Left to his own devices, there are few things that can throw Tony out of a workshop groove. Typical hard limits are hunger and exhaustion; softer limits are the occasional frustration at being unable to solve a problem and its opposite, the thrill of finding a solution that he then needs to show off or celebrate.

Then there is the other kind of distraction.

Game Geralt: Sure Jaskier, I will totally wear this ridiculous getup and allow you to whack me with a wooden sword to impress your ex to get funds for your business. 

“I have this great picture of me on the boat. I’m falling asleep on Anton’s lap, and Anton’s with his like sweatshirt, and I can tell he’s like, ‘Goddamn.’ I’ve probably been asleep for like an hour on his lap, and he doesn’t want to move me. It’s pretty cute.”

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

Why can’t Tony see that he belongs with Steve? (An Avengers Academy ficlet.)

Tony asks if there’s anything he missed while he was away - away , he says, because it’s easier than saying hey did anything interesting go down while I was kidnapped and getting tortured in a cave - and Rhodey hesitates before saying no.

Tony eyes him. He’s in a hospital cot, and only because Rhodey begged him to get into it after they got out of the helicopter and onto the base. He’s had 16 hours of uninterrupted sleep since they dragged him out of the desert and he’s fine. He’s really, truly fine . He’s not - he’s not fine fine, but he’s his brand new version of fine that might involve more sharp edges than his old version, so there’s no reason for Rhodey to coddle him like this.

“Rhodey,” Tony says. “Don’t hold out on me. I won’t shatter into tiny pieces if you tell me something bad.”

“It’s not-” Rhodey sighs. “It’s not… bad. It’s, uh. It’s surreal.”

“Surreal.”

“Yeah.” Rhodey rubs a hand over his mouth. “We, uh. We found Captain America.”
