Fic Summary:
Tony remembers this: the beginning, when he swam through oceans deep and unsullied and Steve walked the new earth, his steps shaking the foundations.
Tony remembers this: a boy with wings flying too high, and crashing down while he watched, helpless to do anything but hide him from the gods.
Tony remembers this: a snow frosted lake and the Changeling who walked through court and watched him with bright wanting eyes.
Tony remembers this: the high seas and bloody tides and a pirate’s smile, watching him from the ship’s deck.
Tony remembers this: a war that shook the world, and a boy who should never have been there and diving, diving ,diving, too far.
Steve remembers--nothing. But his shoulders itch like wings should fill them and the world feels too small for everything he believes, and there’s a man with a shark sharp smile and predatory eyes and Steve wants to lose himself in them.
Over the eons--they were monsters and myth and men, but more than anything--they have loved each other.

Five times Tony tried to save Steve. And one time Steve saves Tony. With a monstrous and reincarnated twist.
