tony-centric

A betrayed Tony Stark leaves the Avengers. He's angry and bitter but he's not about to stop being a hero. The problem is that not everyone is happy with his decision.

In death, there was no glory, no redemption, no salvation. Only darkness and ice—or that was what Tony thought. He closed his eyes in a Siberian bunker and opened them again on his 41st birthday, with War Machine flying into the distance.

Tony Stark had lost his son when he was only 2 years old, stolen away in broad daylight with nobody the wiser of what exactly happened. Years later, Tony has just made it through the disaster with Ultron. He is trying to keep himself and the team together but relationships are strained and tempers are running high.Then a random turn of events leads to his path crossing with that of a particular vigilante. They are strangers to each other, or so they think. Peter Parker is on top of the world. After a few shitty years, losing his parents and then losing his Uncle, things are finally looking up. Sure he lives in a crappy little apartment with his Aunt but he might have just found his mission in life. ------ This is an AU story obvious by some of the tags. I'm starting out a few weeks after Age of Ultron took place. Civil War will be a thing.

The bridges are burning, the heat's on my faceMaking the past an unreachable placePouring the fuel, fanning the flamesI know, this is the point of no return Bruce was right... they were just a chemical mixture. A bomb set to explode. Tony sat in the wake of it all... No he still had a promise to fulfill... his life wouldn’t be put to waste. Watch out world Tony ‘Fucking’ Stark is back... Iron Man Lives Again Note: On a Hiatus.

Tony is getting tired of cleaning up the messes the other Avengers keep dumping in his lap, expecting him to deal with it all. They say change is healthy, but Tony wants to vehemently disagree when he finds himself alone and gravely injured in an abandoned bunker in one of the coldest places on Earth. My first MCU story 😏*Chapter 1 posted Dec. 6/18 *Comments moderated.

This fic is set Five Years after the events of Civil War.--------- The New Avengers, headed by Tony Stark, have finally established themselves in the world, working closely alongside the UN to maintain public trust. The team has managed to create a close-knit bond, working together to forget the past. However, when Thanos comes to threaten the earth, the Avengers will be forced to face some old ghosts when Steve Rogers and his team of renegades are called in to work with Tony's team. The two teams will be forced to face their pasts to work together to save Earth.

Dread it. Run from it. Destiny still arrives. Tony and Stephen spent the past four years preparing for the arrival of the Mad Titan. They both knew what it was like to have nothing. Now they had a team, a mentee, and each other. But the more they had, the more they had to lose.

"Tony you shouldn't be working yourself up right now, this isn't the best time-" Sam says, trying to soothe but Tony isn't having it, he feels the snarl conquer his face. "No? No this is the best time!" Tony screams out, voice already hoarse, vocal cords already straining, "No more explanations or 'But Tony you don't understand'." He twists violently to glare at Steve, a fist by his side and a finger pointing dangerously close to the super soldier's chest, "You, oh you arrogant piece of shit, you were going to sign the Accords!" At that Sam pulls back, his gaze traveling to Steve and his brows furrowing, Bucky's as well. "I told you amendments were more than possible, and, and I delivered! I told you Bucky would be transferred to an American psych ward for therapy, to get help! I offered to legalize everything you did to get Bucky, both you and Sam!" Sam takes a step back, a gruff noise escaping his throat. Steve won't look at him, he can't rip his gaze away from Tony.

“Never thought I’d come after another mouthy Terran,” Yondu grins, crooked teeth unabashedly bared and seemingly unconcerned, “but my boy … well he deserves the best. Figured I’d make up for threatenin’ to eat him all those years. Might stop him from being so pissy all the time.” “That’s real sweet and all,” Toni cuts in sharply as understanding dawns on her, “but I doubt he’s my type. And it’s not the blue thing either, because that could be hot. It’s more along the lines of the whole I’m not leaving with you thing.” “Well see, that’s where you’re wrong,” Yondu smirks and abruptly whistles. Toni’s startled for a split second by the arrow that darts towards her from where it had been sheathed at his waist. The fin on his head glows a threatening red.

...and the one time he didn't have to.

Tony Stark could never have imagined fatherhood would be this stressful—oh right, he had, which is why he never had kids—but then along came a spider. Peter Parker is your average dorky kid; he attends high school, plays video games with his friend, tries to get his homework in on time, and—oh right—swings through the city, dodging bullets and roping up bad guys in his spare time. Life can get pretty complicated while trying to live two separate lives, especially when one draws a lot of attention, and not always the good kind.

The Mechanic has a lot on his plate; Thanos is coming, the Guardians of the Galaxy are marooned, Thaddeus Ross is reaching right down his throat, and a budding super hero deserves his full attention. He's also dying. No big deal. He can fix it. He can fix anything. And he can do it all without even opening that stupid phone. Now, where did those notes on Extremis go...? (03/30/21: I'm working on completing this fic. I apologize for my extended departure, but I will be finishing this, cross my heart. I love you all 3000)

Tony was left alone in a bunker in Siberia, and it was only a matter of hours before Death came for him. Just... not in the way he expected. When offered a chance to become a part of something bigger and better than the Avengers could have ever been, he jumps at the chance. With the backing of his new family, new teammates, and old friends, Tony will rise to face the threat that drew the Master of Death's attention to his home world to begin with. And if they get into hijinks along the way... Even better.

When Steve brings down the shield, and it looks like it’s coming towards his exposed throat, Tony hates the fact that he’s grateful.

When Tony tried to urge the homeless guy sleeping on the steps of the Tower’s loading dock to move, he never expected that he'd found Hydra’s pet assassin—James "Bucky" Barnes. Now, after months of keeping his presence a secret from the Avengers and helping Barnes learn to cope with both his returning memories and the modern world, Hydra is back for their favorite toy and Tony must call in old friends to save the life of the man he just might have come to care for a little too much.

In 2017 the Earth is about to end. In 1987 Howard Stark might have the answer. The solution seems simple, except Tony has the worst of luck, and he might just be stuck. In which Tony hates magic, time travel, babysitting amnesiac assassins and being seventeen.

IRON MAN HAS A SON The words were printed everywhere on every newspaper. Tony Stark, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, had a son. A child. A real life human being that he’d kept from the media for eight years but had slipped up and shown to the whole world. OR Peter Parker is Tony Stark's son, and Tony is determined to raise him right.

5 times the Ex-vengers were confronted by Tony's new life, plus 1 time they understood what it meant.

After the Civil War someone asks Tony for his help in bringing back Steve and crew, 'america's heroes'. Tony is having absolutely none of that nonsense.

Initially, Tony is wary of having the team around more or less twenty-four-seven despite the half dozen floors between his penthouse and the guest levels. As it turns out, however, even the Avengers only see what they want to see. Or they see but they don’t observe. Whatever. The important bit is that Tony’s secret is safe.

Clint knows several facts to be true:1. He will always look out for those who are his.2. Steve loves Tony.3. Tony loves Steve.4. Tony is a civilian.5. Iron Man is a villain. But just because something is true does not mean it is the whole truth, the complete truth and nothing but the truth.He doesn't know that yet.

When Tony goes to the bar one lonely Christmas Eve Night, he did so to avoid his empty apartment. A week later, he went back for the same reason. There, a handsome stranger tucked away in the corner draws his attention, and the attraction between the two is undeniable. As new possibilities arise, Tony will be faced with some difficult decisions. Jack has just been transferred to DC permanently, and he’s not too thrilled with his new situation he’s found himself in. When he catches the handsome younger man eyeing him at the bar, he finds something that might make his new local a bit less tedious. And, well, he’d never been good at denying himself something he wanted. If the brass wants him in DC, they’ll get him in DC. *Cover art by Red_Pink_Dots*

Tony's held a great secret since Afghanistan and he intends to keep it till the day he dies but it gets increasingly harder when your forced to live with spies and super soldiers. Especially with Natasha popping out of practically no where asking dozens of questions about his Three YEARS in the Ten Rings clutches.

Tony hasn't been the same since Bucky arrived at Stark Tower. That much is obvious. But Steve is overjoyed to have his best friend back and is somewhat oblivious to how Tony is withdrawing away from him. Because surely Tony is just overworked as usual. He must be quiet and jumpy because he is sleep deprived. And of course he has a few cuts and bruises on the visible parts of his skin - he fights and works for the Avengers as a living. It's part of the job description. Until it isn't. Will Steve discover the physical and mental trauma that Tony is going through before it is too late?

Tony is no one's number one. And he is okay with that.He and Steve are dating and everything is going great. Until Bucky returns... Will Steve have to choose between his two loves? Or will Tony make the choice for him?

After the Civil War, Tony is trapped in his abusive relationship with Steve and is desperate to find escape. His team hates him, and is blind to Steve's abuse. So when he finds refuge in Gotham with an old friend, he learns that he is very much worth loving, and the Waynes will fight to prove it.

Tony Stark is a mutant who can control and feel emotion. Tony Stark will not let anyone except Charles know - until now. COMPLETE.

Another foster home. That's all Tony saw this as. He didn't think kids got to go to back into fostering after group homes. But here he was, walking up the steps to another weird family with three other weird kids. So, no, he doesn't see anything coming out of this. They'll ship him off in four to five months just like all the others. They'll get annoyed and find him too wound-up even if he tries really hard not to be, just like all the others. They'll call him stupid, too, just like all the others. He's sure if it. And then these people do the craziest thing and... don't. Now complete!!!

After the New York attack, Odin has taken Loki’s magic, made him mortal and imprisoned him. But Asgard is not a safe place for the Trickster under these conditions. Recent events make Odin decide to take away one more thing from his second son, his memory going back for the last four years. This decision and events that lead to it cause Frigga to decide that Asgard is not safe for Loki’s reduced station. From stories Thor had told, she decides that Tony Stark’s tower would make an excellent secure location for amnesiac Loki to be under house arrest. COMPLETE Sequel Anthony of Asgard Just a heads up, the final sequel, Stark InterGalactic is currently posting.Stark InterGalactic Link

Steve is looming over him, using the shield to crush into his chest, into the arc reactor, into him. Tony coughs up blood, the syrupy thick texture of it making him gag behind the suit. His vision is beginning to black out at the edges, and he curls his body protectively over his stomach, already knowing it's too late.

There's a reason why Tony Stark is hidden in his labs, and it isn't because there's a former brainwashed, ex-assassin upstairs, though he's okay with everyone thinking that. He's okay with everyone thinking that he hates James Barnes, though that's furthest thing from the truth. It isn't because he's a teenager girl, whose in love with both Barnes and Rogers. Because he isn't!! He's a grown ass man, and he can control himself. He knows he can. It won’t work anyhow. He doesn’t want to be a second choice. Can’t be, and he doesn’t want to be second—well, that’s given in any field as he’s a Stark, but he doesn’t want that in a relationship. He doesn’t want someone to ‘settle’ for him. He wants to be the one and only, and he can’t be that with Rogers or Barnes. They will always pick the other, and Tony isn’t a fool. He isn’t going to lie to himself and say it’s any different. Or So he thinks.

Tony Stark has been known for many things, but stupid is not one of them.He's honestly unsure if he should feel insulted, and not just for himself. Seriously? How did he even get into this situation?... Not that he's complaining. There is a real-life MYTH standing in front of him! How can he not sate his curiosity?

Tony Stark knew who his soulmates were since he was 4, the Red Silver and Blue Shield cruelly marked on him. It was one of the few things that Howard Stark couldn’t touch or change, so Howard made his marks in other ways. It wasn’t like Steve or Bucky would ever know, they were dead. Tony had been dealt the worst hand fate could think up, someone somewhere obviously hated him. He had two soulmates who’d been dead for 25 years before his birth. A father who was in the running for worst parent of the century. The names of two men he couldn't help but love, but Howard made sure he was reminded at every turn that he was worthless, Captain Rogers and Sergeant Barnes would've never spared him a 2nd glance. By the time he was 12 Tony was glad Steve and Bucky were dead, they were better off having never known him, he'd have only disappointed them. He'd given up the fantasy of having a true or real romantic relationship long ago, hidden behind the mask he played into the media, they were going to say what they wanted about him, he'd learned to not care. Until Captain Rogers showed up, he didn't care; he couldn't. So why did it hurt so much "Big man in a suit of armor. Take that off what are you?"

One phone call from Pepper Potts to Phil Coulson, and one seemingly misguided act of magical penance on Loki's part alters the course of events in Iron Man 3. Already in the midst of a breakdown after the Battle of New York, Tony is de-aged, and the Avengers are faced with a choice: assemble themselves into a makeshift family, or risk losing Iron Man (and Tony).

Tony Stark is tired of everyone's bullshit.
