REC #004 {there used to be a greying tower alone on the sea}
Aiyaiyai! I can't believe I left this so late! For that, I am sorry D: Now enough of the chit-chat! ON TO THE FIC!!!!!
PAIRING OF THE WEEK: STEVE/TONY {MARVEL}
FIC PICK: Honey, I Can See The Stars by twentysomething
|| nc-17, canon, 11,701 words ||
"The most he'd ever cared about anything remotely related was his uniform, which, beyond the stylistic, was pretty necessary. But now his suit comes from a lab far more advanced than the basement of a Brooklyn antique shop, and the only decision he really gets to make is if his pants are too tight. (They were, but he doesn't really think they changed them. He doesn't know why, but he thinks that might have been on purpose.) That being said, he doesn't know what he's done to deserve the double take Tony gives him as he walks in the room."
Why you should read it: It's far from being an epic. But it carries this steady quietness-- balancing humour with confusion and oh STEVE, TONY JUST WANTS TO LOVE YOU!!!
