Marvel 616 Fic: Undo | Masterpost
Title: Undo
Beta: dorothy_notgale
Fandom: Marvel 616
Rating: R
Characters/pairings: Steve/Tony (established), Rhodey/Tony, Steve/Tony/Rhodey (sort of)
Warnings: mental issues, self-harm, mentions of torture, canon typical violence, (assumed) temporary character death
Summary: In an attempt to steal information from Tony Stark's brain, the villains of the week accidentally unlock the memories Tony lost after deleting his mind. Now he remembers everything, but it's all fresh and raw and without logical order. Worst of all, he remembers Steve dying, but has no recollection of him coming back. As a result, seeing Steve just makes everything worse, and the memories Tony has of their recent relationship make no sense and drive him crazy.
Consequently, Steve gets banned from seeing Tony until he gets better and it's Rhodey who gets to be there for his friend while Tony struggles not to fall apart. Steve, meanwhile, gets to deal with the media, who have just now learned of Captain America and Iron Man's romantic involvement. It is not something he excels at.
And then things get worse.
Word count: ~ 68,000
Note: This story was originally witten for the comics_bb, but just about everything went wrong with it. At first, I didn't get an artist, then I got two artists but after a few mails didn't hear back from them. Going through a bit of a slump myself and knowing that at least one of them was struggling with real life problems of her own, I never made the effort to write and see if they were still in, so I can't actually blame them for not delivering.
Having no reason to finish at a certain time and lacking the energy to re-read and edit the story, I needed no less than four months to actually do so.
The only person who did not fail in this project is my beta, dorothy_notgale, who did a wonderful - and quick - job catching my mistakes and suggesting changes that made more sense.
Note 2: Posted on dreamwidth and AO3 since the chapters are too long for livejournal.
