Hi hi! Thank you so much for joining our stocking event - I really hope you'll continue to join us in the server and talk comics Tony/Steve/Tony (and on an off-topic note, video games!)

I wrote a short ficlet for you - it takes place during v4 but makes callbacks to Red Zone.

Tony swims into consciousness, and his assurance he’s awake is immediately called into question. Although, if his subconscious wants to give him dreams of Steve Rogers cradling him in his lap, it’d make sleep that much harder to resist.

“You’re awake?” Steve doesn’t move away as he looms over Tony. Tony, to his credit, doesn’t move either. Steve’s in his Commander uniform, sweat making his hair stick to his head. Tony’s in his armor, sans helmet. Tony recalls being on-call for Luke’s Avengers, joining them on a mission to dig out an AIM cell. But now he’s on a quinjet with Steve. The moment lingers, like they’re holding a bubble between them, waiting for it to pop. Tony’s not going to pop it, and he suspects that Steve is refusing to, probably on principle.

Tony can barely reconcile the Steve who had screamed in his face not too long ago and the Steve above him now, brows furrowed with worry rather than fury. Tony’s voice is scratchy when he speaks. “What happened?”

“You took a bad hit, and stayed down.” Tony…doesn’t remember that prat, and his confusion must show, because Steve’s eyes flash. “One that shouldn’t have kept you down. Stephen said it might be residual effects from you wielding the Infinity Gauntlet.”

Now that Steve has the idea in his head, he’s never letting it go. “I’ve taken many bad hits. It happens,” Tony insisted. “But you’ve never let me put your head in your lap. Taking new steps in our relationship, aren’t we?”

Steve frowns down at him. “I’ve…done this before,” Steve said. “Remember? When we were in Oklahoma, and you saved me when I had passed out from the poison gas.”

Damn. Not that Tony would regret saving Steve’s life, but now he’d have to live with the fact that his untimely unconsciousness had lost him the memory of something that went beyond his wildest dreams “I missed that?”

The corner of Steve’s mouth lifts. “Admittedly, you were unconscious.” Then, like cold water douses their moment, Steve looks away. “Just something else you can’t remember.”

Tony doesn’t know how to talk about those demons he can’t face with Steve. He can’t apologize for something he doesn’t remember. So, he deflects. “So, you’re here to recreate the memory with me?”
To his surprise, Steve considers the question. “I was waiting for you to wake up back then, too. Except this time, you finally did.”

Tony swallows nervously in the face of Steve’s worry he’s wearing on his sleeve. “Glad I could finally live up to expectations for once. Although, now I’m learning I have to get knocked unconscious to wake up to a Steve Rogers lap pillow…”

Steve scowls, and Tony’s not sure if it’s because of the flippancy or the flirting. “On second thought, scratch that. I don’t think I want to. I’m a futurist. I’m more interested in making new memories.” It’s the bravery and stupidity of waking up from a head injury, so Tony takes his shot, and winks.

Tony resists the urge to punch the air as Steve huffs, his expression softening as he reaches down and strokes Tony’s hair.

Thank you so much for the gift! It's wonderful.

I'll definitely continue to participate in the server and events. It takes me a while to get over my social anxiety, but I'll get there eventually!
