tony stark’s guardian angel

it takes every ounce of strength tony has, but somehow, he manages to resist homewrecker steve's seduction when he shows up at his house.

alas, tony is only human; the next day, he decides to give the debauchery plan a try himself.

i know i hurt you, tony. i guess i thought... by not telling you about your parents i was sparing you, but… i can see now i was really sparing myself.

“He’s met with a pitch-black room, the only light coming from the faint glow of Tony’s arc reactor. In one corner, Captain America is crouched down, only half of his uniform on, his face buried in his hands. He doesn’t acknowledge Tony’s presence.”

or: Tony assists Steve during a panic attack.

Nobody on the entire battlefield says a word as Pepper tells Tony he can rest now. Steve hears it all — the change in Tony’s breathing, the way it catches, falters, then stops. The Iron Man suit’s faint systems wind down into silence as the nano case loses its light. It all happens at once, and then, just like that, there is nothing left to listen to.

Steve blinks, and he’s no longer on the field. He’s in his bed, clean and uninjured.

“What the fuck?”

or: Every time Tony dies in the final battle against Thanos, Steve’s day resets.

Interviewer (INT): You’ve declined all interviews since your retirement. Why now?

Steve Rogers (SR): I was convinced it was worth doing.

or: After nearly a decade out of the public eye, Steve Rogers agrees to reflect on his time as Captain America and why he stepped back. He gets asked about Tony, instead.

'the whole world is asking who's gonna be the next iron man… and i don't know if that's me, happy. i'm not iron man.'

'you're not iron man. you're never gonna be iron man. nobody could live up to tony, not even tony. tony was my best friend, and he was a mess; he second-guessed everything he did, he was all over the place. the one thing that he did that he didn't second-guess was picking you. i don't think tony would have done what he did if he didn't know that you were gonna be here after he was gone.'
