Summary
‘You will find someone, Tony.’ Maria Stark whispered, playing with Tony’s hair as he leaned into her. ‘Don’t let anyone, especially your father, convince you otherwise. You will find someone who will choose you above all else, no matter the consequences.’
‘How do you know?’ Tony mumbled, looking down at his bruised arms and bloody knuckles.
Maria had just smiled and kissed the top of his head. ‘I just do.’
He had thought it would be enough with Pepper. He had been blindsided when Steve strutted into the room and insulted him, then had the audacity to become his husband over the years following. He had thought that person Maria had spoken of was Steve, when his eyes lit up when he saw Tony, when he smiled whenever he was mentioned, when he gave him his dog tags, when he proposed, when he had hesitantly laid out the adoption papers for one little boy in Queens. He had thought wrong.
Title from Richard Siken's poem "Litany in Which Certain Things Are Crossed Out"
