There are so many different ways that Steve and Tony’s lives
intertwine across the different Marvel universes (so many, in fact, that we had to split this post into two parts!). It means that the
possibilities of what they mean to each other are virtually endless! We get to
see such an assortment of emotions and scenarios, and all of them build on each
other to make Steve and Tony’s relationship more meaningful.
We get relief at knowing the other is alive.
We get respect and teamwork…
…domestic bliss…
…and family arguments.
There’s betrayal and anger….
…pining…
…sadness…
and some mutual admiration!
We see them acknowledge their feelings…
…and soft I will miss you’s.
In
fact, there are so many deep and varied reasons that we love Steve and Tony
across the multiverse, we have compiled Slashy Moments List and a Ship
Manifesto about all the reasons we love them!
What makes you ship
Steve/Tony? What about them inspires you to create? What part of their story do
you want to tell?
