Warnings: Mentions of PTSD, but no standard AO3 warnings apply.
Summary: Pepper Potts, Tony Stark, and Bruce Banner are all, well, not completely mentally healthy people. But it takes less time than one might think for them all to end up together. At the same time, the Avengers manage to reassemble as a team, rather than just as people. Pepper's there for all of it.
Author's Notes: Thanks are due to
boosette and
adorb_eggplant for beta work--without them, the story would make much less sense due to my idiosyncratic views on characters and (mis)use of the language. Also, I stole a line directly from an email trail with
boosette and forgot to ask her if I could use it so, uh. I ♥ you! I'd also like to thank to
feels_like_fire and
thescarletwoman for listening to me gripe, and of course to the
marvel_bang mods for putting the fest together.
Title is from Fred Eaglesmith's "Wilder Than Her": She takes the distance / breaks it into miles / she makes my life / a little less wild.
I've eaten some details from the comics and regurgitated them but it is basically set in the movie-'verse.
