Howard makes him want to run and never stop running, but Steve is the first person who's made him, even a tiny part of him, want to stay. And he knows that won't end well, not for anyone

"Night Tony," Steve says, that same soft, sweet smile on his face, and Tony wonders if maybe Steve Rogers is not such a bad thing after all.

-

or: when 18 year old tony stark meets the barista with the very blue eyes, and realises that maybe hiding isn’t the only answer.

“So. Sitrep," Tony said aloud, mainly to keep himself sane. "I'm stuck in a cave with no way to communicate to the outside world that I'm alive, and there's at least a couple of hundred feet of rock between me and help. The way I came in is definitely blocked, and I'm sporting the most spectacular compound fracture which will no doubt make moving around a bit – interesting. Plan of action... Trying to get out on my own might be a challenge.”

Or, cave rescue, Avengers style. Takes place at some non-specific point in time after Iron Man 3 and before Age of Ultron. Established Steve/Tony, though it's mostly in the background.

So today Steve was annoyed at him about the mission. Of course. It's not like Tony wanted to worry him though. It was just that he wanted to help. The Avengers have a long hall flight from Malaysia to the US. It might just be the perfect time for Steve and Tony to work out exactly what is going on after the whole Ultron incident and discuss this unspoken thing between them. And hey, maybe someone could get Tony some Tylenol too. And a hospital actually.

“Mr. Stark? I, uh, I'm still not entirely sure how to do this, but the gentleman told me to leave a message, so I guess...” A sigh rattled over the phone line. “Look, Tony, I'm going to level with you – they told me I had one phone call, and you... you're the first person that popped into my head. So, yeah, I, uh... I've sort of been arrested, and I know we don't always see eye to eye, but I – if it's not too much trouble, that is – could really use some help, if you... you know what? It doesn't matter. Sorry for bothering you, Mr. Stark.”

A reworking of IM3.

After Tony ends up severely injured from a surprise attack, triggering a flashback and putting him in the hospital for emergency surgery, the Avengers come together in worry for their friend and teammate and are disquieted by the intensity of Tony’s reaction. Between the flashback and the sedatives, Tony’s mind revisits key moments in his life while the team bands together in support of each other and their injured friend, letting SHIELD handle Tony’s attacker, they remain where they are needed, even if Tony isn’t awake to truly realize this. And through it all, Steve makes a decision that will change things with Tony.

Set after the events of Captain America: Civil War, Tony and Steve have been broken and torn apart by the Accords and the choices they've made. But those that are meant to have a way of making their way back to each other especially since it won't just be the two of them any longer.

Tony got used to not breathing after Afghanistan. He remembered the agony of it, the black spots in his vision as the world went out of focus, cut through with angry red spikes of pain. He never thought he'd have to do it again.

But if it was to keep Steve safe, well. There was little Tony wouldn't do. Even if it involved coughing up flowers.

There were days when the realization that he was someone’s father made Steve's head hurt. Mostly he was grateful that he could trust his instincts, because Peter was what had been missing from his life. 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.

Veteran single dad Steve runs a tattoo shop. For his 40th birthday, Pepper arranges for Tony to get that tattoo he always wanted, and he winds up with the mother of all crushes instead. Jumping out of airplanes is one thing, but falling in love is something else entirely. Steve struggles with the idea of actually letting someone into his life. Tony is left trying to keep his heart from being broken while Steve figures things out.

New York City is still rebuilding in the wake of the Chitauri army when the biotech virus Extremis is released, upgrading a lone domestic terrorist into a posthuman threat. Tony would’ve been happy to keep going on playing with alien tech in his lab, saving average citizens as Iron Man, and pretending not to notice these other people moving into his tower, but sometimes a person just can’t have nice things.

The point was this, though:

In a hundred million universes, in a hundred million different lives, there would never be a single one of them in which Tony Stark deserved anyone like Steve Rogers. Ever.

So this? Nonsensical.

Steve is resigned to being alone; he's not exactly anyone's ideal alpha, but he doesn't mind. He has a job he believes in, an apartment he loves, and a comfortable routine. That is, until the smells from his cooking draw a hungry, extremely pregnant omega to his door, and he finds himself falling in love. But Tony belongs to someone else, and no amount of ginger can change that.

Steve doesn't understand why Tony dates people who abuse him. Tony doesn't understand why Steve cares.

Tony Stark is twenty, a genius, and a train wreck. When another one of his crazy rendezvous end up dropping Stark Industries stock points, his CEO Pepper decides something needs to be done, and hires an escort to play fake boyfriend to add some stability to his name and reputation.

Steve Rogers came home from Afghanistan a year ago, and is just looking for a quiet part-time job while waiting for college acceptance letters. When his friend Natasha asks him to take on a job for her security company, he figures, how hard could it be?

Tony is still a consultant, and between SI, the team and SHIELD he's overworked and exhausted. That's okay.

He and Steve have been having sex for weeks but that's all it is, just sex, and Tony wants more but he'll never get it and that's okay. Really.

What's not okay is the fact that Howard Stark has somehow appeared in the future and is the same as always.

This is definitely going to fuck up his schedule.

Steve/Tony, Bucky/Natasha

Tony's Malibu mansion has never felt emptier. His parents are dead, his uncle is gone, he hasn't spoken to the man who raised him in years, and the halls echo with the sounds of his regret. When his best friends suggest that he take a vacation for the holidays, he seizes at the opportunity, but he would never have imagined he'd end up on a website for house swapping.

Bucky's New York apartment has never been more quiet. He'd let his ex push away everyone he loved, let him use Bucky for his own gain, and he's got nothing to show for it other than some raging trust issues. When one of his friends suggests he get away from the city for December, he winds up agreeing to switch houses with Tony Stark, of all people.

Tony and Bucky come from two very different lifestyles, but over two weeks at the end of the year, they'll find laughter and love, and maybe, just maybe, they'll make themselves a new home.

After what happened in New York the Avengers with the help of Tony Stark are trying to become more independent. The team has grown together and for Steve Iron Man is a big part of that, although he has some trouble getting along with his employer. Then Steve faces a bit of a mystery when Tony Stark gets kidnapped – and Iron Man, who is supposed to be the man's bodyguard when he's not an Avenger, is nowhere to be found.

Tony meets his soulmate under the worst possible circumstances. It is not just a kidnapping gone wrong. It turns out Steve and his gang picked him on purpose and they want some personal revenge. If only he had managed to say the words written on his soulmate's arm before they threw him back out into the streets.

Post Avengers movie. Tony had figured that his life would go back to normal, or what passes as normal in Tony Stark's life, after the Chitauri Invasion - he was sadly mistaken. Fury isn't getting off his back about this whole team thing (never mind that most of his team mates are notable only through their absence), Pepper is dangerously close to a nervous breakdown due to his latest world-saving stunt (which really doesn't make his life any easier), terrorists have it out for him and the world by proxy, and Steve Rogers continues to defy all his expectations, somehow firmly inserting himself in Tony's life - all the while being ridiculously attractive and possibly the most oblivious person on the planet. Oh, and let's not forget the blue goo, there's blue goo, too. Sometimes Tony really hates his life.

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?

Tony Stark, second newest engineer at Rhodes Labs International, is just trying to rebuild from the ruins of his failed company, vanished fortune, and struggles with alcoholism. His goals include keeping his head down, avoiding stress and convincing Dr. Rhodes to let him build a really cool robot, so why does the universe keep throwing Avengers in his path?

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.

The Avengers have rescued Tony, captured and drugged by AIM. Since, for some strange reason, Iron Man isn't around, Steve offers to sit with Tony as he comes up out of sedation. Mostly Tony just wants to tell Steve he loves him; it's nothing Steve can't handle, and mostly Steve just wishes Tony meant it the same way he did. But then Tony wants to talk about several things he shouldn't know, and Steve learns that sometimes the truth really is that simple.

Tony thinks piloting the armor remotely while letting the others believe he’s wearing it is a good plan, until he realizes he’s not hung over, but actually quite ill.

Steve thinks something’s off with Tony today, but he has no clue what that might be, and since Tony says he’s good to go, they’ll proceed with the mission anyway.

“Well, that’s just my fucking luck, isn’t it?” The camera lurches, frame dropping from the ceiling to focus on Tony’s squinting eyes, right up in front of the lens while he makes an adjustment. “No Jarvis, outdated equipment, vibranium withdrawal.

Tony's injured, night is falling, and he's stranded in a cabin with a handful of teammates who are woefully under-equipped to deal with the oncoming wave of HYDRA soldiers that are about to blow down their door and pick them off.

Honestly though, Tony's more pissed about the fact that this all happened during Christmas. Were everything going to plan, he'd be copping a feel with Captain America under the mistletoe right about now.

Sometimes he really hates his job.

Tony was a hot mess when he was sick. Prickly, on the surface. But if you could work your way past that – which Steve had managed long ago – he was clingy, whiny. Needy. Essentially, everything he’d grown up believing a Stark shouldn’t be.

It's Sunday morning, and Tony just wants a warm bed, and Steve. He gets a board meeting, and a crazy high fever instead.

Steve didn't like Tony Stark.

Stark probably didn't like Steve, either. They'd gotten off on the wrong foot, and that was putting it mildly.

And having to pretend to be a civilian Stark was dating, as cover for trying to save Stark's life while Iron Man was busy with a SHIELD mission, obviously wasn't going to help.

Tensile strength is the resistance of a material to breaking under pressure. Spider web has a greater tensile strength than steel.

But everything has its limits. And between Spiderman, the SAT's, and dealing with the fallout from the soul stone, Peter has run smack into his. Cue Tony's shitty immune system and the fact that he maaaaybe hasn't told Peter yet that he and Steve are a thing, and we have ourselves a party.

Tony, Steve, Clint and Bruce spend quality time together in a cave. Tony does not build another arc reactor (even if he sort of needs one). Steve is all Protective Leader. Clint is terrifyingly good with a knife. Bruce bleeds and snarks. There is banter and embarrassing amounts of schmoop and the boys get very touchy-feely.

Months after the Battle of New York, the team moves into the tower. Tony and Steve keep dancing around each other, but besides his feelings towards the man, Tony has enough to deal with, what with trying to come to terms with himself and his own, personal issues.

The way Steve’s beating that bag, though—Tony traces the cadence as well as the lines of Steve’s body, and wonders if he might not need to know about the mission after all.

“Ah, tut tut, Thor All-Father; she no longer calls to you. She is open for the taking. We of power can feel it,” Proxima Midnight drawled, a smile tugging at her lips.

Tony's captivity had changed everything about him, he gained and lost valuable things, and led him to be Iron Man.

Tony Stark is not a narcissist, a liar, a soldier, a good listener, a hypocrite, or any of the other bullshit words people like to use. He knows himself, what he is and isn’t, what he does and doesn’t know. And he knows not just numbers, equations, and schematics, but words too.

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.

What if it wasn’t?

“I tire of this,” Amora says, and with a casual gesture the entire team is pinned in place, frozen in mid-air. Steve has the unsettling, half-familiar feeling of someone rifling through his head like it’s a card catalogue. A mind-reader as well as a witch, then.

A female voice whispers into his mind’s ear. It’s very tragic in here, dearheart, but I think your armored friend is, somehow, more psychically toxic than even you.

What’s wrong with Tony? Steve thinks, but the presence is gone, leaving his memories of war stirred up like flying insects rising off a lake in at dawn.

The Enchantress opens Tony's mind to anyone and everyone near him. Steve knows he should let Tony keep his secrets, but he's not noble enough to stay away.

So. Tony's dying. Palladium poisoning is a shitty, painful way to go, but hey: at least it's his birthday party, right? A cool send off. Lots of alcohol and fun and girls and-

...And all Tony wants is Steve Rogers, the stupid Art Professor who used Tony for a booty call now and again and whom Tony had stupidly decided to start falling in love with. Whilst in the middle of getting slowly poisoned to death.

"He almost lost Tony today. Tony almost died because he wasn’t fast enough, wasn’t smart enough, couldn’t come up with a better plan, was incompetent as a leader. It's like Bucky all over again, and isn't that absolutely terrifying, that Tony is as important to him as Bucky? Tony, the genius billionaire playboy philanthropist he’s known for only a couple of years, who he’s really only gotten to know recently, has squeezed his way into Steve’s heart, right next to his oldest friend. And wouldn't that be the stuff of nightmares, if Steve failed to save him, too."
