THE THOR OF POSITIVITY SHALL NOW AND FOREVER MORE BE THE BEST THING EVER
There were two professors like this in my department and I was one of like 20 people who was taught by both of them so there was a very small gang of us who knew that Professor Brick Wall and Professor Overshare were married with two kids.
imagine your OTP
Steve and Tony. Who is Overshare and who is Brick Wall?
@sabrecmc My first instinct was to say Tony is Overshare, but consider instead; Tony grew up somewhat in the spotlight because of Howard and Maria being a famous business man and socialite. And he absolutely hated it.
So, sometime during Tony’s time at MIT, when he was old enough to make the decision, Tony just kind of vanished out of the public eye. Fast forward ~25 years, and people vaguely remember the Stark kid, but no one’s heard anything about him in forever.
And so no one makes the connection between Howard Stark’s genius son, and Doctor Stark, the snarky but private engineering professor.
Meanwhile, Professor Rogers can’t seem to shut up about his husband. His students make bets about how many times he’s going to mention him per lecture, which anecdotes he’s going to tell them etc. If they really, really don’t want to do any work, they trick him into talking about their wedding, which always makes Professor Rogers gush, and smile, and sniffle for at least half an hour.
(Everyone is shocked when mechanics student Peter Parker attends one of Professor Rogers’ art classes, and casually reveals the Stark/Rogers relationship.
“Oh, it’s not a secret? I don’t think? Like, I had some trouble my freshman year, and Professor Stark helped me out during office hours. He has a picture of them on his desk?”)
Post war, older Omega!Tony, who was far more central to the success of his side than many realize, faces continued threats to his lands and a lack of soldiers eager to follow an Omega’s orders, despite what riches he promises them. Enter General Fury with a proposal: Bond with an Alpha, who will guard your lands and who the soldiers will willingly follow, even considering his lowborn status. He’s even willing to agree to a Bond in name only. When Tony finds out it isn’t just any Alpha, but the famed war hero Tony once joined forces with to defeat Hydra, Tony assumes it is to have access to his money and title and the power that comes with that. Who wouldn’t want that, after all? Steve Rogers turns out to be nothing at all like what he imagined. Featuring lots of pining!Steve, Steve being a self-sacrificing, incredibly brave idiot, two dorks without a decent amount of self-worth between them and Only This Once Because I’m in Heat and Have Needs But It Definitely Doesn’t Mean Anything Sex.
In the middle of a war, courtesan!Tony is a conduit for vital information for Fury’s rebellion. He serves in Pierce’s court, apparently quite enjoying his particular brand of loyalty, and is privy to secrets that he willingly passes on to aid the rebellion, though few know his role. Captain of the Guard Steve Rogers is also secretly part of the rebellion. What better way to share secrets that could mean their deaths than by pretending to use Tony’s services? What starts out as an arrangement of necessity quickly becomes something else entirely. Fury has plans for Steve, and those don’t include a former courtesan everyone knows slept his way through Pierce’s court. Featuring lots of Steve angrily frowning at Tony being with other people while Definitely Not Being Jealous, angst because *sob* they Can’t Possibly Be Together, misjudging each other and Not Quite Hate Sex.
I want to move to a cabin and just write. *sigh* Too many ideas, not enough time!
