[Marvel – Steve/Tony] tsukinofaerii – Per Expectations

Title: Per Expectations
Author: tsukinofaerii
Rating: NC-17 || Status: Complete
Summary: After the events of Without Irony, Tony wakes up with a freshly rebooted memory and nearly all of his memories from before the deletion and none after. Nearly all isn’t nearly enough, and what’s missing just might be the most important thing he’s ever forgotten. Tony’s not sure he wants to remember, but if he doesn’t it’s going to be the death of him.

OMG, THIS FIC! I love how it continues on directly from Without Irony — I just reread the fic prior to reading this sequel — seriously, they are both so good! Tony just breaks my heart with all his angst, but at the same time, I just wanted to smack him because he’s so stupid! And then the ending! OMG, my heart just ached at the back-up and Steve’s reaction to it, especially the fully customizable part. Oh Tony, you are so ridiculous and pathetic and make me want to rage at you and hug you simultaneously!
