    Summary

    "Contrary to popular belief, I know exactly what I'm doing." Tony said, barely sparing Rhodey a glance after taking a swig of some dark liquid that didn't look like scotch or soda. Rhodey knew that was his cue to leave, Tony's version of a polite dismissal, but his feet were rooted to the floor. He couldn't take his eyes off the dark lines climbing up Tony's neck, lines they both knew weren't road rash. Road rash didn't look like it was trying to poison the brain. It didn't create the paleness of his skin, the sweat from his brow, and the tiredness of his eyes. It didn't cause him to collapse, too weak to hold himself up.

    ___

    In a universe where Rhodey didn't let the road rash excuse go, events pan out very differently.

    Summary

    “You do realize this information makes it harder for me to allow you to see him.”
    “I know, but I have no choice.” The girl suddenly felt a wave of adrenaline rush through her, driven by the surge of panic at the thought of being denied access to Tony Stark.
    “HYDRA is everywhere. Not just the government. Here. In Stark Industries. They were responsible for Mr. Stark’s kidnapping in Afghanistan—”
    “The Ten Rings perpetrated the attack—”
    “—hired by Obadiah Stane, who was a member of HYDRA.” That silenced Romanoff. “I promise you, I swear on my life, I’m telling the truth. HYDRA is the enemy, not me.”
    “Why do you need to see Stark?”
    The girl smiled wryly. “That’s even less believable.”
    Romanoff leaned her arms on the table and grinned in challenge. “Try me.”
    --
    OR; when a fifteen-year-old girl shows up at Stark Tower shortly after Christmas claiming to be the daughter of Tony Stark, the Avengers come face-to-face with the harsh reality of HYDRA much sooner than anticipated.

    Summary

    Bucky hasn't had an easy time starting a new life after Hydra. He's a mess of a human who barely functions on a good day. Today was not a 'good day.' He finds himself at the edge of a mental break, but falling apart would have to wait for another time.

    He's called to duty by Steve Rodgers when he finds out Manhattan is under attack by an unknown enemy. The Avengers were spread thin, down men and in need of help, and Bucky Barnes was the only backup they had left.

    There is no other choice than to join the fight. Unfortunately, Steve Rogers has already assigned him a partner, the one and only Iron Man. To say that Bucky and Tony Stark did not get along was an understatement. Tony wanted Bucky dead, and Bucky, well, he just wanted Tony to leave him alone.

    They are forced to set aside their emotions when they are ambushed and the Iron Man suit is destroyed, leaving them in a war zone and cut off from the team. Injured and hunted, they must fight for survival, but sometimes fighting just isn't enough. This is a trap they cannot escape.

    Abducted and imprisoned in a desolate cell, what is it that their unknown captors want? More importantly, how the hell were James and Tony going to get out of this?

    Summary

    One thing about Tony Stark, was that he didn't like being handed things.

    On May the 29th, 1970, at precisely 04:23AM, Tony Stark, as the sole heir to Stark Industries, was born indebted to his father.

    He had then spent the next eighteen-something years paying up for that gift, with his blood, tears, and sweat.

    Mostly his blood.

    OR : Since Spider-Man made a guest appearance at Tony's last mission, he has been feeling indebted to the vigilante. Something he does not handle well.

    TW : Mentions of blood, graphic description of physical and psychological child abuse, and swearing.

    Summary

    He’s supposed to be healing — physically and otherwise — when Hermione shows up with a satchel full of potions and the kind of patience he doesn’t know what to do with.

    Summary

    Tony's been toeing just about the right side of danger as long as he can remember; one more drink, one more night without sleep, one more day without dropping. Within weeks of the Avengers moving in, Tony's so far over that edge he can't even remember what solid earth feels like beneath his feet.

    Maybe this was a horrible idea.

    Maybe this is going to end badly.

    Summary

    Stephen Strange was a doctor who got defenestrated and broke his hands. And he's not even joking. So when he learns that nothing will save his hands and he will never be able to operate again, he uses his stubbornness and is told about a mystical place in the Himalayas: Kamar-Taj.

    Tony Stark was never Iron Man. He was never a hero, never anything except 'genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist'. Tony Stark was told that he is going to die. He doesn't want to die so, after hearing about the mysterious 'Kamar-Taj' from an employee, he decides to give it a shot.

    When the two meet, they start to form a close friendship and eventually, they fall for the other. Hard. But hypothermia, ancient magical threats, their own stubbornness, childhood trauma, and society itself threaten to tear their friendship apart.

    Fortunately, things happen and the universe decides that yes, they should get together in the end.

    Summary

    Takes place in a post-Avengers world where the Avengers have lived together in the Tower for a few months now.

    When a spontaneous team night is interrupted by an Avengers-fight, Tony is left gravely injured. Steve and the team have to hurry to get him the help he needs and take care of him in the aftermath.

    Honestly, that's just it lol. This fic is shameless Tony whump and shameless domestic Avengers/Avengers family vibes. I think we all still need some of that, even if it is 2025 already :)

    Update: This fic got a life of its own. Will now also feature: Tony having trust issues, the team solving said issues through (playful, of course) bullying, the team being a family, Tony having other issues, the team helping him through said issues and sleepovers.

    Summary

    In 1970, Anthony Edward Stark blinked up at his mother. And his eyes—oh, his eyes—were the clearest, brightest blue she had ever seen.

    In 1992, Tony stared at the pale blue of his eyes and hated it. Not because blue was bad—he’d always liked the blue, actually—but because people always noticed. People always asked. And right now, that was the last thing he wanted.

    Summary

    Toni Stark grows up shielded from the shadow of her famous father. When she was five, Maria took her and ran to Europe. Antonia is brilliant, she has been her whole life, but out of the shadow of warmongers Maria can finally see the starfire in her, the cosmic iron of her spine.  Her daughter will never have the peace and obscurity her mother wants for her, and so she gives her music instead. Toni's memories of Howard, of America, of Starks and fame and fortune fade over the years. Peggy and Maria take care never to speak of him where she can hear, never to mention what once was. They know she'll need to take up that life again one day anyway.

    Toni performs hitting the limits of her brilliance to her professors and peers, but she is lying. Her mind has found no borders it cannot transcend.

    Steve Rogers is found frozen in the Arctic when Toni is 23 and finishing her master's degree. She follows the news dispassionately. Her father's shining face on television does not frighten her. It frightens Maria.

    Four months later, Toni Stark wakes to a new life in a hospital bed somewhere in Germany.
