I was in a fanfiction class writing "What if?"s, and this popped up. Why did I not look into this sooner?

Steve was starting to hate modern times.

There was different, almost inappropriate fashion, slang, and technology. Just because he was from the 40's, he couldn't handle a smartphone. He did his best to catch up, but the entire idea of the "Internet" simply made his head spin. So, he decided, I'll just ask Tony about websites.

Steve soon realized that he should never, under any circumstance, ask Tony Stark about technology. Interrupting his incessant talk about "memes", and "GIFs", Steve asked, "Yes, but is there anything for books on the Internet?" He had decided on literature, for it would at least give him something that he could comprehend.

"Oh, several," Tony replied casually. "There's GoodReads, and Bookbub, and Fan-" Suddenly, a wicked smirk crept up the inventor's face, his eyes turning devilish. "-and Fanfiction. Cap, you and I are going on a field trip into the Internet!" With that, he hooked his arm through the captain's, and dragged him off to his lab.

The lab seemed to have been ransacked, and gizmos littered the floor, covered with technicolor stains. Steve did his best not to trip, but it was practically impossible. Finally stumbling to the center of the room, Tony freed his arm from Steve's, put up a separate screen, and opened the site.

"Now Steve, it's time for a little vocabulary lesson," Tony began. "The term 'ship' as a noun refers to a couple a person wants to pair together romantically. As a verb, it means to pair that couple, such as, 'I ship Tony and Pepper'. People aren't really over us breaking up yet. Usually, there is a name for a ship, such as Pepperony, the ship of myself and Pepper. 'Canon' refers to the original plot line, setting, etc. of a story, movie, etc. 'OOC'..." Tony continued, naming all of terms he could remember off the top of his head, with the captain struggling to cram it all in his memory.

"These writers are a bit twisted at times. The fact that FrostIron exists, to me, is frankly disturbing."

"FrostIron?"

"The ship between myself, and- and- Loki."

Steve turned a beet red, and didn't seem to know whether to laugh, comfort Tony, or run out of the room. The poor man was so confused that as he took a step backwards, he slipped on a scrap of metal, landing on the floor with a loud thump. The inventor paused, taking in the scene, then burst into a fit of laughter, causing Steve to feel a tad humiliated as well as bemused.

"But that's just the beginning!" Tony exclaimed, helping the confused Capsicle up from the ground.

"You haven't seen Stony yet."

"Do I want to know?"

"Um... not really, but I want to see the look on your face when you read a Stony fic. Just search it here, and click on a random story."

So maybe showing Steve Stony wasn't the best idea in the world, but it sure was hilarious. Tony made sure to collect the security feed from JARVIS afterwards, kept it with his safest files, and backed-up his back-ups of it. When Steve had chosen a story, his expression was only apprehensive, but it had quickly changed to confusion, disgust, and utter embarrassment, while Tony had practically died from laughter. The captain had promptly fled from the lab, and wouldn't speak to the billionaire for a few days afterward. When Steve finally did make conversation with him, it was very carefully, and Tony noticed that Steve wouldn't so much as touch modern technology from then on.

So, there you have the first chapter! There will be plenty more where that came from.
