A More Permanent Hell

I've been wanting to write this for a while now, and decided if I'm going to do it, it needs to be before Avengers is released, because then, I'm sure, it'll be totally ruined [g] One of the things I'm hoping for in the movie, is them dealing in some way with Steve's friend Howard Stark, and the very different man that was Tony's father. This is my take on that.

Fandoms: Marvel Movies: Captain America, Iron Man
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings/Notes: Complete, pre-friendship, Steve Rogers & Tony Stark.
Character(s): Steve Rogers, Tony Stark.
Summary: Steve attempts to deal with the ghosts of the past - both for himself and for Tony.

A Good Man

"Howard Stark was a good man," Steve said, trying to connect with that man's son, nearly seventy years later.

Tony laughed harshly. "Yeah? He might have been a good man, but he was a hell of a bad father!"

( Steve tried to interrupt, but seeing the obvious pain in Tony's eyes, the words died on his lips. He didn't know why it was so important to get Tony to accept that Howard Stark was a man worthy of a son's pride. But he'd felt like he owed it to Howard, owed it to Tony.  )

This was pretty much finished, just needed some sprucing up, and I figured there was no point letting it languish on the hard drive till I feel inspired to write again. I don't even have a title yet, so have temporarily titled it, though it may end up sticking.

==================================

Notes: In the final part of Transformative Variations, Tony mentions a book his Aunt Peggy gave him as a boy. This is the story of where that book came from.
Character(s): Peggy Carter, Charlotte Sparrow
Summary: A few years after the war, two friends discuss loss, love, and moving on.

Tales of the Seven Seas

1952 ~ South Carolina

"You have a lovely home," Peggy Carter told her hostess. "I'm very glad that you convinced me to visit."

Charlotte looked around the inviting kitchen of her Revolutionary War era home and smiled. "Thank you." She poured more tea into her guest's cup. "I only had electricity put in a few years ago – I thought it was perfectly fine without, but Ezra complained bitterly when he and Molly visited. I gave in." ( She grinned, remembering Ezra's melodramatic protests at the lack of amenities in her old home. )

Rating: PG
Notes: This contains spoilers for Captain America: the First Avenger, and follows Everything Old Is New Again, and probably before The House of Keebler (We'll have to see how The Avengers timeline plays out.). It's set a few weeks after the end of Captain America, modern day.
Summary: Recent events bring back old memories for Nick Fury.

Added Note: have added a Marvel Movies tag since a lot of these stories aren't exactly direct individual movie crossovers.

I'll Be Seeing You

"How's my favourite top secret agency director?" Charlotte Sparrow asked cheerily, poking her head around the open door of Nick Fury's office at SHIELD headquarters in Manhattan.

Fury cracked a smile at his unexpected visitor. "I'm your favourite? I never knew." He waved her in. "He has a headache," he answered.

( Charlotte settled herself on the small couch at the far end of the large office, setting her purse and several shopping bags of various sizes next to her. )
