Baskin-Robbins Always Finds Out.

Can we talk about the fact that Tony remembers the “And we’ll do that together too” thing after 3 years, a divorce and lots of life-and-death situations?

did steve tell peggy he wasn’t his steve, or did he make sure the steve from that timeline was never found?

or did he only tell peggy and then kept his identity a secret until steve from that timeline was found and rescued? Did he tell that steve to move on and do what he couldn’t? Did he ask that Steve to help out Bucky, told him all the secrets of Hydra because he had finally let that life go, because he himself wanted to rest? Did he advice that steve to not be so hard on tony, to love him and cherish him because he was and would always be Earth’s Best defender? Did he make sure that That Steve had a beautiful life with Tony instead?

Me: Tony Stark

Them: Oh you mean Iron Man right-

Mcu Steve: *Vigorously fucking him with his eyes, trying to breathe through all the UST in the air, hands twitching to touch his waist or possibly butt* So. Weather’s nice tonight huh. 

616 Steve internally: His skin was smooth, silky. I thought of how it would feel to place my fingers on his pulse, trail the tips of them across the expensive fabric, work my way up to those azure blue eyes and kiss that material right off his back. If only he felt the same. If only I was half the man that he would want. 

616 Steve externally: Hey are we getting a cab or walking?

Ults Steve: *Instantly hard & palpably sweating with arousal* wow you look fucking ugly

AA Steve: Sweetheart you look beautiful, I love you, you’re perfect. Let’s have sex immediately. Keep the tie on. Did anyone ever tell you you’re amazing like this? And you’re amazing when you’re not like this too. Keep the shirt on as well. I love you. I hope you know that.

“that’s my man” do i even need to elaborate

I just realized that when Steve lived his life in his alternate timeline with Peggy….he probably watched Tony be born, was there for him when he was growing up, was there to help Howard be a present dad. He probably held Tony in his arms as a baby, then a child, then a younger man. This Tony will know him as Uncle Steve, he would have always looked at him the way his own Tony wanted to look at him. With complete confidence and without the fear of rejection. This Tony will catch an unspeakable amount of undecipherable glances from Steve, sad and wistful but relieved, throughout his life. Steve will be part of this Tony’s young life, this Tony will not get shipped off to boarding school. This Tony’s parents won’t be murdered. It’s not to say that Steve can make this Tony’s life perfect, but he will have done all the damn things in his power to love and support this Tony.

He would’ve reached out to this Tony, in every way and everyday that he could. He would’ve rocked baby Tony in his arms, tears in his eyes, thinking about his own Tony. His brave, heroic, forgiving Tony. He would have looked into this baby’s brown eyes and get choked up by the storm of immensely complicated, tangled feelings of love and regret. He would have watched this Tony his entire life, knowing that he will never see his Tony again.

He misses his Tony. He’ll never stop thinking about him. He loved him. He still loves him. Many days the comfort of his life here feels almost like sharp pain, and he has to getoutgetoutgetout of his head. Is this what Tony felt when he settled down with Pepper and had Morgan? A kind of contentment that was, although hard-won, borne of a cureless grief. He still dreams about Tony, waking up with a craving for shwarma, something 1950s America does not have. Sometimes he feels so guilty that he gets to hold Peggy in his arms while Pepper lies awake at night, alone.

He has to remind himself, he is doing all of this to honor Tony’s memory. After all, this was Tony’s idea. Tony always wanted Steve to have a life he could actually live. After Tony died, he volunteered to return all the stones, alone.

Everyone else can still have a life here, but not him. Not him.
