god I love all of this so much - I read this last chapter when it was first posted, before I saw endgame, and once more just now, after I've seen endgame and hhhhhh yeah that's exactly what I needed THANK YOU for this
I really enjoy your take on the whole soulmate thing here, how Tony would even consider someone like Thanos as being his soulmate (for one it's really heartbreaking how he feels like that might be what he deserves), and I just really like that a romantic relationship isn't a given even by virtue of being soulmates, that he considers it might not work out or might be a different kind of relationship entirely. And the bit when Nebula asks Tony if he even knows if they're still alive - ow, oof, that got me. Loved that chapter in particular.
And all the other chapters going through the characters Tony thinks might be his soulmate are so good, but I especially liked the Thanos and Nebula chapters, because I was like but Tony!!! You've already met him!!!! Though of course at that point he wouldn't have thought to consider Stephen, it's so heartbreaking to think that all that happened, and Stephen even died in the snap, but they didn't /know/ at that point..... I LOVE the way they gravitate back to each other in this chapter though, and I'm so glad Tony considers the Time Stone thing, how he's ok with it not being Stephen but then hopeful that it is and then how it all sorta falls together at the end. It's so soft and the character interactions feel so natural, I love your writing so much! The last five paragraphs or so are so beautiful, it legit had me tearing up both times I read it. And how Tony only at the end realises Stephen's been the one waiting so long, aaaaah I love that so much.
Just!!! It's all so good!!! my heart feels healed, thank you so much for writing and sharing!!<333
