tony stark’s guardian angel

Summary: The wound, though grievous, would close, given time and anger hot enough to cauterize. As long as Tony didn't pick the scab, as long as Tony eventually stopped loving him, like he promised.

If you haven't already heard, it's the tenth anniversary of CA:CW and there's a Steve/Tony event for it: @stevetonycacwfest! I'm running it with my friend, @magicasen. This is my submission for the Steve/Tony CA:CW 10th anniversary prompt fest as well as @lightsonparkave round 65.

My inspirations for this fic are these prompts from the two events: "Liar" by Paramore and the scene from Fleabag where the priest tells Fleabag that her love for him will pass.

Also inspired by this sucker punch of an art piece based on the Fleabag scene by @citsiurtlanu/@californiatowhee, whom this fic is for.<3 Thanks for being such a great friend, lanu! I'd go on about how grateful I am to have met you and share this fandom with you except the notes section would be a gazillion words long like our DMs haha.

safe line for wylanllupin (MCU, 5,773 words)

Steve is as good as dead to the world for damn near a day after he hits the Potomac. The last thing he remembers is a beam of light cutting through the dark of the water, and when he comes to with sore limbs and a busted lip and a nasty black eye and holes in his abdomen that cry out every time he so much as shifts his torso, he’d been in the dark for so long that it’s almost hard to open his eyes in the sun.

you've got a hold on me for ABrighterDarkness (MCU, 1,845 words)

“I thought you’d be out for your date with Tony already.” “He’s still stuck in a board meeting, we’re doing lunch later.” Steve freezes as the full weight of Nat’s words sink in, and feels his face heat automatically. “And it’s not a date.”
