    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

    The hum hit before the hand did. Tony feels the frequency first — a subtle wrongness in his chest — before the world folds in on itself. Ten seconds of silence, and Wraith has what he came for.

     

    Tony Stark builds noise—machines that hum, towers that shine, a world that never stops moving.
    Wraith lives in silence—a man who kills the lights and waits for the breath between heartbeats.

    One creates. One erases.
    When their paths cross, invention meets its shadow, and the sound of Tony’s world begins to fade.
    Because sometimes the quiet isn’t peace. It’s a warning.

    For a split second, everything went silent. Clint swore, yanking his hearing aids out as they started sparking.
    The room went bright for an instant—then black.

    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.

    Summary

    Takes place in a post-Avengers world where the Avengers have lived together in the Tower for a few months now.

    When a spontaneous team night is interrupted by an Avengers-fight, Tony is left gravely injured. Steve and the team have to hurry to get him the help he needs and take care of him in the aftermath.

    Honestly, that's just it lol. This fic is shameless Tony whump and shameless domestic Avengers/Avengers family vibes. I think we all still need some of that, even if it is 2025 already :)

    Update: This fic got a life of its own. Will now also feature: Tony having trust issues, the team solving said issues through (playful, of course) bullying, the team being a family, Tony having other issues, the team helping him through said issues and sleepovers.

    Summary

    Toni Stark grows up shielded from the shadow of her famous father. When she was five, Maria took her and ran to Europe. Antonia is brilliant, she has been her whole life, but out of the shadow of warmongers Maria can finally see the starfire in her, the cosmic iron of her spine.  Her daughter will never have the peace and obscurity her mother wants for her, and so she gives her music instead. Toni's memories of Howard, of America, of Starks and fame and fortune fade over the years. Peggy and Maria take care never to speak of him where she can hear, never to mention what once was. They know she'll need to take up that life again one day anyway.

    Toni performs hitting the limits of her brilliance to her professors and peers, but she is lying. Her mind has found no borders it cannot transcend.

    Steve Rogers is found frozen in the Arctic when Toni is 23 and finishing her master's degree. She follows the news dispassionately. Her father's shining face on television does not frighten her. It frightens Maria.

    Four months later, Toni Stark wakes to a new life in a hospital bed somewhere in Germany.

    Summary

    Tony’s arc reactor is glitching—but it’s not the sparks under his skin that bring him to his knees. It’s Bucky. Quiet, unyielding, and hot in all the ways Tony hasn’t let himself want. What starts as grounding turns into something raw: hands on skin, mouths on gasps, desperation pressed into the floor of the lab. Bucky doesn't just calm the chaos—he claims him in it. And Tony lets him, because for once, falling apart feels like coming home.

    Summary

    Stephen was settling down for a night of medical journal and the sort of trashy tv he would never admit to watching when he got the call.

    -_-

     

    “Stephen?” Tony asked, voice hoarse. “What are you doing here?”

    “You missed your date with Christine, then didn’t answer the phone. Neither did JARVIS. I came to check on you.”

    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.

    Summary

    Tony Stark knows what the reactor feels like, so when he has to have it put back in after a mission gone wrong, it's almost like coming home. Or, it should be.

    Instead, a new nightmare follows him, and it's beginning to affect some of the others on the team, including Bucky Barnes, who can't seem to stop himself from getting pulled deeper, despite how much he knows he needs out.
