All Sheep in the Flock

Summary:

In which Tony tries to find the right bait to lure in the Winter Soldier, Ultron crashes everyone's party, and whoever added Thor to the group chat deserves at least a bronze medal.

Notes:

Ah shit, here we go again.

The sequel to Keep Boredom at Bay is here! Or, as it's known on the Stony discord, the Dick Pic Fic. I will reference a whole bunch of inside jokes from that so I'd suggest you read that one first if you haven't already. If you want to read this as a standalone I'll include a short summary of KBAB in the end notes of this chapter so you'll be up to date.

Anyway, welcome to another round of daily uploads! Corona is rampant and I'm bored out of my mind in quarantine (quite happily so, I hope none of you are personally affected by the virus either. If you are, I'm so sorry, I hope things get better for you soon <3). I don't think maintaining that upload schedule should be too hard what with me essentially sitting on my ass, so let's hope for the best. This fic starts a couple months after KBAB ended, I think you'll figure out soon enough where exactly we are in the timeline.

Also, just as a side note, I have a tumblr now where I post art and potentially mood boards and such for upcoming fics. If you want to check that out, just click right here.

Thank you so much for reading and I hope you'll enjoy this first chapter! Stay safe and wash your hands!

Chapter 1: Wednesday

Notes:

Short summary of Keep Boredom at Bay (warning: spoilers if you're planning on reading it at some point):

- Tony sends Steve a dick pic on accident and what started as slightly uncomfortable attempts at texting soon turns into a real friendship that leads to sexting and eventually an actual relationship

- The fic spans the events of Captain America the Winter Soldier, Steve tells Tony that Bucky killed his parents pretty much right away and after a bout of anger and some angsty angst Tony gets over himself and they pick up where they left off. Tony agrees to help Steve find Bucky and bring him home. They haven't had much success yet.

- At the end all the Avengers live together in the tower, Tony and Steve share the penthouse

- The Avengers know about their relationship and support them. The fic ends with Tony publicly announcing their relationship via an Instagram post
