Accidental victim blaming and Tony whump
You guys, I think Endgame broke me and now I need some Tony angst with a happy ending. I'm sure this has been requested a million times but this is a huge fandom so I'm hoping there's still plenty to rec.
1) I need to read some accidental victim blaming fic. Where the team thinks Tony is going back to his old reckless, alcoholic, playboy ways and confront him without realizing he's really trying to cope with some sort of new trauma. Abuse, rape/noncon, sexual harrassment, torture, etc. Basically the team being judgemental assholes, accidentally reinforcing Tony's shitty self esteem and belief that it was his fault, then finding out the truth and doing their best to rally around him. Happy endings please! Bonus points if one or more of the Avengers track down Tony's attacker and kick his ass. Slash, het, gen all welcome. I just read https://archiveofourown.org/works/422172/chapters/704413
2) Similarly, I love fics where the Avengers find out that Tony's childhood was not as sweet and priveledged as they thought. Maybe Tony gets deaged or they find videos of kid Tony being held for ransom, or something. Basically I want defensive "I'm totally fine, thank you, fuck off" Tony and horrified, protective team. Bonus points if Cap lectures Tony, comparing him to Howard, only to find out that Howard was an abusive asshole.
