Title Headlock
Rating PG-13 for mild talk of suicide and mild swearing.
Fandom Marvel
Pairing? Hints of Steve/Tony, but nothing happens
Word Count 1834
Genre Fluffy angst?
Disclaimer I own none of these characters
Summery Tony's down after a mission gone bad. Steve is set with the task of watching him/cheering him up.
Author's Note OMGSONGFIC Inspired by Headlock by Imogen Heap (ignore crazy video XD), more specifically these lines:

Been walking, you've been hiding,
And you look half dead half the time.
Monitoring you, like machines do,
You've still got it, I'm just keeping an eye

Also, I have a great love for winter clothes. I don't know why ._.

( Today was Steve's turn. )

Title Behind Every Great Man...
Rating PG-13
Fandom Marvel
Pairing? Hints of Steve/Tony, but nothing happens
Word Count 1459
Genre A little angst, domestic fluff
Disclaimer I own none of these characters
Summary Tony and Steve have a chat late at night
Author's Note This is for seanchai :D
Also, I actually have no idea in what context Tony learns the truth behind his parents' deaths (or if he learns at all). I simply read it in the bio they had in the back of the Director of SHIELD TBP, but haven't come across in my backlog of readings yet. So, uh, yeah.

( He had learned years ago that Tony had a troubling habit of going without sleep for several days on end. )
