A Poisoned Heart (Still Beats) by Hello_fandoms
Fandoms: Iron Man (Movies), Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel, The Avengers (Marvel Movies), Avengers
09 Nov 2025

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
“It’s not about us!” Tony looks towards them again. A glimmer in his eyes. “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m happy to announce, that the future isn’t just on our shoulders anymore. All this wouldn’t have been possible, without the heir to Stark Industries, Peter Parker! So welcome back, to the Stark Expo.” Tony bows deeply, before making his way towards them.
Ned cheers loudly into his ear once more. Peter feels frozen in place.
Heir to Stark Industries…? Peter feels a knot form in his stomach. Tony wanted to leave the company to him. No, didn’t want to, he already had. Heir… Peter hadn’t agreed to that.
Arms fold around his shoulders and he has to fight every instinct in his body not to flinch back at Tony’s caring touch. “I- Tony… I’m not… I’m not sure I can-“
***
In an alternate universe Tony Stark is confronted with his past and forced to make a life changing decision in order to protect Peter Parker. And learn a few things about himself along the way.

i tried too hard, i tried too hard and now im drowning by idiolex

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.

Cracks in the Armor by DareDevilR21
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel, The Avengers (Marvel Movies), Iron Man (Movies)
19 Mar 2025
Tags
Summary
After a succesful mission to take down a HYDRA-base right under their noses in Manhattan, Tony is injured. Hiding his injury from the rest of the team, the team quickly starts to pick up on his off-character behaviour, and they're not letting it go just like that. As they try to get him to open up, Tony starts to distance himself while his physical- and emotional- state worsens. When push comes to shove, the team scrambles to show the genius he can trust them fully, with all of himself. Tony finds out along the way that it is not so bad to be taken care of - and to be cared for by- his friends.
Basically some good Avengers vibes because Tony deserves it. Features a heavy dose of arc-reactor angst. Also, Steve has patience, which works out great for both of them.-

This is their story and the story of them finding each other and becoming family.

The Tsum of Our Parts by Shi_Toyu for Briz
Fandoms: The Avengers (Marvel) - All Media Types, The Avengers (Marvel Movies), Iron Man (Movies), Captain America (Movies)
26 Dec 2018
Tags
Summary
Tony couldn’t remember a time when he hadn’t had his soul Tsum. The little thing had appeared as soon as Tony was born, which wasn’t completely unheard of. It just meant that his soulmate was older than him, old enough to have already developed their own Tsum characteristics, so maybe early teenage years. That happened all the time. It wasn’t even particularly scandalous. They’d probably meet later in life, when the age gap didn’t mean quite so much.
What was unusual was how cold his Tsum was.

It's Thor that is able to vocalise what exactly Tony and Bruce's friendship is.
Natasha is having a hard time doing that because she is too busy trying to define what her relationship with Bruce is defined as.
