48. high school reunion au (steve/tony)
“Woah. That was a big sigh.”
Tony kept his eyes on the bar-top as he sighed again. “Big problems.”
“Oh, yeah?”
“Mm.” Tony sipped his drink and finally looked up. When he did, his drink went down the wrong way and he spluttered. “Wow. Hi.”
The man at his side grinned, blue eyes crinkling. “Hi. So, want to talk about those problems? I’m a pretty good listener.”
“I’d rather talk about you,” Tony said, a purr slipping into his tone as though he couldn’t help himself. “I don’t remember you.”
The man’s face soured a little, handsome features twisting for just a moment. “No, I don’t expect you would. I remember you, though.”
A lot of people remembered Tony. Not all for the reasons that Tony would have liked, he thought as he turned back to his drink. He lifted his glass in a mock salute. “Two shitty high school experiences, then. I hope your reunion will be better.”
“Not been great so far,” the man said and Tony couldn’t stop himself from turning to look at him again, taking a moment to study his features.
He was gorgeous, that much Tony could admit. But however attractive he was, Tony saw nothing overly familiar about him. It was only his eyes that made Tony pause. They were a beautiful blue and there was something about them that sparked a memory. Tony just couldn’t put his finger on what it was exactly.
“Nor mine,” he said finally. “I fooled myself into thinking that my high school crush would be here, but he’s not.”
And, wow. No hesitation in admitting that. High-School-Tony would have rather been tied to the flagpole in front of every student than say he fancied a boy out loud, but times changed. His dad couldn’t hurt him anymore, after all.
“Oh?”
Tony nodded sadly, tongue flicking out to chase the straw in his drink. “Mm. Doubt you’d remember him. No one else seems to. I’m starting to think I made him up, actually.”
The man snorted. “Sounds familiar.”
“Looked nothing like you, though,” Tony said, giving the man a once-over. He quirked a grin and Tony matched it before he began to reminisce again. “He was tiny. Even compared to me, which is saying something given how big I was.”
“Wow. He really must have been small.”
“Hey!” Tony shouted even as he laughed. “But yes, he was. School punching bag, pretty much. Held his own, though. Or tried to, at the very least. Had a black eye more often than he didn’t and yet he was the fittest guy I knew.”
“Wait; who are you talking about?”
“Steve,” Tony said, sighing on the name. It still made his heart flutter, even if he hadn’t seen the guy since graduation. “Steve Rogers. Hung around with Barnes until he went off to college. I think they might have been brothers, even if the bullies used to say they were together.”
The man choked on air and Tony startled, reaching out to slap him on the back.
“Christ, are you okay?”
“You fancied him?”
Tony withdrew the helpful hand he’d offered and glared darkly instead. “Yes. Yes, I did. Were you one of the jackasses that beat him up?”
The man spluttered again, long limbs flailing so much he nearly fell from his bar stool. For someone so large, he wasn’t very aware of his size, it seemed.
“No.”
“Hm.” Tony narrowed his eyes as he settled back down. He let it go and turned back to his drink, taking another long pull. “I was going to ask him out at prom, but my dad wouldn’t let me go.”
“Maybe it was for the best,” the man said and Tony looked up at him curiously, intrigued by the careful tone, “I got beaten up at prom. Badly.”
Tony snorted and then held his hand up apologetically. “Sorry, sorry. I just bet that Steve did, too. A right knight in shining armour he was; always jumping into fights he should have stayed away from. Once, there was this girl from the chess club being harassed by the biggest guy in school and Steve–”
“What was I meant to do?” the man cut in hotly, “let her be groped?”
Realisation crashed over Tony and his mouth fell open. “Steve?” He floundered for a moment. “Steve Rogers? What happened to you? Were you a part of a government experiment; were you injected with something illegal and drug-related?”
Steve laughed, albeit a little stilted. “No. Nothing so exciting, I’m afraid. I joined the army. Me and Buck both did, right after my graduation.”
“Damn. God bless America.”
“You haven’t changed, have you?” Steve asked with a grin.
“Why would I want to?” Tony shot back, winking at Steve and ignoring the rapid pounding of his heart. He wasn’t a child anymore; he could handle a little embarrassment.
“No reason,” Steve said and his expression was so earnest that Tony felt a flicker of hope. “You should never change.”
“Thank you.”
Neither of them had looked away for a while, the air between them growing thick. When Tony hollowed his cheeks around his straw again, Steve’s gaze followed the movement.
“Well, tonight has been a disaster from start to finish,” Tony said, letting his tongue wet his bottom lip just to see Steve’s eyes fall there. “Maybe we can redeem it?”
“I’d like to think so,” Steve said, eyes darkening, “because I’m definitely not finished yet.”

In continuation, since Tumblr has some restrictions.
2. I am a doctor.
The right to equality, on paper, includes the right to equality before law. Unfortunately, I can confidently say that is not the case. Why? Because according to Indian law, as I was taught in Forensic Medicine, since I am/will be a doctor, the moment I raise my hand on a patient/attender, even in self-defence, I am liable to more legal consequences than the person who assaulted me. Therefore, as a doctor, under the laws of my country, I no longer am a person.
There have been ever-increasing incidents of violence against doctors, where perpetrators are barely given a slap on the wrist, even in my institution, one of the “elite” Central Government Medical Institutions, even when the assailant is a health professional themselves.
That is to say absolutely nothing of labour laws. The maximum limit in India is apparently 48 hours/week, something that took me for one by great surprise, because it’s routine that health care professionals, especially intern and resident doctors work easily 100+ hours a week.
That’s not counting the endless free consults most of us do, day in and day out. Legally, we would have the right to renumeration. Something that, most of us, when interpreting reports and offering advice over call or message to distant relatives or friends of family friends beyond duty hours, do not ask for. And yet, when we protest for our rights, the first thing we hear is “Oh, if you are protesting, it is definitely for money!” that we shame our noble profession.
The nobility of our profession, dear public, is bilateral. We cannot be noble alone. While I do not deny that there are horrible doctors who are a disgrace to the profession, I think that generalisation does us no favours.
Our motives need to be seen for what they are, especially when we are protesting for our rights.
3. I am a woman and a doctor.
This definitely bears repeating, in light of recent events, especially, when female doctors on duty have been raped and molested within the span of days, with justice nowhere to be found, for which there is a national protest of doctors currently taking place.
4. I am an intern physician
This particular sect, unfortunately, has no media coverage or news articles to defend itself, merely my ineffectual words. When calling us to protest, in our organisations, our seniors “forgot” to represent us. While protesting, they forgot to acknowledge us for our participation. All we got were scoldings and reprimands on why we worked during a strike (because our seniors were striking, and they gave us work to do, or because they themselves came to work and were calling us as well, because our strike does not cover emergency services) .
Those of us who did protest were scolded as well, as a group, for the above. When our seniors themselves do not acknowledge our efforts, who else do we have? No one.
Absolutely no one.
Tagging @dreamer-in-sleep (this is the probable future you might have to look forward to, buddy) @cosmolibra @enigma-the-mysterious @hindumyththoughts @masaladhosa (you guys are probably going through similar straits, if not worse) @hum-suffer @sanskari-kanya @thequirkybookaholic @theysaywhatasadsight @randomfandomtraveller @harinishivaa
*please note that the underlined words are hyperlinks that lead to articles that corroborate what I have written here.
Below image is one of the many taken during the protests in our college. The original photo included some information about my college, which I cropped out, because whatever may be, I don’t want to compromise the reputation of said college even in a vent post.
Pertinent Issues I and My Fraternity Face
The above picture states, in simple words, my right as an Indian citizen. (For those of you who might be used to US-centric posts and thoughts alone, I mean a citizen of the country India. In Southeast Asia.)
However, I have felt, throughout my life, and more strongly in the recent past, that as a daughter of the nation and young woman who is a doctor, especially a doctor in training aka an intern, that a lot of these rights are not being met.
I think I would like to enumerate how a lot of circumstances violate the rights of a very large section of the population of this country, more than half of it to be exact, if only to raise my voice, futile though it might be.
I belong to three groups, all of which I believe fall under vulnerable population.
1. I am a young woman.
I feel the fact that there is one rape every sixteen minutes in my country violates my right, our right to freedom and equality. For the right to freedom means I can live my life and enjoy personal liberties without any obstacles.
However, that seems to be hardly the case, because the response to the above fact about rape is restriction of our freedom and equality. How? Because the response I have heard by and large in the society, even by people I love, to such incidents is unequivocal and the same:
Don’t go outside at night. Don’t go outside with a boy. Don’t dress in a particular manner. You should always be alert. Always be polite, because what if someone stronger than you, a man, is offended and decides to sexually assault you? What if you “deserve it”?
How, I ask, can any woman deserve such horrors? When we are not safe anywhere, not in our homes, not in our workplaces, not in means of transport, not on the roads, how, then, is our right to freedom and equality protected? Especially when said equality is against discrimination on the grounds of sex as well?
I think these pictures would do a better job than I at explaining what I mean.

I am just going to ramble here to you, but i really want to see steve and tony in old love au, it's a short story by Jeffrey archer but i want to see somebody write it. It's super adorbs and i thought it went well with the pair. The guy and the girl both were academic rivals in the literature, like they both would constantly lock horns with each other, but they marry later on. The ending was super sad tho. The wife dies of a heart attack so the husband shoots himself with a pistol after that.
listen i went and wiki-ed the summary like an absolute FOOL AND C R I E D. it's the enemies to lovers au but make it english and old and steve tony would just,,, fit? they always do.
steve as william and tony as phillippa, budding undergraduates at Oxford and being their juvenile selves. they share the same classes of course, and they're both really good at english. their competitive spirit manifests in the form of them showing each other down in front of their teacher, sir nicholas fury, because that's their thing now. they're arrogant and hateful, never having the patience to understand the other. neither ever submits.
anyway it's not long before their constant bickering and hurling their opinions at each other, across the classroom turns into something else for the both of them and they start to yearn.
one day, tony's mother dies and that shakes him to his very core and inevitably, he finds solace in steve. this brings them closer and they, what do you know, start to fall in love. steve comforts tony by not being loving, but by being his usual self and insulting tony to the point that tony fights back. but each knows what one actually means.
just like that, they get married and it's strange to see two people who fight so much together but rumor has it that they are never really apart, save for a few hours here and there.
steve and tony continue to live their lives as an old, bickering couple until one day after they've fought over a The Times crossword, tony has a heart attack and dies on the spot, calling out for steve who isn't there. steve finds out a few hours later and shoots himself, a note beside his body- "forgive me. i had to let him know."
it's what they said; they were never really apart, even in death.
