From: Me, Re: Love by anonymous [Steve/Tony]
Tony and Steve exchange a series of emails. Steve types in all caps, forwards ancient memes (lol cats, "funny" pictures, inspirational stories, etc), and generally acts like your grandparents.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
In a Different Light by marinarusalka [Steve/Tony]
After an unexpected attack, Tony has trouble dealing with his injuries and Steve has trouble dealing with Tony.
"TONY STARK ASSAULTED IN RESTAURANT," proclaimed the Daily News. "IS THIS THE END OF IRON MAN?" demanded the Bugle. "AVENGER ACID ATTACK!" screamed the Post, sending Hank on a tirade about sloppy journalists who couldn't be bothered to tell an acid from a base.
"I think they just wanted the alliteration," Jan said.
Hank looked deeply offended. "That's no excuse. They could've said alkali. And besides, journalists are supposed to care about facts, not alliterative headlines."

It was strange. Back in the time Steve still tended to think of as "his," he could've been arrested for doing most of the things he wanted to do with Tony. Now... he wasn't sure how things worked, exactly. Apparently, men liking men was acceptable, except when it wasn't. You could get married in some places, but if you went someplace else it didn't count, and you could serve in the military as long as people didn't find out. That last part made no sense at all; as far Steve had seen, soldiers had always been not asking and not telling, so what was the point in making a law about it?
Alter. Ego. by arysteia [Steve/Tony, Steve/Iron Man]
Romancing Steve Rogers is hard enough. The last thing Tony Stark needs is a rival. In the shape of Iron Man.
“I can’t believe you’re being such a snob,” Steve said, defensively, “just because he’s your bodyguard.”
“I’m a snob?” That was one accusation Tony had never thought to hear from Steve’s lips. “Look at you! Super-heroes only, and God help any mere mortal who dares to look at you, flawed human being and all.”
“Tony, stop it. I’d feel exactly the same if he was just an ordinary man.”
“Yeah,” Tony scoffed, “I find that hard to believe.”
“With the way you’re acting,” Steve spat, and his voice was as cold as that ice Tony’d pulled him out of, “I find it hard to believe you’d have ever looked twice at a skinny kid from Queens, either, so I guess we’re even.”
The door slammed, hard, behind him.
