Tony Stark. Time Lord.

Born on Gallifrey, raised as a Time Lord, the Tinker escaped the Time War and its destructive end as the lone participant in an evacuation programme. He grew up human, as Tony Stark, ignorant of his past until recently. Since finding the fobwatch that held the key to his past, Tony is a full Time Lord. Nicknamed Neo and called the Tinker, he's living on Earth as Tony Stark, Iron Man. ||Please read rules and story for more information|| || Mun & Muse 18+ || Multiship, Multiverse || Post-Avengers ||Tracking the tag 'tinkertony' Status: Online [ ] Offline [ ] Lurking [x]

something is a little different || The Tinker and Loki

[mischixvous-blog]

“Right.” Loki paused, still standing arms folded  &  full of irritation. He had almost expected Stark to put up more of a fight over that. But then again, nothing here seemed to be going to plan and nothing seemed to be SATISFYING.

He cast a glance around as Tony began to work at things, the room full of tech and pieces of wires  &  things most of which he recognised but very few that he understood. It was only a few moments before he was bored just standing there and moved his gaze to what Tony was doing.

“So what am I supposed to do, hmm?” He asked with a sigh. “Help you out? Because if that’s what those tin cans are expecting I’m afraid they will be vastly disappointed with my technical knowledge.”

[tinkertony]

“And you’re always complaining that humans are ‘backwards ants’,” Tony teased without looking up. But after a moment he put his work down, looking up at Loki again. He could tell the god was going to be a nuisance unless he gave him something to do.

“You need to at least look like you’re working. If you pretend to be doing shit then I can spend more time fixing the Manipulator. I can draw up some fake plans for you to follow if you want.”

It wasn’t much of a solution, but it was the best he had to offer. “Unless you’ve got any better ideas,” he added, more sarcastically. “I mean, we could even do that old-fashioned thing called ‘talking’. Between the two of us I’m pretty sure we have enough subject matter.”

i wanna help you || tinkertony & gallifreyanconverse

The Doctor laughed gleefully and wrapped his arms around his fellow Time Lord with more enthusiasm than was probably necessary. He hadn’t been allowed to take fun trips in quite a while, and hopping off to meet up with Shakespeare had absolutely been out of the question, up until then.

“You’re going to love him, Tony. He’s brilliant.”

[tinkertony]

“More brilliant than me?” Tony grinned charmingly. Even when he’d been fully human, he’d prided himself on his genius. Now, compared to other humans of course, he was lightyears ahead, intelligence-wise. “C’mon, the guy’s Shakespeare. What’s not to love? I mean, I’m allowed to use his own quotes against him, right?”

With the Doctor’s huge improvement in mood, Tony was getting increasingly cheerful. And not just because the Time Lord in question was snuggling up to him tightly. 

[mahrosetyler]

“ Best chip shop in town” She laughed, as she scanned her own pass. The Doctor had done some jiggery pokery on her pass, so that it would last her a lifetime without her having to pay for it. 

Walking in front of him she seated herself, next to a window so she could see where to push the stop button. “ Well- not the best. But I rather fancy it because I get free chips there still” 

[tinkertony]

Tony collapsed in the seat next to her, shrugging. “Either way, you only get fish and chips like this in this country.” 

There were a few stares from some of the people on the bus, but Tony just grinned and ignored them. Really, he’d always enjoyed making a scene. 

[theallseeingmutant-moved-blog]

"Mutant. Also, I live in New York. Crazy shit happens all the time here, its like a superhero/villain hotspot. Finding out Tony Stark is an alien is, admittedly, earthshattering, if I was an ecstatic Iron-fan. Then again, I always liked Cap better.” Mellonie shrugged and began mumbling to herself. “…where else would playboys keep their bunnies…?”

[tinkertony]

“You think you’re gonna get an internship by telling me you like Cap better? How dare you.” The mumble made him narrow his eyes. “Yeah, not my area anymore. Anyway, even in those days, I left the bunnies to Hefner. He doesn’t like me much, for some reason.”

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, XI

[ask-xi]

“Ohhhh,” the suit purred in mock hurt tones. “I don’t want anything with you, well, not unless that drives your spaceship. You are easy on the eyes, after all, but no, I’m just.. popping in, poking my nose around. I’m curious, I like technology, and I like people. Especially interesting ones. XI got up slowly, pacing toward the large windows leading onto a patio. “I’ve worked out the name you use here, but I’d love to know what you call yourself otherwise.”

[tinkertony]

The flirting just made him quirk an eyebrow, not particularly affected. There was a distinct lack of explanation in the other’s words, despite the length of his rambling and he just shook his head. 

After a moment, Tony let out a long breath, folding his arms over his chest and trying to regain some control over this peculiar situation. “Look, buddy, I’m not exactly inclined to trust you while you’re parading around in my suit. You give me back my tech, and I’ll tell you anything you want to know about me.” He had nothing to hide in his past. 

[imjustthemechanic]

“Oh, sure Ill tell her an alternate version of me from outer space told me to do it.”  He looked down at what he was wearing.  “I should take some flowers or something, probably.  Don’t you think?”

[tinkertony]

“And she’ll lock you up in the nearest looney bin.” Tony nodded, raising an eyebrow. “I don’t know, flowers might be a bit overkill. Only make things more awkward if she says no. You could put on a suit though.”

[tinkertony]

“Just give me a moment to let this sink in for me. Like how is it possible? Does it change you and does it change who you are?” 

[tinkertony]

“Um. It’s complicated. Right now, I am very much still me. Just with... some extras. But when I ‘die’, my appearance will change and parts of my personality will change. I’ll still be me. But different.”

[imjustthemechanic]

“Okay, well, I’ve never done that.  I do all my blowing-stuff-up while strictly sober and it’s usually intentional.  Usually.  You really think I should do this?”

[tinkertony]

“Yes. Come on, take a chance. If it doesn’t work out well you can come and say I told you so.”

[tinkertony]

something is a little different || The Tinker and Loki

[mischixvous-blog]

Loki sighed, turning away from Tony in annoyance. More so now than any moment since they had been thrown onto this random, unknown planet that happened  ( just his luck )  to be inhabited by world-domineering robots with a crazy ego complex, Loki was just plain fed up. Every time they seemed to find something helpful, it only turned out to be a worse situation.

“Yeah, fine,” he sighed eventually, running a hand through his hair in defeat. “But if this one sends us to a new…” The hand moved from his hair to make a random gesture at his side. “Machine-conquered planet, I am certainly NOT helping you.”

[tinkertony]

“Sure, I’ll let you find your own way back,” Tony agreed drolly, raising an eyebrow at the god. It wasn’t like he needed Loki. He just wasn’t going to let the daleks kill him either. Even after his attempt to takeover Earth, Tony would never be able to hate Loki as much as he hated the daleks. 

And, all things considered, Loki wasn’t that bad company either.

Considering that conversation over, he turned away to the worktable, staring at the parts he’d been given. There were cameras, so he’d have to be careful about fixing the Manipulator as he pretended to make some kind of new dalek. 

“Well, this is gonna be fun,” he muttered, setting to work.

[lifefilledwithstories]

“If the future is always changing then how could you learn about it in school. Wouldn’t your knowledge be out dated?”

[tinkertony]

Tony made a face. “It’s.... a lot more complicated than that. From an outsider’s point of view, the future never changes that much. Same general progression. I don’t really know how to explain it.” Humans, and most other species, to be honest, had such a linear view of time. 

[mahrosetyler]

“ Your American money won’t help ya much here” Rose laughed, as she stuck out her pass to flag down a bus. “ But the psychic paper, that should be brilliant” 

As the bus pulled up, Rose let the passengers file out first. “ Well come on- no time like the present. If anythin’ I can spot ya” 

[tinkertony]

Tony shrugged and grinned, following her onto the bus, touching the psychic paper to the card reader and smirking slightly when the light flashed green. For something made entirely out of 21st century earth materials, he’d done pretty well. 

“So where are you taking me, Rose Tyler?”

[imjustthemechanic]

“Oh, god, what did she do?”

[tinkertony]

“Oh, she just shut me down before I could get the words out of my mouth. Brutally.” He shrugged, tilting his head to the side. “In fairness, I did get drunk and blow up half the house in a fight with Rhodey the night before, so...”

[mahrosetyler]

Smiling, Rose led them out of their flat and towards the place they had gone to last time. As they walked, she caught a few people staring, and others doing double takes. 

“ You would think people would have some manners. ‘ts rude to stare” she laughed as she guided them down the street. “ We need to take a bus, do you have any pounds on ya? ‘m guessin’ you don’t have a pass” 

[tinkertony]

He grinned, shrugging, unconcerned by the stares. “Hey, when you’re this good looking--”

“I... have a few fifty dollar bills...” Tony answered slowly, shrugging. “I also have psychic paper, if that helps.” Now that had been a challenge to recreate, he’d never been good at psychic things. 

He almost couldn’t wait to see the media reaction to Tony Stark riding on a London bus. 

[imjustthemechanic]

“So what do you want me to do, just walk into her office and go hey, here are those reports you wanted, and by the way I’ve been in love with you for ten years?”

[tinkertony]

“Hmm... Tell her you love her first, then follow with the reports. They’ll be a helpful distraction.” He grinned. “I dunno, just make sure she’s not pissed at you first. I tried that, it turns out badly.” 

[lifefilledwithstories]

“That would probably be good.” She says smiling. “What would happen if it didn’t stay in one piece? Would the Galaxy end? How can you even be here? Wouldn’t that change the future or disrupt the timeline?” Then she stopped embarrassed.”Sorry thats a lot of questions. I just…. time is so weird.”

[tinkertony]

“It would really depend on how much changed... Worst case scenario could rip holes in time and space.” He shrugged, and grinned at her barrage of questions. “I’m not actually from the future, per se, I’ve just learned about the future in school, same as you would learn history. Of course, not everything in the future is fixed. Just certain points.” He smirked. “But yeah. Time is... one of the strangest things there is.”

[imjustthemechanic]

“Yeah, but she could accuse me of sexual harassment if I’m not careful - and even if she doesn’t, it would make things really, really awkward.”  Tony pushed a hand through his hair.  “I dunno, when I do the risk assessment… the odds of a successful outcome seem to be so long, it’s not worth it.  I mean, I’ll probably regret it on my deathbed or something… but I just don’t deserve her.”

[tinkertony]

The Tinker frowned. “Nobody deserves Pepper Potts,” he said softly, shaking his head. “So, that argument doesn’t work. But Pepper deserves someone who loves her. And you seem to fit the bill.” When had he started being a mature relationships guru? This parallel universe was messing with his mind. “Seriously, take the risk.”
