Okay okay okay tony putting the babies on his lap like that is adorable AF and if he ever fears becoming like Howard, that alone should tells everyone he never will be like his dad
Hey, my dad started with good intentions too, remember? When I went back in time, he said there wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do for his baby, and I hadn’t even been born yet.
Before I was born, he was talking about how excited he was. Seven years in, and he was chasing me off whenever I came near his work. Another nine years, and we were fighting about my alcohol, drug, and sex addictions.
It was a truly spectacular downhill spiral, and trust me- I’ve been involved in a plenty of them.
From this point on, this blog will be set post Avengers: Endgame. If you wish to avoid spoilers, blacklist the tag “avengers spoilers”. To find out how the events of this blog may differ from the canon of the movie, click “read more”.
Tony returns to Earth as he does in the movie and has it out with Steve. He remains at the facility as he recovers physically and exhausts every resource trying to undo the snap.
After a year of work and increasing troubles with his sobriety, Tony moves into Pepper and Rhodey’s country home for support, no hope left. The two are a couple and have, by this time, welcomed a little girl named Morgan into their family. Rhodey is frequently gone due to missions, but Tony proves to be an excellent uncle.
When approached about Scott Lang’s idea, Tony isn’t reluctant because he’s afraid of losing what he’s found. Tony is reluctant because he doesn’t want to dare hope, just to lose it all over again.
While Bruce is now able to work cohesively with the Hulk, he is not permanently in that form, and the two retain their separate personalities.
Thor rules justly over New Asgard, despite being depressed and bordering alcoholic. He’s not the misaimed comic relief he became during the movie.
Upon meeting Howard, Tony offers more of a warning regarding how to treat your children.
When Howard says, “Let me tell you. That kid's not even here yet and, there's nothing I wouldn't do for him,” Tony responds with. “You remember that feeling. Intentions are great, but they’re nothing if you don’t follow through.”
The Starker reunion goes precisely as it does in the movies, if not with a little more tears from Tony and a fierce kiss to follow the hug.
Tony still swipes the gauntlet and performs the final snap. While it would be otherwise fatal, he receives a small blood transfusion from Steve. The dose isn’t enough to turn Tony into a super soldier, but it does heal his wounds faster, albeit painfully. He has scarring along the arm he used, tapering off towards the bottom part of his neck and down along his side.
Peter has his heart breaking goodbye with Tony before the savior passes out, and Steve runs forward to assist.
After Steve returned the stones to the moment they were taken from, Natasha was returned from the soul stone. It’s unknown whether this was due to her heroic sacrifice, or if the stone was rewarding their use of the stone for good and nothing else.
Steve chooses to return, rather than remain with Peggy.
Tony, how are you coping with fatherhood, regarding your issues with howard and breaking the cycle of abuse? That's why I'm scared to be a parent, what if being a bad parent is in my blood? How do you get over that fear?
You don’t, but fortunately, I have so many different fears, I don’t really have the time to concentrate on just one of them.
Ooc, I've realised I'm a massive pervert, because all the asks I normally send are sex related, and now I'm trying to think of something more appropriate to ask 😂 also, what's howard stark like in your universe? Is he abusive (like early mcu) or retroactively is the abuse erased? (I'm very bitter about how each film they seem to diminish the impact of howard's abuse)
OOC: This ask is one big mood all across the board tbh
Because I’m also bitter about the ever diminishing impact of Howard’s abuse, I’m staying true to our roots here. Howard was a dickhead, and a’hem-
“He was cold, he was calculating. He never told me he loved me. He never even told me he liked me…”
Yeah, we’re not writing that fucking shit off. Not in this Tony Stark loving household.
I know you said it's too early for baby names, but I missed the rest of the pack getting theirs in. I always thought Anthony Richard and Benjamin Howard would be great for boys and Maria/Mary/May would be adorable for little girls ♡♡♡
