All fanworks are created out of love. Love is why as readers we seek out fic that gives us more of the things we love and love for Steve/Tony is why we sit down and explore them through stories.
But writing is still hard sometimes and writing something 25,000 words long and finishing it can be intimidating. Coming up with an idea that carries you through the writing process is key.
So let us remind you of why we love this ship so much! The inspiring and dramatic moments, the different dynamics that marked their relationship over the years and across the multiverse are what you can draw from!
Over the years Captain America and Iron Man were perfect team mates. Mutual admiration was always part of it – even when things were tough.
Their feelings for each other run deep.
Steve and Tony gaze into each other’s eyes,…
…admire each other’s outfits,…
…support each other,…
…worry about each other,…
…truust and…
…save each other…
…know each other well enough to finish each other’s sentences…
…and know exactly why the other is acting a certain way…
…and what the other needs even when they don’t admit it.
The worst thing about feeling the pain of betrayal, of course, is that it can never come from an enemy. It hurts the most when it comes from the person we love and admire most.
But everything comes back to that one person, doesn’t it? And nothing can stand between them for long.
So while they are the ones who can hurt each other the worst…
they still believe in each other.
They are best when they stand together,…
…teasing each other,…
…training together,…
…working in sync,…
…always running off towards new adventures,…
… and fun basektball dates.
There are so many aspects to their relationship, so many angles to be explored. Give us your Steve/Tony stories fully, sad, full of love and angst, canon compliant or AU – we’re looking forward to everything you write!
