2019 Rec Week: Angsty Wednesday!

[cap_ironman_mod]

We all love Steve and Tony, in happiness and health, and in sadness and pain… and the latter is the focus of this day's theme! The superhero life is full of tragedy and uncertainty, and sometimes Steve and Tony don't have the best of times as they face adversity. Sometimes we revel in that unhappiness and the feelings it evokes in us - love isn't all sunshine and daisies, after all. So today is the day to rec all your favorite angsty fanworks: we welcome recs for fics, artwork, podfics, vids, manips, edits and more!

Note: Please mark major warnings for your recs, and if you have time, let us know why you’re reccing a work.

Monochrome by dirigibleplumbing (MCU)
Summary: A fancomic about Steve, after the events of Captain America: Civil War, missing Tony and thinking about him.
Comment: Simply beautiful art with a fantastic colour concept. Steve is so sad here, thinking of Tony, who appears in radiant colours in his memory.

Aftermath (616, 903 words) by runningondreams
Summary: It’s not the first time Tony’s made Steve a new uniform, but he usually does it with Steve at his side.
Comment: Lovely and bittersweet glimpse at post-616!CW Tony.

the face and the mask are mirrors, baby (the genderqueer remix) (616, 16086 words) by runningondreams
Summary: When Tony’s young, he thinks maybe he’s built wrong. He thinks: Maybe one day, if he gets good enough, he’ll be able to redesign Tony Stark. Cast himself in a new mold. One day, he’ll be better.
Comment: A 616 remix of Isozyme’s "The Girl with the Modern Face". This broke my heart, especially with the descriptions of Tony's childhood.
