   Summary

   Thanos never came. The Avengers still fell apart.

   Tony Stark survives Ross’s suicide missions, raises a daughter in the woods, and convinces himself he’s at peace—until Steve Rogers saves his life, rescues his child, and re-enters his orbit like a fault line reopening.

   This is a story about being late, choosing family, loving someone you never stopped loving, and building a home anyway.
