    Summary

    “Bruce?” Tony finally managed at last, though it sounded like it took Herculean effort on his part to get his lungs to work and Bruce took a tentative few steps forward. “You came back.”

    Bruce stopped again at that, though. He didn’t want to give Tony the wrong impression of what this was – though certainly Tony couldn’t have meant that he came back for him. They hadn’t seen each other for over fifteen years and the way Bruce left was not open to interpretation. Whatever Tony meant by that, it couldn’t have been what it sounded like.

    “No,” he said, trying to utter the word with some kind of finality.

    “No one told me... Your name isn’t on the guest registry,” Tony said as he looked down at the desk in front of him.

    “It’s probably under my fiance’s name.”

    To his credit, Tony tried to keep his face as neutral as possible even if he couldn’t hide it in his voice as he asked, “your fiance?”

    “Yeah,” Bruce said, pretending his heart wasn’t beating faster with every step he took towards the check-in desk and Tony. “The reservation will be under Justin Hammer.”

    (A wannabe rom-com where Bruce returns to his childhood home to marry his high school boyfriend's college rival.)

    Summary

    “You have been so good,” he sighed and he sounded tired, his eyes searching Bruce’s a moment. “You are always so good. You know that, right?”

    Bruce paused and didn’t answer as he stepped forward to undress Tony.

    “Bruce,” he said, grasping his wrists and Bruce couldn’t bring himself to look at him. “You know that?” 

    “Tony,” he warned carefully and Tony dropped his wrists but he moved in close and grasped his head in both hands, pressing Bruce's face against the side of his and holding him close. 

    “Know that I know,” he murmured as Bruce’s fingers found their way to his waistband, slipping the button on them.

    Each piece he removed, he removed gently and planted a kiss on Tony’s body. His neck, his chest, sliding to his knees and kissing his hips. It wasn’t always like this; despite wearing a collar Bruce was far from subservient. But this was different, this was special.

    Summary

    “When is Bruce coming back?” he asked instead, biting the words out, feeling Hulk go rigid behind him, irritated. 

    Tony knew Bruce hated it when he antagonized Hulk, worried that he was going to snap, was going to hurt him. ‘You don’t know what he’s like, he’s got a violent nature,’ Bruce would say but Bruce had a violent nature too and Hulk wouldn’t hurt him. Sometimes Tony thought Hulk actually liked Tony’s shitty attitude, liked that Tony wasn’t scared of him – but even if he was wrong about that, he wasn’t wrong about the way Hulk would hold him in the middle of the night, tender in his big arms, stroking his back with surprisingly deft fingers. ‘Hulk protect you,’ he’d whisper every time. ‘Nothing ever hurt Tony.’

    “Banner,” Hulk muttered as his fingers curled into the bruises already there along Tony’s hips and he bit back a gasp. “Tony always want Banner.”

    “You know for a fact that I do not always want Bruce,” Tony argued as his tablet pinged again and he glanced over to where it was sitting abandoned on a table. 

    Hulk huffed but when Tony’s eyes returned to the window, he could see Hulk grinning.

    Summary

    “Behold the death of earth-bound astronomy.” 

    Tony’s stomach clenched and he felt his heart shudder against his chest at the sound of that soft, amused lilt – but he was careful not to turn and give himself away. 

    “It does have a certain kind of beauty, I suppose,” Bruce said as he stepped up to the railing to stand beside him. “You couldn’t have done anything to diminish the reflection?” 

    “You paid the ten thousand dollar cover charge to get in here?” Tony asked with derision, risking only a brief glance in the other man’s direction. 

    Bruce grunted a laugh in reply. 

    “I’m a government asset,” he said with no affection for the position, “I go where I please.”

    “And this is where you want to be tonight?” 

    Tony looked at him askance this time, studying him from the corner of his eye even though he knew the answer. 

    “There are worse places.”

    Summary

    Tony stormed through the beautiful Four Seasons Montreal on a warpath, barely cognizant of all the fine features – marbled floors and expensive glass panels and gold gilding. Even if he hadn’t been seething, the fact that he wasn’t put up in such accommodations – and hadn’t been since he wore his own last name on his employee badge – wouldn’t have bothered him. Tony was too old to feel bitter, but he wasn’t too old to be petty about the fact that he was born and raised in luxury and categorically refused to bat an eye or allow himself to feel impressed when presented with it.

    But now, livid as he was? It only added to his anger, that Banner would be rewarded like this. The kid was all of twenty-three and clearly possessed the maturity of a child half that age – handing him this kind of opulence and telling him he deserved it was only asking for trouble. Or at least an ego the size of most small continents – and it wasn’t like Tony didn’t know from personal experience.

    (Or: The one where Bruce is a Formula 1 driver and Tony the team's lead engineer.)

    Summary

    Steve felt the pain of Coulson’s death to his core. His whole body went hot and his stomach turned and he felt like he was going to throw up as he whipped his head back around to Zemo and he glared. 

    “What the fuck was that for?” he heard himself say, figuring it had to be an intervention from God because he had been sure if he opened his mouth the only thing that would come out was bile. “Do you have any idea how long it will take to replace him?”

    Zemo chuckled and it was all Steve could do not to strangle him with his bare hands.

    Summary

    Monday night was never a great night for a bar crowd and Tony found Malibu – despite its lackadaisical attitude and flippant advertising – was no exception to the rule. That didn’t seem to bother Pepper though as she spun the stick of cherries in her pale blue drink and downed a whole mouthful, grinning.

    “What about him?” she asked, eyeing over at a buff blonde with a country boy kind of look that seemed out of place in California but somehow worked for him – ripped up, faded jeans and a backward baseball cap with a white tee.

    Tony snorted and thumbed his own whiskey sour.

    “You have such a type,” he accused, more sharply than intended.

    Summary

    Tony Stark didn’t cry. 

    At least not outside of the privacy of his own bedroom. At least not once he realized boys weren’t supposed to cry. But he sure as hell felt like crying today.

    He hated going to the Seattle office to begin with. The flight was long, the people didn’t like him there, the hotel options all sucked, and he could never spend less than a week out there and he hated spending that much time away from home.

    But usually his trips weren’t as bad as this.

    Summary

    “I don’t usually smoke weed,” Tony told him, letting it come off more cavalier than honest about his nerves as Bruce took him back to the bedroom in his small, one-bedroom apartment and offered him a hand-rolled joint.

    “You don’t have to,” Bruce replied easily. “It just helps because –” he made a hopeless hand gesture with his own joint in one hand and a lighter in the other “– fuck all of this.”

    Summary

    Against his better judgment, Bruce agrees to go to Tony's ex-girlfriend's wedding as his date. Not because he'd had a crush on him for years – no. But because he couldn't deny those big, brown eyes. Little did he know however that he was signing himself up for the most romantic weekend of his life. With a man who clearly didn't love him and never would – no matter how much Bruce wished otherwise.

    Will he be able to survive the weekend and make it to the new year with his pride and his long-held secret intact? Bruce doesn't know – but he sure as hell's gonna try.

    After graduating MIT, Bruce and Tony settle into an easy life together in Philadelphia, trying to forget the difficulties of their pasts and focus on the future.

    Summary

    Gently, gently Tony worried his teeth into the back of Bruce’s neck. Bruce didn’t even flinch as he increased the suction, waiting with morbid curiosity to see if he’d wake up.

    Summary

    “Wish I could get you everything you deserve,” he breathed and Bruce lifted himself up on his elbow to peck him on the lips.

    “I didn’t even deserve you,” he said, eyes bright with tears, the barest hint of a smile on his face. “Believe me – you gave me everything.”

    Summary

    As Bruce chewed thoughtfully he made the most delicious face, closing his eyes, clearly appreciating it immensely, hitting Tony straight in his sensitive chest and shooting pleasure through his gut to see Bruce so enraptured by something he’d created. Not that it was particularly uncommon for Bruce to be overwhelmed by his genius in the lab – though that worked in reverse too – but this was so humble and so... personal. It had no application beyond the next half hour. This was one pure moment of joy and that’s when it hit him – food.

    Food was how he could show Bruce he cared.

    Summary

    “I want –” Bruce tried, swallowing around the awkwardness in his throat. “I want – I want you.”

    It was such a simple, pedestrian thing to say but the way Bruce said it? Like it ached in his chest? Tony knew exactly what he meant, exactly how he felt. Because he wanted him too. Not just his dick or to be fucked or whatever. He wanted Bruce to be there with him. All the time. Like he had been five short weeks ago before he got this stupid itch to travel.

    “God baby,” Tony groaned. “I want you too.”

    Summary

    He had resolved when he bought the truck to make senior year as good as he could and that was all part of his plan. Not fixing it up – though that had been an unexpected bonus. Getting to spend all that time alone with Tony, flirting over timing belts and kissing under carburetors and watching countless YouTube tutorials and eating lunch together two or three times a week was so much more than he was expecting. But that hadn’t been why he bought the truck – no. Bruce had other plans for senior year.

    Summary

    “I could torture you to within an inch of your life.” Rhodey’s fingers dug into the red marks on Tony’s ass, making him cry out in pain. “I could have you begging me to stop.”

    Please,” Tony begged in response and Bruce honestly wasn’t sure whether Tony was begging him to stop or to keep going.
