Summary
“For if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live” (Romans 8:13).
Dennis wears the coverings of his youth: traditional black undershirt that covers him from neck to wrists and gloves that he only takes off in the safety of his own home. He wants to be touched. Doesn't know how to ask.
Robby has long-since given up on finding his soulmate - if he even has one. At fifty-two, he's tired of waiting. Tired of wanting. Tired of hoping.
Then: the shift from hell (and that's saying something after Pittfest), a hole in a glove, and a record-breaking number of scrubs changes.

Summary
Tony Stark, the god of fire, smiths, and metalworking, is the son of Howard Stark, King of the Gods, and Maria Stark, goddess of marriage. Later accounts would indicate that Tony – or Hephaestus, as he was better known – had no father. Tony had intended that to be the outcome when he started the rumor himself.

Summary
(I read a text post on Pinterest about how Persephone found the Underworld on a little frolic through the nearest meadow and decided she liked it there - she wasn't kidnapped or whatever - and all I could think about was a lonely Tony Stark, God of the Underworld, and a plucky pre-serum Steve that didn't go where he was told and fell in love with the rough and tumble mechanic that made beautiful things out of scraps and didn't quite know how to love. Save me.)
"And the Greeks feared him more than his husband because Hades could be reasoned with but little Steve Rogers was the fire that fueled the Underworld and the smoke that suffocated sinners."
(Also known as "The Author has FEELINGS about Tony Stark being The Merchant of Death and Steve Rogers loving him anyway".)

Summary
That's what Steve is doing one Sunday when Agent Coulson appears out of thin air with an armful of paperwork, Steve's freshly laundered uniform, and a rather dry remark of "Clint and Bucky are spending rather a lot of time together".
Steve blinks at him in surprise, halfway out of his seat with his mouth hanging open in preparation to shout at one of the refs on the screen.
"Ah," Coulson says pleasantly, "Oakland A's and Royals in Kansas City, 1990." He drops the paperwork on Steve's coffee table, shucks off his suit jacket, and damn near flops onto Steve's couch. Steve thinks his eyes are quite possibly going to pop out of his skull and realizes rather belatedly that he should probably sit down and shut his mouth sometime soon.
OR
"Sunday is Laundry Day" from Steve & Phil's point of view.
