Summary
Instances of the losses in Tony Stark's life. And the one time he DIDN'T lose.
Tony Lives!
-- But Tony could feel his breathing coming faster and faster, his heart beating so hard and loud that it filled his ears. The only thing he could think about was the remembered gray at the edges of his vision, the scent of those cigars, the slightly sweet tobacco odor right next to his paralyzed face. Obie's soft, velvety voice telling him, "just breathe, Tony, just breathe", that particular musk of aftershave and tobacco filling his senses as his mind raced with confusion, and he recalled the slight trickle of blood from his ears. --

Summary
Peter comes up with a new type of Physical Therapy for Tony. It involves yarn. And a nursery rocking chair.
-- The look in Tony's eyes was...horrified. "Uhm, *seriously* kid? You want IRON MAN to learn to, what, knit?!" Tony's mouth just hangs open for a second, how anyone can put that much lost dignity into staring out of one eye is kind of a marvel, Peter thinks to himself.
"No. No way. No, no, no way. This is what little old ladies do while they sit in rocking chairs and watch cooking shows. Nope. I'm not doing it," Tony continued to shake his head, though he was still holding onto the yarn and the crochet hook, as if they've been fused to his hands. --
Post End-Game fix-it fic, part of the Endgame Homecoming series. You do probably need to read at least Hospital Visit for this one to make sense.

Synopsis: Jarvis II reflects on what makes a house into a home.
- A house tells a story. People don't always realize just how much it tells. People think about furniture and art and paint and wallpaper and of the design and architecture. But they forget about the small things. The parts that actually make up a home. -

Summary
Just after the Infinity War, Tony and Pepper pick up the peices of a shattered existance.
Tony Whump and hurt/comfort
-- "And, Tony, you can't just keep running around like you're twenty-five years old anymore." She took his hand in hers at that point, clearly seeing that he wanted to disagree with her, but even he knew the truth of what she was saying, much as it displeased him.
Before she could continue, he interrupted. "I-I know, Pepper, but, what do you want me to do? I can't just sit around at home doing...nothing. I'll go insane!"
Smiling fondly at his words, she couldn't help but tease, "What, you mean, *more* insane?" Earning her a chagrinned smile from Tony.
"Well, yeah, but we call it 'eccentric' since I'm rich enough to afford the luxury of not being called crazy," he said with a roll of his eyes and a grin. --

Summary
The Adventures of Morgan Stark!
(Imagine saying this in the same vein as "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" and you'll have a horrifying insight into how the rat-maze that is my brain works. I'm sorry, it's scary, I know, but I DO offer delicious snacks??)
Okay, but really, this series is a crap ton of one-shots and short stories about...the Stark family and the rest of the Avengers post-Endgame. This series follows my other series, "Endgame Homecoming".
Features: Tony Whump, some hurt-comfort, including emotional hurt-comfort, some Manic Crack!fic, and a lot of Iron Dad.
Harley, Abigail (Harley's sister), Peter, and Morgan are all repeating players.

Summary
Fix-It fic universe where, most importantly, TONY LIVES.
This series starts immediately post End-Game, with Tony in a medically induced coma while they try to see if they can save him.The stories proceed from there.
There is a crap ton of angst and TONY WHUMP, but lots of fluff and hurt-comfort, too. Also, occasionally I have way too much caffeine (decaf earl gray is an abomination unto God...I stand by my statement) and no sleep for, like, three days, and I get somewhat...It ends with -anic and starts with an M...And we get crack!fic.

Homecoming Beginnings by Merlynnod
Fandom Iron Man (Movies), Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spider-Man (Tom Holland Movies), The Avengers (Marvel Movies)
12 Jul 2026
Summary
My stories got started as fix-it's for Endgame, where Tony survives. But, then there were plot bunnies and holes to be filled in the movie canon as well. And I'm a prolific little beast. ;)
I follow MCU canon through the tail end of Endgame, but these are the stories that fall between those films, between Iron Man 1 and span through the start of the Infinity War. Then we hit over to the "Life After Infinity" arc, followed up with "Endgame Homecoming".
There is a further series, "The Adventures of Morgan Stark" that coincide and go further than "Endgame Homecoming", but are Morgan, Iron Dad, and Peter Centric.Honestly, the "Cat Dad" series (starts just before Iron Man 3) fits in with these as well, as Dilly and Phil are mentioned in the later fics until their deaths of extreme old age after Morgan is born.

Tony Stark, Cat Dad by Merlynnod
Fandom Iron Man (Movies), Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Avengers (Marvel Movies)
29 Jun 2026
Summary
This series is where Tony ends up with two cats, Dilly and Phil, and the man becomes a complete and total...CAT DAD.
Mostly humor and fluff, with a some crack and angst for spice.I know from personal experience, that I am absolute *shite* with other humans, but by God I am amazing with animals. I think a lot of people with crappy childhoods end up like this...Humans can't be trusted not to hurt you, but animals are always dependable.
So, we end up with all this pent-up care and affection and LOVE that we're afraid to give to the people around us, but we *lavish* on animals.Due to "Howard Stark's A+ Parenting" (love that tag, by the way!), I think Tony would be in a similar state. I think it's already present even in the MCU canon with the 'bots. He built the family he needed.
I adopted mine. ;)
(One of whom is currently laying on my foot, because there is a summer thunderstorm outside, and she needs the comfort of closeness. And good God, I could not possibly love her any more than I do without exploding.) ;)- Words:

Three-Day Migraine by sahiya for genebec
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spider-Man (Tom Holland Movies)
17 Apr 2019

Summary
Tony’d had migraines since he was teenager. No one knew why, because no one ever really knew why with migraines. He had a few obvious triggers––red wine, dehydration, and stress. Stress was by far the worst, since it meant they tended to flare up when he could least afford to take time off. He’d tried a lot of different medications over the years, and none of them really worked, but Imitrex at least took the edge off.
So when Tony blinked at the hologram in front of him and realized that it wasn’t going wonky because something was wrong with it but because something was wrong with his vision, he wasn’t too alarmed. Irritated, but not alarmed.

Making sure that Morgan Stark felt protected and safe and loved was the most important thing Peter had ever done. It was even more important than Spiderman. It was also, he came to realize, way, way harder.

Summary
“I know all about your secret identity.”
A beat of silence. “Um,” Peter said, bunching his sweater in his hands. “Which… which one?”
--
Peter has three secret identities: Spider-Man, the superhero who swings around the city to save people. Parker Benjamin, who gives Tony Stark unsolicited advice on his research. And NightMonkey, the Instagrammer who keeps uploading increasingly popular but embarrassing drawings of Iron Man.
And he can juggle them all just fine, thankyouverymuch.
