I (created from fantasies) exist solely for you is a Steve/Tony story by Mizzy. It was created for the Marvel Universe Big Bang 2012. The author warns that this is identity porn without porn.

Summary: Six years ago, without the Avengers Initiative there to save the day, scientist Dr. Eric Selvig sacrificed himself to save the world, the almighty demi-god Thor was lost to a terrible storm, and vigilante Iron Man – spotted with a nuclear weapon trying to take advantage of the situation – was forever labelled an enemy of SHIELD. This is a comic book office AU, where Steve is defrosted a year too late, Thor has forgotten who he is, and no one knows Tony is Iron Man. Also includes: office pranks, inappropriate post-it notes, and superheroes who like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain.

Two big bang artists created fanart for the story, le_prince_lutin[1] and koexmoxnakushi.[2]

Recs and Reviews

premise of this au pt 1: steve was defrosted a year later, after the whole invasion thing. premise of this au pt 2: therefore the avengers didn't get shield support; they're working for fury (and stark) directly and covertly, and their cover story is the comic "the retaliators", produced by "stark comics", at which they all work.[3]

One of the most fascinating AU's that turned a shit storm of a situation into a happy ending that I've had the pleasure of encountering. :D

Memorable events:

- Tony Stark never revealed himself to be Iron Man. Instead, he lived a life of recluse after the events of IM1
- Steve defrosted a year late (exactly one year after the Chitauri invasion). As a consequence, Dr. Selvig sacrificed himself to save the world, Thor lost his memories in his grief (along with his powers), and Iron Man was labelled as a villain
- Steve suspects that Iron Man is not a villain and he may or may not be developing a budding romance with him. The amount of flirting during battle certainly doesn't hurt
- Green Goblin keeps attacking the Stark Tower
- Steve gets sent to work undercover for Stark Creative as part of a comics creation team to keep an eye on things. He discovers more than he bargains for. He also develops a massive crush for the ever-so-suave, Tony Stark.
- Shit hits the fan because Green Goblin is a crazy bastard.
- Happy ending :D[4]

LET ME JUST SAY THAT IF YOU START READING THIS, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO STOP UNTIL THE VERY END SO, BE READY FOR LATE-NIGHT READING AND GIGGLING IN THE NIGHT AND JUST FLUFF AND ROMANCE IN GENERAL[5]

I kind of love how this mixes the MCU into an office AU. It’s like the two stories got mixed together in a blender to make a delicious smoothie of a fic. I love how it builds up not only Tony and Steve’s relationship but also his relationship with the other Avengers.[6]
