oh i am tired of the small, desperate, sad tony begging for steve to return
no no
give me tony stark who locks the damn phone away because he is determined to prove to steve, to prove to everybody, that for once, he can do this, that he will not fuck this up
give me tony stark devoting his time to make amends with the victims of avengers’ unfortunate world-saving adventures
give me tony stark building a state-of-the-art hospital in lagos
give me tony stark funding the UN mission to help the devastated communities around what used to be sokovia
give me tony stark helping peter parker pay his student loans and upgrading his shit ass computer
and then
give me steve rogers clutching that phone to his chest every time when he wakes up from nightmares
give me steve rogers typing in the number and never pressing call because he knows, he knows that he messed up, that he betrayed tony’s trust, convinced that he doesn’t deserve his forgiveness or howard’s shield
give me steve rogers asking natasha about tony whenever they meet
give me steve rogers staring at the news feed at 3am just in case something goes horribly wrong in new york
for once give me a guilt-ridden, ruined steve rogers and a tony stark with a purpose
YES, YES. THIS. Moreover:
Do not give me Tony Stark swallowing his pride and calling Steve first because he needs his help with a new world crisis.
Do not give me Sam and Clint and Scott and everyone else whispering “can we really trust Stark after what he did?” to Steve after the man magnanimously made a case on Tony’s behalf to at least hear him out.
Do not give me Tony Stark self-flagellating himself for the mistakes he made about the Accords while Steve just throws out a “you were just doing what you thought was right” like a meager bone instead of acknowledging that he screwed up just as much (and arguably more).
Do not give me a Tony Stark whose worth is only acknowledged after a grand gesture of atonement and/or he receives the approval of Steve Rogers.
instead…
Give me Steve Rogers having to call on Tony at the compound with the threat of Thanos looming.
Give me Steve Rogers, during the calm before the storm, asking why Tony never called.
Give me Tony Stark just blinking twice and shrugging “you said to call if I needed you.”
Give me Steve Rogers’ brow wrinkling in confusion until Tony’s eyes do a quick survey of the room.
Give me Steve Rogers glancing around and seeing it all: Rhodey’s wheelchair (seldom used but available all the same for when the man tires) tucked under the staircase. Peter’s Parker’s physics textbook, notebook, and an open bag of cheetos sitting on the coffee table. A watch box on a side table with a note that reads “Tony, This is less a birthday gift and more an unsubtle reminder to be on time to the next board meeting. Love, Pep.” A sleek television screen on the wall near the kitchen with a reminder for Vision scrolling across reminding the android to pick up his dry cleaning. A lab coat that looks suspiciously like Bruce Banner’s thrown across the back of a chair. A tin of cranberry orange muffins on top of the bar with a little Post-It that reads “Sorry I missed you! - May.”
Give me Steve Rogers realizing what all of this means.
Tony Stark didn’t need him.
ALL OF THIS^^^
GIVE ME IT.
And for a variant of this:
I’m sick of stories where the UN has to give up the Accord became oh noes it’s thanos. Give me a world where the Avengers can’t do this by themselves and need material and military help from the rest of the world. Have Steve have to compromise and actually negotiate so they can save the world together.
