 A Marvel 616 Artist Steve AU for the SteveTony Games. again here because it's a bit different.

Janet had probably imagined something else when she told Steve that she would introduce him to Tony Stark because “that could be huge for you”.

Janet had been a blessing since she had picked Steve as her personal project which sounded more awful as it was. As an artist having someone with connections in the right circles could be game changing. The money she had already spent on several of his pieces didn’t hurt either. 

The best thing though was her attitude, as she considered them colleagues of sorts. Fashion design as she did it was an artform, so she wasn’t wrong. She considered rooting for him an act of solidarity in her own way.

The results spoke for themselves, especially at this moment when he had spent a whole evening talking to Tony Stark, West Coast galerist and Big Name in the national art scene. Steve knew who Tony was when Janet had suggested introducing them of course. What he hadn’t known was that he was even more handsome up close. And witty. And charming. And an art nerd extraordinaire. 

He probably should have expected that, but he didn’t, and now he barely cared if Tony would take up one or two of his painting to see if they would generate any interest among his clients. He rather wanted to take Tony home with him.
