Just a Broken Lullaby (Avengers | Gen | PG-13 | 20,095)
Author:
ratherastorySummary: When a mission goes wrong, the Avengers find themselves the unlikely guardians of a six-year-old Tony Stark.
Reasons for Reccing: I admit it: de-aging is a trope that I love when written well. This story is definitely written well. It's wonderful to see the team discover how much they care for Tony while he is a small child. The revelations in this fic are especially sweet. Natasha is the one who really sticks out to me. Her characterization in this story is beautiful. The author expressed fear that the schmoop might be over the top, but honestly, it worked for me. Sometimes you just need some schmoop in your life!
