short summary after the cut:

after a tragic war accident where tony couldn't save his partner from falling to his death, he becomes iron man to make sure nobody he cares about will be unprotected ever again. he refuses to love someone else, and instead focuses all his time on the lucrative industry of clean energy and improving his suit of armor.

years later, while babysitting his niece, he gets a visit from a terrible ghost of the past; what follows is an addictive game of cat and mouse where the villain lacks the courage to finish the job, and the hero lacks the heart to turn him in.

when bucky unavoidably gets arrested, despite tony's efforts to help him out, tony realises the terrible truth he tried to suppress all this time: he doesn't want to live without the love-of-his-life-turned-nemesis because, even when fighting, bucky still makes him feel more alive than he's felt in years.

and since the motivation behind becoming iron man was to protect the ones he loves, he knows deep in his heart that none of it matters if he doesn't manage to keep the most important person in his life safe. so what if bucky hates him forever; he will still make it his life purpose to guard him. he cannot fail him a second time.

it's a damn good thing that prisons are not actually that hard to break into, and that all that money he's hoarded over the years is perfect for making two international fugitives disappear.

the fact i had more scenes but tumblr's limit is 30

the title is from this song which i highly recommend listening to
