the reason you ruminate the shadowy past is a Steve/Tony story by Mizzy. It was written for the Avengers Big Bang[1] and uses the pretending to be a couple trope.
Summary: So, Captain America effectively manages to cockblock Tony for a year. It's not Steve's fault. Well, actually, it is. But he was just proving a point - that if a superhero is gay, how can it be wrong? Steve just picked the wrong superhero to make the point with. Now America will think they're dating - and Tony's not going to be the guy to break Captain America's heart. There's only one way out. To save face, Steve and Tony have to become fake boyfriends. Steve thinks the "boyfriends" bit will be the hardest to act... but maybe it's the "fake" part that will be the hardest act of all...
Recs and Reviews
FAKE DATING. ALSO, THIS IS THE MOST ADORABLE STEVE/TONY FIC EVER TO EXIST SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY THE CUTENESS LEVELS ARE AT CRITICAL MASS JUST GO READ OK[2]
Steve accidentally outs himself, the only solution is to have Tony pretend to be his boyfriend. He can do that. Probably. The fake bit might be a problem though.[3]
Steve really hates injustice, and he really likes Tony. These things come together in a could-have-been-a-romantic-comedy-movie series of events.[4]
