Tony/Steve, Neglectful!Steve

[lovelyiknow.livejournal.com]

Hello! I’m looking for a specific fic in which Bucky returns and Steve ignores Tony in favor of looking after Bucky (Stony is already an established relationship). I know it’s not So Selfish by somanyfeels. I remember the team actually being close and Nat noticing that Tony was like a walking zombie in the beginning. I think there was a scene where Tony said out loud that it was okay, he was less important. There might have also been a scene where Tony couldn't sleep. The team was very protective over Tony, I remember that. I think Nat might have confronted Steve...

Hmm... I know I've read a few with this premise, but the only one I can find right now other than So Selfish is Never Gonna Happen (https://archiveofourown.org/works/1233235) by Annehiggins, which doesn't quite fit the bill. It has Steve standing Tony up (on their wedding day!) when Bucky is found alive, but it's more presented as Tony over-reacting than Steve doing Tony wrong. Still, even if that's not the one you're looking for it's worth a read if you're into that kind of thing. I'll keep looking to see if I can find some of the others with this theme as I feel sure I've read more.

is it Newborn by Ilerre on ffnet?

the team had just healed from the events in the first two chapters and are close, Natasha confronts Steve, and the rest of the team are all low-key judging Steve.
