There's a fanfiction where they are stranded on a deserted planet. They have to rely on each other's skills, with Captain America's leadership and Tony Stark's technological know - how. They build a makeshift shelter and try to find a way to signal for help, all while having deep conversations about their pasts and what they value.
A popular fanfiction is about them time - traveling together. They go back to key moments in their own histories and try to make changes for the better. Along the way, they gain a new understanding of each other and their own places in the world.
The moment when they finally understand each other's viewpoints is often a great one in fanfiction. For example, in a story where they've been at odds, they sit down and really talk, realizing that they both want the same thing - to protect the world. It's a powerful moment of connection.
There is a fanfiction where Tony Stark creates a new piece of technology that goes wrong and Captain America has to help him fix it while also dealing with the public relations nightmare it causes. In this story, their friendship is tested as they face both external and internal challenges.
Well, in blind fanfiction about them, it could explore their emotional sides more deeply. For instance, if they were in a situation where they couldn't see the full picture (hence the 'blind' aspect), they might open up to each other more. Tony could share his insecurities about his role as Iron Man, and Captain America could talk about his struggles with adapting to the modern world. Their bond could grow stronger through these shared vulnerabilities.
Well, the theme of redemption can be seen often. Maybe Tony has to make up for something he did to Steve, or vice versa. Their mutual respect is also a big theme. Despite their differences, they learn to respect each other in many fanfictions. And the idea of sacrifice for the greater good, especially when they work together, is another common theme.
There is indeed. A lot of these fanfictions play with the complex dynamics between the two characters. They might take inspiration from the movies or the comics. For example, they could be set in a post - Civil War world where Steve and Tony have to reconcile not just their ideological differences but also their growing feelings for each other. Some fanfictions also delve into how their different backgrounds and personalities would mesh in a romantic relationship.
Another great author is [Author Name3]. Their fanfictions usually explore the backstories of Tony and Cap more deeply, showing how their different upbringings led to their current personalities and how they can overcome their differences through their friendship.
Well, I liked 'United Front in an Alternate World'. In this fanfic, Captain America and Tony Stark are thrown into a parallel universe where they must rely on each other more than ever. There's also 'A New Understanding' which does a great job of exploring their characters deeper. 'The Unlikely Alliance' is good too. It starts with them being at odds but gradually they start to respect and work with each other.
A prevalent theme could be discovery. They are in a situation where they don't have all the information (the 'blind' part), so they are constantly discovering new things about themselves, each other, and the situation they're in. Also, friendship is a big theme. Despite their differences, they could form a deep friendship in the fanfiction, which is different from their on - screen relationship at times.
One common theme is the 'opposites attract' concept. Captain America is often seen as the more old - fashioned, morally upright one, while Tony Stark is the modern, brash billionaire. Their differences create a lot of tension and also a basis for their relationship to develop. Another theme is redemption. After events like the Civil War, they might seek to make up to each other and in the process, fall in love.
One interesting plotline could be them teaming up against a new, powerful villain that neither the tech of Stark nor the leadership of Cap could easily defeat alone. They have to combine their skills and trust each other completely.
