Fic Summary: “Don't touch that,” he forces out, his throat as rough as gravel. “Don't.”

“Okay,” the person says, and doesn't try to pull out of Tony's grasp. “Okay, I won't.”

Tony sucks in a sharp breath and opens his eyes. “You're American. The terrorists got you, too?”

The man he's holding on to is young, very young. He's slender and frail looking with a pale, wan face, and Tony would know him anywhere.

“Terrorists?” Steve Rogers asks, with confusion.

“Oh shit, I really am dead, and there's an afterlife, and it sucks,” Tony moans.

A/N: This story owes a lot to the people who steered me straight and helped me avoid making dreadful unintentional errors regarding race and culture. Firstly, to musesfool, who pointed me at the wiki page for Battlestar, which allowed me to write my way out of the same problem Marvel ran into in the eighties, rather than having to scrap the whole story or, heaven forbid, posting it as it had been, unknowingly. Secondly, to whizzy and sandt250, who gently corrected and educated me on why some of my questions were culturally inappropriate. And lastly, to Foxy, beta extraordinaire, who read over the whole story and helped me tidy up the rest.

Title: Your Lips and Mine (sharp as knives, sweet as summer berries)
Author: [livejournal.com profile] iamshadow
Fandom: The Avengers, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Hawkeye (Fraction)
Pairings: Gen, Steve/Tony, Bruce/Tony
Rating: R
Word Count: 8,031
Summary: In which Tony Stark kisses and is kissed, makes poor choices and good apologies, and ends up with a family of friends despite himself.
Content: Kissing, friendship, road trip, team bonding, humour, hurt/comfort, Christmas, drug use, stoned sex, friends with benefits, stuck together (magic), Bruce's issues, Tony's issues, trolling.
A/N: Post-Avengers, fused with elements of Fraction's Hawkeye, most heavily 006 (Six Nights in the Life of Hawkeye). Not IM3, Thor 2 or Winter Soldier compliant, because reasons. Mainly because it was easier not to.
This story started out because I looked at my Trope Bingo Rounds One and Two cards and saw a large amount of kissing oriented squares, so I thought I'd write them all if I could. I managed to hit a bunch of others along the way, but whether I've subverted them enough is a matter of opinion, I suspect.
For the full list of squares this story covers, please look at the endnotes or the tags, since I didn't want to spoil everything here at the beginning.
