Lessons in Rule Breaking and Other Reader-Inserts*Steve Rogers*Reader*

Dear Reader aka Masterlist

You see him run past every morning. So you smile, because he looks like a nice person. How could he not be when he smiles back and the world stops for a while to pay respect to such beauty?

And sometimes... sometimes this incredibly handsome man smiles first.

→ GROUND RULES (FOR LOVE AND WAR)

Steve Rogers always has been a bit of a mystery – always polite, with a little bit of foot-in-mouth syndrome, unbelievingly kind and definitely good-looking – but a mystery anyway. He treated you differently from his friends. Why?

You would never expect the ongoing prank war between Bucky and Sam to shed light on the matter.

Of course, Tony Stark is also to blame. Whenever he isn't? You are his assistant – you would know.

→ WALK ME HOME TONIGHT (songfic)

Sometimes it's hard to be in a celebratory mood when all you can think of is that life sucks and you genuinely believe that being left on your own to drown your sorrows is for the best.

Sometimes, people who care about you know better than yourself and come crushing your party of one.

Sometimes, despite the popular belief, you do realize how lucky you are having been introduced to Steve Rogers.

→ THE RECIPE FOR LOVE

Also known as 'The Making of Love'.

The words Bucky said were nothing but innocent, truly. Except they wormed their way into your brain and now you're worried you're not enough.

A proper woman should be able to cook for her man.

Too bad you're a walking kitchen disaster; you'll just have to try in favour of your relationship with Steve flourishing, won't you? What could possibly go wrong?

→ CHALLENGE ACCEPTED...?

Steve's never been good at quick decision-making when it came to his own safety. After one particularly horrible experience, you find a way to remind him every day to think twice the next time he's faced with a tough choice.

He is not amused.

Prompt: "I thought you were dead." "You're never gonna let that go, are you?".

→ NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH

As you were introduced to one Steve Rogers by your friend Sam a while ago, it wasn't an unusual occurrence for the three of you to get lunch together. Hell, not even for you and Steve only.

Except that the one time you decided to go out for lunch instead of sticking to the Tower cafeteria, reporters took a photo and accused you and the Captain of dating.

What shocked you much more though was that Tony and Natasha wanted you two to just go with it in order to catch a criminal. Oh boy. This would have been much more acceptable if you didn't have a crush on that man which was a size of the US...

→ A MATTER OF TRUST

You and Steve get to go to a mission together after a while; free drinks, partying, dressing-up nicely, stealing blueprints, the usual. You might even enjoy this as a couple.

Or... not really. Of course something would go awry. What else did you expect when wearing these killer heels anyway?

Prompt: "Get in the closet, now!"

→ WALPURGIS NIGHT

For the once wandering eye of the former King Howard of Starkerbürg, the kingdom suffered a terrible loss.

As winter blossoms into spring, the night of Walpurgis arrives and another man is chosen to bring the long-lost princess, sister to King Anthony, home. No one has ever succeeded in the task; another spring equals another life lost.

Steven was not meant to be selected; he volunteered, taking another man's place. It is up to him to set foot into the woods where myths come to life and men of the kingdom meet their death.

Prompt: Fairy Tale AU

→  TALL AS THE SKYLINE, ROOTS LIKE A TREE

You are one step from officially becoming a SHILED agent. Involved in a secret relationship with Captain America, you feel like the world might lie at your fingertips. Until it doesn't because of your stupid inexplicable phobia.

Steve's friend might be able to help... except it would take an open mind and a huge leap of faith on your part.

You wonder... How much can a person endure to get where they want?

Prompt: What if your phobias are based off how you died in a past life

→  YOU MAKE MY WORLD SPIN (OR MAYBE IT WAS JUST THE BLOW TO MY HEAD)

After the Battle of New York and all the mess Tony gets involved in, Pepper believes he is in a need of an assistant slash tech genius. Enter You. While Tony is not amused by Pepper's idea at first... he soon warms up to you.

Mostly because he gets a kick from how your mere presence turns Steve's brain into a mass of uncooperative jelly. Comedy material, really.

Prompt: "Sorry... your hair was in your face... thought Iwould move it so I could see you better." 

→  A CUP OF TRUTH

Your favourite pretty blond comes in every day to get a cup of good ol' joe. You flirt on occasion; mostly you, because your suit of armour – which people boringly call an apron – and his smiles give you confidence.

When the band of dumb goons picks your damn workplace to attack, your confidence flies out of the window. Well. Good thing that the resident Avenger heroes save the day including the one in his all-American star-spangled glory.

Prompt:"You can't mask thatass. I'd know it anywhere." 

→  HOMECOMING

There is no feeling like this; coming home and having this waiting for you...what else could a girl want?

Prompt: Coming home to an eager puppy
