Summary: While Steve and Sam try to track down Bucky and deal with the remnants of Hydra, Tony attempts to come to terms with his feelings about his parents, their killer, and his and Steve’s not-a-relationship relationship.
I had the joy and the immense pleasure to work with the wonderful and talented @dreaminglypeach for this year Capbb, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate her work and the feelings she put inside it. First time working on a Stony fanfic too, it was such an amazing experience!! Shower her with your love and enjoy the reading ~
Thanks to the mods for organizing everything once again for the @cabigbang~
Hey, anyone remember that wonderfully yellow cover from Astonishing X-Men: Xenogenesis #3? The one with Scott and Emma? Yeah, this is technically a parody. Well it started as one. Anyway.
“Oh. Hi. Hi, is anyone home? This is Scott Lang. We met a few years ago at the airport in Germany. I got really big. I had my mask on. You wouldn’t recognize me.”
“EDITH is this an old message?” Natasha asks breathlessly, watching as the man on the screen bangs on the front door once more.
“Ant-Man. Ant-Man. I know you know that.”
“It’s the front door of the compound Natasha, a live feed” EDITH replies calmly.
“I really need to talk to you guys,” Scott shouts, waving at the cameras, and Natasha can’t stop the wet laugh that bursts out, vision blurring with tears.
“Shall I wake James?” EDITH asks politely and Natasha grins, wiping under her eyes, something like hope igniting in her chest.
He looks up and Tony is leaning forward, elbows on his knees and hands between his legs, loose and relaxed, sweater sleeves pushed up so Steve can see his muscular forearms. They flex as Tony’s fingers twitch and he tears his eyes away reluctantly to meet his burnt sugar gaze.
Tony’s lips curl slowly and Steve feels it like those lips are on his skin, soft and warm and he shivers, swallowing hard.
“I’m glad you came,” Tony murmurs, voice low and honest and a little raw with emotion.
Hey friends, I am really having a rough time right now with physical health issues and am pretty much bed bound, so if you’ve got a minute maybe send me some asks? Links to different lists below!
Summer bleeds into fall and Tony watches the leaves turn, crisping as the air cools, the rolling mountains in the distance coppery in the sunlight.
When he stands on his back porch and looks out at the lake in the morning he imagines watching Steve see this view for the first time—eyes going wide at the light filtering through the forest, the gleam of the lake in the distance, the trees afire with color.
He does this more—thinks about Steve, wonders if he thinks about Tony too—or maybe his new boyfriend takes up all his thoughts.
The coffee in his mug abruptly tastes bitter and he scowls at it, flicking the lukewarm liquid out with a snap of his wrist that sends it sailing over the edge of the porch.
He has more important things to do than mull over what Steve Rogers and his boyfriend are getting up to.
