    Summary

    "His face almost made her want to tell them everything. She could just imagine the shock on their faces. She’d always been one to go against their expectations, after all. Marry someone young? She’d rather have Howard Stark. Look pretty, act dumb? No, she’d rather have books than lipstick. Give up the company? Over her dead body.
    She was Maria Stark. She was Iron Man."

    Howard dies in a car crash; Maria doesn't. It's a long time until Maria dies, and until she drops dead where she stands, she's going to carry on.

    Summary

    Tony usually ignored the stupid flashing messages, but this one felt like it had been placed there especially for him. He had never thought about phone sex before, probably because it was such a dodgy cliché, but he clicked anyway, unable to resist.

    Or that one where Tony is a professor who happens to call a phone sex line and Bruce is his student, who happens to work at a phone sex line. Put the pieces together.

    Summary

    Tony Stark has always had many names, almost more than most people can keep track of. He freely admits that he himself can't remember all of them. He's already rebuked a few of those said names, and each one has its own backstories and feelings.

    Summary

    --
    The Flesh-Tony's time was up. It had always been up. It was only through the genius of the Doctor, Howard Stark, and Tony Stark's that it had been delayed for so long.

    He looked at them pleadingly, desperately, and also with a look of betrayal on his face. River didn't need to be psychic to know what was going on in his mind. That was his life now. He was Tony Stark of Earth. He had suffered and hurt, he had risked everything for this world...his world, and here it was just disposing him as if he were nothing. Tears of unfairness and anger flooded Tony-Flesh's eyes and the last words he managed to whisper that confused everyone there but River were, "I am Tony Stark...I am!"
    -

    The Doctor brings Tony Stark with him as a child, but to not mess with the universe makes a Rebel Flesh Tony to act as a stand in as he takes the real one with him and he, Tony, and River make up the most clever family of all time.

    Summary

    Tony Stark was pretty sure life held a grudge against him. He just couldn't recall what he had done to deserve such punishments. All he wanted was his father's approval, his attention, his love...
    But sometimes, life doesn't give you something you want, not because you don't deserve it, but because you deserve more...
