This is gorgeous and heartbreaking! Tony's face at seeing this other version of himself ugh. And all the Steve's anguish anf pain killed me.
The panel of the shield room was specially great to me, just that one shot of all the shields to make Steve realise what a desperate situation he is in. Ouch ouch.
I love the design of conqueror Tony, and really all of it! How you showed his powers and the use of colour. And oh oh Tony's halo and that hole on his chest gives him such an eerie look. Like a beautiful nightmare.
This whole thing reminds me a bit of Moebius's style.
This is definitely the hard thing to swallow kind of content, but so gorgeously done that you can't look away. Loved it.
Thanks for all your work and for sharing your art!

  Thank you! I think “beautiful nightmare” really captures the kind of aesthetic I was going for, so I’m glad to see I made it work.
  Hard to swallow is very good. I def want it to be upsetting lmao.

Wow. That was perfect XD
I love how much we get to see of this world, how twisted this version of Tony is.
And for what other reason would Tony become an interdimensional war lord?

  This universe’s Tony and Steve weren’t exactly nice people before, but losing Steve is what motivated Tony to start spreading his evil around the multiverse for sure.

You made it hurt on purpose.
I really, really, love this.
My God, all the Steves. Steve’s prayer. The tears on his face. The background story in this reality. Tony, eating lollipops after raping Steve.
The scenarios are magnificent and horrible.
One of the things I like most is Steve losing "hope", and here, all the broken Steves ... and then, for a moment, "You loved him." Tony is so sick, so sad and fucked up, that he would do all this terrible shit.
The final scene is wonderful. Disturbing. I don’t know who the fuck you are but I love you. It's more than I wanted and it's perfect.

You are just so good at facial expressions (for both Steve and Tony). Did Tony give Steve a glasgow smile to match his Steve? What happened to his Steve that he can't fix with the Infinity Stones? Overall, a very interesting idea and well-executed. I absolutely loved this :) even though it's super dark.

  Thank you :) Tony absolutely did give Steve a Glasgow grin, bringing him just a bit closer to being “perfect” (aka, more like the Steve in the jar)
  I don’t want to come right out and say how jar-Steve died, but it’s permanent.

Omg this is really something else...soo good yet so disturbing! Dark is not even close enough how to describe it! What horrifies me the most is how Tony looks like.. he is so sick and evil but his face is beautiful almost cute and adorable..and it’s unsettling. Your art is amazing I love all the small details..I would love to see the story before: evil perfect Steve and evil Tony being sadistic

I'm usually not a huge fan of Stony and Stony-related content but I absolutely love this extremely dark type of content and you're really really good at it! Is there gonna be a prequel/sequel to this? Bc I'd be super interested in reading it! Also, do the different colors around Tony's head and chest mean anything? Or is it just a throwaway creative choice?

  I’m glad you like the dark stuff, bc it’s what I like to do! And yes, there will be more backstory and... frontstory. I actually made some headway writing a sequel to this just today! Even I’m upset by the direction things are going :D
  As for the colors, they just go in rainbow order

    Awesome!! I really love the attention to detail for everything, from Tony eating that one Steve's arm to him checking out Steve's mouth before he cuts it! I can't wait to watch more Steve-suffering ;)
    (Full disclosure he is my favorite character ever, but I like to see him in fanon pain)

      It’s hard to say, because I have a system where I’m only allowed to work on 3 of my six projects at a time (because I have six... fucking projects oh no), and this is one of the three. So the next thing I update will either be this, Well How Did I Get Here, or A Kiss and a River. The sequel to this is pretty far along tho, and it’s set during Christmas! So there’s incentive for me to finish sometime around the holidays.
      tldr: hopefully Christmas.

Oh wow I really love this! I just have two things I'm super curious about! 1: Why's the casing Perfect!Steve's surrounded in covered in soot and 2: Do the other Steve's ever actually see each other? Or is it exclusively 'through the wall' talks??
Again I absolutely adore this and I can't wait for the sequel!

  That’s not soot, it’s... well, it’s not soot. It’s more like decay.
  The Steves only see each other if Tony wants to play games with more than one of them at a time, which he does sometimes. He likes to make them hurt each other. Mostly, though, they just talk through the walls. Try to keep each other sane as best they can.

This was amazing and perfect.
I love your author's note from the beginning "It's simple, some people show love for a character by doing bad things to them. And I really, really love Steve Rogers." And that completely captures how twisted love could be. I love this so much. Everything about is perfection.

Holy smokes. I'm actually shaking, that was amazing! There were flags everywhere, honestly. I had an inkling, from the very moment conquerer Tony took Steve, that something was wrong with /his/ Steve. Either had gone rogue, gone, or just dead. I really had not anticipated that ending with Tony actually trying to bring "back" his Steve.
It's really unfortunate what's become of Tony because of Steve's death, even though we all clearly know that Steve wouldn't have wanted to see him like this. 😢
Also, character designs are amazing! I love everything about this; the colours, the layout, the storytelling. Honestly one of a kind! Thank you for making and sharing!! 💕💘

I don't know why my bird brain thought this only had one chapter, so like every once in a while I came back and read it and marveled at the wall of all the Caps' shields and just...completely unaware that there are 4 (FOUR!) more chapters. And god the way the story unfurls is just fantastic. The Evil Tony design is just so good, I love the stag-esqe crown and the mask so much, and gosh the way you draw his expressions - sickly sweet to rage so smoothly - is just *mwah*. Poor Steve, what a nightmare to be trapped in - but ah, that what makes this story so delicious.

  Its funny you say "trapped in a nightmare" because it occurs to me that... Since Tony controls time, and since he prob doesn't have any plans do ever die of old age, he's honestly probably going to keep his Steves in this hell he's created... forever.
