Meanwhile Steve, though devastated by Bucky's loss, is determined to take care of Tony for Bucky's sake - it was practically his dying wish, after all. But as time passes and hearts begin to heal, Steve soon finds his feelings for Tony are less-than-platonic - and that Tony might even feel the same way.
But can he really start a relationship with his dead best friend's husband?
Working through guilt and grief and the ghost that is Bucky's memory, Steve and Tony cautiously decide to cultivate this thing between them. And just as everything starts falling into place and they build a life for themselves, Tony gets a call that once again sends it crashing down around them.
