Fic - The Breaths We Take (Parts I and II)

Hey guys, I'm back with another long one-shot! :) This one's shorter than the 13k word thing though, so that's good news.

This was meant to be a prequel to my other super long one-shot (Mouth/Eyes), and it still is in a way, but it's also a sort of retelling of the Avengers history, as told through the Steve/Tony relationship, although this got wildly away from cannon and became something totally different, although most major cannon is still there. It starts from the beginning - Tony's origin - and progresses a year each section, ending with Civil War (slightly after it). I went with the 4 real years = 1 Marvel year thing, which makes both Steve and Tony on the young side when this starts (around 23 and 25).

Title: The Breaths We Take
Pairings/Characters: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark, Carol Danvers, Jan van Dyne, Hank Pym, Clint Barton.
Rating: R
Fandom: The Avengers. (Very fucked up cannon/vaguely fudged timeline. See Part I intro for more on that.)
Warnings: Surprise, surprise, angst! Lots of it! And some super depressing bits, and some off-panel sex. Also, the big bad: character death (Civil War does occur in this fic the way it does in the comics).
Word Count: ~ 9,600
Disclaimer: No own, no profit. 'Tis all good.

Part I : “Score. I’ll be back… same bat-time, same bat-channel, right after my bat-shower!”

Part II : “Do tell how you seduced Captain freakin’ America. I’m rather interested.”.
