Summary
“If you did play chess," Ross said, "you’d remember that a pawn can become a queen. The most powerful piece on the board, Parker, remember that? But—” Ross smiled— “only if it obeys.”
He adjusted his tie, stood, and looked down at Peter. “I’ll ask you again,” he said. “Eventually. You may feel differently after you’ve been living in a six-by-six cube without sunlight or fresh air for a few years.”
“What pawns do,” Peter said, voice shaking slightly, “is sacrifice themselves for the greater good. I have no regrets.”
He had a lot of regrets.
Like, a lot. A crapton. A shitload. An overloaded dumpsterful.
“When I visit you on the Raft,” Ross said, “you’ll be old enough to grow a beard.” The cell door clicked shut behind him.

Summary
It’s a man’s world. Steve knew that. And fifty years had changed nothing but the extremes people were willing to go to justify their hatred of Demons.
Which meant that under no circumstances was anyone to ever find out that Captain America was one.

Summary
Sometimes the truth is like a second chance.
The ashes of the Triskelion have barely cooled when Steve arrives unbidden at Stark Tower. He doesn’t quite know what he’s looking for, so it’s a good thing someone seems to; Sharon thinks she should be getting hazard pay (she should); Phil is beginning to understand why Fury was perfectly happy to stay publicly dead; Natasha and Sam in no way signed up to be relationship counsellors and want their money back; Bucky is waiting for the other shoe to drop like an anvil on his head; and bureaucracy is as impossibly, torturously stupid as it always is. Honestly, the fine print in superhero contracts needs a lot of revision.
Or: the one in which we accidentally wrote half of (and preemptively fixed) Captain America: Civil War before D23, except gayer.
Note: For anyone who prefers waiting for WIPs to finish before reading, all substantive plot has concluded with chapter 5! 6 is essentially a (long) epilogue of pure fluff to recover from the previous 150,000 words; no major plot developments occur.

Summary
In the wake of the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the Avengers need to pick up the pieces, and figure out where to go from here. Tony had a plan, at least he thought he had a plan, but Steve Rogers seems to have blown most of those out of the water.
Spoilers for CA:TWS, lots of them.
Summary is a little vague to avoid spoiling, but it's a plotty, post CA:TWS 'what do we do now' fic.

Summary
Tony Stark resigned his commission in Starfleet five years ago, after a disastrous away mission, and he swore he'd never go back. He just wants to be left alone to build warp engines in peace. But the universe has more in store for him than that, as he discovers when Admiral Fury comes to him with an offer he could never have expected and cannot possibly refuse: first officer and chief engineer aboard the all-new USS Avenger, a starship of Tony's own design. What's more, the Avenger's captain is Steve Rogers, hero of the Earth-Romulan War. Believed dead for over a century, Steve is miraculously alive... and very, very attractive.
But nothing is ever easy for Tony. As he wrestles with his secret desire for his new captain and his not-so-dormant fears, another mission starts to go wrong, and Tony becomes aware that Steve has secrets of his own -- and the truth could change everything.
