omg re your angsty fic idea

DOES TONY COME BACK WRONG? or does tony come back right and steve is the one who's all wrong?? i'm kicking the ceiling

i think tony comes back wrong but in the sense that he was finally able to rest, only to have that ripped away from him as he's transported back to the land of the living. i think steve tries to move on and even makes some progress (*cough* suppression *cough*) but as soon as he sees tony again, alive and literally gift-wrapped by the infinity stones, all of those emotions come rushing back.

#the fic idea is heavily inspired by season 6 of buffy but tweaked to suit my needs #like steve doesn't actively try to bring tony back #but i feel like he would still blame himself anyway #and a part of him can't help but be euphoric that tony is back for good. that he gets to keep him. yeah #i think it'd be delicious if the stones made it no secret that they brought tony back specifically for steve too #all the cosmic power in the universe to grant any wish or want of steve's and it's literally just...tony #tony alive and well 💖 #they don't even ask steve. tony's just at the forefront of his mind #i also toyed with the idea of bringing nat back too because she didn't deserve to go out like that #gabi talks #mutuals #meidui #stony #steve rogers #tony stark #marvel
