    Summary

    Nominated for the Best Wild Card fic in the Irondad Creator Awards 2024

    Peter shakily says, “you need to let me leave.”

    “You will,” Tony reasons gently. “You will. Those doors will open the second you calm down.”

    The indignation morphs into fierce anger because “those doors will open the second you input the security override code,” he snaps. Peter may be freaking out right now, but he’s not an idiot.

    Caught, Tony pauses to look at him, to zero in and search. And Peter, terrified, grits his teeth and looks away. He can’t stomach being studied like that, and – he just, he really needs to leave right now. The standoff lasts for a few more seconds before finally Tony eases off: “FRIDAY, temporarily deactivate Baby Monitor Protocol – override code One-Zero-One-Seven-Two-Zero-Two-Three.”

    1-0-1-7-2-0-2-3
    October 17, 2023…

    Feeling sick, his lost eyes snap back to searching ones.

    The elevator doors open behind him but he doesn't move, choosing instead to stare at Mr. Stark as the weight bearing down on his chest sinks just a little further.

    Squeezing his shoulder, Tony explains: “The day I got you back.”

    Despondent, Peter pushes the hand off him. “The day I lost you.”

    Summary

    For some reason, Tony Stark is stuck with a baby that seems to teleport to him at seemingly random times.

    He's definitely not warming up to this spit gurgling, chubby cheeked cesspool of germs.

    He's not.

    Summary

    Tony had once heard that having a child was like having a part of your heart walking around in the world. He’d chalked that up to cheesy Hallmark sentiment until now, when he very literally felt like a piece of him had died.

    ***

    A character study and exploration of Tony’s relationship with fatherhood over the years.
