthesilver
Steve is pretty sure if he holds a baby he’s going break them, and Tony being good with kids is making him Feel Things.
No Place to Go by @gotthesilver
Steve laughs softly, watching the lights from the tree play over Tony’s face, making his eyes seem even warmer than they usually are. He’s not an idiot, he’s lived with this low level attraction to Tony for years, but ever since Tony came back to the team it’s grown. After Ultron, Steve missed Tony without even realising it. He’d come visit, bringing new tech and uniforms, and stealing off Steve’s plate when they all ate, but it wasn’t the same.
And then Steve got kidnapped and Tony put the suit back on to lead the team in rescuing him.
Tony Stark vs. the Heteronormative Agenda by sweatervest
Or, five times the general public was determined to believe Steve Rogers and Tony Stark were just close friends, and the time Tony made sure they knew otherwise.
Out of Order by @elwenyere
After Tony and Steve hook up in the Tower elevator, both of them are totally cool with keeping it casual. Totally, totally cool.
love you to the moon (and to saturn). by @nethandrake
(Or Steve and Tony meet in kindergarten. Their lives will never be the same.)
The Gentleman’s Harlot by BladeoftheNebula 
Steve understood that his position in life meant they could never truly be together - he just hadn’t thought it would hurt so much to find out Lord Stark was engaged.
Always Coming Back to You by @the-vorkosigan
King Steve spots a mysterious knight on a battlefield and recognizes him immediately. Only, they didn’t part on the best of terms, and it’s been some time.
what i know about you (would fill a thousand books) by @iam93percentstardust
Here is what Tony knows about Sharon: she tells people she likes blueberry muffins because she thinks it makes her sound grown up, but she prefers chocolate donuts. She likes wildflowers and lilies and violets, but Queen Anne’s lace best of all and that’s what Natasha had brought her for their third date that had tipped her from liking this red-headed spy into loving her. On bad days, she curls up on the couch with the softest blanket she owns and watches old cartoons.
Oh, Gimme That Fire by Corsets_and_Cardigans 
Steve’s arm burned.
practice makes perfect by @starklysteve
Or, 69 times Tony proposes, and the one time Steve says yes.
Everybody Wonders (What It Would Be Like to Love You) by SoldiersShield
Or: Steve and Tony have been dancing around each other for a while now, and Steve’s rather content with it. Attending a gala together just might change that.
I would rather look at you than all the portraits in the world by @viudanegraaa
Cooking, he learned, was an art, and he was an artist.
Alternatively, Steve and Tony have no idea they’re dating. (616)
Red and Gold (Seeing Color but not Seeing What’s Behind the Mask Remix) by @navaan
Steve goes down in the ice regretting he never found his soulmate.
coming out by @ironswordandstarshield
Steve can’t stop touching Tony. Not just right now where they’re lying in his bed, Tony sleeping on his stomach, while Steve traces shapes into Tony’s back. No, he means outside of their room, when they’re around the rest of this new team of Avengers. (616)
when you are fallen by haemodye 
Tony and Steve have finally made up after Civil War. They’re friends again. It’s everything Steve wanted. It’s a pity, then, that Steve has to go and ruin everything by dying in Tony’s arms. It’s not a bad place to die. It’s not even the first time.
When Steve wakes up as a ghost—Tony’s personal haunting—he learns all sorts of things he’s sure Tony never wanted him to know. Chief among them: Tony’s been in love with Steve for a long time, and Steve’s apparently the last to know.
Steve’s been dead before, and it didn’t take. He’s determined to make sure that he comes back from this one. But first he has to convince Tony that he hasn’t gone mad from grief, and that Steve is here to stay.
[Podfic] JentheSweetie’s “And Time Can Do So Much” by @renton6echo
A few years after Steve moved permanently back in time, he started having conversations with Tony again.
Love Is A Masquerade [Podfic] by paraka
When the Avengers are invited to attend Tony Stark’s Annual Masquerade Ball, Steve’s hoping Iron Man will be there–after all, he can wear a mask and keep his identity secret. So when Steve recognizes Iron Man’s distinctive thighs, Steve is SO sure he’s found Iron Man’s pilot… He’s right, but not in a way Steve would ever have guessed… (616)
Hope you guys enjoy the recs, and stay tuned for more! Here is my tag for previous years’ rec lists.

Hello! Could you give me the permission to translate your fic “It’s what you choose that counts, in the end”? For the upcoming Halloween <3
Ohhhh, thank you so much, I’m flattered <3 I’m so sorry I didn’t see this on time - I’m... inactive in the fandom right now, due to... life. But, if you ever want to translate anything of mine in the future, feel free to! I give the blanket permission for that, so people can translate whatever they want as long as they credit me as the author. Thanks again for thinking of me.
