Summary
Tony can handle stress. That doesn't mean he wants to. A little stress pushes him into his lab to work on projects. Mild stress makes him start to push back and resist. Total stress makes him shut down, utterly and completely. Before he gets to that point where he shuts down, 100 percent, all stop, do not pass go, he disappears. He packs up and leaves town and disappears for days or even weeks at a time, shutting down his cell phone and not responding to anyone or anything. Pepper does all she can to make sure that doesn't happen, but when Steve stresses Tony out and things are piling up at work, Tony takes off and he takes Peter with him.

Iron Dad and Iron Fam fluff with minor Avengers angst.

Summary
If the world was ending, you'd come over, right?
The sky'd be falling and I'd hold you tight
And there wouldn't be a reason why
We would even have to say goodbye
There's a hole in the skies above New York, and aliens flying through the city, wreaking havoc aimlessly. The world is ending, and Tony Stark is out there, ending with it.

Summary
Peter tries not to stare at the black eye patch. He focuses on Fury's heartbeat instead, slow and steady, not giving anything away. Still, Peter can tell the man isn't buying that he's ignorant about who he is.
"I have a mission for you, Spider Man."
Peter's own heart rate picks up a little. Tony has always told him to be wary of SHIELD. "A mission?"
"Save Tony Stark."
Peter's heart starts to pound so hard it hurts. He grimaces, realizing that his dad hasn't been truthful with him. "He isn't away on a really long business trip, is he."
"No," Fury says, sounding displeased, "he's not."
OR
Tony is being blackmailed into living side by side with the man that nearly killed him in a cave in Siberia, and he's not doing well. Bruce is doing his best to help his friend, and Fury sends Peter in to keep Tony sane long enough to figure out who is blackmailing him so he can get him out. **Story is complete, and 2-3 chapters per week will be posted until it's all up.**

Mugs Are A Problem (I Do What I Want) by JAWorley
Fandoms: Iron Man (Movies), Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Avengers (Marvel Movies)
30 Jan 2024
Tags
Summary
It’s not usually a problem. Tony doesn’t usually have to work so hard to hide it because Pepper, Happy, and Rhodey know. He can be himself around them. Right after the compound had been built, Tony had been worried about moving in with the Avengers full time… worried they’d notice his tics and figure out his secret. Then Germany had happened and the team had split up before they could fully move into the compound. Tony had had two years where he hadn’t needed to worry about it. Now that the Rogues are back and are living in the tower full time, it’s on his mind again and stressing him out. The problem? Coffee mugs. Well… coffee mugs, and other things and the fact that when he’s stressed out, the tics get worse. But mainly coffee mugs. Coffee mugs are the bane of his existence.
OR
Tony has Tourette Syndrome and he doesn’t want the Avengers (or Peter) to find out about it. The newly returned Avengers think Tony is just being a jerk when he knocks things off of tables and counters, because they think he’s doing it on purpose. Despite the angsty summary, this is all about the team coming back together and Tony learning that the people in his life can’t accept him as he is until given the chance to know him as he is.Series

Summary
Tony’s life was fantastic, ok well sometimes it was.
But it was great at times for example he’s got a cool new team (who hate him and he’s also hate fucking one of them) but that’s ok they got his back.
He still got his mom (who is slowly getting worse with her health) but that least she still alive.
He’s got an amazing son (but the world doesn’t know and he want to keep it that way)
So see everything is fine he’s great even there’s nothing that can go wrong.... right?

Summary
"YOU'RE the dom?"
"Yeah," Steve says. He juts his chin out. "I'm the dom."
Stark laughs derisively, eyes scanning Steve's body up and down. "Are you sure you aren't more of a sub?"
"What the hell is your problem?" Bucky snaps, stepping forward so that he's standing next to Steve. "Steve's a dominant, same as you. So back off."Bucky Barnes doesn't like Tony Stark, not after what Stark had said to Steve during Project: Rebirth. So he's not exactly pleased when he's assigned to Stark's humvee during a standard SI weapons demonstration in Afghanistan. However, when the Ten Rings captures them and orders Stark to design a deadly biological weapon, Bucky begins to realize that Stark is hiding secrets he never would have expected.

Summary
AKA the 6 times Tony doesn't tell the Avengers he's autistic, +1 he does.
---
"They started noticing a couple of weeks in. Tony couldn’t really say he was surprised. He was pretty good at masking, maybe even one of the best because very few people had to mask so consistently, in front of most of the world. And no one had ever suspected. But there was only so long you could keep that up before your body and mind gave in, and Tony had always used the Tower as his decompression space. It was absurdly unrealistic to think he could go months without relaxing properly. It didn’t make it any less humiliating every time he slipped up."
---
Nothing and no one can convince me that Tony Stark isn't autistic, and I'm here to make that EVERYONE'S problem.

Summary
Despite his best efforts Tony Stark can't seem to get the newly formed Avengers to like him. This is not helped when he runs into a living ghost of his past at a gala with all his new teammates in attendance.
Of all the times to have to interact with Sunset Bain, this is pretty far down his list, with the top spot being 'never'.

Summary
tony stark is rich and popular and an arrogant asshole. in other words: his iq rivals einstein's, he's slept with most of his "friends" at least once, and he's so fucking lonely that sometimes he wakes up in the middle of the night and cries into the cold sheets on the empty side of the bed.
it's no different at SHIELD boarding school, at first. half the student body hates him, half want to be him, nothing new. that is, until tony accidentally breaks james barnes's prosthetic arm, and he suddenly finds the most vulnerable pieces of himself surfacing whether he wants them to or not.
*ON HIATUS FOR UNDETERMINED AMOUNT OF TIME*

Summary
All his life, Tony hid behind a fortress of lies and deceptions, walls and masks. Masks made of concealer and heavy sweaters to make sure the blood seeping out from his bandages, as a result of his lashings, don't show. His masks have been tried and tested, proving to hold up strong.
So when the people at his new high school, Shield High, start seeing through them, he's not sure what to think, as they know how broken and fucking lonely he is.
And as the most vulnerable parts of him start showing, he's not sure he wants to hide anymore.
