Tony Stark Fic Recs

Simply put, I love fics revolving around Tony Stark. Star ratings are my opinion only! If you liked a fic, make sure you leave them kudos/comments! Rec requests are currently closed. On indefinite hiatus.

[tonystarkficrecs]

Are you still around?

I haven't really been active in the Marvel fandom for a couple years now, so I haven't really had much to rec and consequently this blog's been on hiatus for a while now lol. I've also been incredibly busy with life and been dealing with a hand injury so I'm not sure that'll change anytime soon unfortunately, sorry! But I am alive and still around in fandom at large. There's a pretty big backlog of fics already recced that may be of interest if nothing else?

What’s your favourite ship??? Just curious

That’s a super hard question because I love so many ships and they’re all so cool in their own way 🥺 but I guess I’d have to go with Tony/Bruce tbh?? The science bros dynamic is iirc the first Tony ship I fell in love with and they hold a special place in my heart. But I’m also a huge fan of Winteriron (all the angst and HEALING, my heaRT)

Catching Butterflies by GremlinSR

Words: 53,390

Pairing: Tony Stark/T’Challa

Completed: No

Tony snaps his fingers...and wakes up five days before the events that led to the death of JARVIS and the creation of Ultron. He decides he won't let the future he lived come to pass, no matter how thoroughly he has to destroy the timeline.

Or: Tony Stark will do anything to keep Peter Parker from turning to ash, and T'Challa gets dragged along for the ride.

Circles of Rust by keroseneSteve

Words: 57,815

Pairing: Gen

Completed: Yes

Yinsen dies too soon, and Tony doesn't know how to deal with what he realizes will come if he ever makes it back to America. Instead, he uses his escape to confirm his supposed death, moving to urban India to start a new life as a mechanic with a secret past time of blowing up every piece of Stark weaponry Stane Industries can throw at him. Audis, cats, SHIELD, Bruce, a fair amount of explosions, snark from all sides, ghosts, art, and palladium poisoning with a side of terrorism and a certain defrosted Cappucino.

Do you take requests?

Sometimes yes, though I’m not accepting requests currently, sorry! I’ve got a pretty big backlog I’d been hoping to work through, but I’m considering clearing out a lot of the old ones (as many of them are asking for subject matters I don’t read/have no interest in) so that I can reopen requests without feeling so guilty over the old ones, haha! But yeah, for now I’m not taking requests. I do update the status for rec requests in my blog description if you wanted to keep an eye out for when that changes!

Hello

Heyyo~ 

[tonystarkficrecs]

Okay so this is sort of a shot in the dark, but I have memories of reading a stevetony fic where they got stuck in a timeloop in an abandoned house/tower/cottage surrounded by nothing, really (?). Every few months the loop reset and they would have no memories of the previous months, thinking they just got there. The building slowly is modernised as they live there and Tony fixes and makes things, and I guess at the end they fell in love or smth and got out of the loop somehow? But I cannot, for the life of me, find it anywhere. If you've read it or are able to track it down I would be so freaking grateful. If you cant it's all good I will just continue on my search 😂

@just-a-little-bit-of-sugar 

I’ve never read this fic and I wasn’t able to find it with the searches I tried either. Maybe someone else is familiar with this fic?

Hiraeth by Imagined

Words: 69,850

Pairing: Loki/Tony Stark

Completed: Yes

hiraeth (n): longing for a home you can't return to, or was never yours.

Tony Stark, secret fugitive elf extraordinaire, has thus far been able to hide the fact that he's not exactly human. After the Infinity War, however, a magic artefact is found from Alfheim, his homeworld. The search for answers lead him and his lover Loki across the realms, but some questions may be better left unanswered...

For your star rating post, i hope you don't give yourself a hard time over it because i honestly always thought of it as a personal rec and not something that was rating authors or something. A lot of people are asked what their favourite fics are and this was the same as that. However, I can see why you would want to change it for the reasons you said too. I hope you don't worry too much about it and find enough spoons to do whatever you need.

Thank you so much for the encouragement 💙  I’m glad to hear you didn’t see the ratings as anything more than a personal rec, because that’s absolutely all I ever intended them to be. I do think this is a change for the better though!! 

[tonystarkficrecs]

After a long hiatus and a lot of thought, I’ve decided to abandon my practice of giving star ratings to fics I’m reccing. 

While every fic I rec here of any star rating is one that I really enjoyed (enough for me to want to showcase it for others to read!! Seriously, all the fics here are great and absolutely deserving of a heck of a lot of praise) it’s such an arbitrary measure that only looks at my own personal opinion of something. The last thing I would want is for an author to believe their works is inferior to something else just because of a single person’s opinion. 

From here on out, fics I rec will no longer include that rating. Older fics will still have the rating unless I manage to find enough spoons to edit the posts to remove them. I’m really sorry to any authors who I might have unintentionally hurt.

Forgotten, but Not Forgiven by Shi_Toyu

★ ★ ★ ★

Words: 56,746

Pairing: Gen

Completed: Yes

He wakes up in a crater, encased in a high-tech suit of armor, with no idea who he is or how he get there. The voice in his ear tells him that he’s Tony Stark and he’s a hero… If that’s true, why does he have to run away from the ‘good guys’? The more he learns, the more he starts to think there’s a better way to go about doing things. And, really, who better to help him take down HYDRA than the Avengers? He just has to convince them isn’t not a plot to kill them first.

Hate me by Iron_Eirlyssa (Eirlyssa)

★ ★ ★

Words: 45,570

Pairing: Bucky Barnes/Tony Stark

Completed: Yes

There were moments where Bucky wondered what could have made Iron Man, possibly his best friend here in the future, sarcastic and gentle and funny and caring, hate Tony Stark so much. Moments where he wondered what Tony Stark, who could manage to be kind and generous to the assassin who had murdered his parents, could have done to Iron Man. But he never dared to ask, afraid of the answer.

Aliens really are out to get you aren’t they? by Some_sort_of_trash

★ ★ ★

Words: 23,350

Pairing: Gen

Completed: Yes

Neither Peter Parker nor Tony Stark are known for having the best of luck. To normal people, an alien targeting specifically one person is enough to make you wonder if maybe you have done something to piss off several galaxies. Peter? He's just glad that at least this turn of events is cute. Weirder things have happened. OR Tony is temporarily turned into a toddler for a glorious 48 hours and Peter takes it upon himself to take care of him.

Far Away And Long Ago by Ragdoll (Keshka)

★ ★ ★ ★

Words: 18,497

Pairing: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark

Completed: No

Steve steps into the past and discovers that hope held on a pedestal is as insubstantial as smoke. Then he sees Tony. And that's when things get complicated.

hey uhhh where did wordsplat go on ao3

[tari-aldarion]

I’M SO STRESSED THAT SHE’S GONE

(also: google drive folder of most of her works done by @harlcykeener on Twitter)

[tonystarkficrecs]

Wordsplat deleted their account, apparently, and I'm heartbroken. I loved so many of their fics so much and I failed to download most of them so all I have now is my memories and the knowledge that we lost a really incredible writer and some absolutely amazing fics. I don't know what happened but I hope they're doing okay.
