Summary: Strange things, fairytales. Legends of mythical creatures, morals wrapped up in a whimsical narrative, curses and punishments bestowed on the unlucky few. Yet, one inevitable truth is that everyone finds their soulmate, the one they are destined to be with.

But Tony had seen what pain awaits soulmates, had learnt of its lessons straight from his mother’s lap. The constant tug and pull inside his chest to find his other half had been ignored for thirty years so far, he could ignore it for thirty more.

When he meets a mysterious artist named Steve Rogers, who tells him a story about a group of immortals called the Eternals, forced to watch their soulmates die over and over only to be reincarnated again and again, Tony finds himself inexplicably drawn to him.

‘You’ve been hurt…much more than I realized. God, Tony, I wish I’d found you sooner, that I could’ve protected you from all those who-’

‘Why did you find me, Steve?’ Tony asked, getting to his feet, feeling the ground lurch. ‘Because you’re the seventh reincarnation of my soulmate.’

13. Favorite character that we haven’t seen in a while/has an unexplainable disappearance?

the only one i can think of rn, is lady sif. she was such an awesome character of the thor franchise and i really like her, even tho i wish she hadn't been used for the usual ''woman falls in love with the main hero who already likes another gal, so she must settle for friendship only'' trope considering there are already so little women in the mcu. but she was an awesome part of the thor films - and then in rganarök just never mentioned again?? the warriors three got killed on screen (which is one of the very few things i don't like abt ragnarök), but sif? was never mentioned again??? i like that we saw her in loki again, even if it was just a memory loop! and heard smth abt her returning in thor4 which i hope is true cause she's too awesome to just be forgotten. (also, jane, brunnhilde and sif in one film together??? hnnggh thor who??)

oh, also!!! dr. helen cho!!! WHY DID SHE NEVER APPEAR AGAIN??? there we have this awesome badass genius science woman, creating vision's body and generally being so cool - just to never appear again??? rude.

31. Which side character do you hope/had hoped would get more recognition?

karl mordo my beloved 🥺

he's such a fascinating character?? was stephen's best friend, believed in the ancient one, in the sorcerers and what they were doing, and then turned villain bc of the betrayal he felt from TAO. and the dr strange fandom barely every talks abt him??? i lovelovelove that wong gets all the recognition, cause beyoncé sure deserves it, but what abt mordo??? 🥺🥺

i really hope he'll appear in DS:MoM again and that he'll get more notice then...

Steve is on his morning run in DC when a ghost from his past comes back into his life. And he's not alone. *** “Steve?” Sam’s voice cut through the veil of the past, the crushing weight of memory that stole his breath. “What’s wrong, buddy?”

His staring must have finally alerted another parent, a woman eyeing him warily while tugging on Tony’s sleeve until he turned around. His eyes were just as expressive and wide as they were ten years ago, piercing the cold morning air straight to Steve’s own.

“Tony.”

“Wait. Tony Tony? The Tony? The Tony that Bucky busts your chops over Tony?”

His voice cracked, wrent into pieces at seeing his omega who wasn’t his anymore, body flaring in pain. Years worth of aching denial like a hot fireplace poker to his soul. “Yeah.”

For the filk challenge, wynnesome and I changed the lyrics to “If the World Was Ending” by JP Saxe feat. Julia Michaels. (OG song here, if you want to listen)

Wynnesome also did an amazing recording of the song! LISTEN HERE!

Lyrics:

[Verse 1: Steve] I was distracted, chasing bad guys I didn’t see it when the invasion happened But it really got me thinkin’, did you ever think of calling? I guess I don’t even know where you’ve been living It’s been a year now, think I’ve figured out how How to let you go, you let communication die out

[Pre-Chorus: Steve] I know, you know, we know, we were both failing each other ‘cross the board I know, you know, we know, we were both failing at striking an Accord

[Chorus: Steve] But if the world was ending, I could come home, right? You’d let me in and I could stay the night Could you love me after all of it? Make these years feel so irrelevant

If the world was ending, I could come home, right? The sky’d be falling and I’d hold you tight Cause together we could conquer this I’d find the strength to fight from just one kiss If the world was ending, I could come home, right? Right? When the world starts ending, I will come home, right? Right?

[Verse 2: Tony] I tried to imagine your reaction It didn’t scare me when those aliens landed But it really got me thinkin’, all those times I missed it Didn’t kiss you in the darkened compound kitchen Ah, it’s been a year now, think I’ve figured out how How to think about you without it smashing my heart out

[Pre-Chorus: Tony] I know, you know, we know, we were both too stubborn, sure that we were right I know you know, we both, know that he’s your friend but I thought so was I…

[Chorus: Tony] But if the world was ending, you’d come over, right? You’d come over and say, “Fuck this fight” Would you choose me over all of it? Would we find a way that we could fit?

If the world was ending, you’d come over, right? No more words, I could just hold you tight You could come back in and you’d be home And we would never have to be alone

When the world starts ending, you’ll come over, right? You’ll come over, right? You’ll come over, you’ll come over, you’ll come over, right?

[Pre-Chorus: Steve and Tony] I know, you know, we know we were Waiting for each other and it’s fine I know, you know, we know we weren’t There for each other and it’s fine

[Chorus: Steve and Tony] But if the world was ending, you’d come over, right? You’d come over and you’d stay the night Would you hold this broken heart for me? Would you see how good that we could be?

If the world was ending, you’d be (I’d be) at my (your) door So we could give this thing a try once more Be united like we should have been and we could sign our vows with matching pens

If the world was ending, I’d forgive it all Set our pride aside and we would never fall standing together we would save the earth Or else Avenge it with all that we’re worth

For Steve Tony Games, year two of the National Titillator (see the OG NTs here)
