Hello and welcome to the weekly post for Friday, July 12th, 2019. I'm afraid most of my fanfic reading was in tumblr this week and I never got a hang of saving the links for sharing on here, but I do have a couple of stories I read previously that I didn't share because I had already posted a bunch that week. Hopefully some of you will make up for that by replying with multiple stories in the comments to this post, hint hint!

I just love the voice of this one, and how it does the flipping between times (which usually jars and or confuses me but doesn't here.

This one I did read this week, and is an interesting take on kidfic. 3 year old Peter is neither presented as the cause of them getting back together or a barrier to their relationship, but as a kid and part of a package deal with Tony. Whether or not he liked Steve was presented as a factor in how Tony dealt with Steve but Peter didn't instantly take to him as a new dad, and liked or not the stress of introducing a new person into their home in a stressful situation was addressed.

Summary:

The last thing Tony expects when he wakes up that day is the very thing he finds in Pepper's office, or rather, the very person.
Old flames do they ever really die down? Maybe not, but does Tony have the luxury to find out when he has to think about Peter's well-being first and foremost?

Or when Pepper is worried, makes a decision, and Tony's life spins on its axis, once again.

and might as well round this off with another MCU fic right? Its a light fun one, where Sam is Captain America, Bucky is an Avenger, and Steve is Bucky's boyfriend.

Summary:

"Post-action tacos?” Tony suggested. “I’m thinking that place by Fordham. BattleBot, you in?”

“Can’t,” the Soldier said, typing something into his phone. “I have a date.”

Tony stopped talking for an entire three seconds. “You. Have a date.”

The Soldier looked up and blinked, clearly nonplussed to find Sam and Tony both staring at him. “Yes.”

“With who?”

“My boyfriend.”

“You have a boyfriend. You have a boyfriend?” Tony looked like he’d just walked into a lamppost, and then the lamppost had handed him a birthday present.

Bookmarker's Notes:

If more people could remember that Steve is a tactical expert and not just a hand to hand fighter with a doom frisbee I would appreciate it
