Summary
Steve may not know exactly who he is anymore, but he knows who he’s not. He’s not skinny Steve Rogers from Brooklyn. He’s not Captain America. He’s not an Avenger. He’s not Tony’s friend.
He’s also not a monster.
So why can’t he stop dreaming of that night in Siberia, and Tony in broken armor gasping on the ground beneath him?
(aka, that time the author tried to write CACW-compliant Stony porn and ended up writing an explicit character study instead. The first in a series.)

Summary
Tony isn't pining. He can’t afford to--doesn't have space for it in his head. It's hard enough just to do his job while wading through the murky waters of post-Accords international politics, and Steve Rogers? He’s a liability, in more ways than one. That's why Tony laid down the law at the end of their last, ill-conceived encounter.
“Take care of yourself, Cap. Stay the fuck out of my life.”
If only Steve weren’t so lousy at following orders...
(aka the one where Steve and Tony have a conversation, and then another conversation, and then bang things out in a hotel. There's a lot more nuance, world building, character detail, emotional turmoil, etc. but, like. In a nutshell. part of a series)
