It’s hard to reconcile the man he sees on TV and in magazines, the Tony Stark that’s larger than life, polished, sharp, with the man sitting on the steps of the ambulance with his daughter on his lap, both wrapped in an emergency foil blanket.

Now, sitting outside the ruins of his house, he’s just a man.

steve stumbles upon fanfiction written about himself and tony.

🕰️ will you be there in the morning? by soliloquent

11,7k words // pairing: tony stark/steve rogers

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.

Instead of funds in his bank account, Steve finds billionaire Tony Stark at his door with a bouquet of roses. or ”What will it be, Steven Rogers?" asked the man in green. "True love? Absolute power? What is your heart’s desire?” Right now, Steve's heart desired this commercial transaction to end. He wanted to sell the guy his paperweight and get him out of the shop. The man was obviously crazy, and Steve definitely hadn’t told him his name, so how did he know it? “Don’t trouble yourself with the details,” the man said breezily, as if Steve had spoken aloud. “What about riches, Steven?
