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.

“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.”

Following the Battle of New York, the Avengers Initiative kicks into high gear under the leadership of Steve Rogers, i.e. Captain America. Tony didn’t mean to become part of this initiative, but it makes sense to sign on due to his experience with SHIELD and Rhodey’s War Machine suits.
The upside: Tony’s tech can be used in a widespread and meaningful way to help protect people. The downside: the last time Tony saw Steve, he’d rejected Steve’s proposal of marriage and broke his heart, leading to almost ten years of the two having no contact whatsoever. Until now.

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.

Tony is a 27-year-old disgraced omega working as a nanny. His summer consists of taking the child in his care, Natasha, to the community pool.
Alpha Steve Rogers is the 18-year-old, ridiculously attractive lifeguard of said pool.
When Tony meets him, he feels like he’s been punched in the gut and his omega instincts immediately go haywire. But Steve is nearly ten years younger than him. And definitely out of his league. Plus, there’s the whole ‘he’s sworn off alphas’ thing.
It doesn’t matter how blue Steve’s eyes are. Or how spectacular his muscles look, all wet and glistening, as he vaults out of the water. The two of them will never, ever happen.
Steve, though... Steve’s got other ideas.

Tony is not the go-to-guy when people are sick, hurt, emotionally distraught or - actually he is never a go-to-guy aside from tech. But sometimes, no-one else is there and then he will step up.
Because he is a Sucker™.

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?

It's not a mantra. Not really. It's not something he explicitly tells himself. No.
It's just... it stuck to him.

"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.

This is how Tony fixed the team and the damage he’d done, and in the process learned how to start fixing himself. Well, maybe the latter might take a little help from Steve.

Something I wrote awhile back for the prompt 'one day Tony emerges from his workshop and realizes, for the first time in his life, he’s surrounded by people. By friends who like him for him rather than his money. He’s only really had Rhodey and Pepper (and JARVIS and the bots) before. Cue panic.'

Tony rebuilds, modifies. Takes fragments and gives them new order. He does not create. He can’t, not anymore. Not after this.
Or: After the events of Ultron, Tony rebuilds the tower by himself and shuts everything out to the point that Pepper takes desperate measures and asks Steve to come and help.

“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.
