Rating:  nc-17

Word Count:  about 7.5k this chapter.
Warnings:  Infidelity, depression, graphic depictions of sex and, later, gore/violence.
Summary:  In which Steve is trying to find a place for himself in the twenty-first century, Tony is appallingly unfaithful to Pepper, and Loki returns to earth, joins the Avengers, and does not quite seek redemption or absolution.  Part three of the Stone series.
Notes:  I had some weird feels with this chapter, but overall I'm satisfied.  If you enjoy Clint and baby goats, you'll... find those within?

( It's not 'til he feels his nails digging into his palms that Steve realizes he's clenching his fists. "Get outta here, Tony," he bites out. He's done with this shit. )
