Hi nonnie! Did you mean a Doctor Who Crossover? In which case I'll have to dissapoint you, sorry. I've honestly only come across one once, and I have no idea what it was other than Captain Jack was in it. But I'm definitely interested! Maybe you could rec me a good one?
So there's one that comes to mind straight away:
The Tim Drake-Wayne-Stark series is a fav of mine for the parental relationship between Jason and Tony that just ticks all the boxes for me. Actually, despite the title, what I love most about this series is Tony's relationship with all of the other batboys, not just Tim. An excellent read if you're looking for uncle!Tony.
Another is Wakandan Wardog's amazing fic (Walk Walk) Fashion Baby which also features Bruce and Tony's friendship pretty strongly, if you don't mind the Winteriron. It's also one of my favs but it's a WIP. Don't let that turn you off though, there are completed prequels that explore their friendship more, even if it doesn't feature the batboys.
Anyone, feel free to chime in if you can think of anymore.
Do you have an recs for fics that are about or even mention the troubles Tony goes through with the Arc reactor? I can't believe that thing does hurt and doesn't affect his heart/lungs
Yes! You and I are alike my friend. There's a surprising amount of Arc fics out there but the ones I can remember off the top of my head are:
It Only Hurts (When I Breathe) by Ocean_Born_Mary, (Stony)
The Hiccups Are No Laughing Matter by Gir_Hugs, (Avengers Gen)
Heavy by Quoth (Mostly Gen)
Arc Tremors by MountainRose
There's A Hole Where My Heart Should Be (And I Want It Gone) by nightwalker
And a whole lot more! So much that I'll be sitting here tonight, thinking damn! I forgot one! And this other one! If you want more feel free to ask me again. Also, AO3 actually has a tag for the Arc Reactor which I trawl through regularly. I suggest looking there for more.
If you find a really good one please tell me! Share your hurt!Tony fics please. :)

Summary:
A lot can change in a year.
This is a year of Clint Barton waking up next to Tony Stark, drunkenly and soberly and deliberately and unexpectedly. This is a year of early mornings and late ones, of a relationship seen through those moments after waking.
It's also a year of entirely too much interaction before the first caffeine hit of the day.
Comments:
I love the format. I love the emotions, the turmoil, the unspoken understanding. This piece is arguably one of the best in telling the story of Clint and Tony's relationship, at least as far as I've read (which, I admit, is not far at all). I love the hidden complexity, the affection, just everything!

Bucky is found by SHIELD. Tony wants a project. They meet somewhere in the middle.
Comments:
...
In light of recent events, namely the emotional roller-coaster that was Cap 2, I've decided to bring this back. I've always thought that Tony and Bucky would get along well, even if their first meeting involved Tony unashamedly groping Bucky's metal arm. In this fic, I loved the alternate meeting of these two (free from all the mess that was unleashed at the end of Cap 2), and Bucky's clean start here. It was so therapeutic after sobbing at the Winter Soldier.

Rhodey wants heat-seeking bullets, Steve wants to go for a run, Natasha wants french toast, and Tony just wants to be prom queen.
Comments:
This one is sort of to make up for my long absence. One of my favourites by far, this made me laugh so much. There are so many fics of Steve and Rhodey bonding over Tony-sitting that this makes for a really refreshing change. I always wondered about how Rhodey would take Tony's new living arrangements. Of course friendship is deeper than that. What I really love is how Tony managed to gather these people and connected with them. That's why I love Tony so much and why I'll always read fics of this nature.

I just love the chemistry between these two. I've said it about 50 times already but I truly do! Just, the amount of snark! And btw, perfect prompt is perfect.
AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
I'm so sorry! I haven't been posting new fic-recs every day because life got in the way. And I have some more bad news. I won't be posting as regularly from now on; maybe once every two days instead of the one per day I've been doing.
BUT, a HUGE thank-you to my followers. 45!! I didn't expect the response I've had for this. Be that as it may, I do need some feedback. So please, tell me.

Summary:
Clint impulsively invites Tony over to his apartment for dinner. He only has three hours and he'd forgotten the state in which he left his apartment. Plus, it's his apartment. Tony Stark has three mansions. Clint Barton has three rooms. What the hell was he thinking? For his part, Tony is quite pleased to hang out at Clint's apartment even though he's a bit disturbed at the complete lack of even a Roomba.
Comments:
Absolutely adorable! A really good, light-hearted read with hidden depths. I love how adorable Clint is in it. And TONY! Imagine him in a normal house with your average appliances and kitchen tools. AHH~! I just love the dynamic between these two. They fit together so well.

Comments:
This is exactly like how I would imagine Sherlock and Tony meeting and interacting. I love the back and forth banter between the two, but also how they can understand each other. They think in a similar way; systems and intuitive leaps. It makes for an interesting conversation to say the least. My only complaint is that it wasn't longer. I want a follow up!

Summary:
When Tony was dying from palladium poisoning he ended very drunk in Las Vegas... and married...
Comments:
This one is really simple. Just Tony being drunk and making questionable decisions and Clint doing the same. What makes this fic great is Clint showing how someone can just so easily get sucked into the Tony Stark whirlpool, to the point where thoughts of leaving never even occur. And really, isn't that why we're here?

Summary:
Tony only ever wanted to be an Alpha with bright feathers, a huge wingspan, and attitude. But he was an Omega, and while he still has the attitude, his lot in life as dictated by society leaves a lot to be desired. But he was Tony Stark, and he wasn't going to let anything get in his way—though he wouldn't necessarily be against the company of a certain Alpha Capsicle.
-- Fill for Avengers Kink meme request for Wingfic/Omegaverse --
Comments:
I've never been a big fan of Omega!verse, but this one is beautiful. It's not focused on the sex as many alpha/omega fics are. The wings make it even better. The worldbuilding that you can see subtle traces of in the background must have been amazing. The fake pheromones, nest building, even the sexual preferences of the characters; the level of attention to detail is what makes this fic one of my favourites. Of course it doesn't hurt that Tony is BAMF!Omega in this one, kicking ass and taking no shit from any damn Alpha.

There is nothing better than BAMF!Tony. Couple that with Protective!Tony and you've got yourself a sweet fic. This is gorgeous on so many levels. Tony understands trauma. He understands rough childhoods. And he understands strength. Clint and Tony are such a pair. These two are destroying my life.

“The Starkphone has the longest battery life of any phone on the market, the most high-quality camera, the most free games, the largest internal memory, the only mobile spectrometer, and is made from the highest percentage of recyclable materials,” Tony says.
Comments:
This is beautiful, even (especially) if the first part was just an excuse for this scene, Avengers style. Funny because of all of Tony's floundering, and perfect because of the gold-titanium alloy case with vibranium reinforcement. How awesome does that sound!

Summary:
When a mission goes wrong, Natasha's not the first, nor even the second to know.. The first is their mark. The second is Tony Stark.
But really, don't let a plot summary fool you. It's really about how Tony gets whumped for no reason.
Comments:
This had me on edge right from the beginning, clutching at my sheets and reading as fast as I could, yet savouring each word. I love the tension that the author established right at the start and carries until the end. The images that this conjured up in my mind had me gasping. Well worth the five minutes it took to read.

Soulmates meet when they need each other the most. So when Tony is dying from palladium poisoning, he writes a letter, wondering why his soulmate never showed up.
...Steve, later, finds the letter.
(Note: Soulbonds can take on any form - romantic, platonic, familial - so the story can technically be read as slash or friendship.)
Comments:
AHHHH!! This is gorgeous! So beautiful and so heartbreaking. I sometimes forget how much Tony has been through and how strong he has to be to get through it all. I always wished that he had someone to stick by him at those times, but this fic drove home the fact that he wouldn't be who he was without those trials that he had to face by himself. And I love this take on the soulmates!AU. I've never seen one deal with this issue before and It's so insightful.
