  2. Summary

    Tony has been dealing with heart problems in some shape or form for a long time now, and it never crossed his mind that it would render him unfit for duty. After all, the suit was there. However, the combination of worsening heart function and PTSD was rapidly taking Tony to the edge of what he could compensate for with his technology. Tony tried to avoid any potential triggers. It became increasingly difficult as even the lightest reminder of his past traumas was sufficient to set him off. He had become irritable and prone to angry outbursts. Jarvis and Dummy had felt the brunt of it on account of the fact that he spent most of the time in his lab, isolating himself from the world. He felt depression slowly creeping in. He hadn't felt so low since he'd been convinced that he was going to die from palladium poisoning.

    This series explores in detail Tony's struggles with worsening heart condition and PTSD. He tries to cope alone but eventually is forced to accept help. Sometimes from unexpected sources.

    Summary

    Tony couldn’t honestly remember how long it had been like this. Probably since the day he’d called T’Challa and offered his help. At first it had just been compulsive self-denial: you can’t eat until you’ve drafted your opening remarks, until you’ve finished your research, until you’ve rewritten every last colon and comma and apostrophe in those Accords so that everyone can come home.

    Those goals had been realistic. Lately, they’d become impossible. Until everyone forgives you. Until you forgive yourself. Until you make up for every bad thing you’ve ever caused.

    He was fine. He was coasting in a dangerous place, but he was fine. He wasn't taking it too far - just far enough.

    Summary

    After Tony collapses right in front of Steve after two days straight of working and fighting, Peter tells Steve that he's kind of a jerk. That's surprising to hear coming from the normally sweet kid that works with Tony in the lab, but also completely disconcerting, because what comes along with that statement is a disappointed look and tone. "He's not superhuman you know. What I want to know is why you seem to want to take good care of everyone else, even people not on your team, but not him. It's like he's the only person on the planet you don't care about."

    Steve can't say that Peter is wrong. He messed up, and now he needs to fix it, for Tony, and for the team.

    OR

    Steve realizes some things about Tony that he hadn't before. Steve's POV, minor angst, minor fluff, and team as family. Steve is not a bad guy in this fic.

    Summary

    Tony remembers the hard way that Bruce doesn’t like losing control, and that goes double for bedroom affairs. He sinks the main event, but he can still salvage the after-party. There’s just one stumbling block: panic attacks tend to make Bruce big, green, and moody.

    Summary

    Turns out you do get more than one shot at a family. But Tony's not sure he's doing so well at it this time around either.


    Every day it’s the same. A routine, his therapists call it.

    It’s supposed to be good for him.

    Summary

    Tony and Rhodey's first year of college goes pretty much as well as anybody's does.


    "I'm drunk, I dunno what I'm saying."

    James lobs his handful of stones across the road, jaw clenched.

    "Something you've been sitting on for a while, apparently."
