Last Words of WIP Meme

Tagged by @ishipallthings who destroyed me with her response to this meme. The actual last words I wrote are incomprehensible unless you have the whole picture, so here’s the last thing I wrote for another WIP only a few days before (my post-Endgame soulmate AU that I need to actually sit down and finish one day):

“What?” he asked Tony.

“You’ve aged. And I missed it. Last time I saw you, you were so young.” Tony smiled at him in a way Steve couldn’t decipher, neither fully happy nor sad. “I still see you like that.”

And a bonus line for fun that’s cryptic due to lack of context:

“And you think you know what’s best for me, don’t you?” Tony said contemptuously.

Tagging: @oluka​, @sineala​, @kiyaar​, and anyone who wants to do this!

#stevetony #steve/tony #superhusbands #stony #my words #there's a grief that comes from losing the privilege of seeing the person you love grow old #because it IS a privilege to witness those changes and to survive especially when you're in their line of work #where tomorrow isn't guaranteed as they both know all too well #CW-era steve is seared into tony's brain for more reasons than one (the fallout but it was also the last time he saw steve before the start #of EG and at that point tony was half-dead and probably not up for examining how steve looked lmao #though steve still looked young since that was 2018) #he was SO YOUNG compared to time skip steve #if you look at CW steve pics #and okay some context for the bonus line: let's just say past actions have reverberations #even after reconciliation even in circumstances that are vastly different #(the reason tony's saying that line has nothing to do with what happened in CW) #they never talked about CW beyond a few lines and it drives me nuts
