#not dead Tony au

[star-stuckwithgay]

Need an AU where after everyone forgets Peter in NWH, instead of him staying a superhero, he doesn’t really have any reason to 𝓈𝓉𝒶𝓎 a superhero, so he becomes a villain and fights hero’s as a coping mechanism and to let all his anger out. Everyone is confused as to why Spiderman decided to switch with no reason behind it to their knowledge. But instead of Tony just dying, he was in a coma this whole time and because he was in the coma the spell didn’t effect him, and Tony is beyond confused as to why the news is saying Spiderman is fighting other avengers.

i made. an au.

newly graduated journalist tony becker spends most of his time trying to solve the infamous serial disappearances case. after running into multiple dead ends, he finally has a promising lead. unfortunately this ends up with him becoming a cult’s target. oh well.

[spookythesillyfella]

this is how colin sleeps at night . Each and Every Night.

[yourbustedkneecaps]

age swap au fic where everything is the same except that peter/spidey’s group switches with tony/iron man’s.

peter takes tony’s place. mj takes pepper’s. ned takes rhodey’s etc etc. “i am spider-man” press conference, tony sneaking out as iron man/becoming peter’s intern, may helping run the company, howard being a dick/owning a small business or smth — you get the gist

iron son and spider-dad i guess? tony (not lacking in intelligence) wanting to be as kind as peter and terrified of losing another good father figure in his life. peter “oh my fucking god kid if you’re not gonna stop at least let me show you the ropes” parker meeting tony during an expo/tour.

i want to see teen tony in high school desperately trying to be normal with his dad on his back about MIT and his tiny business or something. i want to see adult peter running a company with his besties and being loved as spider-man and trying so hard to help out some traumatized and angry kid in a rocket powered tin can.

this has tv show vibes to me in the best way

Sim Tony deciding to try and court the new superhero swinging around New York. Only he thinks that the best way to do this is to gift him the corpse of the man who killed his uncle. Hand wrapped of course.

TRIGUN WILD SEED AU

I’m cooking trigun fancomic [plantcest] plans. Here’s one sketch page from the five I shared on my behind-the-scenes art p!treon for supporters.

I’m going to have so much fun with this but there’s also going to be. A LOT of angst. Also, canon divergence, because it’s an AU based on a book.

News Au time!

🪲

“ANNNND ACTION!”

The camera started to record live.

“Ah- Alright well here on the grand line news today we’ll be talking about my other idiot brother! Portgas D. Ace the stubborn second devision commander of the White beard pirates! my dear stubborn brother is also somehow the oldest out of the three of us-“

“Sorry to interrupt but Lu, Marines!”

“Of course.”

Luffy turned around to see there was indeed a marine ship.

“Well. The show must go on!”

“ARE YOU SURE??”

“That’s our captain alright. Fufufu~”

A flash of pink hair was visible and tried to punch Luffy only to miss.

Luffy smashed the marine’s head into the ship and sat on the marine’s back

“Shishishi! Trying to catch me off guard eh, Koby?”

“Hmph! Wait… Please don’t tell me you’re still recording… Your brothers are gonna kill me…”

“You alwaaaays say that! And here you are risking it. Like you always do!”

Koby gave an annoyed groan at Luffy while Luffy laughs.

“You still need to pay us for that therapy lesson!”

“No way in hell Nami.”

Luffy gets up and back onto the screen as Koby and Nami bicker

“And now we have Nami and Koby bickering. And to let everyone know, Koby’s never paying for it. Why? Because he doesn’t want to. And as they’re doing that let’s-“

“NO!”

“YES YOU WILL!”

“IT WASN’T EVEN THERAPY! WE WERE LITERALLY JUST HANGING OUT-“

“THEN PAY ME 20% MORE!”

“You know what? At this point I should just make a show where I post about the dumb fights and arguments everyone I know does, This is the first episode Koby VS Nami who pays and who doesn’t get paid.”

Luffy looked at the camera unsurprised.

Usopp laughed a bit and turned the camera to the two fighting

“Wait Lu.”

“What’s up?”

Luffy looked at Zoro

“Isn’t Sabo going to visit?”

“They don’t have good history…”

“Shit.”

“You forgot didn’t you?”

“Yep- I forgot. Shiiiit-“

“You didn’t know Koby was coming around today.”

“That’s true.”

“But we’re all dead either way.”

Luffy looked at the water seeing blue fire

“Well. Looks like he’s definitely here.”

To be continued! next week- I hope you like waiting!

💔 BROKEN HEART — is there anyone in your life you wish you had a better relationship with? if so, how come? what makes this person important to you?

in-character chara dev questions!!

"Whoever I care - or don't care - about isn't any of your business though? Heck off."

"...Besides, it's not just a single person. It's my whole family. If I could just... if I wasn't so..." A frustrated pause. "Whatever. Forget it. Being a Harbinger should already disqualify me from being a 'good' or 'good enough' person anyway - that means if I've ruined my relationships with my family, that's only to be expected.

"And if my family still cares about me anyway—they really shouldn't. What sort of "loving" daughter am I if I don't actually try my best to see them? It's been more than seven years now and I haven't even replied to a single letter of theirs. I'm the one ruining any relationships I have and you know what, it's fine, perfectly fine! This is just fine! That's just how I am and I guess that's just how it will be—!"

.

(And for a world just a little to the side, a branch split away but not too far—)

.

"Though, if I could have a better relationship with anyone... I guess... my brother. One of them. That one.

"Now don't misunderstand me! Me and my big brother get along just fine if you ask me, all things considered. But I still don't like him compared to the rest of our family - and it's not because he's a bad person or anything! He's just, well. He's an—okay person, you know? He's fine! But... for the most part, his personality...

"No, it's not even that actually. It's his... attitude. That's right, his stupid attitude to everything! To fighting, specifically. Like why does he want to fight everything, and so much? What the hell is he trying to prove? What does he need to prove? Like, what the hell! What's wrong with him! There shouldn't be any need to go to all the deranged lengths that he does for so many difficult fights and like—argh!"

A frustrated foot stomp. "Why? Why! We were literally fighting for our lives down in that stupid place and we barely managed to get back home in one piece, much less together! And then he goes around pitching fights at whatever like, what broke in his stupid little brain, huh? Why won't he just sit down and eat some god damn bread and go fishing and not fight everything like a normal person?! Ughhh!!

"If he just weren't so—so stupid!! Dummy head! Idiot! He's so stupid dummy idiot head that I can only chase after him and make sure he isn't tripping back into hell because he's just that much of a dummy! And then, he has the gall to say I should stay at home with Mama and everyone else, spouting my arguments against me! Dummy! Fuck that!

"If he's going to keep being this way, I'm not going home until he goes home, and if one of us has to stay in this stupid job, it's not going to be him! And if he wants to complain about it, then he should have listened to me the first time and become a fisherman instead!"

[shevaults]

i haven't put a lot of serious thought into nora's modern au's, but i definitely think not having nate die in one of them and instead having nora and nate get divorced only for nate to find out his favourite video game streamer (hancock) is streaming from his old living room is pretty funny

[hearts401]

Ayo if you wanna ramble about your AU lore I am all ears :] (I can message you if you don’t wanna post spoilers or smth, but personally I sometimes just have to Get Out the thoughts to get things done!! Plus I just love listening to people talk about their ideas!!)

no worries abt spoilers since its just a silly thing lol

uhh basically Gregory, who goes by GGY, is a known hacker. since their government runs with robots and tech, he's good at causing trouble. he's like a 10x wanted criminal and ive considered aging the kids up to 15/16 for convenience but im not 100% on that idea!! he lives in a broken down falling apart house and builds robots with pieces he steals from security bots in the city. he made freddy, bonnie, monty, and chica (Roxy+foxy will come later u'll see) but they all got messed up, monty, while glitched, killed bonnie, so gregory kinda hid them away? he put them in a room basically. he continued trying to find out what was going on, and decided to shut freddy down until he knew what this glitch was.

boots, or ellis, is a kid who used to live with his close friend tony, who went missing under mysterious circumstances, and now hes on his own with his own animatronic that he and tony built together, foxy. he wants to figure out what happened to tony and connected the dots to ggy and his hacking. (He doesnt know gregory is ggy) he goes by Boots to hide because him and tony have done some kinda sorta illegal stuff while investigating the robots n shit

Cassie is a girl who lives with an animatronic her dad made for her named roxy. herfather also went missing similar to tony, and shes trying to find him + her friend gregory who also went missing. she goes by One because she thinks the robots took her dad and will come for her next.

they meet when One and Boots run into each other while running from security bots and they seek out GGY for help. GGY points them towards gregory's address and gregory offers his help, but Boots is hesitant to trust him (because he doesnt trust GGY) and One is suspicious of gregory's disappearance. when they have a rough run in with the security bots and get captured, Gregory comes to save them with freddy.

vanessa+vanny are in this, glitchtrap and the mimic are, there's a ton of stuff and there's more kinks im workin out but thats it overall

[the-faultofdaedalus]

it’s about

robot iron man post-tony death semi-unintentionally pretending to be a human person because it doesn’t know how to do anything else and doesn’t want the people it cares about to know it isn’t anything at all 🤝 tony stark iron man pretending to be a robot so he doesn’t have to let his teammates know he’s just a flawed and fragile human who could die at literally any time because of his heart

[cowboyhorsegirl]

But does robot iron man’s voice still sound like Tony’s through a modulator???

[hershelwidget]

I’m gonna be honest I forgot what I was going for three times through the making of this

Uh!! In the 3 of Everyone AU, two of the clocks get like. Attached to Neutral Colin. Like. VERY attached. We’re talking seeing all three of them in the same room at the same time but two of them are following the third.

I’m not sure what I wanna do for the other two Colin’s, maybe I’ll whip up something for one of them with Dusty Tony and leave the outlier for any other fun dynamics.

[spookythesillyfella]

i really love them and i needed to redraw those two photos that kessoku band took because erm silly :3

★ [ original frames under cut ]

[starker-sorbet]

After one too many missions with avoidable casualties under Roger's 'skillful' leadership with the ever annoying placation of 'You can't save everybody Tony' cause Tony and Peter to finally decide it's time for a change in the Avenger's roster. A permanent one.

And so the pair put their plan into motion to destroy their fellow Avengers. With Peter in place to monitor the Avengers as they go about their day while Tony spends his time taking over the compounds defences in preparation for them to make their move, all that's needed is for the Avengers to be in one place together so that Peter can lock any doors behind them and let then to the compromised defences and newly reprogrammed iron legion eliminate the lot of them.

Without Tony and Peter having to even lift a finger against the Avengers themselves. Simple and easy to write off their deaths as collateral damage due to a new villain in town. Such a same Tony and Peter weren't there but were on a date at the time, but as Rogers says 'You can't save everybody'.

Read below or on AO3 >HERE<

Tony strains against the men holding him in place as he is marched through the caves. Feinting stumbling on the uneven surface to try to pull himself free.

It stung. He was better than this. Better than to lose to these backward 'freedom fighters'.

He should have been the one to beat them. Not the other way around. Fuck them.

Though it mightn't be for naught. Up close, he can catch details. Identify them. 

Barton was not much of a shock. Figures that when SHIELD went down, he'd look for new employment. Why not sign up with the group that took down your previous employer. It was a sign of strength and intelligence, as his mentor Stane would say.

The other guy was more of a shock.

The Asset. HYDRA was looking for their favorite tool. Worried it had gotten damaged and was left somewhere rotting. There would be only so much they could do to reverse the damage of decay if they found him too late. HYDRA was spending a lot of resources looking for their Winter Soldier, even reaching out to Tony, not wanting it to fall into others' hands.

It had apparently. 

One final bend in the cave takes them to the resistance leader. There, the man sits, leaning back on his throne. Unbothered. Running his fingers of his right hand through the fur of his open collar. His bare chest was exposed to the cold damp air of the cave.

The throne he sat on was made of bone, antlers, and broken bits of tree. It was a little naturalistic for his tastes, but he could appreciate that the man had a theme.

While several theories were floating around on the various identities of the pseudo-military resistance band. Nothing was known about 'the Nomad'. No voting history. No medical records to be found. No SAT scores. Nothing. To all intents and purposes, the Nomad had just walked out of a forest and into their world.

Barton and HYDRA's stolen toy shoved him to his knees in front of the Nomad. His knees cry out at the sudden shock. Tony bites back a groan of pain, not wanting to give the bastard in front of him the satisfaction.

The Nomad stares him down with a hard expression, meeting Tony's eyes unflinchingly. Almost unblinkingly. Making something deep within Tony squirm.

There was something off about the man. Something deeply wrong and unnatural... despite his outward aesthetic.

Uncomfortable, Tony draws his attention elsewhere. To the feeling of warm blood, pooling around his knees. Focusing on the shame that this man and his lackeys had made him bleed. Turning it into anger.

Tony looks around the space, looking for something that might allow him to escape or gain an advantage.

He then notices the skulls. Thousands of them piled up around and behind the throne. Not the odd misshapen rocks and bits of debris he'd thought them to be initially.

Looking at them, he notices that carved into each of the skulls is the organization they had belonged to. 

The Nomad shifts, grabbing the skull that rested under his right elbow and from his belt a knife. He starts carving. 

The skull is fresh, Tony realizes. The bone hadn't fully dried nor been in contact with the air for long. 

"General Ross' head of security is dead." The Nomad states, curt and sudden. Causing Tony to jump slightly. 

Tony snarls. 

"He's currently vetting their replacement, who will kill him," Nomad continues, matter of fact.

"And? Do you think I can't stop you? That I can't work out who your plant is?" Tony says, "Telling me was a mistake. I'll get out of here and flush your rat out of the system."

Nomad gives a sharp grin that quickly disappears. "It didn't matter if I told you or not. It will happen."

"Your overconfidence..."

"Certainty."

"Oh, fuck off."

"There is no 'rat' for you to flush, Mr Stark. There is no fault in the system that you can fix. It doesn't matter who is chosen. They will kill General Ross when they take the job."

Tony stills. Trying to work out how that fuck that could be possible. Coming up empty.

Nomad blows on the skull, throwing dust into the air. Rubbing the carving with his thumb as he inspects it. 

He turns the skull around to face Tony. On its forehead is written "SHRAAVC"

"I would have thought, given your reputation, that you'd have come up with a better acronym." The man grabs one of the two skulls sitting on the throne beside his left knee. 

Tony scoffs. "Yeah, well. It was shorter. But then, people were stupid and wouldn't obey. So, a new section was added to bring order to the world."

"I thought that was the excuse you gave for the original," Nomad says, focused on his carving. 

Tony glares... to the man's complete disregard.

"I suppose I shouldn't be all too surprised. HYDRA was never that original," Nomad flicks away a chip from the bone as he talks. Not even looking up at Tony. As if his creepy little work of art was more important.

"No, they're not," Tony says, "But they're useful if you need to move a piano or a dead body or slip something through the parliament."

The skull is turned around. Carved into its forehead is the logo for Stark Industries. 

Cold floods through Tony. 

"I doubt I need to explain," Nomad says.

"So, I'll supposedly be dead soon?" Tony scoffs. More angry at the spark of fear ignited within his chest than at Nomad, but directing the anger at the man anyway.

The man picks up the last skull. Chunks of flesh are still hung from the bottom. Giggling slightly as begins carving away at it.

"You think that you'd be able to get somebody past my system-"

"Already did, pal," Nomad says, sounding bored.

Tony ignores him. "And then you'd, what? Somehow manage to kill me? Why not try to kill me now, while you have me? You'll stand a better chance here. But then, I'd love to see you fail. 'Never interrupt as your enemies make a mistake' and all that."

The Nomad gives a non-committal hum. Unbothered and unconcerned. "I've already succeeded. You, Mr Stark, were not our target. We already got what we wanted from your inner circle."

Tony's world freezes. For a short moment, all he can hear is a high-pitched buzzing in his head. Everything feels like it is tilting left. Slipping out of alignment. Wrong. Nothing making any sense.

'What?'

That can't be true. It had to be a lie. A trick or something.  Or a fortuitous stroke of fucking luck on their part.

There's no way...

"What?" he says. The word feeling thick and heavy in his mouth.

Nomad turns the skull around. Book-ending the engraved Stark Industries logo is two stars.

"Obediah Stane. Your mentor. The man who has the ear of Iron Man."

"Fuck you!" Tony shouts. He pulls himself back quickly. "I was going to kill him anyway." True. But he had wanted to see the look of pride in the man's eyes as he killed him.

"I don't doubt it. But who will you confide in now? Who will give you direction now?"

Nomad gets up from the throne and walks over to a shelf carved into the wall. Nearly a dozen heads sit there proudly, all engraved with the insignia of the organization they led. Stane is placed beside Pierce. 

"We're not looking to kill you if you could help us... how'd you put it; move a piano? Shift dead bodies," Nomad says.

"Why'd you think I'd help you?"

"I believe that, deep down, you are better than what you've become."

"Oh, great. Good-ie!" Who the hell does he believe he is? Some bloody saint? Tony rolls his eyes. The man is gorgeous, but nobody is pretty enough to pull this bullshit. "Look, I bill by the minute. You don't look like you have cash, and I'm not taking payment in skulls. But I'll settle for blood. Yours, preferably." 

He'll be the one who brings the world the Nomad's head on a platter. He'll get the credit for unmasking him, as it were.

The Nomad states at him over his shoulder, then laughs. 

Slowly, the man begins making his way over. 

"You may not believe. But I do." Nomad says. "My faith's always been in people. And I choose to believe in you. Underneath the rot, there's good in there." Nomad crouches in front of Tony.

Tony scoffs. Then meets his eyes.

His body freezes in place.

'Those eyes.'

'No.'

Tony frantically searches the man's face. Things snapping into place... making sense suddenly.

'Oh, God.'

The beard does a lot to hide him.

"Those I choose to trust never let me down," the man says. "Don't worry. You won't wonder the path of recovery and redemption alone."

Captain fucking America then holds his hand out for Tony to take.

THE END
