Monochrome

A Steve/Tony fancomic. For the “breaking up” square on my 2018 STONY MCU Bingo card. This is now complete, though I have plans for a sequel (or two).

The text is from the Yann Tiersen song, “Monochrome.” (I skipped some lines and slightly altered a couple others to suit my purposes. I also broke up the lines a lot to go with the flow of the images. Here’s the full, correct lyrics of the song.)

Text reads:

anyway…
I can try anything
it’s the same circle
that leads to nowhere
and I’m tired now.
anyway…
I’ve lost my face,
my dignity, my look
everything is gone
and I’m tired now.
but don’t be scared,
I found a good job and
I go to work
every day
on my motorcycle you loved.
I am piling up some unread books under my bed
and I really think I’ll never read again.
No concentration, just a white disorder
everywhere around me,
you know I’m so tired now.
But don’t worry
I often go to dinners and parties
with some old friends
who care for me,
take me back home and stay.
monochrome floors,
monochrome walls,
only absence
near me
nothing
but silence
around me.
monochrome flat
monochrome life
only absence near me
nothing but silence around me.
Sometimes
I search
an event or something to remind me, but I’ve really got nothing in mind.
Sometimes I open the windows
and listen people walking in the down streets.
There is a life out there…
anyway…
I can try anything
it’s the same circle
that leads to nowhere
and I’m tired now.

The whole thing is also on AO3.

Tony let the open tie hang around his neck, unbuttoned the top of his shirt, and Steve stared, for a second imagining holding him by that tie and pulling him closer and licking a line down Tony’s long, elegant neck—

Damn him.


Happy 616 day! Here’s a fic/art collab between @laireshi​ and I, based on this amazing moment in Avengers v4 #18 where it looked like Steve was talking to Tony while touching the nape of his neck. Read the fic, it’s incredible!! And you can see which panel I’m talking about in the cut below:
