Dear Mystery Author...
Jul. 4th, 2015 06:39 amHere below there are one or some ideas for each tag, please use them or turn them in a different story, or ignore them if you don't like the ideas. Just a first time with happy ending that don't include any of my DNWs will make me happy if you can't do any of the following prompts, don't worry. :)
For any questions or specific requests, this post should be unlocked for anon comments.
James "Rhodey" Rhodes/Steve Rogers/Tony Stark
James “Bucky” Barnes/Steve Rogers/Tony Stark
James "Rhodey" Rhodes/Steve Rogers
AU - Ghosts
Something based on canon would make me happy, like: Tony dying, Steve mourning his death and, dunno, thinking of another chance lost again? Then Tony starting inhabiting his own IM suit to warn Steve of something? I'd love a plot twist to the end, where both are reunited either in form of spirits, to be together as ghosts or where Tony come back alive somehow (some magic? He wasn't really died, his body became incorporeal for some days/weeks? Sad endings make me sad for days, an happy ending would be perfect and appreciated! Bonus: Steve confessing something (up to you what it is about) over Tony's tomb/body, while Tony's hearing.
AU - Post-Apocalypse
Survival scenario in a post apocalyptic world! I'd love this one post movies, but I'm fine with the characters to meet for the first time in your story. It can just the two of them sticking together and searching for suvivors, trying to set a camp for survivors, or different scenario. One of them being hurt, the other assisting him in this desperate situation. I like the feeling of loss for a death Earth being sweetened by them being aware they aren't alone in this. First time or friends to lovers. Reciprocal comfort is welcome too.
AU - Prison/Penitentiary inmates
Alternate canon, where superpowered people are made wear collars that keep their superpowers at bay and then incarcerated, or mundane AU where they have been wrongly imprisoned for a crime they haven't committed (or they did?). It is a survival setting too, I love those. Your selected characters share the same cell, try to survive, comfort each other in the hell, and find love in the process, grim realty they are in notwithstanding. Sexy moments for mutual comfort purposes are welcome (but not needed of course). Non con, or mention of, are also fine with me. Steve can or cannot be skinny if you want.
AU - Soulmates
Anything will be great with this! But a favorite is when characters start off on the wrong foot and hate the revelation they are meant to each other, but then they slowly come around and fall in love, or realize they were in denial, or something like that. Happy ending of course!
AU - TRON fusion
One character as Tron and the other as human would be great!! I'd possibly prefer if this borrows the setting and the plot is yours original, rather than following the movie plot step by step. But I let to you the decision of what do. Or else, alternate canon where Rhodey and Tony are Iron Man and War Machine, but Steve (and Bucky) are Tony's (or someone else's?) programs and baddy tries to kill Tony (and Rhodey) but they get sent into the grid instead. I'd love if eventually Steve (and Bucky) leaves the grid to stay with Tony (and Rhodey).
Canon AU - Different First Meeting
It would be fun just mix this prompt with some identity porn, but. Well, I'll suggest some prompts. Like the classics: Tony is the one to find Cap into the ice. Or, Steve is found just around Iron Man 1 and so his first mission is to assist Rhodey to find and save Tony while he's still reeling for the loss of everyone and everything important to him. Or, twitching the canon, Steve is a modern military guy, no superpowers, and he's the one captured and kept in the caves together with Tony in place of Yinsen.
Canon AU - Identity Porn
Canon AU - Project Insight Successfully Launched
This tag means Tony and Rhodey are going to die (Tony's face, and possibly Rhodey's too, I'm unsure of my memory, appeared on the list of primary targets to kill), or that something like with Fury happens where HYDRA people think all their targets are death, but some are survived the strike. This anyway set the basis for a good angsty, dystopic story, and I'd love to read that. I'm fine in both cases, whether you want to make the romance happen as main plot or as subplot. Fugitive Cap, getting the help of a still unstable Bucky, supported by Sam who is alive only because he wasn't in the list at the time. They somehow reunite with other Avengers survived to the assault and try to regroup. But many good people are died because Steve failed (and he was seriously hurt at the time, and they couldn't take him to an hospital), and many are risen to power position because of that. The council itself could become HYDRA in short order. I think a lot of interesting stuff could be explored in this scenario.
Canon AU - Super Soldier Program Failed/Worked Differently
I'm fine with both 'failed' or 'worked differently'. What if serum changed his body size, making him all muscley but don't clear Steve's body from illnesses or something like that? So we have the strongest man alive of the '40ies that could easily get ill and die if he don't stay warm in winter? Or flipping that, what if serum didn't change his body size? He is still small and sickly looking but he does is much stronger, and hardly get ill. I suppose they wouldn't have much use of him for the USO tour, though, but there's the chance he was with Colonel Phillis troups earlier. Well, what I mean the propaganda tour could have showed a different face for Captain America, or Captain America as symbol never was created, and when Steve is found they have no idea who he is? Go on from here.
Canon AU – Prisoner(s)/Test Subject(s) of SHIELD
Oooh, this sounds intriguing. I think it could inspire many kind of plot lines and I'm fine with read any you wish to plan. These are some options I came up with, but you can ignore and do your own thing.
Is it an evil SHIELD and every superpowered people is captured and experimented on in order to make them obedient mind-washed puppets/assets? Are the Avengers a mind-washed squad just used for extreme danger, suicidal, missions? I'd love how someone in the squad realizes they are brain-washed and prisoners and tries to convince the others of that too. So they all try to break out (maybe during/after a mission?).
I'm fine if they are differently powered (Bruce being not Hulk but a scientist? Or he was converted to make him Hulk because he refused to experiment on them?) Tony as a mind-enhanced guy able to connect to the internet with his mind (much alike to comic-Extremis). It's up to you, these were just example.
Or, other bunny: Steve (alone) isn't to be sent to missions, he's just specimen because of the serum, to be experimented on (I love 'kidnapping, torture, rescue later' stories) on for other reasons like replicate the serum, or clone his body, or create bio-weaponry serum based.
Please, I'd love a first time with a selected pairing too.
AU - Slavery
I'd love if slaves are to be used for sexual and reproductive reasons too. I'd love Rhodey or Tony as the master and Steve the acquired sex slave (if Tony a gift from Obadiah or someone else, or if Rhodey a gift from Tony?). It's up to you if Steve was Captain America, a free man and a symbol of freedom (and that could be why Tony or Rhodey bought him?), or if this is a non powered world. Steve can optionally be scrawny Steve. Love story pretty please. Some likes: Steve is angry or bitter and sarcastic to them at first, but later some kind of understanding is reached? Yes to past non con, if you're okay with this too. Sexytimes are optional but welcome, no PWP though? Alpha/Beta/Omega where Steve is an Omega and Tony/Rhodey an Alpha is welcome too. Heats or mpreg are welcome but unnecessary.
Canon AU - Powers on Known Timer/Expiration
He always knew it would happened, Erskin warned him, but he kind-of forgot about it, or maybe it was wishful thinking. After the final fight against Ultron, Steve reverts back to his scrawny, sickly former self. It can be quick or painfully slow. He thought he had finally a home and a place in this new era, now it isn't so anymore. Tony or Rhodey try to make him fit in their lives, though they didn't plan they would end to start dating/get together/have sex. They can work with that.
AU - Cyborgs
Them as cyborg heroes or policemen, maybe in futuristic setting, or in a dystopic world, or in the space heroing, with their metal bodies but human minds and hearts still of men. Body horror and non consensual body modification are welcome (maybe they were death, someone found their bodies were well preserved and converted them in what they are now. They get free but angst for what they did to them. Tony can be human, and the one who help them in their new lives, to find a purpose, to find a home. First time please. Talks about sex (and actual sex) are welcome, but not needed, had you to like explore those too.
AU Lost/Stranded Somewhere
The classic, they are stranded somewhere, possibly their tech tools don't work there because of magnetic interference or something, and it's possible that will be their home for the rest of their lives. They try to make it be homey as they can, try to survive any peril the nature pose (too cold <3, too desert, too hot, water is hard to find, dangerous fauna, it's up to you). They didn't anticipated the UST, but here they are and first time happen. It's up to you if they are eventually rescued (if they are, they aren't stepping back from lovers to friends again though, please?).
AU - Prostitute
Prostitute Steve, please! Skinny or bulky, it's up to you. No 'he didn't deserve it, he needs to be saved' trope, please? But I'm totally fine with Steve stops to prostitute because he falls in love and wants to stay with his boyfriend. Maybe Steve selling his services to buy meds for himself or his mother, when he meets with Tony or Rhodey or Bucky? Or, Bucky didn't believed about it until he saw it with his very eyes. If Bucky/Steve/Tony, I'd like Tony and Bucky are attracted to each other, then Steve comes in the picture and they don't know if to be jealous or possessive or heartbroken. Tony and Bucky fighting and being childing, but then they realizing they both really care for Steve too and wanting the other to be happy more than everything. And eventually someone commenting the three of them should get together instead of that insanity or something?
Canon AU - Sense Impaired Character
Again, Steve. How is to be a sightless Captain America? They find him into the eyes, and Tony wants to find build some prop (like JARVIS? An assist talking to him while they fight?) to help him to go back to the missions, if that's something Steve would want? Or something different will do. Tell me the story. Romance, though, please?
Canon AU - Winter Soldier Has Different Identity
Steve as Winter Soldier, Bucky as Captain America. Or Bucky broke out from the conditioning many years ago, and they took Rhodey, enhanced him and used him as the Winter Soldier for the last 5 or 10 years. Whether it is Steve or Rhodey, they rescue him/break the conditioning HYDRA has on him/try to make him remember, etc. Love happens in the process.
AU - 1940s
Either non powered, mundane AU where sickly Steve meets Rhodey, becomes friends with him and then lovers (well, it could or couldn't necessarily in this order); or it could be Rhodey becoming a member of the Howling Commandos (either they could have met while Steve was still sickly, or they could meet during the rescue), and then becoming secretly (or not so secretly as they wish) lovers. I'd love, but it is totally optional, if there is some mention of the fear of being found out and being kicked out from the army with disgrace or something around those lines. What if they meet in a bar for deviants (or whatever was the word they used to call themselves during these years)?
Canon AU - Differently Powered
Tony is the engineer, Rhodey is Iron Man, Steve is Winter Soldier, Bucky is Captain America or War Machine? Or, tiny Steve is War Machine? Or they all have different powers? Or else again, go wild with your own idea. Please, first time anyway?
Canon AU - Time Travel
Something happen and he/they need to travel back in time, maybe a baddie run back in time to change the history or something? And they ask Captain America's (and Bucky's assistance. But it is time to go back and they find they are stuck and can't go back to the future. The point is, in this verse, Iron Man and/or War Machine were heroes of the forties, so they stay (and become lovers with Steve (and Bucky)). Or it is an accident where baddie send him/them back in time, and he/them still are stuck back in time. Or, if you dislike that option: they go back in the future, and meet again with Steve (and not-Winter Soldier Bucky) when they find him (them) into the ice. Happy ending either way it goes, pretty please? :)
Canon AU - WWII HYDRA Victory
I'd love read your take with a world like this, where HYDRA winning meant they crashed every threats, by killing them or seizing and brainwashing them. I'd love Steve (and Bucky) as powerful assets used by HYDRA, Tony helps to capture him/them (though the original plan was to kill him/them, then they think they could use the info by forcing the asset(s) to talk (by using truth serum injections or machines on them?) and use the intel to defeat HYDRA??) but something happens and they realize they captured a brainwashed Captain America (and Bucky?) or something like that?
Or it could be Steve still fighting with a thin group of rebels, with no particular plot, just showing their lives as criminals who keep fighting to stop the cruel Government, the horrors, and free all the people, though it seem a desperate battle and many tell they already lost a long ago. First time, please?
AU - Dystopia
One day alien people came and enslaved the Earth's people. Avengers are vigilantes trying to stop the dictatorship and give back freedom to the people on the planet. Romance is something they can't afford right now, but you can't command your heart to not fall in love...
AU - Spies and Secret Agents
Bourne Identity (the movie) kind of story is the first thing that comes to my mind, but any spy (group or solo) story will do too. I particularly love original plots over plots following some movie step by step. Tony as someone to be spied over, Steve and Bucky as spies. Or Bucky is the spy, Steve is Tony's bodyguard? Or else, the three of them are a team of spies, Tony is the hacker (?) and tech support expert, the one with the gadgets. The others are the ones actually sent on the missions, except when something happens and Tony finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, and they have decide if to save the mission or save Tony. Maybe they are able to save both, someone get hurt in the process but it is a close call for them and the UST is stopped and a threeway relationship started.
AU - BDSM
I'm fine if it is a mundane AU, though I have a slight preference for being tailored into the MCU Canon. Everyone think Steve is an Dom, but he is a Sub, and like any Subs he needs to submit to relieve the stress of being a Sub means (when not in a relationship). I particularly love when this verse isn't power-unbalanced. Tops have needs too, it is hard for them being without a Sub etc. No discipline kink, please? I'm fine with everything but that or scat. Though, if there's sex, I do love impact play or other pain practices (because both the Dom and the Sub love it, *not* because they need to discipline a disobedient Sub). Bondage (with chains? I love the looks of chains keeping Steve constrained and in position throught everything their partner makes to them) and blindfold or a gag, cock cages, plugs, prince wand or other harnesses are all welcome! So it is intercourse with Steve bottoming. Everything consensual. Non con is fine for prior relationships only, please? Unless there are misunderstandings occurring, like: 'rules are changed but no one remembered to inform Steve of that.' I'd really love to read this scenario, where eventually both the parties are sorry, but not scarred enough and start over their relationship with a talk and more reciprocal understanding. :D Steve (or Rhodey) as virgin is a welcome addition. I'm fine if you mix BDSM AU with ABO AU (Doms are Alpha, Subs are Omega who have heats and can get pregnant?). It's your decision, though.
AU - Regency
I'd prefer, but it is optional, no gender swapping. Rhodey and Steve, both men who fall in love with each other and eventually decide to not marry a lady to be together and be happy, if keeping a clandestine relationship.
AU - Military
They are (non-powered) trench soldiers, or pilots. Steve can be small or built up. They start off as good friends, they challenge each other in contest games (I shot down one more than you today), they have fun to just not go crazy or give themselves to the depression. At night, they secretly slip in the same bunk to share body heat, and comfort each other through the nightmares, about all the friends they have lost, about they die too. And then came the kisses and the making love. Or something less angsty, if you don't like angst, if fine. Happy ending.
AU - VA or Mental Health Clinic Inmates
President of USA Rogers? Director of SHIELD Stark? Commander Rogers and his Secret Avengers unit? And of course Director Stark/Commander Rogers on MCU! Give me the MCU characters with comic versions of their roles in the MCU canon, make them interact and get together. It can be through a risky mission, or during the training session in the helicarrier gim, or it could be Tony or Rhodey paying visits to President Steve to convince him to let him be his bodyguard. First time of course. <3
While I was selecting the tags I couldn't help to think many AUs could worked together in the same story. I'll make a list with examples of where my mind went on about this line of thinking, but feel free to ignore any if they don't work for you. There are more, but I'll keep it shorter because this letter is way too long.
AU 1940s + Canon AU Time Travel + Canon AU WWII HYDRA Victory
HYDRA won the war and caused 70 years of suffering, Tony (and Rhodey) secretly built a machine to travel back in time and try to fix that. He/then meets Steve (and Bucky). (and hates him at first? or worships him? was Steve still alive when Tony was born or he was executed when Hydra won the war?
AU Dystopia + AU Prostitute + AU Slavery + Canon AU WWII HYDRA Victory
HYDRA winning meant Slavery to be instated, any people against HYDRA regime are to be enslaved, a shock collar (or a depowering collar?) is put on them to keep them obedient. Tony and Rhodey, who live in this era, find Steve, the icon of Freedom, is alive but kept as a sex slave. They need to rescue him.
AU 1940s + AU Prostitute
Unpowered AU where Tony walks on Brooklyn streets and meets (skinny?) Steve while he's prostituting himself. Maybe he needs moneys for expensive meds? And things go on from there. (Btw, if you should tackle this prompt and decide to go on the sex route, my preference is for bottom Steve and possibly intercourse - but I'll read bottom Tony or blow jobs too if that's your preference ;-) ). No 'make/be feeling guilty/shame' or 'feeling less because he prostituted himself', please. I like when all the parties are level headed, I don't when some are portrayed as self-righteous.
or: Tony meets skinny Steve who's offering sexual favors as means to pass the hardships (note: he doesn't think less of himself, nor is forced by others to prostitute himself). Up to you how to proceed from here.
I've come across this post:
http://thingswithwings.dreamwidth.org/213805.html
That could possibly offer for interesting insights for this request.
AU Regency ( + optionally AU BDSM )
In the Regency time period proper decorum is of the utmost importance, but anything can happen behind closed doors. Story of how a prohibited and conflicting affair between two single gentlemen is born.
AU Regency + AU A/B/O + AU Slavery + AU Prostitute
Slavery in A/B/O world during the Regency era, it is common practice for many unmarried lords to keep sex slaves and breed slaves in their manors.
AU Cyborgs + WWII HYDRA Victory + Character is HYDRA + Differently Powered + Super Soldier Program Failed/Worked Differently
Tony is a scientist working for Hydra (I'd prefer he's still a good guy finding himself in the wrong time), he's the main mind who turned Steve's dead body (and Rhodey's and Bucky's??) into an alive asset, a cyborg owned by HYDRA. (So, temporary death. Feel free to play the brain wash card however you see fitting your story.)
Canon AU Sense Impaired Character, + AU Cyborgs
Steve comes back from the last fight having lost his senses (sight? hearing? possibly more?), Tony decides to build cybernetic implants to make him able to go back fighting and be Captain America.
Or, Steve's body is finally found frozen alive into the ice. When he's woken up they found the ice damaged his senses. What's his purpose in this new life? I'd like Tony/Rhodey would make it better (by romancing them or by building new working sci-fi-like prosthetics?)
AU Identity Porn + AU Differently Powered or + Canon AU Comics Canon
Same prompt above, but if Rhodey falls into the mix, I'd really love if he's Iron Man all the time complete with arc reactor to boot! <3

AU - Post-Apocalypse
Survival scenario in a post apocalyptic world! I'd love this one post movies, but I'm fine with the characters to meet for the first time in your story. It can just the two of them sticking together and searching for suvivors, trying to set a camp for survivors, or different scenario. One of them being hurt, the other assisting him in this desperate situation. I like the feeling of loss for a death Earth being sweetened by them being aware they aren't alone in this. First time or friends to lovers. Reciprocal comfort is welcome too.

Or, twitching the canon, Steve is a modern military guy, no superpowers, and he's the one captured and kept in the caves together with Tony in place of Yinsen.
Canon AU - Identity Porn
Steve meets Tony but he doesn't know he's Iron Man too, maybe he believes Iron Man is Rhodey, or Happy.
Options: Disfunctional first meeting, Steve and Tony dislike each other at first. But Cap and IM hit it right away and like each other so very much.
Not disfunctional first meeting: Steve and Tony like each other right away when they are introduced, but are biased about the capped counterparts, Tony dislikes Captain America because has this idea he's self-righteous or something, and Steve dislikes Iron Man because the SHIELD biased report portrayed the armored hero more similar to a villain than a hero.
Or the mixed up version: Steve things worlds about Iron Man but dislikes Tony, Tony really likes (or have a crush on) Steve but can't stand Cap. (Or same but flipped.)
Happy romantic ending with a plot twist or two would be lovely.

He thought he had finally a home and a place in this new era, now it isn't so anymore. Tony or Rhodey try to make him fit in their lives, though they didn't plan they would end to start dating/get together/have sex. They can work with that.
AU - Cyborgs
Them as cyborg heroes or policemen, maybe in futuristic setting, or in a dystopic world, or in the space heroing, with their metal bodies but human minds and hearts still of men. Body horror and non consensual body modification are welcome (maybe they were death, someone found their bodies were well preserved and converted them in what they are now.

The classic, they are stranded somewhere, possibly their tech tools don't work there because of magnetic interference or something, and it's possible that will be their home for the rest of their lives. They try to make it be homey as they can, try to survive any peril the nature pose (too cold <3, too desert, too hot, water is hard to find, dangerous fauna, it's up to you). They didn't anticipated the UST, but here they are and first time happen. It's up to you if they are eventually rescued (if they are, they aren't stepping back from lovers to friends again though, please?).
AU - Prostitute
Prostitute Steve, please! Skinny or bulky, it's up to you. No 'he didn't deserve it, he needs to be saved' trope, please? But I'm totally fine with Steve stops to prostitute because he falls in love and wants to stay with his boyfriend. Maybe Steve selling his services to buy meds for himself or his mother, when he meets with Tony or Rhodey or Bucky? Or, Bucky didn't believed about it until he saw it with his very eyes. If Bucky/Steve/Tony, I'd like Tony and Bucky are attracted to each other, then Steve comes in the picture and they don't know if to be jealous or possessive or heartbroken. Tony and Bucky fighting and being childing, but then they realizing they both really care for Steve too and wanting the other to be happy more than everything. And eventually someone commenting the three of them should get together instead of that insanity or something?
Canon AU - Sense Impaired Character
Again, Steve. How is to be a sightless Captain America? They find him into the eyes, and Tony wants to find build some prop (like JARVIS? An assist talking to him while they fight?) to help him to go back to the missions, if that's something Steve would want? Or something different will do. Tell me the story. Romance, though, please?
Canon AU - Winter Soldier Has Different Identity
Steve as Winter Soldier, Bucky as Captain America. Or Bucky broke out from the conditioning many years ago, and they took Rhodey, enhanced him and used him as the Winter Soldier for the last 5 or 10 years. Whether it is Steve or Rhodey, they rescue him/break the conditioning HYDRA has on him/try to make him remember, etc. Love happens in the process.
AU - 1940s
Either non powered, mundane AU where sickly Steve meets Rhodey, becomes friends with him and then lovers (well, it could or couldn't necessarily in this order); or it could be Rhodey becoming a member of the Howling Commandos (either they could have met while Steve was still sickly, or they could meet during the rescue), and then becoming secretly (or not so secretly as they wish) lovers. I'd love, but it is totally optional, if there is some mention of the fear of being found out and being kicked out from the army with disgrace or something around those lines. What if they meet in a bar for deviants (or whatever was the word they used to call themselves during these years)?
Canon AU - Differently Powered
Tony is the engineer, Rhodey is Iron Man, Steve is Winter Soldier, Bucky is Captain America or War Machine? Or, tiny Steve is War Machine? Or they all have different powers? Or else again, go wild with your own idea. Please, first time anyway?
Canon AU - Time Travel
Something happen and he/they need to travel back in time, maybe a baddie run back in time to change the history or something? And they ask Captain America's (and Bucky's assistance. But it is time to go back and they find they are stuck and can't go back to the future. The point is, in this verse, Iron Man and/or War Machine were heroes of the forties, so they stay (and become lovers with Steve (and Bucky)). Or it is an accident where baddie send him/them back in time, and he/them still are stuck back in time. Or, if you dislike that option: they go back in the future, and meet again with Steve (and not-Winter Soldier Bucky) when they find him (them) into the ice. Happy ending either way it goes, pretty please? :)
Canon AU - WWII HYDRA Victory
I'd love read your take with a world like this, where HYDRA winning meant they crashed every threats, by killing them or seizing and brainwashing them. I'd love Steve (and Bucky) as powerful assets used by HYDRA, Tony helps to capture him/them (though the original plan was to kill him/them, then they think they could use the info by forcing the asset(s) to talk (by using truth serum injections or machines on them?) and use the intel to defeat HYDRA??) but something happens and they realize they captured a brainwashed Captain America (and Bucky?) or something like that?
Or it could be Steve still fighting with a thin group of rebels, with no particular plot, just showing their lives as criminals who keep fighting to stop the cruel Government, the horrors, and free all the people, though it seem a desperate battle and many tell they already lost a long ago. First time, please?
AU - Dystopia
One day alien people came and enslaved the Earth's people. Avengers are vigilantes trying to stop the dictatorship and give back freedom to the people on the planet. Romance is something they can't afford right now, but you can't command your heart to not fall in love...
AU - Spies and Secret Agents
Bourne Identity (the movie) kind of story is the first thing that comes to my mind, but any spy (group or solo) story will do too. I particularly love original plots over plots following some movie step by step. Tony as someone to be spied over, Steve and Bucky as spies. Or Bucky is the spy, Steve is Tony's bodyguard? Or else, the three of them are a team of spies, Tony is the hacker (?) and tech support expert, the one with the gadgets. The others are the ones actually sent on the missions, except when something happens and Tony finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, and they have decide if to save the mission or save Tony. Maybe they are able to save both, someone get hurt in the process but it is a close call for them and the UST is stopped and a threeway relationship started.
AU - BDSM
I'm fine if it is a mundane AU, though I have a slight preference for being tailored into the MCU Canon. Everyone think Steve is an Dom, but he is a Sub, and like any Subs he needs to submit to relieve the stress of being a Sub means (when not in a relationship). I particularly love when this verse isn't power-unbalanced. Tops have needs too, it is hard for them being without a Sub etc. No discipline kink, please? I'm fine with everything but that or scat. Though, if there's sex, I do love impact play or other pain practices (because both the Dom and the Sub love it, *not* because they need to discipline a disobedient Sub). Bondage (with chains? I love the looks of chains keeping Steve constrained and in position throught everything their partner makes to them) and blindfold or a gag, cock cages, plugs, prince wand or other harnesses are all welcome! So it is intercourse with Steve bottoming. Everything consensual. Non con is fine for prior relationships only, please? Unless there are misunderstandings occurring, like: 'rules are changed but no one remembered to inform Steve of that.' I'd really love to read this scenario, where eventually both the parties are sorry, but not scarred enough and start over their relationship with a talk and more reciprocal understanding. :D Steve (or Rhodey) as virgin is a welcome addition. I'm fine if you mix BDSM AU with ABO AU (Doms are Alpha, Subs are Omega who have heats and can get pregnant?). It's your decision, though.
AU - Regency
I'd prefer, but it is optional, no gender swapping. Rhodey and Steve, both men who fall in love with each other and eventually decide to not marry a lady to be together and be happy, if keeping a clandestine relationship.
AU - Military
They are (non-powered) trench soldiers, or pilots. Steve can be small or built up. They start off as good friends, they challenge each other in contest games (I shot down one more than you today), they have fun to just not go crazy or give themselves to the depression. At night, they secretly slip in the same bunk to share body heat, and comfort each other through the nightmares, about all the friends they have lost, about they die too. And then came the kisses and the making love. Or something less angsty, if you don't like angst, if fine. Happy ending.
AU - VA or Mental Health Clinic Inmates
I'd prefer the VA Hospital over a civil Health Clinic, if I get to choose, where they are War Veterans too broken to go back to a normal life among civilians, with no family to take care of them in the real world. The VA ward is their home now, some inmates (and the staff?) the closest they have to a family. They aren't too broken to not realize they could be falling in love with each other.
Canon AU - Comics CanonPresident of USA Rogers? Director of SHIELD Stark? Commander Rogers and his Secret Avengers unit? And of course Director Stark/Commander Rogers on MCU! Give me the MCU characters with comic versions of their roles in the MCU canon, make them interact and get together. It can be through a risky mission, or during the training session in the helicarrier gim, or it could be Tony or Rhodey paying visits to President Steve to convince him to let him be his bodyguard. First time of course. <3
***
While I was selecting the tags I couldn't help to think many AUs could worked together in the same story. I'll make a list with examples of where my mind went on about this line of thinking, but feel free to ignore any if they don't work for you. There are more, but I'll keep it shorter because this letter is way too long.
AU 1940s + Canon AU Time Travel + Canon AU WWII HYDRA Victory
HYDRA won the war and caused 70 years of suffering, Tony (and Rhodey) secretly built a machine to travel back in time and try to fix that. He/then meets Steve (and Bucky). (and hates him at first? or worships him? was Steve still alive when Tony was born or he was executed when Hydra won the war?
AU Dystopia + AU Prostitute + AU Slavery + Canon AU WWII HYDRA Victory
HYDRA winning meant Slavery to be instated, any people against HYDRA regime are to be enslaved, a shock collar (or a depowering collar?) is put on them to keep them obedient. Tony and Rhodey, who live in this era, find Steve, the icon of Freedom, is alive but kept as a sex slave. They need to rescue him.
AU 1940s + AU Prostitute
Unpowered AU where Tony walks on Brooklyn streets and meets (skinny?) Steve while he's prostituting himself. Maybe he needs moneys for expensive meds? And things go on from there. (Btw, if you should tackle this prompt and decide to go on the sex route, my preference is for bottom Steve and possibly intercourse - but I'll read bottom Tony or blow jobs too if that's your preference ;-) ). No 'make/be feeling guilty/shame' or 'feeling less because he prostituted himself', please. I like when all the parties are level headed, I don't when some are portrayed as self-righteous.
or: Tony meets skinny Steve who's offering sexual favors as means to pass the hardships (note: he doesn't think less of himself, nor is forced by others to prostitute himself). Up to you how to proceed from here.
I've come across this post:
http://thingswithwings.dreamwidth.org/213805.html
That could possibly offer for interesting insights for this request.
AU Regency ( + optionally AU BDSM )
In the Regency time period proper decorum is of the utmost importance, but anything can happen behind closed doors. Story of how a prohibited and conflicting affair between two single gentlemen is born.
AU Regency + AU A/B/O + AU Slavery + AU Prostitute
Slavery in A/B/O world during the Regency era, it is common practice for many unmarried lords to keep sex slaves and breed slaves in their manors.
AU Cyborgs + WWII HYDRA Victory + Character is HYDRA + Differently Powered + Super Soldier Program Failed/Worked Differently
Tony is a scientist working for Hydra (I'd prefer he's still a good guy finding himself in the wrong time), he's the main mind who turned Steve's dead body (and Rhodey's and Bucky's??) into an alive asset, a cyborg owned by HYDRA. (So, temporary death. Feel free to play the brain wash card however you see fitting your story.)
Canon AU Sense Impaired Character, + AU Cyborgs
Steve comes back from the last fight having lost his senses (sight? hearing? possibly more?), Tony decides to build cybernetic implants to make him able to go back fighting and be Captain America.
Or, Steve's body is finally found frozen alive into the ice. When he's woken up they found the ice damaged his senses. What's his purpose in this new life? I'd like Tony/Rhodey would make it better (by romancing them or by building new working sci-fi-like prosthetics?)
AU Identity Porn + AU Differently Powered or + Canon AU Comics Canon
Same prompt above, but if Rhodey falls into the mix, I'd really love if he's Iron Man all the time complete with arc reactor to boot! <3
