Tony's Basically Emotionally Stable. No, Really. anonymous September 8 2012, 04:18:14 UTC

Tony's been through a lot, but between JARVIS, Pepper, Happy - and now his fellow Avengers - he actually has a pretty good sense of family and belonging to a set of people he can trust. In his own way, he's dealt with his memories of Howard, and the events of IM1. He might wrangle nuclear bombs, and do crazy, eccentric things, but that's just Tony There'd be something wrong with him if he didn't do crazy, eccentric things.. He's actually got his head on straight. Or at least a whole lot straighter than any of the rest of the Avengers.

Basically, I want Tony the anti!woobie. He's not just arrogant and brash as some kind of masquerade, because he's plagued by insecurities. He's confident, because he's faced his demons, and he knows where he stands.

I'd love to see a bit of the team coming to rely on him emotionally/Tony being the best at cheering up his teammates.

I am in dire need of this! I mean, Tony's definitely got some issues don't get me wrong, but his issues are waaaaaaayyy less debilitating than all the other Avengers' issues by the end of the film. He's proven to himself he's a hero, he's gotten a dose of humility and from the fact that he's designing the Avengers their own floors in his tower and planning to invite them to live there, he's definitely gotten around to stopping his lone wolf behavior.

Plus, he's got an awesome girlfriend, a steady, successful job, and friends outside of the Avengers. The other Avengers are people who a) have spent years being fugitives from the law, b) have lost not only everyone they ever knew, but their entire world as they knew it AND probably have combat-related PTSD to boot, c) have had their little brothers go evil and try to kill people, d) been brutally mindraped and forced to kill their coworkers, and e) are trained-from-birth ex-villains who haven't finished atoning for their sins yet.

OP

Exactly my mind. :DDD

Bruce, Reclusive, 5+1 anonymous September 8 2012, 15:21:18 UTC

Five times Bruce was a hermit and hid himself away in his lab, and one time his friends forced him to come out of the lab and have fun as a team.

Bonus points for an emphasis on Bruce and Tony friendship (maybe Tony heading up Operation: Make Bruce Have Fun :D)

Avengers Halloween Party marienomad September 8 2012, 15:41:09 UTC

The Avengers throw a Halloween Party. Make it fun and throw a bit of mystery into it by having the characters in costume and name them by their costumed names and the reader gets to guess who is who.

No supervillians crashing! Loki too!

Steve deals with the loss of the serum semiseverus September 8 2012, 16:56:13 UTC

Post-Avengers, Steve somehow returns to his smaller self. There's no way to fix it - nobody knows the formula, and Bruce's attempt at making it ended up disastrously. So Steve has to adjust to a life in the modern world again, this time without the benefit of the serum.

Does he conclude that his usefulness to his country is pretty much over, and head to art school? Does he stay on at SHIELD as some sort of consultant but ultimately is unhappy there because he misses the way things were? How does he deal with modern medicine's fixes for his health problems?

I'm working on a response to this! But the muse hasn't quite grasped the concept that this is supposed to be a comment fic, so it may take me a bit.

Re: Steve deals with the loss of the serum semiseverus September 10 2012, 16:27:09 UTC

Sweet, thanks! :D

Woo! Finally done. Fic is...not comment fic length, let's put it that way. Here's the link: http://claudiapriscus.livejournal.com/92953.html

It went a little sideways from the original prompt when I started writing it, no matter how much I tried to put it back on track, I hope that is okay.

:D Gotta love Romola.

It's hysterical imagining the varying degrees of Nightmare Toddler a bad cold/bout of flu would turn each of the Avengers into. Tony obviously stands out as Worst Patient Ever...but, yeah, I can totally see Natasha being over on the other end of the spectrum, where she refuses to admit she's sick to begin with. ^^
