Tony: "Must. Save. Steve"

[johanirae.livejournal.com]

Hiya folks!

Was wondering about something the other day (for a fic I'm making abd because wondering makes me stop thinking about the, ya know, Civil War)...

I read in a couple of fics and stuff saying Tony often sacrifices himself to save Steve. The one comic canon incident I remember is when



electrocuted himself to stop his armour from crushing Cap.


It's really one of the most defining characteristics I can think of Tony, that he both thinks so high of Steve and so little of himself that the idea of sacrificing himself for Steve is no big deal.

Was wondering if there was any other such times for Tony? And any thoughts? :-)

Yep, pretty much.

Here's a scan (http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j144/crimsonquills/slashymoments/CaptainAmerica437-FightingChanceEpi.jpg) (you can find it on the slashy list that Crim's talked about too... cuz come on! Tony saving Steve! How could that NOT make it on the list.)

Man, I seriously got to re-review that list O_O Slash indeed, right down to the holding Steve in that Harlequin cover method (Or maybe that's just my slash mind talking XD)

they like the romance cover holding poses. The new "What If" (Iron Man died, not Cap) is ALL romance. The Gone With The Wind scene was Steve saving Tony, but still. I mean, really, so very married~
