#Post Infinity War

[irondadfics]

Hi! Could you recommend some post-Infinity War fics where Avengers think Tony didn't lose anyone in the snap, but then he shows them who Peter was?

here you go! Happy reading!

Exposed by Multi_Fandom_Feels

"You lost nothing. I lost everything, everyone. You have no reason to be moping around like you’ve lived through tragedy.” Clint said, anger and envy dripping from his every word. Tony looked up, pain and anger burning in his eyes. “You have no idea what I lost.” - When Clint returns to the compound after the Snap, tensions are high. Tony is grieving, and no one knows why. No one knows what Tony lost that day, and Clint takes an issue with Tony.

You Didn't Lose Anything by lightningbugqueen

“I lost my son and I waited and wished for that snap to get me too, but it didn’t. And now I have to live in a world without my baby in it, and apparently I didn’t lose anyone! Apparently I am one of the lucky souls in the godforsaken world who didn’t lose his reason for living and you know what? That’s bullshit!”  ********************** Or when the Avengers don't understand that Tony lost someone too. Tw: death, grieving, etc.

Bring Him Back by fictionart

When Tony comes back from Titan, he doesn't say a word. This makes Clint really mad.

Hell on Earth by madasthesea

Prompt: please do post!IW where everyone lost someone in the snap, but on paper it looks like Tony didn't lose anyone (Rhodey is alive, I'm pretty sure Pepper and Happy are too), so Hawkeye or someone is pissed until they see Tony and realize he's lost just as much as them

too-bright-eyes and too-dark-eye-bags by Speeps

He’d tried to act as if nothing had changed. As if all he had to do was crank up his speakers, power up his workshop and haul his armour onto his workbench, and then everything would go back to normal. A sixteen year old with too-bright-eyes and too-dark-eye-bags would come bounding in, smile wide as he slung his backpack somewhere on the floor where he’d inevitably trip over it later on.  He eyed the faded backpack that sat lonely on its owner's bright blue chair. Dust clung to its seams.

every promise don't work out that way by LethalBookshelves

"His son." Everyone turns to look at the blue girl. She doesn’t flinch at the new attention, staring right at Clint. Then she turns her dark eyes to Tony’s. “He lost his son.” — Tony’s back on Earth, but not really. He left something—someone—back there on Titan. In his hands he holds the picture frame of him and Peter—young, happy, alive Peter—posing stupidly with cheesy bunny ears at the camera and holding Peter’s Stark Industries certificate upside-down, and he knows exactly what he’s lost. And as he watches his tears fall onto the glass, he knows that he will stop at nothing to bring Peter Parker back. This is the story that shows what happens when he succeeds.

i will restore all that was broken by killerqueenwrites

“He took my kids!” Clint shouts. “And he took mine!” Tony roars back. After watching Peter disappear, Tony is lost. People keep finding him.

The Space Between Stars

archiveofourown.org/works/30122736

There is more cold empty space in existence than any tangible cluster of atoms. Now more than ever Nebula can feel the cold emptyness inside of her. Great expanses of empty space between her molecules that not even the heat of her rage can warm.

In the months between titan and the birth of Morgan Stark, Tony and Nebula both have to deal with the holes left in their lives in order to move on.

This is genuinely one of the best things I've ever written

☆GET TO KNOW ME♡: [11/?] Favorite Characters

LOKI - Marvel Cinematic Universe (2011-2023)

- I don't enjoy hurting people. I... I don't enjoy it. I do it because I have to- because I've had to. -Okay, explain that to me. -Because it's part of the illusion. It's the cruel, elaborate trick conjured by the weak to inspire fear. -A desperate play for control. You do know yourself. -A villain. -That's not how I see it.

Gonna geek out on Marvel a second as someone who spent my teens obsessing over it; the reason people are so excited to see Bucky in Thunderbolts is because it looks like we may actually get a storyline for his journey.

Bucky, even when being a title character, has only ever really been used as a plot device to move along the storylines of the other characters.

He has had character development, but all of it has happened off screen; how did he go from being the Winter Soldier to living in Romania in Civil War? What happened in Wakanda? What led to him being pardoned and isolated by himself in his apartment in tfatw? How did he go from his clean cut, hanging with Sam to congressman with long hair again?

Even in Captain America: The Winter Soldier and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, even though he’s a title character, we are not shown much of his development at all. He plays an integral part in the Marvel universe but only because he has moved along Sam and Steve’s storylines, which is great but it’s nice to see a movie where we get to see him and his own journey/development.

From what we’ve seen in the clips, we see him in his new apartment and it is him that brings together the team and we get to see the process of that in congress. We will actually get to see his character develop in real time.

YESS <3

It’s a struggle to keep his eyes open. Every blink seems to drag out to minutes. He might be losing time.

Tony opens his eyes…

Peter’s above him, on hands and knees, eyes red-rimmed, smile tremulous as he caught Tony’s gaze. “Mr. Stark, you’re okay. You’re okay, you’ve got to be okay…”

Tony smiles helplessly, reaching up. It hurts. He touches the boy’s face, amazed to feel it solid beneath his hand.

Laughs, soft and pained. “You’re alive,” he murmurs, closing his eyes slowly. “What a relief.”

Tony opens his eyes…

Rhodey is touching his shoulder, shaking him lightly. “Tones. Please, Tony, c’mon, don’t do this to me man. You got the kid back, you did it, please don’t pull this self-sacrificial bullshit, Tony…”

“S’kay, sugar muffin,” Tony slurs. “‘S all ‘kay now.”

Tony opens his eyes…

Vision stares down at him, hand pressed to his forehead. “Don’t do this again,” he whispers, pleads. “There is nothing worth this, Father.”

Of course there is, Tony thinks dully, mouth forming the words. You are.

Tony opens his eyes…

Strange smiles down at him. “Well done, Tony.”

Tony opens his eyes…

Bruce is bent over him, forehead creased.

“How the hell did you manage to reverse everybody else’s injuries and none of your own?” The doctor hisses at him, eyes gleaming green as strong hands press down, sending shockwaves of agony through Tony’s system. Tony’s eyes flutter shut again.

“He’s dying,” Bruce announces, voice tight. “And not even from the fucking gauntlet.”

Tony does not open his eyes.

“We must think of our people,” a familiar voice cautions. “The Garden is gone, and our supply of apples is limited.”

“He will die without it, brother,” Thor says. His voice is strong, even, without a trace of doubt or fear. He sounds like a king. “He has saved us all.”

“Very well.”

His mouth is opened, and something is poured in. Tony is too weak to splutter, too weak to choke or even swallow. A hand massages his throat until he takes the liquid by reflex rather than choice.

He is tired.

And then… he is not.

Tony opens his eyes.

Thor is kneeling beside him, hand warm and big on his shoulder.

Behind him, a group hovers. Rhodey. Peter. Vision. Bruce. Strange and Loki, for some reason.

What an odd mix, Tony thinks, dazed. His eyes linger on Peter and Vision, something settling in his chest slowly.

Alive. They’re alive. We did it.

Tony clears his throat, shrugging off Thor’s hand and pushing himself into a sitting position. He focuses on Peter, eyes narrowing, allowing a flicker of annoyance to surpass the relief.

“You’re still sixteen, right? Because you are so fucking grounded.”

Peter stares at him, wide-eyed and dumbfounded.

“Oh my God,” Rhodey laughs, bright and relieved, and look at that, he’s tearing up.

Vision swoops forward before Tony can tease him, landing on Tony’s unoccupied side and bringing a red hand to his face. “Father…” he whispers.

“Hey, Vis,” Tony smiles, taking the hand in his own. “I missed you.”

Vision crumples, bending over him and hugging him tight to his chest, long fingers pressing through his hair. “You’re okay,” he pleads.

It shakes Tony out of his surprise, makes him reach up and hug back. “I’m okay, V. It’s okay, you’re okay. You’re alive,” Tony laughs, tight and joyous, still disbelieving.

He looks over Vision’s shoulder, catching Thor’s gaze.

“We actually did it?” he asks. “All of them? Every one?”

“Aye,” Thor beams. “You did it, Anthony. For my people and yours.”

Tony looks down at his left arm, surprised to find it intact. He distinctly remembers it melting away under the gauntlet, the stench and pain of his own flesh burning apart. He moves his fingers, one by one, testing.

No nerve damage that he can detect.

“Well fuck me,” he murmurs, fascinated despite himself. Nothing aches, his head feels fine, and he’s apparently regenerated a limb. “Did someone inject me with Extremis?”

“No,” Thor insisted. “Brother thought ahead and salvaged all the golden apples of Idunn already picked before enacting Ragnarok. I have fed you one in thanks for your efforts.”

Tony’s eyes flicked to Loki. The trickster watches him with calm eyes, appearing somehow lighter than Tony had ever seen him before. Probably a byproduct of Thanos’ existence being wiped from reality.

Tony flashes him a smile, sharp and quick. “We both have the other to thank for being alive, then. Even?”

Loki’s gaze sharpens.

“It was by my decree,” Thor cautions, though whether he was talking to Tony or Loki was up for debate.

“And his sleight of hand,” Tony shrugs, still holding that green gaze. Something flickers in it, and then Loki inclines his head.

“We are even, Stark,” he agrees.

“Sweet. You can let go now, Vis. We’ll cuddle later,” he teases gently.

“My scans conclude you are healthy,” Vision says into his hair. “However, despite conclusive evidence I find myself unwilling to release you.”

Tony chuckles, running a hand over his bald head. “Alright, darling, I’m pretty sure the gauntlet wrecked all my nanotech anyway. Feel free to give me a piggyback ride to wherever’s next.”

“Certainly, sir,” Vision says, in a tone so dry and utterly JARVIS that Tony feels a pang of loss and joy combined.

“The sass,” he sighs happily, unwinding from Vision just enough for the android to turn his back.

“Uh, Tony, since when are you Vision’s dad?”

“Don’t worry, Brucie-bear, you’re technically daddy too. You just weren’t around when I was raising our boy, so I get preference.”

Vision makes a noise of dissent. “I do not believe I would refer to you as such no matter the circumstances, Dr. Banner,” the android says, somewhat tartly. “I have access to all of JARVIS’ data, and thus recall his time as Father’s AI fondly. I have no such memories of you.”

“Ah, sorry V.” Tony smirked over the android’s shoulder at Bruce. “He’s grown a bit of a grudge against you, leaving like that. You abandoned our child, babe. I expect back pay child support in the form of Science.”

“Science?” Bruce snorted.

“The only mistress I desire,” Tony said dramatically, clinging to Vision’s back like a koala when he stood. “I’m done with that magic, space altering bullshit.”

“Your mind has expanded,” Loki said, a glint of something hungry in his eyes.

Tony waved him off, making a shushing gesture.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Bruce asked, turning.

“Nope, nope, nope, nope,” Tony tsked, clicking his tongue irritably. “You’ve said time and again that you aren’t that kind of doctor. And Strange, neuro was hardly your specialty, so don’t you dare jump in. Whatever info Princess has deduced - or thinks he’s deduced - is privileged medical knowledge. Which means nunya business. Capiche?”

“Tony, I just–”

“No means no, Bruce,” Tony snapped. “I feel violated! Don’t violate my mental sanctity, that’s mind rape. Extremely uncool. Vis, make them be nice to daddy.”

“I suggest,” Vision said, sharp and cutting, “that you choose your next words very carefully, doctors, sorcerer.”

Loki actually paled, and Tony leaned forward to find the mind stone glowing from its return to the center of Vision’s forehead. It was the only stone Tony hadn’t been rid of.

Tony tsked again, raising his left hand unthinkingly to cover the stone. Instead of burning as Tony had half-come to expect, the stone cooled under his touch, tendrils of sharp fury nudging at his mind. It was inordinately simple to push the presence back. “Be calm, sweet boy. Take a breath in. Good, now hold it. And out. Again.”

Tony coaxed Vision until his breathing had steadied and the stone’s glow faded. Loki was watching him with something like wonder on his face, while Strange was narrow-eyed and Bruce still and a bit green around the gills.

“Do you need some breathing exercises as well, Bruce, or is Jolly Green coming out to say hi?”

Bruce huffed, the green receding from his skin. “I’m sorry, Tony, Vision. I didn’t mean to upset either of you, I was just… concerned.”

Tony flicked his hand dismissively. “It’s alright, I’m used to being ignored when privacy is involved. Just be a bit kinder to Vis, hm? Lack of consent sort of presses his buttons.”

“Funny considering that thing in his forehead,” Loki hissed lowly. Tony shot him a sharp look, running a finger over the stone possessively. The last time it was removed from Vision, he died. If Loki gave any indication of trying to displace it…

“Just because I willed you back to life does not mean I won’t snuff you out if you raise a finger against my family.”

Green eyes met brown and held for a taut moment.

Loki inclined his head. “I have no intention of harming your child, Stark. Just keep the Mind Stone clear of me and all will be well.”

“V does what he wants,” Tony shrugged, clinging a bit tighter to his brain baby. “That said,” he murmured into the android’s ear, “we should discuss that sparkly stone in your forehead later, Vis. For now, try to keep in mind the way us humans fear things they don’t understand.”

“You do not, Father.”

“How many times do I have to tell you I’m special before you’ll believe me?” Tony pouted.

Vision laughed, the sound low and warm. “You’ve never had to say that for me to know it.”

A movie for every year since I was born: Avengers: infinity War (2018)

[squilfmybeloved]

yeah. ur right. found family to me IS loving someone so completely that you literally rip apart the fabric of space and time to bring them back even though you said you wouldn't because you can't risk what you have now but saw a picture of them and was like OH SHIT i can't live without you !! time to create time travel 😆

[musette22]

I don't have a lot of love for Infinity War, but I adore the hug between Steve and Bucky. The way Steve was looking around all serious, then as soon as he sees Bucky he's got the biggest smile, and they're just giving each other heart eyes. It's especially adorable since they're literally about to be in a huge battle for the fate of the world, but they're just so happy to see each other. One thing that always cracks me up as well is the reactions of Nat, Sam and T'Challa behind them while they hug. I would've loved more moments of the boys being in love and oblivious to the looks everyone gives them.

Oh, I'm totally with you on this one, lovely! That is one Very Important Thing that Infinity War gave us (one of the others being Steve's nomad look 🔥), and while I believe it should've lasted longer, I'll still treasure that hug forever 🥹💞

They look absolutely delighted to see each other, both of them smiling and glowing, Bucky even with freshly washed and styled hair 👀 It's the cutest thing! And Nat, Sam's and T'Challa's reactions are gold, I agree. They're suble, but if you're paying attention, it's clear to see how they feel about these two smitten goobers and how obviously excited and happy they are to see each other again 🥰

So grateful we got a moment like - but yeah god, I would have taken an entire movie with just Steve and Bucky giving each other hearteyes and being too besotted to realize that everyone is (affectionately) shaking their heads at their antics 💕 Even though we're unfortunately not getting that, the fic writers of this fandom have given us moments like that one a thousand times over, and I'll always be grateful 🥰
