Summary: Now what do they do?
AN: Really important author's notes on this chapter.

First, this one comes with a hankie warning. Kyrie's read the penultimate and antepenultimate scenes at least a dozen times and still cries during them. Wanted to give you fair warning. If you messaged me earlier concerned about a particular storyline and where it might go — you know who you are — this is the chapter you might want to skip.

Also, because of the storylines, characters are considering paths you might or might not agree with. I've tried to keep the thoughts as authentic to the characters as possible. If you disagree with a character's thoughts, please pause and consider whether you think it's something that character in that situation might think, say or do before blasting me. If you still think it's OOC or poorly written, fire away.

Summary: Tim wants his Tony back...
AN: As always, huge thanks to Kyrie for editing and to everybody for your reviews! And sorry for the delay. It went up on time on FF.net, but then I got sidetracked with the Jesse Stern episode T-shirt and resulting JesseStern Appreciation Day celebration antics on Twitter. Fortunately, we didn't scare Jesse. But if I were him, I'd be worried about what the cast and crew might have planned, since some of them are notorious practical jokers... (And for those who asked: Steve Binder's up next, in time for Kill Screen, his next ep. We can't squeeze Frank and George in in time for theirs next week, but they're coming, too. Thankfully, Cat compiled a list of their eps through mid-S7 that will help!
