Summary
“Hey, genius,” Rhodey says, “you coming down from the roof or should I start a collection for a trampoline?”
Tony glances over the edge. The Great Dome curves under his feet like a smug planet. The air tastes like rain-silver and freedom. He has not slept in fifty hours, and the night is a blade he keeps on the whetstone. Beneath him, MIT hums: vending machines, HVAC, the coo of a late bus. In his chest, an engine. In his mouth, a hundred answers to questions no one asked.
“I’m calibrating perspective,” he says. “Perch of the gods. Whole campus looks like a circuit board from up here. Adorable.”
Rhodey’s jaw works. “You’re wearing one shoe.”

Summary
Look, lots of kids are hot for their teachers, okay? It’s one of those things. And it makes sense. You’re just discovering your body and sexuality, you’ve got all these hormones running through your blood and, hell, some of your teachers might just be smoking hot. Just because it’s inappropriate don’t mean it ain’t true.
When you’re a teenager lots of stupid shit makes you horny. Bucky got a stiffy just from the train approaching the station the other day. And he don’t got a train kink or anything, it was just the anticipation of it or whatever.
So don’t at him about his big honkin’ crush on Mr. Rogers.

Summary
The artificial intelligence called Tony Stark is in it way over his head. The “real” Tony Stark is isolating himself, trying to ignore his part in the Civil War and the Dark Reign that followed it; and Steve is falling into guilt over his part in the Secret Empire.
Tony has no history, and his human counterpart has too much. Somewhere between them, there might be a way forwards—for all three of the men in this shitshow.

Summary
“Dude that mission was so good! I know we’re good but goddamn we’re the fucking best!” Steve rambles on like he has for the last forty minutes straight bouncing in his seat. “Shut the fuck up! Nothing about that was good!” Tony snaps at the blond anxious. “Oh..yeah” Steve looks down kinda just going still, maybe it wasn’t good? Why is he so excited about it? Clearly it’s a dump thing to be excited about, he talks too much. He makes a mental note to not mention anything ever again, he feels uncomfortable and judged.
Tony leans back in his seat picking at his nails, why Steve is so excited about a goddamn alien mission is beyond him, Tony’s still anxious out of his mind
TLDR; Fic split showing how Tony and Steve navigate the world with the same mental health issues. And how they work with their friends. Read the tags accordingly

Summary
Steve Rogers is trying to get used to life with ALL of his personal information available to the public, not just what all the historians pedaled thanks to Peggy and Howard. But he is struggling to figure out how to tell Tony about Bucky's role in Howard and Mariah's deaths.
Tony has to get used to life with a new diagnosis of BiPolar II and PTSD. Also not being with Pepper anymore, but that's a different story when you find out your childhood crush had a seriously classified backstory.

Summary
*This is a two part to my series based on my story Riding the Tiger. With some imagination, you might be able to muddle your way through this, but you really need to read the main story first to make sense.*
When things between Steve, Bucky, and Tony begin to slowly move forward, Tony realizes he's going to need to bare his scars for his boyfriends to see. The idea sends him into a panic, but thankfully, Sam is in the right place at the right time to help him with his feelings. With some wisdom from Sam, he goes to face his fears and bring his relationship with Steve and Bucky a little closer.

Summary
*A one-shot based on my story Riding the Tiger. You can read this separate from the series and have it make sense. I think.*
Tony is cleaning out some old boxes and stumbled on a gun he'd designed years ago. He doesn't want to end his life, but his thoughts turn a bit morbid, convincing him to pick it up, just to hold it, and that's where Steve and Bucky find him. They think the worst, he tries to explain, and they all talk about their feelings and share in some soft moments.

Summary
A one-shot from the series around my story Riding the Tiger.
There are a lot of treatments for bipolar, some with more stigma than others, and there are some that Bucky won’t let Tony ever have. Bucky stumbles upon something that hits too close to home—bringing back memories of his time with Hydra. Sometimes protecting someone isn’t what you first thought it would be.
"They knew being with Tony would be hard, but it didn’t make it any easier when it came to watching him struggle. He was in a battle against his own mind and they couldn’t do anything other than stand beside him and watch the fight unfold, two of the world’s strongest soldiers rendered useless."

Summary
Warning: This fic will contain very dark themes and emotional/psychological manipulation please if you are upset by dark themes then do not read this.
Tony doesn't see how far Bucky and Steve have both crossed the line, how dark they've both become. After Siberia Tony lost part of himself the minute his boyfriend at the time put the shield in his chest but when they came to him asking for his help he was unable to turn them away.
They both seemed so sincere and sorry and Tony despite everything still cared about the ex-Avengers, little did he know that everything they said was nothing more then a ploy to get him close enough to them that they're able to gently and slowly manipulate him.

He who rides a tiger is afraid to dismount—Chinese Proverb
This is the short story about mental illness, forgiveness, and finding a way to start again. Tony has bipolar and PTSD, and he’s struggling under the weight of the changes around him and the illness within him. Med compliance isn’t easy. It’s amazing the weight pills can hold. With the Accords amended and the team returning, Tony needs to learn to trust and accept that it’s okay for people to care.
Somewhere between the scars of love and thorns of anger lies desperate hope, all you need to do is grab onto it.

Summary
Following the disaster and a half that was the Vulture Incident, Peter might have PTSD and to be quite honest, Tony probably does too and learning to cope as a couples activity IS VALID (to a degree?). Late night phone calls, tragically crushing on your father figure, sleepovers, talking to you is probably the highlight of my year, I thought this was idol-worship but I guess its more like Daddy Issues™, you’re Really Really Young but hardly anyone else cares about me much these days so I Really Really need you, lets distract each other and not talk about our feelings, aw shit are we co-dependent? Let's TALK about our feelings so we can actually get some god damn sleep once in a while, can I pick you up from school? can I make you coffee in the mornings? can we work this out? And they learn to get better, together.

There’s a heavy weight settled firmly on Bucky’s chest, metaphorical but no less painful for it, curling down through muscle and bone, squeezing his lungs and tearing at his heart.
