#1 - IronHusbands WIP Major Pairings: Rhodey/Tony, mentioned Sam/Riley Rating: Teen Warnings: Choose Not to Warn Other tags: it's literally about rhodey falling from the sky in ca:cw and his subsequent recovery Estimated word count: 5000 - 10000 Summary: Tony watches his best friend get knocked out of the sky. He then has to help him learn to walk again, despite his quite impressed guilt and insomniac tendencies.

Snippet: Rhodey learns to walk again. When Tony looks back to see Rhodey fall out of the sky, he already knows he won't catch him. He tries anyway, flying into a steep nosedive, putting everything he has into his thrusters. He's mere metres away when Rhodey crashes into the ground, and Tony's heart crashes with it. He's panicking, his lungs won't work properly, but he forces himself to work. Rhodey might still be alive, the armour he made might have saved him. Shaking fingers lift away the faceplate and reveal Rhodey, gray, eyes closed, blood in the corner of his mouth. Tony gasps and tries to feel for a pulse. His armour doesn't let him.

"FRIDAY," he says weakly. "Scan for... Scan for vital signs."

"He's alive," FRIDAY reports. "But I am detecting severe internal bleeding."

"Call the jet," Tony orders. Several feet away, Cap's friend lands. Tony thinks his name is Sam. He remembers a similar thing happened to him - Steve was telling him. Tony doesn't particularly care, not when his Rhodey is lying broken at his feet.

Comments: It's all gonna be good!! There hopefully won't be to much angst. I appreciate you!! 

#2 -  Icarus laughed Major Pairings: Rhodey/Tony, No other romances, thought there's some focus on the platonic relationships between Rhodey & the rest of the Avengers, and Natasha, and to a lesser extent Pepper, Happy, and Edwin Jarvis. Rating: Mature Warnings: No Warnings Apply Other tags: James "Rhodey" Rhodes as Iron Man, Presumed Dead, Grief/Mourning, Amnesia, Canon-Typical Violence, Angst Estimated word count: 10000 - 15000 Summary: Early in his Avengers days, Iron Man dies in an explosion; this is how his friends -and later, the world- find out Tony Stark was the man behind the mask. Jim Rhodes, his rescuer, his pilot, his friend, decides to take up the mantle and honor his sacrifice. In one if his missions, he finds the man he thought he'd lost.

Snippet: The first time he put on the armor, he almost felt crushed by its weight. Not literally; not in a tangible way. It was light on his shoulders, a wonder of technology. The weight he’d meant was of a more metaphorical sort –it hadn’t hit him, right until the very last second, that he would become Iron Man, and how that would feel.

But flying with it –practicing next to the damn God of Thunder, no less–… oh, that had been easy. Joyful. The first time since Tony left them that an honest, deep hearty laugh had passed his lips.

Of course, everything went to shit the first time he took it out with the intention of using it as intended.

Comments: The fic takes place in Earth-616, and it takes inspiration from early Tales of Suspense and Avengers issues (though I don't consider having read them necessary).

#3 - Half-Baked

Major Pairings: Rhodey/Tony, Carol Danvers/Maria Rambeau Rating: Teen Warnings: No Warnings Apply Other tags: No powers AU Estimated word count: 5000 - 10000

Summary: Tony calls it “bro-parenting” and he’s killing it. Morgan’s first year of school and Tony has joined the PTA because he is going to nail this single dad had a baby with my best friend set up. He and Pepper have everything under control. Tony is focused and ready to be the best dad of Morgan’s class. And hey, if he happens to get a little hyper competitive with the only other DILF on the committee, James Rhodes, well that’s just Tony’s way of flirting

#4 - Self-Portrait of the Artist on his Way (Working title) Major Pairings: Rhodey/Tony, Rhodey/OC, background pairings Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Warnings Apply Other tags: Internalized homophobia, not too heavy Estimated word count: 5000 - 10000 Summary: Follows Jimmy Rhodes from childhood as an Army brat through MIT, the Air Force, and beyond. Stops at the Met Museum, Greenwich Village, and Malibu, CA. Themes of identity discovery, art, romance. Explicit sex.

Snippet: Jimmy has drained his artist’s heart of anything but the most basic admiration of Tony’s features. No more careless studies of Tony’s hands putting together pieces of a robot. No more trying to fix those eyes on a girl’s face in his imagination. The strangeness that had come over him for those weeks at the start of the year, because of Tony’s Italian heritage and his resemblance to the models of Jimmy’s favorite era in art history, all of those restless feelings were gone, thrown out. Everything is better now. And he wouldn’t jeopardize that balance by letting himself stray too close.

#5 - Meant to be and all that sap. Major Pairings: Rhodey/Tony, Maybe Stucky or Steve/Stephen. Potentially Peppernat. Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Warnings Apply Other tags: Minor non-explicit Underage scene of Tony and Rhodey at MIT. Past abuse (Howard) nothing graphic just hinted at via bad parenting comments, alcoholism (Howard still), nothing lengthy either. FLUFF Estimated word count: 5000 - 10000 Summary: One time Rhodey met a scrawny genius teenager and….the renewed encounters that showed him they were meant for each other. A story of RhodeyTony through the years and the unbreakable bond that unites them.

Snippet: "You with me?" Tony's voice suddenly cut through the haze that Jim had been slowly sinking into. He cleared his throat even as he blinked a few times to chase the blurriness away and refocus on his husband - who was currently staring at him with his head cocked to the side and a look in his eyes that meant he wouldn't let it go.

So Jim would have to tell him what he'd been thinking about, also known as, his personal mushy minute of remembering their past, going through some memories that popped into his mind seemingly without logic but always with that same theme of "Damn I love this man", playing in the background of his mind like a sonata.

Time to get a deep breath in before Tony would grin and call him an old sap.

One didn't renew their vows every other day, this was a big fucking deal. And he was ready for it, oh so ready to see Tony in a wedding tux again, and to vow to him, one more time, maybe not even the last, that this was it, that he was it, that Jim would never have dreamed of a better life than the one they shared.

But if he could please remember to lower the toilet lid once in a while it'd be great, still.

Comments: This will be my first time writing these two and I'm super excited to do so. I hope we can work together at a level that will be comfortable for both of us and that you won't hesitate to tell me if you have ideas for the fic etc... :)

#7 - anything for you, darling Major Pairings: Tony Stark/Rhodey, past Tony Stark/Maya Hansen  Rating: Mature Warnings: No Warnings Apply Other tags: n/a Estimated word count: 5000 - 10000 Summary: Tony is a genius, but Rhodey is practical, and it’s why their friendship works. It’s why Tony trusts him, why he tells him his secrets, why he shares this one.

or

Tony refuses to have a repeat of his childhood. 

Snippet: “How long do you think we can do this?” he whispers, and Rhodey shifts, looks at him.

They’re curled up in the porch swing, a bottle of wine pillowed on Tony’s arm that neither bothered to get glasses for.

Through the baby monitor, he can hear Harley, snoring softly.

He wants to say, forever.

He wants it to last forever.

“As long as we need, Tones,” he says.

It’s not enough of a promise, but it’s all he has to give.

~*~

Tony calls him in the middle of the night and Rhodey goes.

He knows his mama is watching him, knows she worries, but he doesn't hesitate. Kisses Harley's head and her cheek and he goes.

Tony is sitting on the balcony of his palace in Malibu, and Rhodey hates it, more than he's ever hated anything, watching his best friend stare at the water, limned by the sun and utterly alone.

"She's dead," Tony says, before Rhodey can ask and he feels his breath catch, his heart stumble.

There's--

Grief. Pretty, troubled Maya with her big eyes.

Heartbreak. A sweet infant who will never know the mother who gave him up, whose life will never be exposed, now.

Relief. Harley is safe. Safe. Gods, he's safe. 

Comments: This is domestic fluff with a helluva a lot of pining and our favorite dudes being dads. That's it, friends, that's the story.

#8 - feet on the dash (working) Major Pairings: Rhodey/Tony, Rating: Teen Warnings: No Warnings Apply Other tags: talk abt alcoholism, mentions of offscreen character death, ptsd Estimated word count: 5000 - 10000 Summary: it's 1984 & tony and rhodey are together again in california (plus morley and clytemnestra erwin). tony's recovering and working on staying sober, rhodey's getting used to being iron man with tony watching. circuits maximus is small with four people and unsteady work, and every moment between the two of them feels weighted with the events of the past year--and their whole lives.

#9 -  olympics au Major Pairings: Rhodey/Tony, Rating: Teen Warnings: No Warnings Apply Other tags: n/a Estimated word count: 5000 - 10000 Summary: the 1984 olympic games were unlike any other. records were shattered, history was made, and love was found.

Snippet: The interviewer turned her attention from Howard to Tony. She gave him a wide smile, bending forward as if he were a child. “And which event are you most looking forward to, Anthony?”

Tony’s mind flashed back to the boy he met that morning: smile like sunshine and all the ambition in the world. He looked the interviewer in the eyes, boyish charm working overtime as he smiled winningly, “I think gymnastics is going to be pretty interesting this year.”

#10 - Beneath the Surface Major Pairings: Rhodey/Tony, Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Warnings Apply Other tags:  Estimated word count: 10000 - 15000 Summary: AU with marine scientist Tony and merman Rhodey. Tony is doing clean water experiments and doesn’t understand why stuff keeps appearing around his equipment. Turns out this is a merman who’s been watching him and leaving gifts to interest him. They eventually meet, figure out a way to communicate, and fall in love.

Snippet: There was a figure sitting on the rocky outcropping. Barely more than a shadow in the soft pre-dawn light, yet unmistakably looking at Tony. Waiting for him. Could be mistaken for a human from this distance, except for the smooth curve from the waist down over the edge of the rocks.

Breath held, Tony approached slowly, not cautious so much as reverent, disbelieving. All that time spent half doubting himself and his theories, only to be here now. He was acutely aware as he walked that he was now one of maybe a hundred people on the planet to ever come face to face with a mermaid.

Or a merman, he amended as he finally drew close and knelt down to be at eye level. It was probably rude, but he couldn’t help his wandering eyes, the way he gazed at the merman in front of him, looking over all of him, taking in details like he was in a dream—maybe he was—and desperate to remember it all when he woke.
