    Summary

    Sometimes the truth is like a second chance.

     

    The ashes of the Triskelion have barely cooled when Steve arrives unbidden at Stark Tower. He doesn’t quite know what he’s looking for, so it’s a good thing someone seems to; Sharon thinks she should be getting hazard pay (she should); Phil is beginning to understand why Fury was perfectly happy to stay publicly dead; Natasha and Sam in no way signed up to be relationship counsellors and want their money back; Bucky is waiting for the other shoe to drop like an anvil on his head; and bureaucracy is as impossibly, torturously stupid as it always is. Honestly, the fine print in superhero contracts needs a lot of revision.

    Or: the one in which we accidentally wrote half of (and preemptively fixed) Captain America: Civil War before D23, except gayer.

     

    Note: For anyone who prefers waiting for WIPs to finish before reading, all substantive plot has concluded with chapter 5! 6 is essentially a (long) epilogue of pure fluff to recover from the previous 150,000 words; no major plot developments occur.

    Summary

    “Does… I mean, which one of them has a motorbike?” Steve couldn’t help himself- he was ridiculously curious, and he just wanted to know as much as he could about the boy with the blue eyes and dark hair as possible. “Pretty expensive looking- leather seats, and really blue eyes- the boy, not the bike, obviously. He was- uh, he was smoking, too.”

    There was a silence. Sam was making an amused face at Steve. “Tony Stark?”

    Summary

    Falling in Love with Tony Stark was one of the most dangerous things Steve Rogers has ever experienced.

    Or so he thought.

    When a Celestial God known only as the Calamity appears, and people begin falling into mysterious comas, dangerous becomes an understatmemt.

    It's up to the Avengers to find a way to stop her from harvesting all the souls on Earth. If they don't, the entire universe is doomed. Having several deadly, explosive and electrifying missions tossed into the mix only served to threaten to tear the entire team apart.
    If that wasn't bad enough, and Steve and Tony's relationship could not get any worse, Calamity throws Captain America back in time to 1955 where, apparently, he's happily married to Peggy.

    Will Steve find a way back to Tony and the others?
    Will he want to?

    On the other side, Tony must learn to set aside his ego and anger in order to solve Calamity's puzzle. But will his own guilt and regret over hidding his true feelings for Steve consume him before it's all too late?

    Summary

    Everything about them happened in seconds. Their first meeting was quick, with Tony landing next to the Captain, each man giving a curt nod and name in greeting. Their argument on the hellicarrier took mere seconds to escalate. Until Steve was goading Tony into putting on the suit and going a few rounds and Tony not so subtly reminding Steve that he wasn’t afraid to hit an old man.
    It was only seconds of staring at Tony on that New York City Street, his arc reactor dark, no rise and fall of his chest, for Steve to know that inside the tin can, was a good man.
    Then Ultron happened, and it took seconds for their world to change, seconds for Steve to throw his shield at Tony and for the billionaire to send a repulsor blast back. They went from laughing and relaxing to standing on an edge thousands of feet above solid ground.
    And now…now everything’s changed. And all it took was a combination of seconds; of decisions made, actions performed and words spoken that they couldn’t get back.
    Just a few ticks of the clock for their world to shatter.

    It’ll take more than that to make things right.

    Summary

    Post Captain America Civil War fix-it: For the first time in their entire acquaintance, Tony and Steve start having really honest conversations with each other via text message, of course.

    Or Tony and Steve try to repair their relationship before the next apocalypse. This may take a while. Actually, battling blue and/or purple aliens would be preferable to working through their feelings.

    Now with a trailer to the sequel Infinite Messaging to the Endgame.
