“Who asked you, Captain Chastity?” Tony mutters.

Nine little (well, eight little and one stupid large) Avengers AU drabbles
Bruce/Tony
No Force in the Universe Can Stop Me by notbeloved07
In an AU, instead of taking out Tony’s arc-reactor, Obadiah Stane kidnapped Tony, faked his death in a “lab accident”, imprisoned him, and forced him to design weapons for Stane.
Bruce is going about his day hacking Stark Industries to learn more about the Hulkbuster weapons when he comes across some discrepancies in the code-subtle things, like inefficient loops in otherwise streamlined code, bizarre variable names…
More Than Nothing by Sonora
A rescue mission gone horribly wrong leaves the team stranded in a mine shaft with a seriously wounded Bruce and a frantic Tony. As Tony races to find a way to save Bruce’s life, he finds himself re-evaluating the nature of their relationship, and what he really wants from it.
*cries*
Five Times Synaesthesia Was a Problem For Tony Stark… by Sonora
Tony struggles to deal with his synaesthesia most of his adult life. Can he ever find somebody who understands what he’s dealing with? Written for this prompt on avengerkink.
Isnt’ this fic already mentioned in the Sicne Bros’ rec? oh well, if it’s not, it should.
Pieces by Sonora
On the anniversary of Obadiah Stane’s death, all the team wants to do is offer Tony some comfort. But he doesn’t react the way they expect. Bruce - and the Hulk - want to know why.
It’s a bit corny at times, but I like the idea of Tony finally opening up to someone.
I Don’t Want to Hurt You (But I Don’t Know How to Stop) by shellheaded
Bruce has issues. Tony makes him angry.
Also known as the fic whhich explains that just because you love someone, and that someone loves you back, doesn’t mean it’s a healthy relationship.
Clint/Phil
As It Is Written by hoosierbitch
The first time the teachers send a note home with Clint, about his problems, about how he’s dumber than the other kids, his dad’s not angry. He just laughs, which, Clint realizes, isn’t actually better
Steve/Howard
The Family I Never Asked For by Pookaseraph
In the wake of the Chitauri invasion, Steve sheds more light on the situation than Tony ever really wanted. Tony is forced to confront the fact that Howard and Steve had been in a relationship, loved each other even, and he doesn’t know how to deal; Steve’s been thrown into a future where his lover is dead and accidentally left him a son.
It’s an endearing tale and I encourage you to read it for two simple facts, one is Steve side and about how much he loved Howard, the other is Tony’s brain having a short circuit for all the SteveXHoward issue.
Steve/Natasha
American and Russian Relations in the 21st Century by Margo_Kim
Written for the Avengers kinkmeme: An outsider perspective on Steve’s new relationship. Darcy thinks there’s something funny about Steve and Natasha’s new relationship. Erik and Jane think she’s crazy.
Without the Usual Cost of Labor by vain_glorious
“Someone just reported to SHIELD that whatever was stolen produced “viable offspring,” and we’re hoping that doesn’t mean what we think it does,” Bruce says, evidently deciding to take over for Tony after only one masturbation joke.
So I wasn’t sure whether to put this here or in the Gen section… ‘cause there’s a baby in this story, and a sort of couple, except no sexytimes in sight. :P
Steve/OMC
When the Lights Come On Again by Anon
Steve Rogers as the Star-Spangled Man was just as much of a sex object as the chorus girls in his show
Steve/Bucky
Medvezhonok by lanyon (Steve/Bucky but only slightly at the end)
The Winter Soldier is on the run and no one is more surprised than he is by the fact that he is accompanied by a little boy who seems convinced that he is his father:
“What’s that, Papa?”
Papa flinches and looks at Stefan. “It’s called a Kalashnikov,” he says, in a strange voice. “You’re not to touch it, okay?”
Steve/Tony
And I'll Be Your Man by AvocadoLove
Tony escaped Afghanistan with a bad knee and a heart too damaged to hold up to strain. But he's been given a second chance, and isn't going to waste it. If he can't pilot Iron Man, he'll find someone who will.
(Based on the Kink_Meme prompt: Iron Man and Tony Stark are not pretending to be different people, they actually are different people. Iron Man is actually modern born Skinny!Steve.)
If I Only Could by miscreantblueberry
SHIELD Agent Steve Rogers meets Tony Stark, a barista at Malibu Point Coffee Bar, and is smitten. Only, he can't tell Tony what he does for a living. Keeping secrets eventually puts Tony in danger with SHIELD enemies, but Tony has a few secrets himself.
The One Left Stranded by somanyfeels
Six year old Tony Stark couldn't do anything but watch as strangers break into his home and try to force their way into Howard's workshop. When their plans failed they took Tony with them and hoped he was worth something.
True Love, Deconstructed by tartan_suitcase (miss_whimsy)
Howard Stark revolutionized romance by inventing a timer that would count down to the moment you met your soul mate.
Tony Stark's timer has never shown a number and after forty years he's given up one finding a soul mate.
Enter Captain America.
Oxidation by paxnirvana
Terrorists develop a riot-inducing spray that has unexpected effects on America’s only Super Soldier.
many names in history, none of them are ours by aubkae
Steve’s not sure if he’ll ever understand Tony Stark, but it’s good, living here. If he still wakes up sometimes convinced this was all a dream, well, it’s better than it was before, and that’s something, isn’t it?
The Avengers live in a world that both glorifies and fears them, but they know each other now behind the scenes.
Gastronome by scrapbullet
“Y’know, you need to eat more,” Toni hums.
The Mission Series by missbecky
And I’d Buy A Big House Where We Both Could Live by shinkonokokoro
Missing: Tony Stark, billionaire businessman, heir to Stark Industries, reward: none
Only Steve didn’t know that when he picked up the waterlogged unconscious man from the bank of a river.
The World That Forgot Tony Stark by shinkonokokoro
There’s a reason Tony hates magic. And it’s a good one. He’s never been so glad for the fanfare his name has caused. Because it means the world knows him. Unlike this one.
Kind and courteous is a life i’ve heard by quixotesque
Bonding doesn’t have to change anything. Tony Stark doesn’t adhere to those rules anymore. (The terrible truth, of course, is that he can’t, really, being the broken, miserable thing that he is.)
A WIP for the avengers kink meme.
Lie There and Breathe by peppermintchild
D/s World AU. Tony was Obadiah’s abused Sub since he was a teenager, something that even after Obadiah’s death no one knew about. Tony doesn’t know how to be in a healthy relationship and is terrified of having another bad one, so he decides that he’ll simply remain on his own; lonely, but giving himself the feeling of safety that was beaten out of him for twenty-odd years. Then he meets Captain America and the two of them Bond; Steve is ecstatic, Tony has a breakdown.
Take This by Arkada
Very, very few people are allowed to hand things to Tony Stark. Steve has to fight to become one of them, and in the process, becomes something more.
The ending was unnecessary, but oh well… that’s my POV; you decide.
Only Moreso by ageofalejandro
Tony Stark’s decades-long struggle with Bipolar II
Shadow in the Stream by Azul_Bleu
Caught in the grips of spectacular hangovers, the Avengers wish Tony wasn’t around to enable them, and a power decides to grant them their wish: a world without Tony Stark. How do you change reality back to normal without your resident genius billionaire playboy philanthropist, anyway?
I’ve been busy (growing old) by Anon
There is easily a 20 year age gap between the Tony and Steve. This doesn’t bother them.
Man Out of Time, Remixed by CrunchySalad
Steve, newly defrosted, struggles with the modern world and his guilt over not being able to save Bucky. Tony still has nightmares about Afghanistan and Ho Yinsen. They get into a relationship that has problems from the get go, but that doesn’t mean they won’t give it a shot.
Run Program: DUM-E by Amuly
Taking care of Tony is a lot of work. Especially when you’ve only got one arm. And your code dates back to the 1980s
Tony/Bucky
Baptized in Fire by NonoLeMog
Luckily, after what could only have been a few hours - it had felt like weeks, but the sun was still high in the sky - the sound of helicopter blades turning sounded from above. A black helicopter was headed straight for him. Relief swept his body. He took one feeble step, staggered, and fell to his knees.
Before the helicopter could land, a dark-haired man jumped out, onto the sand in front of him. With military-like posture, he stalked towards Tony.
Wait. Is his arm metal? Who is this guy?
Tony/Avengers
Habits by Sonora
In an alternate universe where super-heroes don’t exist, Tony Stark finds himself playing sugar daddy to all the Avengers. He collects them and brings them home and does anything he can for them and lets them go when they’re ready to face the world again. Which is okay, he knows, because they always find their way back to him in the end.
Leave me alone, I love this fic…for reasons unknown to me.
Tony/Loki
Bend Around the Wind by Scyllaya
A few months after the battle of New York the God Loki appears back on Stark Tower under chaotic circumstances. This time however he is on the run. Tony Stark gets caught up in the crossfire and is taken along with the Aesir. Can the two of them ever make truce in order to get away? And even if they do, how does one escape from such a dark corner of the universe, when they are so very far away from the Nine Realms, that not even Loki knows the way back home. But first, they need to survive.
Two Hearts From Hell. by Frostiron_OTP
Two years after the capture of Loki on Midgard, the death of Odin resulted in the crowning of Thor and the return of Loki from his exile. Unfortunately for Loki, he had preferred exile to Asgard and became stuck with the limbo-life he'd never wanted. However, when chaos erupts during Thor's two-year anniversary, Loki finds himself lost from Asgard with Tony Stark and without answers. And with more and more incidents in each of the realms occurring when they shouldn't, the both of them land on a journey neither had imagined themselves to be in. Where most of the time they're just trying to survive, and were probably both just in the wrong place at the right time.
Beauty from Pain by Frostiron_OTP
When Loki forcefully claims Tony as his Omega, Tony's life steadily gets worse from the moment it all began. In perfect accordance to any Omega-Alpha-bonding laws, Loki is completely in his right to keep Tony and all his possessions, which makes a 'rescue' a criminal offence; despite just who it is, Tony is bonded to.
But, as Loki's brutal treatment slowly erodes Tony's self-worth, things aren't what they seem and there's a mystery to this house that seems connected to Omega's and - mainly - to the both of them as well.
To say I do, is to say Goodbye. by Frostiron_OTP
Born with the Carrier gene, Tony Stark is seen by Asgard as a rare gem. And, as those with this gene cannot reproduce unless they have intercourse with a member of the same sex, Howard's need for his company/family line to continue overwhelms him and he agrees to a marital bond between Tony Stark and Thor Odinson. Without consulting his son first.
But then, on the actual wedding day, Odin surprisingly changes his mind about which of his sons he wants to marry Tony, and Oh, God.
Tony's heard a whole load of rumors about this Loki, God of Trickery ...
Tony/OMC
Marriage by Anon
Tony got married at 18 to some rich, strong, powerful guy. The marriage was arranged by their parents. It was never a happy marriage.
Nothing Important by shellheaded
They broke up because Tony said he cheated. Someone forgot to tell Tony that rape isn’t counted as cheating.
:_;
Thor/Loki
Two Princes / Learning How to Crawl by Sans_Souci
Fish-out-of-water story. AU. Banished to Midgard for ages, Thor and Loki are not happy campers. Or even happily married for that matter. But they still hold true to their oaths.
