My absolute go to fic for crying, starts off with this trope. The story,As Sharp As Any Thorn (http://archiveofourown.org/works/725234) by RurouniHime (http://archiveofourown.org/users/RurouniHime/pseuds/RurouniHime), involves the enemy controlling Tony's suit while he's in it to try and destroy the Avengers and Tony. Both Tony and Steve are doing their best in an impossible situation to save each other while the enemy is determined to kill them. The majority of the story deals with the aftermath of this event. There is tons of Tony guilt and angst to drown in. I'm always a sodden mess by the time I get to the end.

Even the Light is an Illusion (http://archiveofourown.org/works/507292/chapters/892809) by Mizzy (http://archiveofourown.org/users/Mizzy/pseuds/Mizzy) is a longer fic. As a result, I reread specific scenes in the story to get my fix. Basically the scenes with emotional wrought confrontations between Tony and Steve, the resolution and well the fluffy domestic stuff. I can't say too much about it without totally ruining the plot, so I'll have to leave it at that.

There is a little fan comic by sakubow (http://sakubow.tumblr.com/) that also makes me teary eyed everytime I see it. You can find it here (http://sakubow.tumblr.com/post/26274191985) on tumblr. It deals with how lost Tony is without Steve.

Here is another piece of art called Red Thread (http://hadrianus-dark-1.deviantart.com/art/Red-Thread-349063889) by Hadrianus-dark-1 (http://hadrianus-dark-1.deviantart.com/). The thing about this piece is sometiems when I look at it, it seems really angsty and then other times I think it is hopeful.

I'm going to leave you with a final bit of Tony Angst, Rolling Hero by 1000300103 (http://1000300103.tumblr.com/). The version I'm linking to on tumblr (http://rose-on-the-mountain.tumblr.com/post/62407760871/1000300103-the-original-source-is-pv-of-rolling) has some short but wonderfully insightful thoughts by rose-on-the-mountain (http://rose-on-the-mountain.tumblr.com/) or you can watch it straight from youtube.
