Fic: Looking for Heaven (Regency AU)
Looking for Heaven
Steve/Tony, Clint/Coulson | 32,000 words | NC-17
When young Lord Anthony Stark learns Steven Rogers has enlisted in the army, he thinks he's seen the last of his tiny, headstrong, haughty stable boy. But four years later, Lord Stark gets an unexpected visit from Steve, whose mother has fallen gravely ill and into financial ruin. Even more unexpected, Steve agrees to a shocking proposal: they will marry, giving Steve the necessary funds to save his mother, and Tony the much-needed reprieve from harassing would-be suitors. It is a business arrangement, nothing more. But as time goes on and circumstances arise, Tony begins to learn that keeping his heart away from his husband is easier said than done.

GORGEOUS Harlequin cover art by ria-oaks can be found HERE. Please go have a look and shower her with praise (she drew a shirtless Steve and a swooning Tony--what more could you want??)!
I began this story over a year and a half ago on a whim and an overwhelming desire to write an Avengers marriage of convenience fic. So many people have read snippets of this along the way, I've lost count. Many, many thanks to themoononastick for the fantastic beta job and Brit-pick, and to sirona_gs for being the best cheerleader. ♥
