[cap_ironman_fe]

ALL REMAINING AND AVAILABLE SUMMARIES ARE AVAILABLE FOR CLAIMS HERE. Please head to the new post and do not make your claim on this post. Claims are closed on this post.

This is the CLAIMS phase of the Big Bang, and where the artists come in! An amazing 17 drafts have been submitted and are awaiting artists to claim them. By claiming a story, you assert that you will collaborate with your writer(s) to produce custom artwork to accompany their story when posting begins in November. There is no penalty-free dropping out after this point. You do not need to be a member of the cap_ironman community or have a Dreamwidth account to make your claim. Anonymous comments on this post are enabled. (Commenting will open when the claiming phase begins).

Your schedule:

• October: Artists work on their piece, writers finish their fics


• Saturday, October 26th: Teams select posting dates in November


• November: Big Bang fic and art begin posting!

A recap on some of the main rules:

• Please remember to read through our General Event Policies and the Big Bang Event Guidelines for all participants, as well as the Artists’ Guidelines for this year’s challenge before going on to claim any fics.


• Acceptable art includes traditional and digital art. Other visual mediums—such as edits, manipulations, fanvids or works that rely on or are derivative of existing material—are not eligible for this Big Bang.


• You are required to make, at minimum, one piece of accompanying fanwork for the fic you claim, and can make as many pieces as you'd like. The artwork(s) must be new and made solely for the story in question.


• This is a collaborative challenge; you are expected to keep in touch with your team for the duration of the challenge. You must coordinate with your partner during the posting period.


• All participants must be 18 or older.

To claim a summary on Saturday, September 28th, you will need to leave a comment with the following information (just copy and paste in your own details):


<br /><b>Username(s) including site name:</b> [This is how we, and your partner, will address you; please use one of your primary pseuds such as Tumblr, DeviantArt or AO3 username.] <br/><br /><b>Email:</b> [This is the address we will use to contact you and which your team partner will be given, so please make sure it is one which you check frequently, and that you are happy to give it to us.]<br/><br /><b>Choice 1:</b> [FIC CODENAME, for example BRAVO.]<br/><br /><b>Choice X:</b> [Your lowest ranked choice. Please make sure you only put down fics that you are happy to produce art for as your options, choose as few or many as you like.]

Two or three options are recommended as we cannot guarantee that you will get your first choice. However, you may include more if you wish or even list just one choice if there is only one summary you are interested in. Remember that you are signing up for a collaborative event—please do not list summaries that you would not be genuinely happy to work with.

Claims will be made on a first-come, first-served basis and you will be assigned the first option that is still available in your list. You may only claim once, and you will be assigned a single fic—this is to give everyone who can't be there for claims opening a chance to claim something as well. Writers, remember that artists have different schedules and timezones, and that though we try to accommodate everyone, your fic may not be claimed in the first few hours. Please be patient, and don’t look at claims as a competition This challenge is about pairing like-minded creators who will work together to produce exciting new Steve/Tony content; sometimes it takes a while for the right person to come along!

Artists, if the claim time is inconvenient for you, we encourage you to find someone who will put in a claim for you by proxy. All your proxy has to do is comment on the claims post instead of you when the time comes, providing your username, email and claims as set out above in this post. If you do not already know someone who can do this for you, you can email the mod team (cap.im.events@gmail.com) for assistance in finding a proxy.

When matching is complete, we will send out emails to connect artists with their writers, along with further instructions. This might take a while, as making a mistake at this crucial stage is something everyone would like to avoid; please don’t panic if you don’t receive an email immediately. NOTE: After you receive the email, PLEASE RESPOND DIRECTLY CONFIRMING you have received the information. Please wait until you have replied to this email before contacting your partner. After confirming the assignment email has been received, it is the artists’ and writers’ responsibilities to open communications with team members and keep in touch for the duration of the collaboration.

A word about warnings: Many of these stories include strong language, substance abuse, sexual situations, violence, etc. We limited warnings here to the big stuff. If you have a specific concern and would like the mods to vet a story draft before you make your choices, please let us know at cap.im.events@gmail.com.

Please send any questions or things to cap.im.events@gmail.com, especially if we've made a mistake with your summary.

List of Available Summaries

ALFA

Genre: Angst, Hurt/Comfort
Universe: MCU - post Iron Man 3 & Winter Soldier, Pre-Age of Ultron
Characters/Pairings other than Steve/Tony: Natasha Romanoff, Clint Barton, Thor, Bruce Banner, Sam Wilson, mentions of Bucky Barnes
Warnings: Alcohol abuse (but not alcoholism)
Rating: Mature
Summary:

Fresh from being fished out of the Potomac, Steve struggles with the revelation (and loss) of Bucky, and deals with his feelings it in the only way he knows how: he doesn't. Most days, he tells himself it’ll all be okay, because it has to be.

Slowly, the cracks in Steve’s veneer begin to show. He throws himself into fights, drinks too much of Thor’s Asgardian mead, wakes up and wishes he never woke up. Tony sees all of this, Steve doesn’t realize that Tony seeks him out to make sure he isn’t alone. They get the rest of the team together to hunt down Hydra bases and find out more information about Bucky (a fruitless effort), and they all spend time together watching movies and dancing to The Beatles.

Steve doesn’t mean to notice the way Tony’s thigh presses against his when they watch movies together, doesn’t mean to open up to Tony about how he really feels about being Captain America and finding out his best friend is kind of not really dead, doesn’t mean to kiss him, but he does, anyway.

Tony can't forget Strange's last words and some things seem to point him to what he has to do next to set things right and along the way he will have to work out the complicated feelings for Steve.

Not if Kang the Conqueror has something to say about it!

INDIA

Genre: Contemporary AU
Universe: Alternative Universe: College/University
Characters/Pairings other than Steve/Tony: Bucky/Nat, Past Steve/Bucky, Slight Pepper/May, Sam/Sharon
Warnings:None
Rating: Teen
Summary:

There were several reasons as to why Tony Stark had decided not to go to MIT, instead following with his sister Natasha to a small town college in Upstate NY. One of the reasons was because this was where one of his favorite authors was teaching a fiction writing class, and he wanted to have at least one chance to write before he had to go be the head of Research and Development at Stark Industries, following his older brothers path, all three of his brothers were already working at the company. The second was the chance to go somewhere where there was a small possibility that no one would really notice him, he didn't really stand out when he was just himself. The third was to stay out of his father's way all the while writing fanfiction about his favorite superhero Captain America. On the first day he meets Steve Rogers, and from that moment forward Tony's life changes more than he could imagine.

Steve Rogers hated Captain America, his father had created the character for him when he was a baby, like his brothers who also had their own comic book characters, but for some reason Captain America had become his father's most popular character. It had also made Steve a target while he was growing up, which was something he had hated all of his life. Now a Junior at college, he meets his best friend's roommate, someone who absolutely loves Captain America, but there's something else that has caught Steve's eye. In some of the drawings above Tony's desk is another hero, a man in a metal suit, but as he gets to know the hero he also gets to know the guy behind Iron Man, and finds himself falling in love with the writer as well as finding a reason to like a character he had hated all of his life through Tony's stories.

Partly based on Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl, follow Tony and Steve as they navigate their new relationship, through misunderstandings, dickish classmates, Steve's art, Tony's stories, superheroes and figuring out what dating is like.

KILO

Genre: science fiction, Doctor Who/pre-MCU crossover
Universe: MCU
Characters/Pairings other than Steve/Tony: The Doctor (10th)
Warnings: none
Rating: M, will probably become E
Summary:

It’s only natural that Tony’s curiosity was piqued when a blue police call box appeared right in the heart of MIT. For one, Tony had never seen cops use a police call box before. He wasn’t even sure that anyone here even knew what a police call box is – he for sure didn’t, but he wanted to find out.
The secrets were bigger on the inside, after all.

(This is a post-Endgame not-really-fix-it/time travel au where Captain Stevens meet up with MIT Tony that features crack, the Doctor and Tony bashing heads, and some action. Also, Butterfingers as a Dalek.)

For Tony, everything started when the Avengers disassembled and Wanda was missing. He felt lost and without Steve at his side, nightmares came to him. But just now, those nightmares seem to proceed from somewhere else with the premonition of a dark future and his death. He needs to tell Steve what he feels before falling asleep again or that dream will be the last one he has.

Summary:

In Siberia, Tony doesn’t attack Bucky. Instead, Tony cries. When Steve kisses him, Tony recoils, shocked. After Zemo’s arrest, Tony takes Steve to a safehouse. They spend one glorious night together, but Tony later reveals this was for revenge and swears Steve will never touch him again.

Two years later, Tony is loudly but unhappily engaged to the abusive Tiberius Stone. Steve, still bitter, leads the Avengers. When Thor and Bruce return, Tony and Steve reunite. Thanos attacks New York and removes Steve’s serum, nearly killing him. Only Carol’s intervention saves the day. After emergency surgery, Steve is moved to the ICU. A devastated Tony keeps watch over him. Steve wakes, embarrassed and hostile, but can’t bear for Tony to leave.

When Steve’s immune system fails, he is rushed to isolation. Only the Infinity Stones can save him now, but when Thanos returns to attack Wakanda, Tony chooses to stay with Steve. Without the serum, Steve only gets sicker. They finally talk, but too late. Tony watches Steve die. When Thanos is defeated, the Avengers gather at the hospital to mourn with Tony. But after a last desperate act, Steve is magically revived. Cue happy ending. (Tiberius meets Scary Steve.)
