Author:alexcat
Fandom: MCU
Pairing(s): Steve Rogers/Tony Stark
Rating: Teen and Up
Word Count: 5482
Warnings: Sad
Summary: After Tony is gone, Steve begins to get emails.
Author's Notes: The story was inspired by this song, suggested by Jenny: Halo by Lotte Kestner
My best story of this year:
Title: Fifteen Years On
Author:alexcat
Fandom: MCU
Pairing(s): Steve Rogers/Tony Stark, Stever Rogers/Peggy Carter
Rating: General
Word Count: 475
Warnings: Sad, very sad.
Summary: Steve goes back home to say goodbye again.

My most popular story of this year:
• Most popular by AO3 hit count: With You When the Deal Goes Down (MCU, Steve Rogers/Natasha Romanov)
• Most popular by AO3 kudos: The First Time ever (MCU, Steve Rogers/Tony Stark)
• Most popular by AO3 bookmarks: 4am Knows All My Secrets (MCU, Steve Rogers/Tony Stark)

Story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion:
Title: In a Town Called Timely
Author: alexcat
Fandom: MCU, Marvel 1872
Pairing(s): Steve Rogers/Steve Rogers
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 3880
Warnings: Angst
Summary: Steve uses the Pym particles and is transported somewhere he's never even heard of - Timely. He meets the sheriff - Steven Rogers, and Tony Stark, among others. The things that happen in Timely will leave him and the sheriff changed forever.
Author's Notes: This is the story for Clone sex/selfcest. There are many Marvel worlds and 1872 was the perfect one to send Steve to meet another Steve Rogers.
Most fun story to write:
I discovered the joys of Brock Rumlow and Steve:
Title: Hell in Your Eyes
Author: alexcat
Fandom: MCU
Pairing(s): Steve Rogers/Brock Rumlow
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 1652

Sexiest story/story with the single sexiest moment:
Bucky’s metal hand!
Title: The View is Fine
Author: alexcat
Fandom: MCU

Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 1112
Summary: Tony wants to watch very badly - and Steve and Bucky are happy to accommodate him.
Author's Notes: This is the story for Voyeurism.
Hardest story to write:
I have no actual answer for this one… words flow out of me like water. Not sure about the quality but I write like a demon.
Did you take any writing risks this year?
I wrote some new pairings that I wasn’t sure about – Steve Rogers/Brock Rumlow, Jack Rollins/Brock Rumlow
I also have a Mary Sue thing started on my HD but I’ve not posted any of it yet.
Do you have any fanfic or profic goals for the New Year?
Finish some long fics in my WIP folder
Write 300K
Maybe write a long Marvel 1872 au fic – I love 1872.
I thought I might give podfic a try if I have the right equipment
I also have 2 MTH fics to do.
Stories I haven't yet written, but intend to:
Hmmm… the 1872 thing, I think.
I also have an outline for a very dark Steve/Tony fic
I'd like to thank the academy ...
Um, well, I have several people who read a lot of my stuff:la_samtyr, firecat, and Selene Aduial. The mods at ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
cap_ironman always have wonderful prompts and challenges, and the mods at marvel_bang for hosting such a well-run Big Bang. My hubby, who betas some of my stuff and doesn’t mind hearing about it all the time. Jenny, who loves me and Thor!
