    Summary

    Iron Man paused. “Oh my god. You thought I was a robot.”

    “No, I—” Steve felt his face flushing. “I…considered the possibility,” he admitted.

    “You thought I was a robot who’s been hitting on you.”

    “Is that really so crazy?” Steve felt an inexplicable need to defend himself. “In the forties, I fought a Nazi with a skull for a head.”

    Summary

    Arthur Lester finally has everything he once fought for: his daughter, a home in Arkham, and a physical life for John beyond the confines of his own mind.

    But the silence left in John's wake is far from peaceful. In the cold, quiet corners of Arthur’s head, a familiar, barefoot shadow has begun to take up residence.

    Dragged into a series of surreal, escalating games within a shifting nightmare domain, Arthur finds himself trapped in a predatory dance with Kayne. As the boundaries between the void and the waking world begin to bleed, Arthur finds that the more he fights to stay anchored to his reality, the more he is drawn back into the waiting arms of the one who claims to own his soul.

    Summary

    After the Battle of New York, Tony and Steve find something steady in the chaos: quiet mornings, shared meals, and a relationship neither expected to last but somehow does. Then Peggy Carter falls out of time and straight into their present, and everything Tony thought was solid starts to crack. Misunderstandings, time travel, and one disastrous press conference later, Tony has to decide if love can survive the weight of history...and his own doubt.

    Summary

    “I don’t know you, not really,” not-Tony says, “But… I can’t shake the feeling that I’m going to miss you.” He gives Steve a half-smile, like he doesn’t know that he’s stepping on the last little bits of Steve’s heart.

    ‘He doesn’t know,’ Steve has to remind himself. How could he? Steve bashed his head in.

    Steve bashed his head in and now Tony has to live as this half-dead thing, unwanted and uncared for and so broken that he’ll tell the man who killed him that he did the right thing.
