    Summary

    Every moment of joy feels too perfect, and Tony wonders how long it can last.

    The warmth of Steve's touch, the gentle flutter of their unborn son growing inside him, the sound of Steve's laughter echoing in their home — it all feels too good to be true.

    There's always a nagging voice in the back of his mind, a whisper he can’t quite silence.

    He doesn't deserve this. Not really. He’s the merchant of death, the one responsible for countless lives lost, a man who built his empire on weapons and destruction. How could someone like him deserve the love and peace that’s now surrounding him?

    He doesn’t know how to reconcile the man he was with the family he’s creating, and somewhere deep down, he fears it will all be taken away, that the universe will remind him of the price he's paid for happiness.
