Rec Week 2018: Angsty Wednesday

[cap_ironman_mod]

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 both the happy and unhappy ending have to be earned - 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!

And For You... (Can't Let You Destroy) by navaan (616, Major Character Death)
Summary: He's an AI now - not human. And Steve has betrayed them all. How is an Artificial Intelligence to cope when it still feels the betrayal.
Comment: I just want to say this fic is Not Okay and Navaan broke me and she's still not forgiven for it. By which I mean, GO READ IT. Bonus rec for hellogarbagetime's rec art for the fic which spoils it, but HOLY SHIT MY HEART.

Signals Between Two Satellites by nostalgicatsea (MCU)
Summary: He hadn't allowed himself to dream of this, of Tony returning to him. Not when he had lost so much. Not when dreaming of the impossible would destroy him.

But Tony was here, and for the first time since Thanos had wiped out half of the universe, Steve felt hope.
Comment: nostalgicatsea's prose is beautiful. This has all the pain of a post-IW scenario, but it's hopeful, too.

Give Up The Ghost by foldingcranes (616, Major Character Death)
Summary: Director Stark gets a late night visit.
Comment: The best kind of Director Stark angst that I can never get enough of! SO CREEPY, SO GOOD.

Art by 000momo000 (MCU)
Comment: This is beautiful and heartbreaking and just ARGH!!!

Art by nohaijiachi (616, Major Character Death)
Comment: Just click on it and cry as I've been doing for the past three years, since it was first posted.

Art by skyeedom (616)
Comment: So I love this piece for shallow reasons (TONY IN HIS UNDERSUIT) but also because it's deceptively fluffy . . . until you realise this is Hydra Cap. Uh huh. Take care, Tony.
