In 1867, Tony Stark flees New York after refusing to marry the alpha his parents chose for him. His money runs out in the small kingdom of Dacia, ruled over by King Steven of the Rogers line. Somehow, and he’s not entirely sure how, he ends up accepting the position of nanny to the king’s four children: Harley, Peter, Sarah, and Morgan.
Tony bonds with the children easily but their father is harder to get to know. Steve is still grieving his wife’s death four years earlier. His continued mourning has turned the once bright halls into dark and somber shadows of their former glory. Tony isn’t entirely certain what he can do but he knows that he has to do something or else the whole country, so attuned to their leader, will sink into despair. He begins by reconciling the king with his young children.
Meanwhile, the children have decided that it’s high time their father fall in love again—and Tony is the obvious choice. They concoct elaborate plans to force the two together, hardly realizing that Steve and Tony are falling in love, not through their shenanigans but through the quiet moments they share bonding over the love they have for the children.

But then he meets soldier/archeologist Steve and falls in love with blue eyes and a perfect smile. Just as they are ready to move forward together, Steve leaves abruptly with no explanation and breaks Tonys heart.
Ten years later, Tony stumbles across the file for the old dig site. He's determined to visit and shut it down, but discovers that instead of a village, the dig has unconvered a temple and actually needs MORE money to stay open. A security team is hired to protect the staff and the artifacts they find, and Tony comes face to face with Steve Rogers all over again– except Steve is bearded and BIGGER and way more dangerous than he used to be...And Tony likes it.
When the camp is attacked, Steve jumps into action, snatching Tony and running into the jungle to escape and work their way towards safety.
But long days and nights together bring back old feelings, and one day Steve takes a risk and asks Tony to give them another chance.
Will Tony say yes? Or is his heart buried too far for the soldier-turned- archaeologist-turned-mercenary to find it?

Tony was pretty used to crashing.
It seemed like these days more often than not his return to earth in the Iron Man suit was at least somewhat out of control. He couldn't count the number of times he'd used a helpfully situated building, a local landmark, or, hey, even a teammate to slow a wild descent. And he'd be damned if he'd admit it to Pepper, but on more than one occasion he hadn't even been conscious when he'd hit the ground.
So crashing wasn't really a new experience. He would get banged up a bit, maybe put a scratch in the suit somewhere, but bruised ribs healed and there was no better way to work off the post-battle high than smoothing dents out of his most prized possession.
He had a feeling crashing in the Quinjet, without his armour, was going to be a bit different.

There were days when the realization that he was someone’s father made Steve's head hurt.

Yes, he still had lingering, unresolved issues from his time in the Army, and sure, he had what Bucky annoyingly referred to as a criminally untapped ass and no life outside of work and Peter, but Steve was okay with how his life had turned out because of trusting his instincts.
Unfortunately, those same instincts had straight up betrayed him by going absolutely haywire upon being exposed to Tony Stark.

He wants to do some Iron Man-ing solo because teamwork can go screw itself in the bush. Plus, the government and engineers-cum-terrorists are slobbering all over his armour tech.
And that's just the appetizers.
He'll probably be too dead to get to desserts, to be honest. Which is a shame, because he's only beginning to know Steve Rogers.

When Tony Stark's fiancée breaks up with him on Christmas Eve to take up a new life on her family's ranch, he isn't expecting to have to spend the holiday snowed in at a small regional airport in the middle of Montana - or that he'll spend it with Steve Rogers. He isn't expecting Steve to be funny and charming and really everything that his fiancée wasn't. He isn't expecting to spend the night questioning how soon is too soon to move on from a breakup.
Steve Rogers is nursing a heartbreak of his own after his longtime girlfriend reconnects with her high school boyfriend. Tony feels like a whirlwind in the best kind of way, but Steve isn't so sure that he should be allowed to move on so quickly from Bernie, no matter how quickly she moved on from him.
But after spending one night trapped together, Steve and Tony discover that Christmas magic isn't just for their partners - and sometimes, the person you've been waiting for is the one you would least expect.

There might’ve been a time when Tony longed to be on a team. To join in the sort of easy camaraderie he now witnessed whenever the coffee on his own floor had run out. To know there was a group of people who had his six, on the battlefield and off, but he's pretty sure the Avengers aren't that group.
After the battle of New York the Avengers take up residence in the tower, but Tony tries his hardest to avoid them. They all made it clear enough they don't want anything from him other than to bankroll their outfit. And that's fine. More than fine. Absolutely perfect. If only Steve Rogers would play along and leave him the hell alone.
Because Steve doesn't know he's being pulled by fate, and that the last person Tony wants to disappoint is his soulmate. So better hide and deflect than let him get close. Right?

There was something about abandoned buildings and the way nature was slowly reclaiming them as its own which had long captivated Steve. The beauty of the former grandeur undiminished, merely transformed. There was an atmosphere to them, a lingering sense of the lives lived or the jobs worked within their walls which made him feel oh-so small and yet so alive all at once. No two were ever the same, and he loved discovering little clues that told the story of the people who once called it home or made their living there.
There was something comforting about seeing the imprints of humans long gone; no matter who you were, there was a part of you, of what you made, of who you were that left its mark upon the world.
Over the years, he’d been to a lot of abandoned houses, factories, mansions and they’d all left an impression on him in some way or another. But none as much as the Mermaid House.

It was every cliché he’d ever heard about. Every sappy thing they wrote down in the magazines, every single thing he had always hated about the myth. It was as though he had experienced life without sight, and was suddenly bombarded by a storm of color. It was all-consuming, and rushing through his veins like molten lava, like his whole existence was suddenly filled with sunlight. A door opened, and a myriad of emotions stormed through his body: confusion, disbelief, loneliness, and so much fierce determination that it almost knocked Tony off his feet. And he understood then, understood that these emotions weren’t his. They were Rogers’.
This is a story about fate, self-doubt, choice and eventually—love.

When the mysterious group of vigilante assassins known only as 'The Avengers' are tipped off about the dirty secrets that lie within Stark Industries, Steve Rogers has his heart set on taking out Tony Stark for good in order to protect the rest of the world from his evil. He's seen the footage, after all- Stark is a man who fights only for himself. And of course, when a job arises as chief bodyguard for Stark, to protect him from the growing threat of an ominously infatuated stalker, the opportunity is way too good for him to miss out on. It's the perfect placement, and the perfect way to find out whether or not their tipoff is genuine.
But as Steve falls into rank as the new bodyguard for Mr. Stark and he spends time getting to know and protect him, his initial hatred begins to falter and merge into something different, something far more terrifying than the prospect of killing the face of Stark Industries.
Steve Rogers may just be falling in love with him instead.

Tony Stark has never liked Christmas and this year while he’s still reeling from a publicly humiliating break up, he doesn’t want anything to do with the holiday. He books a remote cabin in a tiny town as a post-break up retreat and plans to hide away until New Years.
Steve Rogers loves everything about Christmas, from the trees he sells on his farm to the parade where he gets to play Ol’ Saint Nick, and when Tony comes to town Grinchy and cranky and sad, Steve turns his attention towards finding any possible reason to make the gorgeous newcomer smile.
Steve’s goofy flirting is first met with sarcasm and exasperation, but as the days count down towards Christmas, Steve’s easy charm and lingering kisses have Tony warming to the idea of a burly lumberjack to keep him cozy on the cold nights.
Tis the season for apple cider and mistletoe, but is Steve’s adoration enough to change Tony’s mind about the holidays? Or will the chance to reconcile with his ex take Tony back to the city and away from the promise of romance and a small town Christmas?

Tony opens his mouth to argue that that’s not how this works, but he snaps it shut at the realization that Steven Grant Rogers is fucking with him. That twinkle in his eye has accelerated into a full-on glimmer, and the ends of his lips are twitching. Jesus, he hates this man. Or maybe he wishes he did. Tony can’t really tell the difference anymore.

What he is now is still up for debate, but it doesn't look like he's going to have much time to figure it out. With a computer in his head screwing up and a country falling to pieces, options are getting limited. SteveThe world needs Iron Man a lot more than it needs Tony Stark.

Steve/Tony

If someone had told Steven Grant Rogers that one day he would fall for a mouthy super-genius, billionaire who flew an armored suit to fight evil-he might have had a few choice words for them. That doesn't change the fact that it's true. He can't really pinpoint the moment it all solidified for him. Maybe it was before they fractured and came back together, maybe it was while watching Tony punch a dinosaur while wearing obsidian armor-maybe it's always been there just waiting for him to show up looking like that, and talking like that, and smirking in that way of his that makes Steve's stomach swoop.
Tony is everything he's ever wanted, and everything he never knew he wanted all in one fascinating and sometimes infuriating package. He loves him, he wants him, and it all seems doomed because for all Tony flirts, he seems utterly unable to understand that when Steve flirts back it's in the utmost sincerity. Steve knows Tony is interested, he just can't seem to convince him that the interest is returned and then some.

If it hadn't been for the stupid fucking toad, Tony wouldn't be dying of boredom now. And he wouldn't have to put up with surveillance state Steve. It was just a broken arm, for fuck's sake!
In which Tony gets hurt and finds himself with way too much time and a very worried Steve. Who he might be falling for. Fast. But that's stupid because he's Tony Stark, a man with enough issues to make a seasoned therapist weep, and Steve is Captain America and pretty much perfect and it's never gonna work out anyway. Right?

"The gunshot wound had been too infected, in between the lack of care and the blood loss there was no choice but to amputate the leg from above the knee and down."
Tony's captivity had changed everything about him, he gained and lost valuable things, and led him to be Iron Man. He's perfectly okay with his secrets to remain secrets, but he didn't expect his team to actually care. Also, unconsciously falling in love with Captain America was definitely not part of the plan.

After Siberia, expectations of Tony feel higher than ever: he’s heading the Avengers; working to revise the Accords; trying to do right by the teenagers who for some reason look up to him; plus the usual work for Stark Industries. He doesn’t really have time to deal with what’s left of his friendship with Steve, let alone figure out his own shit. (He ends up doing a lot of that anyway.)

After Afghanistan and Iron Man, SHIELD gave Tony a choice. He could out himself as Iron Man, or claim it was a bodyguard, and hide his face from the world.
Agent Agent never said anything, but Tony had hacked SHIELD's servers and knew they wanted him to go the bodyguard route. Yes to Iron Man and no to Tony Stark, and all that.
That, as well as keeping Pepper safe, made him go with the bodyguard cover, and flimsy as he thought it was, no one questioned it.
Of course, why would they? Tony Stark was no superhero.

Steve quickly found his seat once he got on the plane and reached up to put his carry-on in the overhead bin. He was one of the last people to get on the plane, and he noticed the seat next to him was empty. This flight was definitely looking up. As he was about to take his seat though, he heard a vaguely familiar voice next to him.
“Excuse me? I’m so sorry to bother you with this, but would you mind helping me get my carry-on up there? The angle is just awkward from here, and you have a definite height advantage which’ll make things go a bit faster. Plus, I may have over packed a bit, and it weighs a ton, which I’m sorry in advance for, but judging by the size of your biceps and shoulders – not that I was staring or anything, but you look like you work out, yeah? – you will handle it in a much better fashion than I could.”

Captain America and Iron Man had gotten off on the wrong foot - there was no question about that. Maybe it was because Tony Stark had grown up knowing, thanks to Howard, that Captain America would despise everything about him. Or maybe it was because Steve Rogers had no idea how to handle the world he had woken up in, and the man in the Iron Man armor was a dazzling display of everything the 'future' had to offer.
No matter the reason, things had not gone well during that initial meeting.
Tony was fine with that, honest. There was absolutely no pouting on his part because Cap didn't want to be his friend. He wasn't even that upset about the way Cap could hardly stand to look at him. It was fine. Completely. His feelings weren't hurt even a little.
Steve hasn't been able to look away from Tony since they met. Once his initial fumbling was over and he came to terms with the fact that he'd survived the crash after all... well. He'd fallen fast and hard for the flashy inventor. He just doesn't know how to get the idiot to understand that.

Overworked, overwrought, and overachieving; life was never changing. Just a cycle of school, work, sleep, work school again. The same way he's always been. Tony doesn't know any different, doesn't know any better. That is, until a group of ragtag, obnoxious, overbearing misfits take over his life.
It's got all the ingredients of a teen comedy. Only, things never work out the way they do in the movies. But that's what makes life fun.

It was supposed to have been a simple gathering, just a little something to celebrate the Fourth of July. And who better to give a celebratory speech than Captain America, the epitome of all things American? Steve hadn’t particularly wanted to participate, and would’ve been just as happy celebrating in the relatively privacy of the Avengers Tower, but Fury hadn’t really given him much of a choice. His only consolation was that Tony had agreed to accompany him up on stage.

They'd have to be some sort of Superhuman to do that.
And what's worse than a Superhuman hearing that quick pulse and seeing those dilated eyes and concluding that you're in love with them?
