   Summary

   Tony Stark would always chase for approval and it would always come back to bite him in the ass. Leave it to him to have a soulmate with internalized homophobia.
   The death timer on his wrist says he has two years left to live. Steve Rogers gets a second chance. Tony Stark gets a countdown.

   Or: Soulmate timers can turn into death timers upon rejection. But you have to be truly unlovable for the rare phenomenon to happen.
