Summary
“It’s not about us!” Tony looks towards them again. A glimmer in his eyes. “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m happy to announce, that the future isn’t just on our shoulders anymore. All this wouldn’t have been possible, without the heir to Stark Industries, Peter Parker! So welcome back, to the Stark Expo.” Tony bows deeply, before making his way towards them.
Ned cheers loudly into his ear once more. Peter feels frozen in place.
Heir to Stark Industries…? Peter feels a knot form in his stomach. Tony wanted to leave the company to him. No, didn’t want to, he already had. Heir… Peter hadn’t agreed to that.
Arms fold around his shoulders and he has to fight every instinct in his body not to flinch back at Tony’s caring touch. “I- Tony… I’m not… I’m not sure I can-“
***
In an alternate universe Tony Stark is confronted with his past and forced to make a life changing decision in order to protect Peter Parker. And learn a few things about himself along the way.

Summary
Tony's been toeing just about the right side of danger as long as he can remember; one more drink, one more night without sleep, one more day without dropping. Within weeks of the Avengers moving in, Tony's so far over that edge he can't even remember what solid earth feels like beneath his feet.
Maybe this was a horrible idea.
Maybe this is going to end badly.

Summary
After a succesful mission to take down a HYDRA-base right under their noses in Manhattan, Tony is injured. Hiding his injury from the rest of the team, the team quickly starts to pick up on his off-character behaviour, and they're not letting it go just like that. As they try to get him to open up, Tony starts to distance himself while his physical- and emotional- state worsens. When push comes to shove, the team scrambles to show the genius he can trust them fully, with all of himself. Tony finds out along the way that it is not so bad to be taken care of - and to be cared for by- his friends.
Basically some good Avengers vibes because Tony deserves it. Features a heavy dose of arc-reactor angst. Also, Steve has patience, which works out great for both of them. -

Have You Ever Had A Hole In Your Chest? by eyefile

Summary
Have you ever had a hole in your chest?
Not the metaphorical kind. The feeling of loss, of shame, guilt; that pit in your stomach that seems to just grow wider and wider. When it feeds off of your tears and grows so large it starts to turn from a hole and into an imploding star. Swallowing every happy moment you’ve ever experienced, chewing it up, and spitting it out covered in insecurity-flavored saliva.
No, not that kind.
Have you ever had a hole in your chest?
A literal, gaping, bloody hole. The kind that comes served with a side of agony so blinding you heave, turning on your side and spitting up every drop of booze you drank hours prior. Maybe days. Only you can’t, because there’s a hole in your chest.
__
or: i decided to write the scene of yinsen putting in the magnet and car-battery duo inside of tony’s chest! from tony’s perspective, of course.

Summary
Tony Stark was not a stranger to chronic pain; it was with him every day. Try having open heart surgery in a dank cave in Afghanistan with no anesthetic, only to have a metal cylinder shoved in your chest taking place of part of your lungs, ribs and god knows what else. Chronic pain was something that Tony dealt with every single day, but something that he was not used to was having someone in his life that also understood what that pain was like.
Well, it just so happens that Tony is about to find someone that does understand.

Summary
Being a genius was hard work, Tony knew that. Being a genius in high school was not easy either. Being a genius in high school and only 12 years old in sophomore year? Completely unmanageable.
Being a rich, twelve year old genius with some unknown bodily issue surrounded by young, capable and sometimes even dangerous individuals was impossible.
This is a true WIP story, so I don't have a true layout where it's going and I'm taking suggestions. It's a Tony centric and it will be emotional, but as I'm trying so stay somehow as true to Canon as I can aside from the age and time difference.

Tony's diary in the Overworld (ChatGPT experiment) by ChatGPT (orphan_account), DanielaChris

Summary
Original prompt:
"Write the diary of Tony Stark who got trapped in the Minecraft Overworld. He came there via the portal that was intended to bring him home from Titan. Now he's in the Overworld alone and without the Iron Man armor, but he can harvest resources and build things just as usual in the game. Add how he feels lonely and has no one to talk to, because the villagers don't really talk and he's alone most of the time. Also add a story how he almost died (the reason is of your choice)".All the text is written by ChatGPT and not me.

Summary
Тони прекрасно помнил, как все закончилось. Помнил усталый взгляд и слова "Если тебе все равно... я выпью сейчас". Помнил, как на вторженца, предводителя вражеской армии, надели кандалы. Как он исчез в ослепительной вспышке вместе со своим конвоиром, чтобы никогда не вернуться. Но едва уловимая улыбка напротив в пух и прах разбивала все.
