Casing You: (Un)Characteristic
Fics in which an author has deliberately chosen to make a character act (at least somewhat) OOC (or, occasionally, more in character, thanks to bad writing/directing/executive decisions)
Often to highlight something about them as a character, &/or those around them)
(Occasionally simply in response to changed circumstances)
Some fics in which characters simply make (significantly) different choices to those made in canon,
Or which focus on character growth.
: ... is not a doormat (e.g. Tony/Izuku stands up for himself)
: ... makes a kinder choice (e.g. Talia takes Jason home)
: ... makes(/continues) a bad choice (e.g. Chim post-punch)

"S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn’t, didn’t allow Enhanced to rampant, declaring themselves heroes to the public,” Natasha replied. “I suppose it was HYDRA’s influence but it made sense. Tony Stark was too visible to throw in a secret prison and too valuable to put a bullet in his skull.” -

Summary
Few people get a second chance. Few people get the opportunity to make the right decision after a mistake.
If you got a do-over, what would you do? What would you change?
There aren't many who get the chance to actually make those decisions.
But Steve Rogers did.
And he saved the world.
Just not in the way he thought he would. -

Summary
Tony has never once regretted bonding to his guide. Not when he sacrificed his football career. Not when he sacrificed his secondary career choice. Not when he sacrificed his morals in Philadelphia and Baltimore. Not when he sacrificed his pride and advancement at NCIS. It has always been his honor and privilege to hide and shelter his fragile guide. And he doesn’t regret it even now when all their secrets are coming out.

Summary
Tony always expected a violent death considering his line of work. What he didn’t expect was to wake up years younger, with memories of a life that didn’t go the way he expected or wanted.
