    Summary

    The happiest day of your life is when you realize that your soulmate is still alive.

    The worst day of your life is when he speaks to you.

    “Big man in a suit of armour? Take that off, and what are you?”

    “Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist.”

    Murderer.

    Summary

    “Listen,” Pepper says. “I’m at the food bank right now and Ms. Zavala from R&D called in sick. She has two students coming in this morning to be interviewed for the internship, 9 AM. I won’t be back in time, so if you could just talk to them, or at least start with the first one, until I get back.”
    Tony processes all that a moment.
    “Tony?” she asks.
    “You’re at the food bank? How much do I pay you?”
    She gives another little huff. “Charity, Tony. Did any of the actually important things I just said register in your brain?”
    “Oh, all right. Consider it my charity work for today.”
    -
    Pepper should have known it was a mistake, setting Tony’s dumb ass on these kids.

    Summary

    “I had scoliosis,” Peter whispered, not looking away from where they’d heard the metal snap. He had gone pale. Bucky was sure he was a few shades lighter, himself. “That’s… that’s what I was gonna say before."

    “Yeah?” Bucky asked. He loosened his grip on Peter’s shoulder, but didn’t take his hand away.

    “My back still hurts sometimes,” Peter explained quietly. “But that might be because of the swinging. Hard to find a strong enough chiropractor to crack it, you know? Maybe… maybe two thousand tons of concrete would do it, though.” Bucky leveled his gaze at the kid. Peter looked back at him, swallowing hard.

    “Let’s call that Plan B, okay?” Bucky suggested.

    “Yeah, okay,” Peter mumbled.

    ---

    Or, Peter gets caught in the collapse of a parking garage with a (mildly) concussed Bucky Barnes, and has a nice get-to-know-you sesh with our favorite super soldier while waiting for Tony to find a safe way get them out. Super chill, right? Everything's fine. Oh- and he's been impaled by two rods of rebar and can't move without risking bleeding out. That... complicates things.

    Summary

    Iron Man is not exactly a super-villain, he's just doing his best to save the world, and his methods are questionable, okay? Doing what's right isn't always easy. Tony's come to grips with that.

    And it all works out fine until Hydra comes recruiting and then maybe a little help would be nice. He just doesn't expect that help to come in the form of the Winter Soldier (who happens to be the one person in the world who knows Tony's secret identity) and the Avengers (who really need to catch up.)

    Basically all the identity porn.
