After typing that subject line, I feel like I should now be writing you a dystopian AU in which Steve is gone, Tony is alive and desperate and miserable and trying to save the world, and the pair of socks Steve knitted for him - all Tony has left of Steve - are falling to tatters on his feet.
Then again, for this to be a fic for you, Steve probably got... infected, zombie-fied, or whatever, and turned on Tony, and Tony had to incapacitate and lobotomize him with the knitting needle. So he's not really dead, he's just stashed somewhere alive but destroyed, and needs his brain fixed, a little. He feeds himself and sits blankly, knitting strings of half-raveled stitches.
It's probably called something like "The Darned and the Damned." "Darning Be Damned?" "Damned in the Darning?" "The Stockings Be Damned?"
Uhhhh ok, I'm tired and that's random. And farcical. But also tragic, perhaps? :D
Aaanyway. Thank you for another year of modding the server and contributing to making it the Fandom Home that it is. And for being a good friend, always offering support and commiseration. I wish there were less to have to commiserate about... but until that day. I long for the world bring you a better relationship with your body, and better than the doctors who seem to get at least as much wrong as right at every turn.
I love Panda, and please give her some of whatever pets and smooches she wants, from me.
Also I'm going to share with you a comics solicit for a series starting this week that I hope is half as good as it sounds:
I don't know what the feel and flavor of the comic will end up being, but I also realized that the premise itself seems like it could be a ready-made Steve-Tony fusion. Steve, for whatever reason, has been reduced to this "jumble of organs in a bio-suit," and of course Tony is the mechanic... "Queer monster love story" ensues... yes, PLEASE!
Also, I do have a Witcher fic rec, which has a happy ending, but only after many, many words of *brilliant* and agonizing horror. If you've read it, that's awesome. If you haven't, please have a very horrific and wonderful treat:
The Stuff of which Stockings are Made
