    Summary

    Coincidentally, the physical effects of romantic and sexual desire match up very closely with the physical effects of fear. But it's not a problem-- it's not like anyone is going to be able to hear the way your heart speeds up, or see the minute dilation of your pupils, are they? They'd have to be some sort of Superhuman to do that.

    And what's worse than a Superhuman hearing that quick pulse and seeing those dilated eyes and concluding that you're in love with them?

    A Superhuman hearing that quick pulse and seeing those dilated eyes and thinking you're terrified of them.

    Summary

    “We have five days of this ahead of us, Cap. Call me crazy, but I think if we don’t spend the entire time fighting over every little thing, we might have a chance of actually pulling this off.”

    -

    Tony tells a joke, that turns into a lie, that turns into him having to pretend to Steve Rogers' husband for five days. Just his luck.

    Summary

    One night turns into two, turns into a week, turns into four. Pepper appreciates the company, Steve thinks. Their nightly chats about the mundanity of life have become a ritual. Art installations, the weather, Morgan’s projects and antics. Sometimes, their voices will drop, become quieter. Steve will mention Peggy and Pepper will smile. She never speaks Tony’s name but he’s there, a third presence in their every conversation.
     

    The message Tony left him still remains unseen in the form of the Iron Man helmet on Steve's oak bedside table. Today, Steve promises himself. Today will be the day he watches it.
     

    He fails his promise every time.

     

     
    Alternatively: Steve goes and has his family with Peggy and then finds a new one, eighty years later.
