The world keeps pushing him, demanding, because what he did wasn't enough. Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, but that wasn't enough, wasn't ever enough. Tony Stark was tired. But he had a planet to protect, even if everyone laughed at him whenever the prospect of alien invasions was brought up. He could count on one hand how many people he could trust, which was disheartening but then, what else was new? Or, In which Tony does not, in fact, intend to take over the world. ...unfortunately, everyone else missed that particular memo. [gradual divergence from canon, starting at the end of Iron Man 3. In which it's Tony's self-awareness, rather than his support system, that becomes a cryptid sometime during Phase II.]

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.

Tony knew better than to play with alien toys. He really did. But there was just something so tempting about other-worldly objects. It turned out that he wasn't the only Tony Stark that felt that way. One explosion later, there's a brand new Tony in town. But there's something not quite right about this Tony and how he reacts to the team, the way he flinches away from Bucky or shakes when Steve picks up the shield or won't turn his back to Clint and Natasha. It turns out that not every Tony Stark is as lucky as Tony, but damned if Tony, Steve and Bucky aren't going to fix that. (or, the one where canon MCU Tony gets thrown into a fanon world and gets ALL THE LOVE from the fanon version of the team)

Peter is officially an adult. Which means he's allowed to do whatever he wants. That includes existing online under his real name. Poor Tony is about to find out how his PR team feels like when they have to deal with him.

Summary: Peter is Tony Starks missing son. Peter doesn't realize this until he and his Aunt May see age progressions of the billionaire's missing son on TV. Age progressions that look just like him.

Tony and Pepper's son, Peter, had been missing for many years. Kidnapped in the middle of the night, no ransom, no clues as to where he went. They had always imagined being reunited with their son, him running into their arms, picking him up from the police station, a raid on a house where he was being kept. Little did they know they would meet their son after he had sunk into a coma after an attack of gun violence, DNA identifying him to his true heritage. Now the parents have to learn about their son from those who know him, an Aunt and Uncle and some best friends they cant seem to shake off all while waiting for him to wake. If he wakes...
