Who's the St in Stony? Obadiah Stane?
That I probably would read, for shits and giggles.
Oh no, it's Steve Rogers. In addition to being an annoying portmanteau, it's a ship with no grounding in the MCU at all, and one I don't especially care for in 616 even where it DOES make sense in that they've actually been friends for years and stuff. (But, you know, I feel that 616 Tony deserved so many metal arm cock punches it's not even funny. I know people who feel he was right in Civil War, and I'm all.. "WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU EVEN THINK THAT???" though the only people in Civil War I really felt for were Jessica and Luke. So.)
And it's EVERYWHERE.
it's a ship with no grounding in the MCU at all
Did you SEE that scene in Avengers? Trust me, there was plenty of grounding for that ship. In my pants.
No need for a portmanteau, though.
Steve/Tony is a huge, huge NOTP for me. MCU!Tony with anyone but Pepper and/or Rhodey is a NOTP. Octopus noping out levels of NOTP.
Steve/Bucky, though? Hells yes. Steve/Bucky/Peggy? All of the yes.
I'm all sad that after Winter Soldier, most of the Stony writers abandoned ship and got on the Steve/Bucky (Sucky!) ship.
Heh, that's where I find the bulk of the WOOPS! I REPLACED THE LISTED PAIRING WITH FOLGERS STONY! AHAHAHA! BET YOU DIDN'T NOTICE, SUCKA! (Yes, yes I noticed, writer. I have added you to my list of writer I will never read again, thank you kindly.)
And the character assassination stories regarding Bucky. And other shit involving Sam that would just get me angry to even type about, though the wank storm was blown out of proportion.
In the MCU, I am basically Team Ship All The Things with a handful of exceptions. Steve/Tony is my no-fly zone, though. I've tried. I've challenged it! I've gone, "Welp, this is practically a bulletproof kink!" and then had to back out because, nope.
My other exceptions are, like, 99% of the Clint/Natasha, because the amount of OOC shit makes my eyes roll out of my head, and anything with Darcy where I don't already know and trust the writer for similar reasons.
I also don't really read most Steve/Peggy, because I am so in love with their epic doomed romance that I don't WANT fix-it fic! I'm all heart eyes about their tragedy, damn it!

Yep. My pants were not moved.

Same, except my and/or includes Bruce. And I think I've read that foursome. Err.
Steve/Sam has become such an OTP for me that it kind of ruined any other Steve pairings for me, even Steve/Bucky.
That said, I LOVE some one-sided Steve/Bucky pining (one-sided either direction).
I don't have strong feelings most ways about the MCU ships. They can be togeher in different ways or all together. I do like the ones where Steve plays all innocent but really isn't. There was a Steve/Tony one like that.
I have read something that was Stane/Tony but it was previous relationship that was really abusive.
There have been 2 fics I've read (MCU fics) where I just couldn't stomach them. One I was reading and going... you know this can't get any more distur--oh and we did. So I scrolled down to read the comments which were a few "This is great" but mostly "WHY??" and also "Not antatomically possible AT ALL!" and the author was rather defensive because she did put warnings. If there is anything more of A NOPE NOPE NOPE than the Nope Octopus that would have been me.
The other was Steve/Tony/Clint with sexually experienced and kinky Steve (which I like) but it veered quickly inot beastality territory and I just backed out and tried to remember the name of the story so I wouldn't click it. I didn't want to bookmark it.
Is there a way on AO3 to mark something NEVER READ THIS AGAIN!
I have read a LOT of Steve/Sam/Bucky/Nat. (And Steve/Sam/Bucky, and Steve/Bucky/Nat.)
Solves all the problems right there.
Is there a way on AO3 to mark something NEVER READ THIS AGAIN!
I wish. It would stop my hate read of a certain story.
I read all the Steve/Howard one night. I was sad that there wasn't more, and that there wasn't BETTER Steve/Howard. Because, apparently, that I'd totally read.
