    Summary

    The bridges are burning, the heat's on my face
    Making the past an unreachable place
    Pouring the fuel, fanning the flames
    I know, this is the point of no return

    Bruce was right... they were just a chemical mixture. A bomb set to explode.

    Tony sat in the wake of it all...

    No he still had a promise to fulfill... his life wouldn’t be put to waste.

    Watch out world Tony ‘Fucking’ Stark is back... Iron Man Lives Again

    Note: On a Hiatus.

    Summary

    The footage: the birthday party, the Congressional hearing. It was easy to despise Tony Stark for those, and there wasn’t any need for self-reflection if those were the reason for disliking him. Much easier to write him off for those… Than to examine what it was about Afghanistan that set Steve’s teeth on edge.

    Summary

    The fallout had to come, and Team Cap is handling it; for his part Tony thinks that he can do better (or worse). It really depends how you look at it.

    Summary

    The world keeps pushing him, demanding, because what he did wasn't enough. Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, but that wasn't enough, wasn't ever enough.

    Tony Stark was tired. But he had a planet to protect, even if everyone laughed at him whenever the prospect of alien invasions was brought up. He could count on one hand how many people he could trust, which was disheartening but then, what else was new?

     

    Or,

     

    In which Tony does not, in fact, intend to take over the world.

    ...unfortunately, everyone else missed that particular memo.

     

    [gradual divergence from canon, starting at the end of Iron Man 3. In which it's Tony's self-awareness, rather than his support system, that becomes a cryptid sometime during Phase II.]

    Summary

    The MCU is terrible about showing realistic consequences for things that happen (especially for Steve Rogers). They just gloss over the (very serious) things that should/could have happened if the movies were to actually follow real world logic. So this is my attempt at bringing some realism to the MCU in the form of short unconnected snippets of AU scenarios.

    Prompts are always welcomed. If you have an idea of something you'd like to see, just tell me in the comments.

    Summary

    Tony can't get himself back from Siberia, and it takes the night for him to be rescued. While waiting to see if he'll die of hypothermia, he realises something for the first time. It wasn't that he failed because he hadn't tried hard enough. He had failed because he had tried too hard. His so-called team-mates had formed the habit of blaming Tony for everything because he had let them. He had shouldered the blame, let them attack him without consequence, and cleaned up after their mess, all so they could continue to feel self-righteous in peace. But it wasn't just him they were attacking, and saving the world didn't give them a free pass to be the very bullies that Steve claimed to fight against.

    Tony woke up in hospital, still sustained by the relief of his realisation. Things sucked, but they would get better. He was Tony Stark, and no challenge was too much for him. It was odd how much easier it was to plot when he actually did intend ways to manipulate the ex-Avengers into falling in line. And since that was what they seemed convinced he was doing all along, they didn't deserve a warning that it would now be true.

    Summary

    After the now-pardoned ex-Avengers settled back into the Compound, Steve finally went looking for Tony to have a discussion that was long overdue.

    The result of it wasn't what he was expecting--or wanting.

    Summary

    When people consider other options for a problem.

    Maria Hill can't believe that Fury is going along with this. She doesn't care what his end goal was, she was not about to have so many people in her conscience.

    So she made the obvious decision.

    Summary

    Loki is stripped of most of his powers and sent to Earth to - essentially - do community service with the Avengers to atone for his crimes. Whilst there he is drawn into a prank war with who else but Tony Stark, and things quickly escalate into a contest of scientific, super-powered, and magical trickery.

    But things are not all fun and games – something is coming from the deep darkness of the universe with Earth in its sights. Something like none of them has ever seen before.

    None of them except Loki, that is.
