#Stark tower

[animaniacs16]

Wait with everyone meeting on the top floor and Bob just hanging out in the tower (and doing the dishes) are we actually getting (bootleg) Avengers Living In Stark Tower Together??

Is Clint going to come back and live in the vents?

Will Thor cameo with a Pop Tart in his hand?

Does each member have their own floor?

[jarvispoptart]

Steve: ugly ass building. *process to draw it*

[coffeeandjuice]

*Talking about the tower*

Tony: You think the tower is ugly?

Steve: It’s just a little…phallic shaped

Tony: So is every building in New York! Have you ever seen the Chrysler Building?

i just realized that those ‘peter parker school trip’ fics are literally the maribat Wayne Industries fics just in a different font

[highladyofterrasen7]

You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me

[trulynamelessworld]

Y'all I need peak 2016 (but actually good) Avengers Tower fics where they're all living together like the weirdest roommates to ever exist.

Ya feel?

No I do not care what romantic pairings there are, I just need everyone alive. Bonus points if they heavily feature Natasha or if it's from her point of view. I don't mind a bit of angst, but I need the funny.

Thanks!

Layouts for Avengers tower and Compound if you guys are having trouble labeling rooms or where to visualize whole writing or reading fanfics

[drrav3nb]

So I've just found out about the whole Domestic Avengers Living In Stark Tower era of fandom that happened in 2012 and I'm so upset that I didn't find out about this during that time because I would've been so obsessed with it!😭

So if anyone has any fic recs that they could tell me about, I'd love to read them!🥺

[driverrollupthepartitionplz]

when my card declines at therapy and they stick me back in 2012 Stark Tower Eating poptarts with Thor, sleeping in air vents with clint, doing ballet with natasha, getting sung to by wanda, going swinging with peter, having sleepovers in the living room, putting magnets on bucky's arm, cuddling on Thor because he's a warm teddy bear, having random parties while stark gets blackout drunk, and eating breakfast with all of the team.

[spidergrotto]

current thoughts are of intern peter au , nobody knows he’s spider-man and he doesn’t directly work with tony BUT he does work on a lot of stark tech and practically develops the stuff but it goes uncredited because the higher ups are the ones meant to be working on it. he’s completely fine with this— interning here has been a dream come true and spider-man takes most of his free time up anyways, he doesn’t have time to be upset.

i just think that it’s not practical to believe that stark industries has always been COMPLETELY without corruption, big corporations are always filled with ego fueled bosses and managers and stark industries isn’t any different, the only difference is when pepper or tony find out about it they put in the work to resolve it.

pepper dragging tony to a meeting, some presentation of his teams latest product— they’ve been trying to focus on sustainability. ten minutes in and tony knows that these guys have no idea what they’re talking about, the product itself was great— but ask a question about the calculations or future advancements and it’s quiet.

cue tony telling friday to find and call up whoever worked on the project, in comes a really concerned and kind of sweaty peter parker ( he just barley made it to the internship on time. )

that’s all i got sorry the rest is in my brain rn

Avengers tower breakdown [X]

[rolandtowen]

oh - my - god - keep - me from going lunatic: chapter ten

In which the author is not immune to the Avengers Tower movie night trope. And also gives the readers the Pepper & Helen friendship we all deserved. Pure fluff.

Read on Ao3 or under the cut!

Pepper Potts knows far too much about Bucky Barnes for not having met the man face-to-face. As CEO of Stark Industries, she's been flexing her bureaucratic muscles to get him the care - and legal help - he desperately needs. She knows him down to how many carbohydrates he needs in a day, thanks to Mandi's emails. Knows him down to holes in his brain, thanks to Jason's. And while Rebecca has been keeping whatever they discuss in session under wraps, Pepper knows it's not great. 

Tony hadn't let her get anywhere close to the Winter Soldier files. It isn't like him anymore to hide things from her. Then again, she knows more about Bucky than any reasonable person should - she'll let the the soldier keep at least some secrets. 

The legal front is...tricky, to say the least. The US Army has damn near created its own task force to assess their options. At least they're committed to cleaning up their own messes, Pepper thinks. Even if no US charges stick against Bucky, they can't say the same for all of the other countries that have been wronged by the Winter Soldier. There's a high probability that if Bucky ever leaves the States, he'll be arrested. 

The Army has assured Pepper that extradition is out of the question though, and that calms her nerves a little. Someone powerful is looking out for Bucky. He's as safe as he can be in New York, in the legal sense anyway. 

Pepper's also pretty certain that Bucky hasn't left his apartment for anything other than his stint in the medical wing and that fateful team meeting. She's going to have to change that. There's only enough room for one shut-in insomniac under her care, and Tony claimed it first. 

She's delighted when Steve informs her that Bucky has accepted her invitation to movie night. She hasn't been able to plan anything fun in ages. Normally when she's calling a meeting, she's trying to keep the world from ending. Now her only imperative is to not retraumatize a hundred year-old super soldier. And maybe make sure he smiles, just a little bit. 

Surely this could not be harder than covering Tony's ass. 

Easy decision: a movie. Not too long, no war or violence or death or brainwashing. Alright. A kid's movie. 

Lion King . Absolutely not. Mufasa falling to his death is going to make not one but two super soldiers cry. 

WALL-E. Maybe. The whole robot thing might be toeing too close to the programming line, but it's not off the list yet. 

Up. No chance. It'll make her cry. 

Spirit. Amazing but hits every single red flag. Another time. 

Ratatouille. It takes Pepper an ungodly amount of time, but this feels like the one. No peril, lots of whimsy, and delicious looking animated food to top it all off. She picks WALL-E as a backup, just in case Bucky's terrified of rats for some horrible reason. 

Keeping with the French theme, she places an order from one of Tony's favorite date night spots. Salmon grillé for her, cabillaud au champagne for Helen, two orders of beef bourguignon for Steve, and after much consideration, potato and leek soup for Bucky. Everything would be pureed, and Pepper is almost certain the change of flavor would be most welcome after three weeks of nutrition shakes, oatmeal, and the occasional buttered toast. Mandi has just cleared Bucky to start eating cooked vegetables, so this'll be a good trial run. At any rate, it'll also be an easy enough recipe to make on his own if he likes it. 

At 6pm on the dot, Pepper begins preparing the Common Room. This early in the spring, the sun still sets quickly, but she still has JARVIS draw the shades anyway. It feels cozier, more secure once the lights of the city have been blacked out. She pulls a plethora of blankets and pillows out from their hiding places, throwing them haphazardly on and around the couch in what she hopes is an inviting scene. The food arrives and it makes her mouth water instantly as she hurriedly sets out paper plates alongside plastic utensils, reserving a ceramic bowl for the soup. Tony would be able to find a joke in here, fine French dining on disposable plates. Her heart clenches, and she hopes he's okay. 

The team had decided on radio silence, at least until they arrived at the Siberian base. That way it'd be harder for HYDRA to track their movements, anticipate where they were headed. Pepper knows it's for the best, but still. Can't blame her for worrying, not with Tony's track record. Still, if nothing’s exploding, that must mean everything is going alright. 

The elevator chimes softly and Helen steps into the Common Room. She's traded her lab wear for jeans and an oversized sweater, and her hair brushes her shoulders. "Oh, Pepper, this is lovely!" The younger woman looks delighted at the spread of food, her eyes lingering on the cod dish she’d picked out over text. She reaches out and swipes her finger through the butter and wine sauce, and Pepper playfully bats her hand away. “We have to wait for our guest of honor!” She scolds, no heat in her words. 

Pepper and Helen have developed a bit of a friendship, born out of living in the Tower, surrounded by testosterone and super soldiers and secrecy. Pepper treasures the soft, quiet moments she gets to have with Helen, when she gets to feel a little bit like a normal woman eating brunch with her friend instead of the CEO of a former-weapons manufacturer dating one of most visible, most stupid superheroes – 

She’s getting sidetracked. Point is, she’s really freaking grateful to have Helen in the Tower, in her life. She hopes that Helen finds the same solace in their friendship, being so far from home. Tony had seen the promise of Helen’s technology, the Regeneration Cradle and everything that went along with it. He’d practically begged her to come to New York, to use his resources to advance her research – Pepper wonders if some part of him is still trying to make up for his past, investing so heavily in innovations that create and give life, rather than destroy and take life. It’s not a bad thing to support such endeavors, but – Pepper hopes he’s not doing it out of some sense of self-loathing or guilt.

The elevator chimes again, and Steve steps out, trailed by a nervous looking Bucky. 

"Thanks again for putting this together, Pepper. Bucky, this is Pepper Potts, she's the CEO of Tony's company, and also Tony's girlfriend." 

Bucky sticks his right hand out, robotic, like he'd been coached how to do so properly, but his shy smile is genuine. "Pleasure to meet you, ma'am." 

Pepper takes his large hand in hers and returns his smile. "It's nice to meet you too, Bucky. Please, call me Pepper." She can feel his hand relax in hers minutely before she draws away. She gestures to the set table. "Shall we?"

***

Bucky sits at the table with the others, the food spread out before him is – beautiful. That’s the word. Steve portions himself a large helping of some kind of stew, that smells – God , how it smells. It makes Bucky’s mouth water involuntarily, and he thinks – it's beef , he can't, can't remember the last time he'd had beef – 

Steve catches him staring, because of course he does. “I don't think Mandi's cleared you for meat yet, but –” he grabs a slice of baguette, soaking it in the stew. “Do you want to try?” 

Bucky does, and it – there aren't words for it. Fat and salt linger heavy but welcome on his tongue, and something – garlic – lights up his taste buds. He eats the whole slice, chasing the droplets of flavor that escape onto the pads of his fingers. He hears Steve chuckle. “That good, huh?” He nods vigorously. He glances up at the rest of the table, and Pepper is placing a nutrition shake and a bowl in front of him. Is – is that for him?

“I wasn't sure what you'd like,” she admits. “But this shouldn't upset your stomach. It's potato and leek soup.” Bucky's hand shakes around the edge of the bowl, warmth bleeding into his skin. “Th-thank you,” he says hesitantly. An indulgence like this at HYDRA, it would cost…so much. Service. Maybe, maybe a reward for an important mission well done. 

“You don't have to eat it all,” Steve says next to him, recognizing the hesitation, mistaking it for anxiety about his body's reaction to the new food. “You can try a few spoonfuls and wait a couple of minutes, if that helps.” 

The head knows, it knows that they wouldn't take the food away, just because he hesitates. But the body does not know, and Bucky's heart thumps wildly in his chest at the mere suggestion that he won't eat the whole bowl. If it tastes as good as it smells – and it smells, just as good if not better than Steve's beef stew – then Bucky, Bucky wants – to finish it all. Still, he nods at Steve's suggestion. It's a good suggestion. Steve's smart like that. 

Bucky tentatively tries the first spoonful of soup, and – 

“Girls, get in here and help me with these potatoes!” 

“Coming mama!” 

“James, honey, can you cut these onions up for me? The small cuts, how I showed you – yes, that's wonderful, baby.” A woman with brown curly hair brushes his hair out of his eyes. “Getting kinda long, maybe we'll cut it this weekend, huh?” 

“But, mama,” he protests. “I like it long. I can still cut things with it long, I ain't any less helpful,” he says petulantly. 

The woman – mama – tuts at him. “Sure, James, but what'll the neighbors think?”

“I ain't messy with it. I slick back, nice and proper,” he argues, not taking his eyes off of his onion. The – mama sighs. “I know, sweet boy. It ain't the mess I'm worried about. It's just –”

–uck. Bucky, you okay? You hear me?” 

“Sure, Stevie, I hear ya,” Bucky says almost automatically, the phrase foreign and yet familiar on his tongue. He looks from his bowl of soup to Pepper, and then to Steve, who looks like he might cry. “S-sorry. I'm sorry.” 

“No, no, you – you didn't do anything wrong, Buck. It's just – did you have another memory?” 

“I think…I think I just remembered my…my mother,” he says, like a confession. “She had brown hair, curls?” He grips his hand tight around his spoon, ready to be lectured about how weapons don't have families, that he's just malfunctioning again, needs the Chair again, and –

“Sounds like her,” Steve affirms, and Bucky tries to let go of the anxiety pounding in his chest. It doesn't make sense, he'd been told so many times that he doesn't have a family, and yet – he remembers calling a woman ‘mama'. What's even more confusing is that Steve knows who he's talking about, in a memory from however many decades ago. Steve ain't a kid but he's definitely not that old. Maybe he's seen photos of her somewhere. “Her name was Winnifred. I –” Steve cuts himself off before stealing a glance at Pepper and Helen. He tries again. “I'm really glad you got that memory back, Buck. You alright to keep eating?” 

Bucky is. He finishes the whole bowl, plus his regular nutrition shake and a few more slices of buttered baguette. By the time they move to the couch, Bucky feels like his whole being is warm, satiated, and safe. Pepper briefly explains the advancements in movie animation over the years, but Bucky can't bring himself to absorb any of it. The movie starts, and despite the utterly ridiculous plot, Bucky is at peace, his senses occupied by the music, colors, and the press of a soft blanket against his left side and Steve's solid warmth on his right. 

Halfway through the film, Helen pulls out a ball of yarn and a wooden hook, working a series of complicated knots in a spiral pattern. Crochet, Steve had called it. Bucky, briefly hypnotized by the repetitive movements of the needle and yarn, wonders if Helen would ever consider teaching him, but before he can open his mouth to ask the question, sleep sweeps him away. 

***

“Is he…?” Pepper trails off, smiling at Bucky. Steve looks to his left and grins. Bucky’s curled over the arm of the couch, his breathing deep and even, left arm curled into a blanket, cushioning his head. 

“Oh my God,” Steve breathes, not daring to raise his voice above a whisper.

“Awh, he’s like a cat,” Helen murmurs, putting down her crochet. “Should we…?” She gestures to the screen, where Remy the rat is busy fixing Linguini’s soup. 

“Nah, let him sleep,” Steve says. He knows from too many nights watching the surveillance from Bucky’s apartment that deep sleep is far too rare for the soldier. Even super soldiers need at least a consistent five hours every night – and while Bucky’s been sleeping, he’s always restless, always tossing and turning, even without nightmares. So to see Bucky slumbering on the couch, content and damn near purring, makes Steve’s heart soar a little bit. It means even more to realize that Bucky feels safe here, not just with Steve, but with Helen and Pepper too. Safe enough to let his guard down, enough to sleep. “I’ll show him the ending another time. Lord knows he needs it.”

Pepper nods in agreement. Movie night had been an even greater success than she could have hoped. Not only had she gotten Bucky out of his apartment, she’d gotten a little smile from him, gotten a hot meal – a real meal – into him. And to top it all off, it looks like he’s going to get some rest too. Real rest. When the movie ends, Pepper sighs, already reaching a gentle hand out to wake Bucky, but Steve stills her. “I can get him.”

“You sure?” Helen asks, rising from her chair. 

“Yep,” Steve sweeps one arm around Bucky’s back and another under his knees, effortlessly picking up the super soldier. “He ain’t that heavy. All I gotta do is hold him.”

Stark Tower Field Trip Rec

It seems like everybody has a Stark Tower Field Trip rec, and I just realized that I never made one. I know this trope is like, 5 years old, but I still find myself reading Stark Tower Field Trip fics today, so I’d figure I’d make my own rec of my favorites. So here they are!

Field Trips and Lab Days

By: BundiBirds

https://archiveofourown.org/works/32638660

Summary: What Peter’s trying to say is: he didn’t know that today’s tour group was going to be Midtown High. Ned knew, but didn’t say anything because he’s a traitor, and MJ knew, but didn’t say anything because she loves chaos, and look, the point is, Peter did not expect to glance up from the guts of one of Tony’s prototypes and come face to face with his entire class, staring at him through the glass.

My Comments: Yes, this is a field trip to Stark Tower fic. It’s a pretty nice short fic if you’re looking for a quick read. It doesn’t really have much of the “tour” part of Stark Industries, but more so of the class’s astonishment that Peter was telling the truth about the internship. You do need an AO3 account to read this fic.

From Your Perspective, the World is Flat

By: Bleuh

https://archiveofourown.orgs/works/19835743

Summary: Peter successfully goes on a field trip, accidentally catches the school bleachers, survives a bus explosion, and reveals his identity as Spider-Man… Not necessarily in that order, much to the confusion of his entire decathlon team. 

My Comments: This is another field trip fic. And it is a Spider-Man reveal. This fic is pretty great, and I love the take they did on Peter being held hostage. I also love the relationship Peter has with the rest of the decathlon team. This is part of a series, so I’ll link that down below.

It’s Above My Clearance Level

By: Tsk

https://archiveofourown.org/works/15732231

Summary: In which Peter’s class goes on a field trip to Stark Tower, and no one knows why this kid has such a high clearance

My Comments: This here was actually the first Stark Tower Field Trip fic I read, and was what made me fall in love with the trope to begin with. It has everything you could want, with Peter knowing Friday, the classmates being nosy, and Flash’s reaction was just priceless. Plus it had a few additional details that I just loved.

Air Force

By: Pomegranateboy

https://archiveofourown.org/works/18078857

Summary: Peter has never really had a good time on field trips, this one appears to be the exception.

My Comments: While this fic isn’t really a Stark Tower field trip fic, I do think it deserves a place on this rec. In this fic Peter and the class go to the air force and see Rhodey instead. And it has other additional gems in it, from Peter solving impossible equations and being a self defense prodigy. It’s really a delight all around that I highly recommend.

Peter’s Field Trip & More

By: Climbergirlio

https://archiveofown.org/works/17593775

Summary: Peter receives a permission slip for a field trip to the Avenger’s Compound. And that’s before a photo of him and Tony leaks, and before he starts a Stark Inter Twitter Account, and before Bucky bugs him and finds out his whole school thinks he’s a liar, and before Tony decides he’s going to prove Peter’s Internship is real, and before his school visits his second home. At least Peter has his crazy protective super-family to get him through it, though. 

My Comments: I think that the summary just about says it all. This fic has everything you could want from it. And I really love how they pulled the social media aspect into it. And not to mention Peter’s entire school thinking he was a liar and then eating their words. Overall this fic is just magnificent. I definitely recommend giving this one a read.

I get why the official Avengers base in the MCU was that one very far from the city center because it could be very fucking big and had an Olympic pool and the jets and blah blah blah but wouldn't it be better if it was in Manhattan *cough* the Stark tower *cough*, since everything bad in the MCU happens there? Better to be close by. It's a fact that the (new) Avengers are coming, it's a need and even Ross told Sam in CA:BNW that he wants them back, and they'll need a new base. I hope they use the tower. I know the tower is Valentina's now but maybe if she dies or gets arrested after Thunderbolts*...

[turtlesystem]
