Happy holidays and happy Valentine's day!


From left to right and top to bottom on Steve's sketch pad: Ults, good ol' Shellhead, what was supposed to be Bleeding Edge Tony with his helmet removed but ended up looking like MCU Tony, 616 , Avengers Assemble, 616, 616 (okay I like 616 Tony a lot), 1872, EMH, MCU.

This is my attempt at a soulmate/reincarnation AU where all the universes are their previous life!

How I imagine this working is each universe ending and then another one starting. In this one Steve has been dreaming of all the past lives and trying to draw Tony but failing to grasp his facial features. Much to his surprise, one day coming back from art school he just happens to encounter --a very sad-- Tony who's taking the long route home after losing his parents.

While this is set in modern day and pre-serum/pre Iron Man, I do envision them both becoming their alter egos, as the universe would have it. Steve just has to make sure Ty doesn't get his hands on sad Tony this time. Go Steve!

I originally gave Tony his moustache, but it made him look too old. Anyway, I like the idea of him growing his facial hair to cover his baby face as he takes over Stark Industries.

The quote comes from Beyond the Time - Beyond the Möbius Universe which is a Gundam song that surprisingly fits Stony very well. Here's is the English translation if you're curious:

I hope this helps soothe the craving a little!
