There are fanfictions where the fight is a result of miscommunication. Maybe Steve thinks Tony is being too controlling with the Avengers, and Tony believes Steve is being too reckless. This misunderstanding can lead to an intense fight scene that many fanfiction writers like to explore.
One reason could be jealousy. Maybe Tony has been spending more time with one of them, and the other feels left out and jealous. For example, if Tony has been helping Steve with some high - tech projects and Bucky feels ignored, it could lead to a fight. Another reason might be a misunderstanding. They could misinterpret Tony's actions towards each of them. Say, Tony gives Steve a special gift, and Bucky thinks it means something more than just friendship, leading to a fight.
Fans write these fanfictions because the conflict between Tony and Steve in the official Marvel universe is so rich and complex. It gives a lot of room for creativity.
Perhaps in a post - Endgame world, Tony didn't die but lost his memory. Steve takes it upon himself to help Tony regain his memories. Along the way, they re - explore their relationship, the Avengers, and all the events that led to that point. Steve shows Tony videos and tells stories, and slowly Tony starts to remember, leading to a renewal of their friendship and a new start for the Avengers.
I think Steve would win. He has that moral high ground most of the time and is extremely disciplined. In a fight, his strategic thinking would come into play. Bucky, on the other hand, while being a great fighter, might be more impulsive in this situation. Since they are fighting over Tony, Steve could use his charm and the fact that he's seen as a more 'good -guy' figure in general to sway Tony's opinion, which could give him an edge in the fight.
I would recommend 'Steve and Tony: The Unlikely Pair'. In this fanfiction, their relationship starts off rocky due to their different ideologies but then blossoms into a strong partnership. 'Forging a New Path' is also worth reading. It shows how they navigate through political intrigue together while also strengthening their bond. 'The Promise of Tomorrow' is a heartwarming story that focuses on their hopes and dreams for the future and how they support each other in achieving them.
Not at all. Steve and Tony have a complex relationship in their own story. By listening to Tony fanfiction, he could be trying to gain a new perspective on Tony. It's like looking at a familiar painting from different angles. Fanfiction offers different takes on a character, and Steve might be curious about those interpretations.
In the fanfiction, Steve leaving Tony for Bucky could also make Tony more guarded in future relationships. He might be less likely to trust people easily, especially those who were close to Steve. And Steve, on the other hand, might be focused on building his relationship with Bucky, leaving little room for any kind of reconciliation with Tony.
Well, it could severely strain their relationship. Tony might feel betrayed and hurt. He could start to question Steve's loyalty. Since Steve is ignoring him for Bucky, Tony might become resentful towards both Steve and Bucky. It could lead to a rift that's hard to mend in the story.
