It's clear that Steve rapes Tony. But this is Tony. And Steve. Who are frickin' idiots whose issues have issues. The built up sexual tension, the past, the anger, the betrayal, their crazy lives -- all work to create a sense of murky and layered emotions during the rape.

I love that Steve's snapped but he's still Steve. He killed the bad guys. The shield in Bucky's hands -- I took that as America is safe. He still did his job. Now he's going to disappear.

I wish you would continue; if only because I want to see just how dysfunctional their situation becomes. It screams Master/Slave. It could get *wicked* dark and perverse. I don't know if you want to go there -- but if you do, I will definitely read it.
