Summary: Tony Stark finds himself becoming a de-aged Loki Odinsson's temporarily designated parental figure, through no fault of his own. Responsible superhero co-parenting doesn't just involve feeding, housing and clothing a tiny Asgardian, it involves rubber ducks, transdimensional vortexes at bathtime, fruit parties, pictures of robots that draw other robots and hoverboards (eventually), as the team keep Loki safe while they look for a solution.
Notes: I am indebted to
tipitina, whose idea this originally was, and whose wonderful art and encouragement throughout have made this fic an absolute joy to write. I am also indebted to the mods of the Avengers Reverse Big Bang, who set this whole thing off. I've had a blast. This story would be a heck of a lot worse without the betaing skills of
bananahater336, whose insightful and kind comments and patience and tolerance as I piled more words on have helped me immensely. Thank you, all of you.
