Umthing.

Well, now I know I'm a Cap/Tony fangirl: I am busily spawning my vewwy own Civil-War-fix-it-AU. (Because that is so the primary subgenre of fic in this subfandom. Civil-War-fix-it-AU's. I'm not sure I've seen a fandom more prone to denying its own canon since Evangelion--though, honestly, most canon-denying Eva fans do so because they don't understand it and how to relate it to what they're writing, and most canon-denying Cap/Tony fans do so because they get the wonderful-horrible-slashtastic-character-torture but would just like the death removed from the equation.)

(Then again, Marvel canon seems to need a lot of denying in certain places.)

(I still like parentheses.)

I think I've also written some of my longest blocks of dialogue, like, ever. BECAUSE TONY NEVER SHUTS UP.

AND IT'S REALLY PROBLEMATIC THAT I'M WRITING ANYTHING AT ALL BECAUSE I BARELY KNOW STEVE.

Damn you seductive people!

(I will so need a beta if I ever come close to finishing anything.)

Also I am determined to eventually write pr0n for this pairing, because there's so damn little of it.

I need to stop rambling now, and start typing in the massive amount of stuff (mostly Tony running off at the mouth) I wrote on the train today.

Edit: Typed that in--the one scene, not even complete, is about 2K words, and that's mostly Tony talking. (Don't worry, this isn't a sex scene. He's quieter then. He has to shut up if his mouth's busy, after all.) OMGWTF.

You must admit, it's hard to slash the dead, so fixits are somewhat required.

crimsonquills will love you forever if you write porn!

Well, there is hypothetically the possibility for pre-CW non-AU...but, honestly, that reads almost like an AU anywhere, at least with my limited knowledge of canon, because it seems like it would be nigh-impossible for CW to go how it did if Tony had actually, you know, SAID ANYTHING instead of playing his cards too close to his chest like the self-sacrificing conspiring angst-moppet he is. (For all that he never shuts up, he usually doesn't manage to say what he actually needs to.)

*burbles*

So I've gathered! And there needs to be more porn with them. Oh yes. And with the way my brain works, it will be as kinky porn as possible while still involving an IC Steve. ('Cause Tony is so not the sticking point for IC kinky porn here.) alsdfjal;sdjkf

Marvel canon denies itself so much that there's plenty for fans to get away with. I personally ignore anything that Chuck Austen puts on paper (actually, I think a fandom majority does that) because his retcons suck more than bad fanfiction ever could.

YAY!!!

That is all. :D

[mattador.livejournal.com]

I know enough Marvel to beta it.

Am traveling, so I have like 5 minutes of Internet time now, but you so need to read this. You will laugh I promise (though there is no Cap):

Mmm. Kinky porn!

My personal take on Steve is that he's not particularly naturally kinky, but he's not afraid of new things either (this is a guy who jumped 50 years in time and adjusted to a world so changed it's practically alien.) He'd be willing to do a lot of things if he saw the pleasure it was bringing to his partner.

With the exception that I don't think he'd ever want to deliberately, seriously cause pain. Dominance, sure, rough sex, sure, but not the sort of deliberate infliction of pain of S&M. Mentally accept that some people enjoy it, sure, but not him.

[wired-lizard.livejournal.com]

There must always be kinky porn.

And, from the relatively little I know of Steve so far, I totally agree with you--that was pretty much exactly how I read him. The pain--and, I think, the formalization of certain stripes (er, no pun intended) of S&M would simply bewilder him.

[tavella.livejournal.com]

The formalization of master-slave, in particular. Handcuff Tony to the bed and play dominant, sure. But if Tony started groveling or asking to be punished or the like, I think Steve would just be dismayed.

Speaking of tying to the bed, have you read Crimsonquills fabulous Unbinding (http://crimsonquills.livejournal.com/616022.html)? You should read the first fic in the series (http://crimsonquills.livejournal.com/tag/fic+%28chaptered%29:+a+meeting+of+minds) first, though.

[wired-lizard.livejournal.com]

I have indeed, and it was yummy. And that long one-shot that martianhouse posted, Attack/Retreat--I think that brought out Steve's toppy streak nicely, oh yes.

[wired-lizard.livejournal.com]

I did--it was wonderful, wonderful crack. And started figuring into the fic I mentioned above. And yay for naked Tony kicking ass!

[tragical-mirth.livejournal.com]

YAY INDEED FOR NAKED TONY KICK ASS. I saw that in the store and said, this must be mine...
