Rec Week 2017: Angsty Wednesday

We all love Steve and Tony, but sometimes they're just not very good at being happy, are they? (And sometimes we don't want them to be happy anyway.) There is just so much drama and uncertainty - and let's be honest we like the sad and dark feelings that evokes in us. So, today is the day to rec all you favorite angsty fanworks!
Note: Please mark major warnings for your recs, and if you have time, let us know why you’re reccing it!
Rec Week 2017 Themes and Schedule
Cap-IM Sunday, July 16th: Rec all your favorite works created for one of the Cap-IM challenges
All-New Monday, July 17th: Works newly posted during the last year
Artful Tuesday, July 18th: A rec day highlighting Fanart specifically! Come and rec all the art.

This year we have three ways to share recs:
1) comment on the day’s Dreamwidth or Livejournal post
2) Reply to the day’s tumblr post
3) Post to tumblr with the tags #capimrecweek
4) Tweet links to your rec posts @cap_ironman using the hashtag #capimrecweek
Have fun! And remember that you can go back and add more recs to the previous days if you missed out or thought of something new, even after a new day has rolled over. While we especially encourage works produced in the last year, old favourites are welcome as well on all of the other days!
Reccing for all days will remain open for a while until we will compile a round-up of all the fanworks that were recced at the beginning of August, so please feel free to come back and rec and point people at the posts/reblog the tumblr posts. Have fun!

Summary: A fic about a blowjob as an apology for what Steve doesn't remember, inspired by the most recent issue of New Avengers #3, Avengers #1, and Hickman's comment. Spoilers for New Avengers #3 and recent Avengers issues; mildly dubious consent in that one character doesn't have the context the other does for what's happening (not that I think it would make much more sense to him then).
You Started by a_sparrows_fall (Marvel 616)
Summary: Steve and Tony are working together on rolling out the Fifty State Initiative when tragedy strikes, but that’s not even the worst of it.
Mindwipe ficlet on Tumblr by laireshi (Marvel 616)
(No summary, just sadness.)
Things to do in New Jersey when you're dead by dorcas_gustine (Marvel 616)
Summary: Tony misses Steve. Tony brings Steve back. There's something wrong.
I’ll remember best of all, all the things we didn’t say by dorcas_gustine (Marvel 616)
Summary: Steve comes back and everything's gonna be alright. ...Right?
Some Other Beginning's End by missbecky (Marvel 616)
Summary: Tony feels sick to his stomach. It can't be true, it can't be. Because Steve is fine. He looks perfectly fine. He isn't sick or poisoned. He has the super soldier serum and he is Captain America and he can't die again, not when he's just come back.
Coping by nightwalker (Marvel Adventures)
Summary: Steve Rogers is very good at surviving, whether he likes it or not.

I sorta tried to list these from 'least angst' to 'most angst' (well, to me anyway). I might make an 'angst with happy ending' list too!
Also, please mind the warnings on the fics if you haven't read them already. The bottom half of the list all have unhappy endings.
