Author: nostalgicatsea
Universe: MCU
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Word Count: 266
Summary: Contrition alone could neither save nor damn him. Only the wronged held that power. But Tony was gone, unable to answer him, and Steve wondered who else could grant him the reprieve that came through absolution or castigation.
Note: This is more implied Steve/Tony and is heavily focused on Pepper & Steve and Steve & Morgan, but since Tony haunts the entire fic and drives Steve through it, I decided to include the Steve/Tony tag.
Read on AO3 or Dreamwidth.
