Summary: The year is 1963, and Colonel Steve Rogers has been the Iron Man since 1940. His recent brush with death in a fight against the Hulk has left him scarred, broken, and -- unwillingly -- in retirement. He'll never wear the armor again. Tony Stark, the new owner of Stark Industries, is young, brilliant, ambitious, and he has a few ideas of his own about the next Iron Man. But when Tony shows up at Steve's door one evening, the conversation quickly turns to matters other than business. Tony is smart, gorgeous, half Steve's age, and he's definitely not offering what Steve and his lonely fantasies wish he were offering. And even if he were, Steve should definitely not take him up on it.

Notes: Bullet Points (Earth-70105) is a miniseries in which Rebirth never happens and Steve becomes Iron Man in World War II. This is actually a canon-divergent AU of Bullet Points. This is also a fill for my bingo square, "what would Captain America do?" (because I feel like Steve still counts). Thanks to magicasen and gwyn_r for beta!
