I hope you will enjoy this fill, I tried my hardest. :) Please excuse my English, it's not my native tongue.

"Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance" [Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice]One late November Tony Stark (finally!) has a business meeting in Las Vegas and he damn well makes sure to go on a week long-vacation afterward. No business, no heroics, just plain old gamble-and-drink fun with all the prettiest ladies in town ( ... )

And it really was a great week. They played just about everything there is to play in Vegas (and mind you, Loki is a devil at poker; he shall never, ever play with him), went to a Cirque du Soleil and some other shows, hell, they even visited the Grand Canyon. Tony decides that were he not Ironman and Loki a villainous prankster of Thor's, they would be the greatest friends ever. (And the universe would fear their united diabolical mind - he is amazed that whether it's a prank or biological engineering, Loki and he are in sync . It happens often that he starts a thought and doesn't even need to say half of it because the other knows what he is talking about; gods, it's so amazing talking to someone of his own intellectual size ( ... )

Marriage is a hand grenade with the pin out. You hold your breath waiting for the explosion -Abraham RothbergTony awakes with an average hangover and a soft warmness at his side. Squeezing his eyes shut, he tries to recall the date, his social security number, and the number of drinks he had last night. (He is an engineer, numbers are good for him ( ... )

The first day of their marriage passes separately, Tony at meetings and a demonstration, Loki… hell, he has no idea what Loki does. Birds sing (oh wait, sun shines would be better because than it would be an alliteration), bees buzz, Loki lies? He does not even know how to reach him. Does Loki even want him to reach him? He seemed to take their holy matrimony rather seriously at breakfast - he supposes that's the asgardian way of life, or at least he imagines it as rather traditional (note to self, interrogate Thor later).

And what on Earth will he do then? He can't exactly move him into the Malibu villa, now Avengers HQ… but buying a house for him feels like keeping a mistress. (Tony slaps his forehead - is he taking this marriage seriously too?! No, no, he says as he smooths over his beard, he is simply not being a jerk. Not the same. Let things calm down a bit, then he'll talk about the divorce ( ... )

"A happy marriage is a long conversation which always seems too short" [André Maurois Memories]They go to a very chic italian restaurant that has a private room Tony likes for it's atmosphere, and he knows they have good quality wine; he sees Loki beginning to shapeshift in the car, and he frowns ( ... )

It turns out Loki has a place of his own.

Which he really should have thought he does, but he just never imagined the supervillain they've been fighting cooking eggs in a small bachelor apartment roof-studio. It's not even all hyper-designed black and green, more… sort of soft whites and other colors. Nothing too blaring, and Tony knows it's all probably second-hand, however tidy and carefully chosen. There isn't much, just the necessities for having a place to sleep (and plan schemes against the Avengers, he guesses with a laugh); but it's still filled with books, and he really likes that.

He looks into the small kitchen, and sees the norse god of mischief with his hair tied back into a miniature ponytail.

"What? What are you laughing at? I'll have you know you've got the worst case of bed-hair I've ever seen.", Loki huffs, and its all so natural, the way they jibe at each other throughout the morning, that he really, really can't bring himself to say 'divorce ( ... )

Three rings of marriage are the engagement ring, the wedding ring, and the suffering.  ~Author Unknown"Tony," says Steve one morning, and he looks up to see the rest of the Avengers gathered - including Thor - looking at him sitting at his bar in yesterday's suit, one hand still around the bottle of vodka though he fell asleep, "What's wrong with you?

Epilogue

If two stand shoulder to shoulder against the gods,

Happy together, the gods themselves are helpless

Against them while they stand so.
~Maxwell Anderson

Tony hears the clang of his suit and the beating of his heart in his ears as he runs across the damn rainbow bridge; Loki keeps whirling around on his back to look for signs of Thor.

"I think that trap of yours worked." he says to him in a still sort of panicky voice, hands tightening their hold.

"Let's hope he falls for your clones too. Where do you think…. where will we land?"

"New Mexico."

Tony supresses a scream of rage.

"Why is my house in Malibu?!"
