Fics like Kintsugi

Kintsugi (golden joinery) -defined as "to repair with gold", it is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum.

He opened a drawer and pulled out the bundle of photographs he'd taken from the mansion. He held it in his hands like a lifeline and said, "I'm going to prove to you I can be good," he put them in his pocket. "I will not fuck this up." A little voice in his head told him that was all he did, but Tony boxed him away. He was in charge now. He was going to evolve.
