Title: Found the Heart of a Lion (in the Belly of the Beast)
Author: sailwithoutwind
Fandoms: Marvel, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3, Captain America: The First Avenger, The Avengers (2012)
Canon: MCU & 616
Rating: R
Pairings: Tony Stark/Pepper Potts, Tony Stark/Steve Rogers, Howard Stark/Maria Stark, Clint Barton/Phil Coulson, Tony Stark & James Rhodes, Tony Stark & Edwin Jarvis, Tony Stark & JARVIS
Characters: Tony Stark, Edwin Jarvis, Peggy Carter, James "Rhodey" Rhodes, Obadiah Stane, Howard Stark, Maria Stark, Ho Yinsen, Pepper Potts, Nick Fury, Natasha Romanov, Phil Coulson, Happy Hogan, JARVIS, DUM-E, U, Butterfingers, James "Bucky" Barnes, Steve Rogers, Bruce Banner, Clint Barton, Loki
Summary: In 1999, Tony Stark is twenty-eight and cocky, and it’s entirely possible he’s been drunk for the better part of the last thirteen years. “I’ll see you up on the roof in five minutes,” he says to a man whose name he doesn’t bother remembering. It’s a promise he has no intention of keeping, and he’s never had patience for overweening fans.
Talk about things coming back to bite you in the arse.
Or: The Iron Man Origin Story, in which Tony Stark builds himself some friends and trips over a family.
Spans from Tony's childhood through to 2013; all relationships are background, Clint/Coulson is blink-and-you'd-miss-it, and Steve/Tony can be read as platonic.
Disclaimer: They are not mine. If you thought they were, you either have intel I want or need more help than I thought.
Notes: Written for the 2014 Avengers Reverse Big Bang, based on wildfreehearts' incredible video.
Title from Grace Potter & the Nocturnals’ “The Lion the Beast the Beat”. Please see the fic itself and second "chapter" for all additional notes.
Word Count: 21,740
Warnings: mentions of torture (e.g. Iron Man); PTSD; anxiety/panic attacks; suggestions of neglect/verbal abuse; canonical character death; violence (not exceeding film portrayals); physical, chronic health issues
( He’s Tony Stark: he’ll keep poking the bear with a stick even when it’s actively eating him. )
