Tony Cheats-- but not really

[nolabelbwywb.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for a fanfic I read where everyone thinks Tony cheated (on Steve I think?) and turns their back on him/ hates him for it. Later it turns out that Tony was actually assaulted, and did not want to admit it/be pitied.

Even if you cannot find the exact fic I would just love to read more fics where people assume that Tony is a cheater when the reality is much worse or Tony is misunderstood entirely. I recently read one where it was actually Steve who cheated.

I don't really care what pairing it is, but I've recently just really wanted to see this story idea.

Thanks!

I wish I knew which one this was! I'd love to read it as well. Was it on A03 or somewhere else? I can look for it.

I'm pretty sure it was on ao3, but my idiotic self didn't bookmark it :(

I know the one you're looking for, and I'm searching my bookmarks. While this isn't it, a similar story is Real Strength Means Not Letting Anyone Break You on AO3.
