Pairing: Steve/Tony Rating: G Words: 777 Tags: College AU, Dentists, Roommates

Summary: Tony is feeling a little loopy, he knows there is a reason for it but can't seem to remember why. But he is sure there was a reason! And the handsome blonde stranger sitting across him is not helping with thinking straight... OR: Tony goes to the dentist to get his teeth pulled and gets high out of his mind with the sedatives.

Reasons why I love it: This fic is so fucking cute! It's short and fluffy and sweet, the perfect treat if you're looking for a little pick-me-up. Loopy Tony is adorable, and Steve is just the best. I love this fic, and I bet you will too!

Pairing: Steve/Tony Rating: T Words: 1,853 Tags: The Last of Us AU, Survival, Post-Apocalypse

Summary: This is just time stolen from a dead world. It doesn’t make it any less beautiful.

Reasons why I love it: The wording throughout this fic is so beautiful. Watching Tony figure out his new life in this changed world is fantastic, especially once he's joined by Steve. And those last few paragraphs made me tear up. This fic is wonderful, and I hope you give it a shot for yourself!

But I'm Broken Too (And Spoken For) by pptiny

Pairing: Steve/Tony Rating: G Words: 3,183 Tags: Crackfic, Cinderella AU, Humor

Summary: So, Steve is Cinderella. Who knew? A Cinderella AU that clearly makes no sense.

Reasons why I love it: Fucking Fairy Godfury, I'm howling. This one is crackfic at its finest. It's funny and adorable and doesn't take itself too seriously, which I love. Also, Steve and Tony bantering in the kitchen like two lovesick idiots is good stuff. This fic is great, and you should definitely read it!

Summary: Howard Stark pressures his son to marry the daughter of a fellow industrialist, socialite and heiress Joanna Nivena.

Peter’s mom (Single Dad AU)

this will be hard to understand if you haven’t read any of the #Single dad AU so please read them before reading this.

This event happened days before Peter confronted his dad and after the diaper incident... hopefully you guys won't get confused by it.

THANK YOU AND ENJOY!

**********

It was his idea to talk himself and Rhodey into the idea of deciding to confront the mother of his child. And yes, he had to talk himself into it, serious personal conversations isn’t one of his best skill especially with a person who was basically a stranger. To Rhodey it was more of Tony’s conversational argument with himself while Rhodey listens, or half listening while nodding every now and then.

“Are you even listening to me!?” Tony snapped at him.

Rhodey just shrugs at him. “Tones, I would comment on your dilemma if you weren’t already arguing   with yourself. And if you really wanted my opinion and actually take it then I think its best that you talk to her. You could ask her about Peter, about his health situations or genes that you have to worry about and other stuff… plus it would be easier for you to transfer peter to fully be in your custody if you asked help from her” Tony opens his mouth as he tries to interject but was cut off before he even made a sound. “AND if ever she changes her mind it is her decision. She has her rights…She is the mother of your child. I know how it sounds Tones but it is the truth. I don’t want to give Peter to her as much as you do. So if we really wanted Peter to stay you can always open a court case against her”.

“So it’s a ‘we’ now” Rhodey rolled his eyes over the teasing Billionaire.

Tony had to think for a minute because it is a serious moment, a very serious moment concerning his child. He made a thin line with his lips as he scrunches his eyebrows together while fiddling with his long sleeves. Rhodey stared at him for a long time. He was quite anxious himself of the possibility of Peter’s mother wanting to claim him back was a 50/50 chance and it is pretty big chance. Tony took in a deep breath and let out a sigh.

“Okay, I’ll do it.”

Rhodey promised to be up with him throughout the night but he couldn’t even last three hours before snoring in Tony’s couch. Tony snorted at his best friend before wrapping him in a blanket and giving him chaste kiss on his cheek.

It took even lesser than two hours before Tony started to get impatient and walked around the apartment. He couldn’t stop walking around and over thinking till it was quarter to 5 and it only made his over thinking even worse. He was now biting his nails and tugging his hair from his skull in frustration.

He checked the time again and saw that it was 5:53. He went straight to the door and peeped through the peeping hole and saw nothing so he waited. It took around 20 minutes before he a sees the beautiful golden hair and stunning emerald eyes that he thought he’d never see again. He immediately opened the door startling the woman who was bending down to leave a letter that she was holding in her hand.

Tony didn’t know what to say all he could let out was the name of his old flame. “Joanna…”

She stood up and gave a sad smile.

“Hi Tony” Her voice sounded hoarse and faint.

“W-Why?” Tony clenched his fist in frustration. “You w-were the girl that I-I slept with during that D-DAY YOU BROKE UP WITH ME!? Why do this to me!? Why break up with me and sleep with me the same night and then come back and leave me OUR CHILD without even showing your FACE!? I had loved you so much! I never loved anyone as I did with you and you just toyed with me in a sick weird way! And what’s upsetting about this is that I never stopped loving you even until now… no matter how much Rhodey told me to forget about you… how many girls I’ve slept with just to forget about you… so why…. I just don’t… I can’t understand why you did this to me…. How I deserve this from you… What I’ve done during our relationship to play me like some game…”

He wasn’t looking at her anymore. He was afraid to see another woman had just toyed with him like Sunset did; another woman had just turned him into a great fool. Maybe he was a great fool for falling for women who likes to break his heart like it was made of glass.

His eyes flew open as he felt cold fingers grazing his cheek bones. His eyes met glossy emerald. He felt like he could melt in them at any moment with those eyes. The hair he curled with his fingers every time he woke up in her arms. Tony blinked. The palms of her hands were like ice and her lips where pale and quivering. Tears were flowing leaving those eyes that he loved. He couldn’t help bet wipe them from her cheeks like it was the natural thing to do.

“Oh, my sweet… *gasp* I-I never wanted to *gasp* wanted to leave you…. *gasp*” She hid her emeralds as he let out deep haggard breaths. “Can I c-come in? *gasp* I-I need to S-sit…”

He led her in his apartment and closed the door. He helped her sit down in the dining room. She gave short fast breaths but it slowed down and steadied. He noticed how frail her body was and how pale she looked and how she was shaking with her clenched fist. He wanted to sit down beside her and caress her arm as he whispers how everything is ok and how it’s fine but it’s not. So he stood there waiting for her to calm down. She looked up at him and he sees the dark circle under her eyes. She looked tired.

“Tony, I never wanted to leave you. I never… never stopped loving you. I-I didn’t intend to toy with you. That day I left you… I decided to leave you for good…because I… but I just… I wanted to remember how you felt… That’s why I tailed you and I saw you… you were drunk and flirting with…” Her eyes grew darker as she gritted her teeth. “Almost every man/woman who passes by… so I went to talk to you and with you so drunk… you couldn’t even realize it was me… so I took the chance to feel you for the last time… to treasure you for the last time… And I didn’t expect… didn’t expect that I’d get pregnant… I was confused when I knew about it… I was happy yet I was…. Tony I…” She gave out a heavy sigh and looked away. “I… I’ve been d-diagnosed with Secondary Lung Cancer… That’s the reason I broke up with you because I didn’t want to let you see me like this… And that’s the reason I was devastated when I had him… I thought… I thought I wouldn’t live to have him… I thought I wouldn’t live to get to that 9 months… The doctors told me the chances of me living to have him were slim…. But I somehow made it… although it doesn’t mean I’d live to see him grow up… I didn’t want him to live without a parent so I came here”

Tony sat down. It was too much to process and he needed to sit down. He looked at her. She was still staring at her hands, too ashamed to look up at him.

“So you came here and thought that my 18 year old ass… who parties like its god damn 1969 would take a child from a one night stand not knowing who the woman was… And treasure him and take care of him and try to be a better father than my dad ever was…”

She looked up. “And I was right”

He took her hand that was resting on the table and held onto her.

“And you were right”

************

Joanna died six days after. Tony spent those six days beside her and brought Peter every day with him. And Rhodey was there to support them. She never wanted to go to the hospital so his father had nurses and doctors visit her in her room. Tony spent those days calling her darling like he used to and making her smile like he used to. And now Peter was making her smile too. She smiled like she had never lived before whispering to them how happy she is with her boys but even with her eyes shining like a beautiful meadow or like the tales of the great emerald city turned real with her glimmering like that. Yet she refused to eat or drink. She had already refused days before and the toll of it was catching up with her. She swatted every any nurse or doctor that came to her to give her an IV bag or feeding tube. She would go wild and Tony had to step away from the room to cradle peter in his arms to stop him from crying. And she had begged the doctor, her father, her mother, and even Tony. She was already very tired and very weak. She wanted to rest. They stopped trying to administer any meds she’d go against and she started to slow down.

Tony brushed her hair from her face and kissed her lips.

“I promise to try and be great father”

“You already are” She smiled at him lazily.

“I love you so much, darling” He gave her another deep kiss then kissed her all over her face as tears flowed down.

“I love you too, sweetheart” He rested his forehead against hers as she caressed his cheeks.

When she had Peter in her arms, she held him close and stared at her beautiful baby. She pressed a long kiss on his forehead then whispered.

“Don’t torment your father so much and watch over him for me. I’ll be watching over you little one. I’ll always be by your side. I love you so much, pumpkin” She gently held his little hand and kissed it. She wanted to see her son grow up like any mother would be but she knew if she stayed any longer she would look much more worse than now. And Peter would have to see all that and she has to see Peter’s painful gaze as her lights flicker. She doesn’t want that. Nobody does.

It was the longest and yet also the shortest six days of Tony’s life.

Joanna died in her sleep. Tony woke her up the next day but her eyes remained closed and her body was cold as ice. Tony broke down. He had asked Rhodey to take care of Peter while he was gone. When he came back the next day, he decided to confront his father about Peter. And so Rhodey and Tony drove to the Stark mansion and promised to Joanna’s parents that they would come back for her burial.

Tony closes his eyes as they drove off. He tries to remember every beautiful memory he has of her only to remember the bittersweet memories he had made on those 6 days.

I found Joanna Nivena was befitting for this role. Since She was Tony’s first fiance in 616

if you date tony there's a 90% chance he'll be anticipating the breakup at all times

[veryvincible]

Who is Tony Stark's true love? (I honestly am not into the MCU version of Tony and his toxic relationship with Pepper)

I can’t really give a better answer to this question than the ones I’ve seen before, namely Sineala’s.

He just... doesn’t really have one true love. He was engaged to Joanna Nivena at one point, which went awry because Iron Man, he was going to propose to Rumiko Fujikawa at one point, which went awry because Iron Man, I believe he was planning on spending the rest of his life with Bethany Cabe at one point (might be wrong about this one), which went awry because dead husbands are sometimes not dead, and...

The only thing I can really add that’s of use here is that he was also engaged to Marianne Rodgers, and that went awry because... Iron Man.

So he’s had a few different women throughout his decades of existence that he’s loved enough and felt secure enough with to want to marry, and... honestly, I feel like he could have gotten there with a lot of love interests, had things not gone awry because Iron Man, or... for other reasons.

And all of that only really counts if you’re assuming that the question of “Who is Tony Stark’s true love?” is the same thing as “Who would Tony Stark be happiest spending the rest of his life with?”, which doesn’t necessarily have to be the case. I mean, I think that’s how Tony would probably look at it-- the love of his life would just be... the person he’s spending his life with, but. I don’t think he’s the type to ever stop loving exes, at least not entirely. I think he can move past exes or (sometimes) recognize when his break-ups are for the better, but... I don’t know.

I think he’s one of those guys who doesn’t take a lot to fall in love, and part of me feels like he never 100% falls out of it (at least, not under normal-ish circumstances, since... some people have irked him hardcore in the end). I feel like saying he has any “true love” would be a little bit of a disservice to all the women it didn’t work out with before, especially knowing that he could have had the most wonderful lives with them had things gone a little better.

So, I don’t know. In my opinion, his “true love” is all those people he loved dearly that loved him back.

It's always nice to see Joanna Nivena mentions

Chronology of Tony’s secret identity

One of the things that often comes up in discussions of 616 Tony Stark is his secret identity. Unlike the MCU, where Tony's secret identity lasts only until the end of the first Iron Man movie, or the Ultimate universe, where it's never secret at all, one of the key traits of 616 Tony for a number of years is the fact that he maintained a secret identity: Tony Stark the CEO and Avengers benefactor and his bodyguard the Avenger Iron Man, were presented to the world as two different people.

Now, if you're a fan of Tony in the comics, none of the above is new to you. But what isn't always obvious, especially if your primary point of familiarity with Tony is other universes, is that coming out as a superhero isn't a one-and-done thing. He doesn't start out by making a big public announcement: some people figure it out over the years, some people find out, some people are told. But until he tells the world, it's still a secret. There are Avengers teams even within the past 25 years where some people know who he is and some people don't.

So I thought that it would be useful to compile a list of who learns Tony is Iron Man, and when they learn it. The list isn't complete -- and I certainly welcome additions and corrections -- and is currently limited to Tony's friends, romantic interests, and selected teammates (rather than supervillains). Basically, I just wanted to limit it to characters we might care about for fannish purposes, because I often find myself wondering if Character X knows at Time Y that Tony is Iron Man. A lot of these aren't traditional reveals in the sense you're probably picturing, in which Tony takes off his helmet; several of them are just people saying that they've figured it out. But I think they still count.

This is the raw data, ordered by year of reveal; I will then go through it with explanations as appropriate:

RETCONS:

Joanna Nivena (Iron Man v1 #224 (1989); retconned into origin story)

ORIGINAL CONTINUITY:

1965

Happy Hogan (Tales of Suspense v1 #70)

1973

Thor (Avengers v1 #113) Pepper Potts (Iron Man v1 #65)

1977

Whitney Frost (Iron Man v1 #104)

1980

Bethany Cabe (Iron Man v1 #139)

1982

Steve Rogers (Avengers v1 #216) Tigra (Avengers v1 #216) Silver Surfer (Avengers v1 #216) Janet Van Dyne (Avengers v1 #224)

1983

James "Rhodey" Rhodes (Iron Man v1 #169)

1985

Clint Barton (Iron Man v1 #193) Bobbi Morse (Iron Man v1 #193)

1998

Carol Danvers (Iron Man v3 #7)

1999

Selected friends & Avengers, again (Captain America & Iron Man 1998 Annual)

2002

Rumiko Fujikawa, and also the entire world (Iron Man v3 #55)

2006

The entire world, again (Civil War: Front Line #1)

The first identity reveal by internal chronology is actually from 1989; IM v1 #224 introduces, in flashback, a woman named Joanna Nivena whom Tony was engaged to, and who actually encouraged him to be Iron Man, and then promptly left him when she figured out that was his true calling. She is a retcon, and as far as I know she's a retcon that canon hasn't done much of anything with -- I think this is her only appearance -- but technically she's the first.

Discounting the retcons, as you can probably guess, Happy Hogan is the first person to find out that Tony is Iron Man. It happens in a relatively early ToS issue, ToS #70 (1965), in the middle of the Titanium Man fight. And if you're looking for it, it is so completely subtle that you will probably miss it. I missed it twice. Happy thinks to himself, "I'm gettin' a hunch why Stark is never around when Iron Man's on the scene! It's nutty... but it must be the answer!" Seriously, that's as much as it gets spelled out, but Happy knows. Of course, then he gets amnesia for a bit, but the amnesia goes away in ToS #83 (1966) and he remembers again.

At this point you might think to yourself that probably this means Pepper will find out soon. Ha. Ha. No. Pepper does not find out soon. In fact, Thor technically finds out before Pepper does, though it happens in the same year, 1973. There's this whole Happy/Pepper/Tony dynamic where Pepper has a thing for Tony and Tony keeps trying to push Pepper toward Happy because Tony believes in his own imminent death. And to help this along, he behaves coldly to her as Iron Man, meaning that Pepper thinks Iron Man is terrible and Tony is so great. The identity reveal, in IM v1 #65, actually happens when Pepper and Happy are fighting and Pepper says something about how Iron Man is so awful and Happy tells her that Tony and Iron Man are the same person and then shows her the armor in its case.

And then there's Thor! The Thor thing seems like it should be easy, but it isn't. In Avengers v1 #113 (1973), Vision is injured, and they need an engineer (Tony) and a doctor (Don Blake) to help him, and so Tony and Thor kind of mutually tip their hand to each other about their identity; it's a really sweet reveal. It's also completely retconned, in the same year, in the same title, in a story by the exact same writer -- in Avengers #118, the Avengers/Defenders War ends with Doctor Strange explicitly mindwiping Tony and Thor's knowledge of each other's identities out of each others' minds. The really weird thing is that this retcon doesn't seem to have stuck; Tony refers to Thor already knowing his identity in IM #108 (1978), and Thor already knows in the Molecule Man incident. Comics, man, I don't even know.

A bunch of Tony's romantic interests find out in the remainder of the 1970s and early 1980s. I don't have an issue number, but I know Marianne Rodgers figures it out pretty early on in their relationship, on account of being a telepath. Whitney Frost finds out in 1977, Iron Man v1 #104, when she becomes seriously romantically involved with Tony. (They first kissed way back in Iron Man v1 #19 (1969)... but she didn't know he was Iron Man, then.) Bethany Cabe finds out -- or rather, reveals to Whitney Frost that she'd already figured it out -- in 1980, in Iron Man v1 #139. She doesn't tell Tony she knows until Iron Man v1 #152, in 1981 -- they're captured and she urges him to change into Iron Man. (So, yeah, this means that while Demon in a Bottle is happening and Bethany is helping Tony get sober, she most likely doesn't know he's Iron Man.)

And then there's Avengers v1 #216, which I am sure we all already know about. The Molecule Man strips Tony out of his armor, meaning that his identity is revealed to Thor (who already knew), the Silver Surfer (who doesn't really seem to care), Tigra (who is leaving the team, but this will be relevant in a bit anyway)... and of course, Steve Rogers. Hi, Steve.

This is where it becomes important that Tony's secret identity is still a secret. No one he's told tells anyone else. Even now that some of the Avengers know, he doesn't, say, rush out and tell the rest of the Avengers that he's really Iron Man. Instead, in Avengers v1 #224, he starts dating Jan, and he doesn't tell her he's Iron Man. Steve and Thor both encourage him to tell her, and he does, at which point she breaks up with him because she doesn't want to date another teammate so soon after leaving Hank.

Then the second drinking arc happens, which is when we get a couple more identity reveals -- Rhodey and Clint, specifically. Rhodey finds out when Tony has started drinking again. Tony reveals his identity to Rhodey in IM v1 #179 (1983), and then he passes out in the armor and Rhodey puts it on and becomes Iron Man and goes off to fight the villain of the issue. After Tony eventually sobers up, he and Rhodey and the Erwins make their way to the West Coast. When Rhodey joins the brand-new WCA, Tigra is confused because she knew Tony was Iron Man and this guy isn't Tony, but it's all sorted out eventually. (Similarly, some of Tony's villains are confused when they run into Rhodey as Iron Man -- the Mandarin says he'd suspected Iron Man was Tony but now obviously he must have been wrong.) Anyway, Tony outs himself to Clint and Bobbi in Iron Man v1 #193 (1985); he suits up in his old armor to go talk to Clint, and when Clint doesn't trust him, unmasks himself as Tony Stark. And when Tony becomes Iron Man again, he eventually joins the WCA and stays in California.

After this... well, okay, after this is where my reading gets patchy, honestly.  Armor Wars happens, and Tony comes up with a fake identity for Iron Man and then fakes Iron Man's death at the end of it -- I think this was to fool SHIELD, but I know that Steve et al. still know who Tony is. I don't think there are a whole lot of big reveals, but I get the sense that Tony's identity eventually becomes basically an open secret in the superhero community. There's a panel somewhere from the 80s or early 90s where Natasha is thinking that they all know already and Tony should just tell them. Note that the general public still doesn't know; this is only among Tony's fellow heroes.

The latest individual reveal I know of is after volume 3 starts, when Tony reveals his identity to Carol in Iron Man v3 #7 (1998). It's the middle of the Live Kree Or Die arc, in which Carol has been kicked off the Avengers for her drinking problem. Tony shows up at her door as Iron Man and then decides that he can relate to her better in this case as Tony Stark, alcoholic. It's clearly new information to her.

And then there's the Captain America & Iron Man 1998 Annual, which actually came out in 1999, apparently. Tony cybernetically fights a villain named Mentallo. In the course of the fight, Mentallo learns Tony's secret identity, but when Tony wins he gets the chance to erase it from his mind, which he does. He then realizes he can erase it from everyone's minds. He's thinking of all the villains who have found out over the years -- he names Spymaster, The Controller, Molecule Man, and Machinesmith, and even I can add a few more to that list. (There's Kraken, at least, and the Mandarin definitely suspected.) So Tony wipes everyone's minds, including his friends'. But via the magic of Comic Science, if he retells them right away it will be like they never forgot. So he calls a meeting of a bunch of Avengers (Vision, Thor, Jan, Steve, Hank, Wanda, Simon -- and later Happy and Pepper) and tells them his identity again, and everyone takes it really well, except for Steve, who gets mad about having his mind wiped, which is the plot of the book. He says he's going to tell a few more people who "deserve the same courtesy" and mentions wanting to find Clint. I assume he retells most of the superhero community (or at least his friends), but this isn't explicitly stated.

And in 2002, in Iron Man v3 #55, Tony unmasks to save a puppy, and the entire world finds out he's Iron Man. (This includes Rumiko, who he's dating at the time.) He continues to have a public identity for the remainder of v3, but during everything that happens during Disassembled, he manages to successfully hide his identity once again and get the world as a whole believing that Tony and Iron Man are two different people.

Even during Disassembled, it's clear that the superhero community still knows who he is -- in Avengers Finale (2005), he assembles a bunch of familiar Avengers in the ruins of the mansion (he's in armor but unmasked -- which, y'know, that's a dead giveaway there) and tells them, "I was able to put the genie back in the bottle as far as my secret identity is concerned. Most people believe that Tony Stark and Iron Man are now two completely different people. I would never ask any of you to outright lie for me, but if it comes up -- if you could at least not say anything to contradict me. I would appreciate it."

So New Avengers kicks off and the team moves into the tower and so on and so forth and Tony keeps his superhero identity secret from the public until... 2006. Nope, it doesn't take long at all. Civil War kicks off and Tony unmasks at a press conference in Civil War: Front Line #1 so that he can, essentially, show he's not a hypocrite for supporting Registration. He pulls his helmet off and says, "Hello, my name is Tony Stark, and I am an alcoholic. And now it's time to come clean."

And that's the one that stuck. So after 2006, everyone knows Tony Stark is Iron Man. (Fun fact: after the brain deletion, Tony's not going to remember that he did this, so he ought to wake up still thinking he has a secret identity. I don't think canon has ever explored this fact.)

So there you have it: my best attempt at putting together a chronology of Tony's identity issues.

There's a lot about time travel that Steve Rogers does not understand, and a lot about her own time travelling abilities that Angel Stark doesn't understand...but they know that time is what brought them together. Can they navigate the world together, or are they destined in the end to live without each other in a different time line?

My Best Friend's Wedding

Read it on AO3

by jellybeanforest

Howard Stark pressures his son to marry the daughter of a fellow industrialist, socialite and heiress Joanna Nivena. Tony reluctantly agrees, but his best friend, Rhodey, disapproves because:

A: Tony isn’t a pawn in his father’s business plans, and B: Tony is gay.

He is not about to let Tony make the biggest mistake of his life. So, Rhodey takes him to Las Vegas for his bachelor party and hires the first male stripper Tony shows any interest in for a private dance in the back rooms.

Tony tried, God knew he tried, but Steve never granted him a benevolent thought. Things happened, amongst which the non-existent stripping and reveal by the Molecule Man, and Tony remained Mr. Stark. Iron Man was Steve's friend, and Mr. Stark... really wasn't. And Tony tried, he kept trying, but he was the only one to ever try, which meant it wasn't quite surprising when they ended up on two different sides and Captain America smashed broken his faceplate in front of the Baxter Building with the rage of the - self - righteous.
