oh god don't look at me do you even know DO YOU EVEN KNOW??? (all quotes paraphrased probably)

"you were the first voice i heard out of the ice" "you gave me a home tony" "the thing is, you can't just be against something, cap, you've gotta be for something better," "i'm not half the man i am as when i'm standing next to him [steve]" "there are just times that you have to go home, and right now this is where I belong"

ironman: "you've been sad lately?" steve: "yeah i've been acting weird." ironman: "well i'm a superhero not a therapist but if you need to talk...

i: "i need to tell you--" s: "i'm bUSY" i: "fine im going to keep talking" s: "hOPE YOU DON'T MIND ME USING THIS FANCY MACHINE TONY STARK INVENTED. IT'S COOL. IT IS A REALISTIC FIGHTING OPPONENT" i: "yeah look" s: "what are you going to tell me it wasn't my place to critisize your leadership because i'm not pulling my weight?" i: "no i'm apologizing!" s: "nope it's my fault i've been lax and non vigilant" i: "fINE! but i feel the sameway, i've been a bad leader and have been letting other responsibilities keep me away from avengers duties" i:  "and when i focused on avengers i tried to do everything myself because i feel guilty or something. i just wanted you to know that i'll try harder or. or i'll step down if you think i should" s: "oh. no, i guess... my problem was that all my friends die and when i thought you weren't taking this seriously, that you duties to stark were interfering" i: "NO! no, and about stark, i should've told you a long time ago--" s: "keep your secrets iron man.you lead, i'll follow that's enough"

AND GODDAMN IF EVEN WITH ALL HIS PAIN AND GUILT SELF HATRED AND SELF DESTRUCTIVE TENDENCIES IF TONY STARK ISN"T THE PACIFYING PARTY

"What's up" "I am going stir crazy" "even superheros, especially superheros need a break captain" "but what am i supposed to do as Steve Rogers... i've been looking for my past when i should be looking for my future" "let me show you something" [takes cap outside] "the roof?" "surely, in the country that gave you your name, the country you sacrificed so much for... you can find a home? there's a life out there for you, you just need to find it" "i, i sppose so" "NOPE, everyone has problems, it comes with the gig, but if you try. if you try to find yourself a new life, i know you can work it out, cap,"

sTEVE TEACHES HIM HOW TO FIGHT AND LITERALLY EVERY FIGHT AFTER TONY IS CONSTANTLY THINKING "this guy is huge, but i learned to punch from captain aamerica himself" "this guys no slouch, but i give him a captain america patented round house"

"i don't know how you do it cap, no armour no weapons, so super human abilities. you put us all to shame"

BUT STEVE TOO

"you made a mistake, everyone makes mistakes tony,the important thing is to learn from them and bounce back! and you can do it mister, you're an avenger"

though really tony does most of the reassuring 

"everYONE I LOVE GETS HURT BECAUSE THEY KNOW ME *guilt guilt guilt guilt*" "no, steve,that's part of being who we are, i'm sorry, it's not your fault"

AND WHEN STEVE TRIES TO HELP TONY WITH THE ALCOHOL PROBLEM though i think  he coulda done better THAN JUST WALK AWAY GOD STEVE

oh god they just UGH

Tony sacRIFICING HIMSELF OVER AND OVER FOR STEVE AND TO KEEP STEVE BALANCED AND PURE (which is fucked up tony but, a moirails duty is to keep their partner sane and balanced and steve does much better with tony's death than tony ever does with steve's)

THE ENTIRETY OF CIVIL WAR

*a moment of silence for the civil war what ifs and how it's phrased like tony isthe problem instead of cap being stubborn*

"cap i'm glad we made up" "me too"

Tony "i'm dying and steve's acceptance and approval are the first thing i hallucinate" Stark

Steve "i can't stay in the future" Rogers "this is all you. you heart, you spirit this is the legend you created. you might not've been there but you made it possible. i'm jealous and grateful. lets go with grateful."

I JUST
