Summary
“You can be my trusted adult,” Dustin cuts in.
Steve blinks several times. “Huh?”
“You’re an adult,” Dustin says, like he’s talking to a three-year-old.
“…yes, Dustin.”
“And my mom trusts you.”
“Yeah, but…wait.” Steve sits back up, ramrod straight in his chair. “You’re not suggesting…”
“Come with me to New Zealand,” Dustin finishes, then adds a quieter: “Please?”
***
When Dustin Henderson parent-traps Steve and Eddie into taking him to New Zealand for a holiday and some Lord of the Rings sight-seeing, Steve's forced to confront the reality of what he really wants out of life. Is it working for his father in a job he despises to afford his sky-rise apartment in Chicago and the status that comes with it, or is it something else, something simpler, something truer to himself? On the windy back roads of New Zealand, amongst the most stunning scenery he's ever seen and with old flame Eddie Munson in his passenger seat, he figures it out.

Summary
Malibu, California,1994
Tony Stark is spiraling. Three years after losing his parents, he’s slid deep into addiction, reckless behavior and clubs full of Doms who don't care to realize he is self destructing during the painful, unsafe scenes.
Obadiah Stane hires former Army Captain Steve Rogers in a last ditch attempt to corral Tony by way of bodyguard/babysitter but no one is prepared for just how serious the untraditional Dominant will take his new assignment.
When a sinister figure from Tony’s past disrupts the slow romance between Dom/sub, the journey towards sobriety and happiness becomes a dangerous race to save Tony’s life and Steve has to prove he’s not just a good Dominant, but he’s a damn good bodyguard too.

Summary
When Howard Stark demands Tony work at a dig site in S.America one summer to "build character" and "learn about life", Tony is furious.
But then he meets soldier/archeologist Steve and falls in love with blue eyes and a perfect smile. Just as they are ready to move forward together, Steve leaves abruptly with no explanation and breaks Tonys heart.
Ten years later, Tony stumbles across the file for the old dig site. He's determined to visit and shut it down, but discovers that instead of a village, the dig has unconvered a temple and actually needs MORE money to stay open. A security team is hired to protect the staff and the artifacts they find, and Tony comes face to face with Steve Rogers all over again– except Steve is bearded and BIGGER and way more dangerous than he used to be...And Tony likes it.
When the camp is attacked, Steve jumps into action, snatching Tony and running into the jungle to escape and work their way towards safety.
But long days and nights together bring back old feelings, and one day Steve takes a risk and asks Tony to give them another chance.
Will Tony say yes? Or is his heart buried too far for the soldier-turned- archaeologist-turned-mercenary to find it?- Language:

Summary
Phil Coulson is an ordinary man with an ordinary job. He is a single parent with two daughters, Daisy, 17, and Maggie, 5. Every Saturday, Phil takes Maggie to story time at the local branch of the New York Public Library. When Clint Barton starts volunteering as an ASL interpreter for the program (and brings his son along with him), Maggie becomes fascinated with the language and Phil becomes fascinated with the man.
For fangirlasplosian (fangirlSevera), whose number one prompt was, “Single dads AU meeting while taking their kids to the library.” Thank you. Not only did I finally have a reason to attempt kidfic, but your prompt lit up my brain with this story, and any sequels that may follow. I hope this meets your expectations! Happy Holidays!
