    Summary

    Luxurious. Grand. Immaculate.

    Just a few words that could not quite capture the extravagance of the Stark mansion where Tony Stark was born and raised. The Avengers are amazed and impressed, and Captain America is in awe to be in the presence of the place where his great friend from the past, Howard Stark, used to live. Surely, such luxury must be the reason why the genius grew to be the arrogant, egoistic man he is often described to be.

    A few tapes from the man's childhood and a traumatized Tony beg to differ.

    Summary

    Tony Stark is fine.

    Sure, he moved to a new city on a whim, but he's an eccentric billionaire - that's allowed!

    And sure, he moved from a massive compound, mansion, and tower, to a tiny little one bed apartment that barely has enough room for him - it was cosy!

    And sure, he barely sees his friends and does nothing but work - his job right now is important, okay? He's got to fix the accords and bring the Avengers back, for the safety of the planet!

    Tony Stark is fine. This is not a mental breakdown.

    He's met someone new.

    He's learning to cook.

    He's losing weight and getting fitter.

    This is all he ever wanted.

    He's fine. He's happy.

    Summary

    The day after the invasion Tony wakes up and his tower is intact again; everything is exactly the way it was before this whole mess went down. It doesn’t take him long to catch up but he can’t figure out why he’s in a time loop – so he does what anyone would: fuck things up while trying to find a way to fix this. Somewhere along the way, his priorities change and suddenly he finds himself involved neck-deep in Norse family drama, along with some other stuff.

    Summary

    AKA the 6 times Tony doesn't tell the Avengers he's autistic, +1 he does.

    ---

    "They started noticing a couple of weeks in. Tony couldn’t really say he was surprised. He was pretty good at masking, maybe even one of the best because very few people had to mask so consistently, in front of most of the world. And no one had ever suspected. But there was only so long you could keep that up before your body and mind gave in, and Tony had always used the Tower as his decompression space. It was absurdly unrealistic to think he could go months without relaxing properly. It didn’t make it any less humiliating every time he slipped up."

    ---

    Nothing and no one can convince me that Tony Stark isn't autistic, and I'm here to make that EVERYONE'S problem.
