Summary
It is an awful thing, to cry out with no one there and nothing to hurt him. (It is an awful thing, to hurt all the same.)Stephen felt his chest splinter. Tony's fingers shake. The answer lies over their pulses, but neither dare to look.Or: a soulmate au where the pain of your soulmate is felt as your own.--It was the initials on his wrist, scrawled in boyhood cut short, inked black capitals stark against the dawn. Soulmates, then. They stared up at him, as if in laughter.A.E.S.
