  • 25k / pg / au (peter parker is kidnapped and trained by HYDRA)
  • He’s not even going to try to fight a whole team of Avengers. He looks up at Iron Man filling the doorway. “I surrender.” He has never been captured before and he’s not sure what to do. Escape, probably.

  • 7k / nc-17 / canon (cw: infidelity)
  • His hospital bracelet reads: MAN, SPIDER, DOB 01/01/2000. His blood type is B positive. She asks him if that’s his actual birthday and he shakes his head no, they had to put something down, and then she wishes desperately she could thwack him over the head.

• even the light is an illusion
  • 102k / pg-13 / canon
  • Death threats are an unfortunate side-effect of being Tony Stark, so he's learned to ignore them. The problem is, when someone really wants you dead, hiding your head in the sand just kinda exposes your ass.
• (first impressions are) a work in progress
  • 15k / r / canon
  • Tony has a point system for the times he can get Steve to be less than perfect.
• five seconds

  • From the moment Steve suits up, he knows what he’ll do.
• re(a)d all over
  • 3k / pg-13 / canon
  • Contrary to popular belief, Tony Stark can blush. It just takes Steve getting drunk on some magical Asgardian mead for it to finally happen.
• the act of creation will be your salvation
  • 84k / r / canon
  • When Tony Stark was seventeen years old, he built his first AI. On that day, he ceased to be his father's creation, and became a creating force in his own right. That one act likely saved his life, and not always in the most obvious ways.

• and so we spiral
  • 96k / nc-17 / canon
  • Tony Stark knows he should be acting as a mentor, as the responsible adult, the referee. But if he can barely handle his own problems, how can he also juggle Peter Parker's, all the while pretending that he doesn't notice the way the kid looks at him?
• breaking point
  • 20k / nc-17 / canon divergence
  • Because of magic and its complete lack of sense, Tony currently has a splitting migraine that makes it hard to think, a body that aches in places he didn’t know could ache, and—oh yeah—according to Strange, none of that is going away until he gets married to someone.
• closer to a prayer
  • 17k / nc-17 / canon divergence

• eight minutes
  • 2k / nc-17 / ceo/intern au
  • Peter Parker is just the average college student. The most interesting thing about him is the fact he had miraculously landed an internship with Stark Industries, even if they assured him he'd never actually meet Tony Stark.
• expiration date
  • 12k / nc-17 / canon
  • Tony knows exactly what this is. First big breakup, go for a fling with a completely inappropriate person. It’s basically a cliché. He kind of thought Peter was better than that, but apparently being brilliant and one of the bravest people on the face of the planet doesn’t mean he’s immune from being a stupid college student who makes stupid college student mistakes.
• fake relationship; real feelings
  • 5k / nc-17 / canon
  • "He's never gone skiing, and that's a crime," Tony had said, putting an arm around Peter's shoulders and bringing his hand up to tug gently at the short hair at the nape of his neck. That was around when Peter blue-screened.
• feels like something, maybe it fits
  • 7k / nc-17 / canon divergence
  • Peter’s still not used to hearing that voice. Four months, and part of him thinks it’s a lie every time.
• fire and ice
  • 2k / pg-13 / canon divergence, soulmates
  • Tony Stark was thirty-one when he got his first Marks. When he realized his soulmate was a child, he resolved to never try to find out who it was or meet them. No matter how many times his soulmate desperately tried to reach out to him.

  • The mission is going well until Peter kisses Mr. Stark.
• get there eventually
  • 11k / pg-13 / canon divergence
  • Spider-Man was Peter Parker. Or maybe it was more accurate to say Peter Parker was Spider-Man. It was obvious, not least because the kid kept changing in alleyways. He had a secret identity, but he didn't exactly try that hard to hide it.
• gift of choice
  • 11k / nc-17 / canon
  • Tony Stark had a thing about giving Peter stuff.

  • Peter is working at Delmar’s, sorting out tabloids on the rack in the front, and he sees Tony’s face plastered everywhere and then Peter is reading words and then he can’t read anything because he’s crying and his shaking hands rip the magazine in half. Tony Stark…alive.
• mr. hurricane
  • 8k / pg-13 / canon divergence

• my fair peter
  • 32k / nc-17 / canon divergence
  • To help them obtain the location of an alien tech auction, SHIELD enlists Peter to go undercover to seduce and trick a billionaire arms dealer who has taken a shine to the spiderling. Since Peter has no idea how to act like a billionaire, SHIELD demands that Tony train him. The only problem is that Mr. Stark, the man Peter’s been crazy about since he was fifteen, has been avoiding him like the plague for the last year and he has no idea why.

• sensory integration
  • 5k / nc-17 / canon
  • Peter knows Mr. Stark would always help him with anything, but this is different. He can't ask. They both know he can't ask. “Ask me,” Tony says simply. His fingers neatly snap the button of Peter’s jeans. “Say it. Mr. Stark, will you help me?”
• shaken and stirred
  • 1k / g / canon divergence
  • Some days Tony can't close his fist. Last week his hand shook so badly he couldn't finish eating his soup with a spoon. When it's cold outside, the bones ache like a bruise.

  • Peter Parker’s longterm dream recently went from ‘get into MIT’ to ‘afford going to MIT’. As the time approaches, it’s dawning on him that he won’t be able to pay his tuition and afford the move to Cambridge all at once: he’s out of money, his secrets are beginning to pile up, and desperation has started creeping in... And then one night, he saves Tony Stark’s life.

• take me home
  • 5k / pg-13 / canon divergence
  • Tony is here. Tony is alive. Tony has been in a magical coma for five years and Dr. Strange never thought to tell anyone. Tony’s going to wake up. Tony’s going to look at Peter and probably smile and maybe even say, “Hey, Pete. Are those my glasses?”

  • Tony begins to vent his sexual frustration toward Peter by muttering dirty things in Italian. And Peter, well, simply fails to inform Tony that he happens to understand every word.
• the body heroic.
  • 11k / nc-17 / canon divergence
  • The worst dreams are the good ones. The ones he doesn’t want to wake up from, where he lays in bed for long minutes begging his body to let him go back to sleep so he can feel that happiness again, just for a second.
• the pieces
  • 6k / pg-13 / canon divergence
  • The thing no one tells you about being resurrected is that while being alive again is nice, a lot of the rest of it is pretty awful, starting with the part where you wake up and have no idea what the hell is going on.

  • 7k / r / canon
  • Peter realizes he’s just a rebound. And he’s okay with that, really. Or at least, that’s what he keeps telling himself.

  • When it came to Tony Stark, Peter would take what he could get.
• uranium heart
  • 11k / r / canon, soulmates au
  • It’s probably better, Peter thinks, that he doesn’t know who his soulmate is. He wouldn’t want to lie to them about Spider-Man, but he doesn’t think he’d be able to tell them the truth, either. Not when he knows it would make them a target for every villain who wants a piece of him.
