Family ≠ Blood — 3.4k

Virginia “Pepper” Potts knew her place in the Stark’s household. As much as she craved it, Pepper would never be Peter’s mom. “I promise,” she paused to take a deep breath. “I promise your baby boy will know what an awesome mommy he has. How beautiful and loving she was. I promise he’ll never forget his mommy is always by his side, even if he can’t see you. I promise to take care of Peter and love him with all my heart.” “I-I’m s-so sorry,” she managed, her words tumbling over themselves. “I-I didn’t mean for this to happen. I swear, I know Mary is his real mother. I didn’t do this on purpose!”

Hail Justice — 1.5k

Bucky let his hands fall to his sides as he firmly planted his feet in front of the closed metallic doors, at ease. He inhaled deeply, letting his stomach expand. He held it in for a five second count, and then let it out through his mouth. The elevator dinged when it opened. - Bucky Barnes survives the Decimation instead of Steve Rogers. He gets on the elevator full of Hydra agents in 2012.

The Avengers & the Guardians of the Galaxy watch their future.

Hey, Stephen (I've been holding back this feeling) — 11k

Tony Stark and Stephen Strange have never met each other before until the day every student at their university gets forced into attending one co-educative class not connected to their major. Both geniuses end up in the music department and in order to make it more interesting they come up with a competition between the two of them.

How Thor Got Inside Bruce Banner (And Not in the Fun Way) — 31k

Bruce and Thor swap bodies and there's only one way to change back. But it's just platonic magical sex, right? In which Bruce is an oblivious cinnamon roll, Thor is the king of mixed signals and Doctor Strange thinks they should just fuck already.

Into the World of MCU — 39k

The Avengers, especially Tony, are distraught after failing get the stones back from Thanos. Help comes from...(literally) above, when six original Avengers (cast) get sucked into Marvel Cinematic Universe from Endgame Premiere. With their knowledge, the Avengers might have a chance to bring everyone back and possibly changing a few things from the film's plot along the way.

It’s Go Time Now — 4.6k

“He’s got space guns!” Peter swoons. “Absolutely not. Tell me right now,” Tony commands, “tell me I’m your favorite superhero. Go on.” “But I like Mr. Captain Star-Lord Quill.” “That—” Tony nearly chokes— “That’s what you’re calling him? Why don’t you call me anything like that?” This sounds scarily like jealousy. Dad jealousy, Peter thinks. Weird. “I didn’t know you wanted me to?”

I Took a Heavenly Ride Through Our Silence — 13k

In 2023, Natasha Romanoff falls to her death on Vormir. In 2012, she wakes up in Clint Barton's bed, in his New York apartment, wearing his clothes.

Like Real People Do — 67k

And now Steve had brought him home like a goddamn found puppy he wanted to keep.“What the fuck, Rogers?” Clint asked, his hands itching for a bow, a gun, an anything, but not stupid enough to make any sudden moves. There was no way to casually reach for the pistol he’d tucked into the back of his jeans, not with Steve so close and the Winter Soldier so unkillable. “He’s not the Winter Soldier,” Steve said in a rush of expelled air, reading the tension in Clint’s arms correctly. “He’s Bucky Barnes.” Either there were two silver-armed motherfuckers running around - and Clint could believe anything at this point - or this situation was even more bizarre than he’d first thought. And he knew bizarre. He’d been part of a circus. A love story involving Billboard's Top 100, chopping firewood, and not looking like incognito serial killers when out on the town.

Keep An Eye On You — 5.6k

AU where Stephen Strange is an astronaut instead of a surgeon (although he does also have a medical degree). The Mystic Arts don’t exist either (or do they?).

Out Of Your League — 14k

After the announcement of his closest friend's wedding, physics professor Bruce Banner accidentally lets it slip to his colleagues that he is in a relationship. Of course, nobody believes him when he shows them his partner. He can see why, though. Thor is way out of his league.

Peter Parker's horrible no good very bad field trip — 3.8k

“You have... spider superpowers?” Peter nodded. Groot curiously examined the webs remains on his console. Mantis kept tracing the suit’s lines and weavings with her fingers. Rocket looked like he just went through the five stages of grief in half a second. “I’m way too old for this shit”

Sometimes, a Family Is — 20k

Sometimes a family is comprised of you, your recently divorced dad, an unruly group of teenagers and a semi-unemployed former world-class neurosurgeon… Peter Stark hoped that moving back to the city would help his father get passed all the struggles and animosity that plagued him after his divorce. What he hadn't thought to hope for was a way for his father to move on; he’d always had a hard time letting people go, after all. Stephen Strange was everything Steve Rogers was not. Maybe he could be everything Tony Stark needed to heal his broken heart. Throw in an unruly group of teenagers and you have yourself a family.

Tabula Rasa — 134k

“Look… I don’t trust you. You did something awful to me and I have no fucking idea if you are faking your amnesia, because that shit would be totally up your alley… But just in case… nobody of us has done this to you. None of us ever would. We are the good guys and… Thor would crush anybody’s skull who would dare to touch you…” Loki doesn't remember invading Midgard. Loki doesn't remember falling from the Bifrost. At least that's what he claims, but who could possibly believe such a story coming from the god of mischief. Until he starts acting like a really nice guy.

To Have a True Mate — 107k

It wasn’t like Peter was going to find his true mate. Someone perfect for you in every way. C’mon he had Parker luck. He was more likely to be alone forever. So it was very unlikely he was going to have a true mate. And even more unlikely it would be Captain America.

Vow of Trust — 12k

Stephen gets an early morning call - just not from who he expected it from. Instead of chatting with a genius he owes an apology to, he steps through a portal into a cold Siberian night, the sight forever engraving into his memory.

Bucky Barnes broke Twitter with one photo

The A-Team Challenge — 7.8k

Tony Stark just wants to keep Peter Parker on the down low. Heaven forbid Spiderman do something stupid, like go viral. OR: Peter Parker accidently patents the superhero equivalent of the ice bucket challenge.

After School Pick-Up — 1.3k

"My name is Peter, and I don't know you." Peter crossed his arms in front of his chest and took a step backwards. Sam started mentally cataloguing the favors he was going to ask Steve for after this, because the 'easy going pick-up, I promise!' was turning into an issue. "Kid," Sam stated flatly, removing his sunglasses and lowering himself into a crouch to look the child in the eye, "my name is Sam, we've met before, get your little ass in the car so I can take you home and tell your Uncle Steve he's a liar."

The Avengers and The World of Social Media — 34k

When Tony makes FRIDAY secretly record the Avengers for YouTube content, things spiral fast. Suddenly, they’re internet celebrities - starring in thirst traps, chaotic podcasts, illegal livestreams, award shows, and vent-dwelling cults. Steve becomes the internet’s favorite himbo. Bucky fights Tony over who’s hotter. Natasha flirts with half of Hollywood on her podcast. Clint lives in the vents and forms Rodent Nation. Sam and Loki keep getting arrested. Thor teaches lightning to children. Tony loses control but refuses to stop. The internet can’t get enough - and neither can the Avengers. Total chaos. Nonstop content.

Christmas in July — 5.2k

Tony has a global crisis to solve, and that means calling in all the Avengers. Only problem is they aren't exactly on speaking terms. Oh, and, he forgot to cancel lab time with Peter. To be fair though, he wasn't expecting Peter to walk into the tower, Christmas tree in hands, in the middle of July.

Dumb, Dumber and Dumbass — 5.9k

As Coach Wilson peered out the window in the living room, May said, very quietly, “You didn’t realise your brother worked at Peter’s school?” “We all make mistakes!” Sam hissed. Then Coach Wilson was leaning back and a figure in a hoodie and jeans stepped through the window and into the living room, and Peter’s heart sank into his stomach like a rock. Sam’s brother was, true to story, scarred from head to toe. He could see the puckered skin on his hands, the burns across his bald head. But that wasn’t the shocking part—the shocking part was that he’d already seen it before: he’d seen it when a certain vigilante’s suit had been destroyed three nights before, and Peter had walked with him back to his backpack to loan him some clothes. “This is Wade,” Sam introduced. Sam Wilson had two brothers: one was Peter’s gym teacher, and the other was fucking Deadpool.

Mom says i spend too much time on the web — 10k

Peter Parker's Super Secret Snack Stash — 7k

"It's D, Peter. We talked about this." “No it’s not, Ned. Because if it were D then I would be wrong and that would put me at a 65% already on this practice exam and we haven’t even gotten through it all. I can’t fail another history exam, Ned! This last one is worth 60% of our grade! If I fail this final then I’ll fail the class and if I fail the class then I’ll be kicked out of school-” “You’re top of our year, Peter.” You can almost hear Ned’s eye roll as he talks over Peter. “- and if I’m kicked out of school then I’ll be forced to live on the streets exchanging sexual favors for money and I can’t do that, Ned! I wouldn’t even know what to charge- I mean, what’s the street value of a blow job, Ned? Do you know? Because I sure as shit don’t.” At this point Ned is outright giggling over Peter’s theatrics.

Singing in the Rain! — 888

“Hey Tones. Have you seen this?” Tony frowned at the text message from Rhodey which had a link to a video. Tony replied, “No, What is it?” “It’s your kid.”

Soul-YEETs — 2k

When your soulmate throws an object, it appears beside you. Thor has given up on expecting a response from his soulmate, but keeps throwing things by accident. Bruce wants nothing to do with whoever keeps throwing hard objects at him. 'They hit you with a basketball?' Tony paced around the lab, clicking a pen. Bruce kept his eye on the microscope. 'Yeah.' 'Well, that's good, right? Maybe they want to get in touch.' A hand patted his shoulder. 'You've gotta try it one day. Soulmates can be hard work but it's worth it in the end, trust me.' A TV remote materialised in mid-air before clattering onto the desk. 'My soulmate is an idiot,' said Bruce.

Tell me about it — 8.3k

Family Feels / Kid Fic

Doctor Dad and Iron Mom — 6.7k

Peter Parker never thought he'd find himself in the middle of this little storm named as 'Doctor Dad and Iron Mom finally met'. Why couldn't he just have the rethorical peace any other teenager of his age had?

For All I Couldn't Say Before — 1.9k

“Pietro,” god, when did his mouth get so dry, “you die today.” Endgame Fix-It based off a theory Clint was supposed to bring back Pietro in his test run scene.

It'll Be a Miracle if We Survive — 42k

Tony was pretty sure he and Stephen were going to die.

How were they supposed to deal with super soldier children, a child with the Hulk inside of him, a little witchling, and a five-year-old assassin?

And Sam. Blissfully normal child Sam.

I'll Be Your Bodyguard (If You'll Be My Security Blanket) — 4.9k

When one of Loki's pranks gone wrong leaves the team with a young Winter Soldier in their care, they know they're going to have their hands full. Especially since this newer, tinier version of Bucky seems to have a bodyguard complex - and a particular attachment to Tony.

Kidding Around — 25k

Tony may not be the most self-aware guy in the world, but there are a few things he knows: 1. Iron Man and Tony Stark are one and the same, 2. he’d make a terrible father, 3. and his teammates don’t trust him. So naturally, he’s the only man left standing when Loki ages them all back to toddlers. This is going to go well.

Play Date — 27k

“Forgive me, Captain," FRIDAY said. "I needed a moment to be certain I hadn’t erred, but based on my facial recognition systems, I can safely say that Mr. Barnes and Mr. Wilson have located Tony.” “What the fuck?” Bucky rose to his feet. The kid tried to run, but Sam caught the rugrat and restrained him. “Let me go!” The kid struggled. “My dad isn’t going to pay any ransom. You’re just wasting your time.” Ransom? Facial recognition? Bucky stared at the kid—really looked at his face. Amber eyes, oval face, olive skin, strong but narrow chin, a slightly larger than normal forehead, and a nose somewhere between small and medium in size. “Oh, fuck. Tony?” The tears were back in Tony’s eyes. “Fuck you, you assholes!” He wiggled one arm free and punched Sam in the kneecap.

Not Sorry — 1.2k

Peter gets into a fight at school. He's not going to apologize though.

The Sibling They Never Wanted (But Needed) — 2.3k

It seems like the Avengers have to break up a fight between Tony and Natasha at least once a day. Sometimes more. It's kind of hard to believe they'd kill for each other until it happens.

Wish that You Were Here — 9.6k

Five times Peter got help from one of the Avengers.

Loki Laufeyson Focus

Loptr Farm — 17k

Where Loki decides that the best place to stay hidden in all the realms, is right in the dead smack middle of Iowa.

And of course, Clint's dog runs away from his farm and ends up in the middle of it all.

Once You Go Red... — 123k

“Listen!” Matt huffed. “It just… It doesn’t work, ok? I can’t… We’re too different. We’re too different, Wade.” He turned towards Pete. He wanted to reach out, to put a hand on his arm, to comfort him. He could taste the salt of the tears welling up in Pete’s eyes. He could hear his breathing starting to come rough. Hell, he could practically feel the kid’s heart breaking. “We’re all too different. It has to stop.” Wade stared at him, dumbfounded. “The fuck you mean we’re too different? It doesn’t work? I know you’re blind but - bullshit. You really can’t see it? We’re perfect for each other. We complement each other. We fit, Matty. We fit together like three fucked up pieces to a completely fucked up puzzle. He’s neutral good. I’m chaotic neutral. And you, Darkness, you’re a chaotic dumbass.” OR The misadventures of Matt Murdock, Wade Wilson, and Peter Parker, idiots in love...

Peter B. Parker: Spiderman, Avenger, and Sort-Of Sugar Baby — 40k

It all began when Peter first turned eighteen. His senior year was just getting into motion when his birthday had rolled around. Technically, it all really started three years prior when he was just fifteen. Nothing happens until Peter is at least eighteen, I do not condone anything underage whether NY's consent law is 17 or not.

Play a little song for me — 10k

"Music is magical," Jarvis explains, smiling gently as Tony listens, rapt. "It's how you find the other half of your soul."  Tony Stark is, as in all things, a special snowflake with not one but two soulmates. He longs all his life to find them, but even when he does, things aren't guaranteed to go smoothly. The universe, after all, is not in the habit of accommodating Tony Stark's desires.

Tony Has a Type — 3.2k

In a universe in which James Rhodes is Iron Man and Tony Stark is his mostly stay at home husband (and Pepper Potts' trophy boyfriend), Tony finds out that Rhodey's team includes a hot tall blonde and a short handsome genius. So he does the most obvious thing a petty and bitchy househusband such as himself would do. He throws a dinner party.

The Words We Read — 3.1k

Your soul words appear when you’re eighteen -- if you’re lucky enough to have them. Only half of the bonded are blessed (or cursed) to see the first words their soulmate will ever say to them. For Tony, he would have rather been the other half of his match. Matches. He’s just glad his father wasn’t alive to see the rejection painted across his skin.

Steve Rogers Focus

The Captain's Mother — 3.2k

Tony looked at the woman with a confused expression before turning to face Steve, who looked pale and shell shocked. “Ma?” He said, quietly, making Tony raise his eyebrows. “That’s your mom?” Tony asked, pointing at the unconscious woman, Steve just nodded, “Well, this must be a time machine of some kind, her DNA does connect to yours, after all,” “She can’t be here-” “I know, Cap, but this machine looks like it was a one-use deal, if the smoking is anything to go by. I’ll have to fix it or build a new one before she can leave,” OR, Tony touches something he shouldn't have, Sarah Rogers is a gift to this world, and Steve is just tired.

He's Got a Secret — 6.9k

Tony snorted. “Are you planning to rent out the Met? I mean, I’m not saying no, the look on his face would be hilarious. But otherwise, I think we can probably make whatever you want to do work with less lead time. We’ve got almost eight months, and I am very, very rich.” Bucky stopped rubbing Tony’s shoulder, ignoring his faint noise of protest. “Eight months?” he repeated. “What are you talking about?” Tony frowned at him. “It’s November.” “Yeah.” “Steve’s birthday is in July.” “Steve’s birthday is when now?”

The Time That's Slipping — 5.7k

“Hello?” she calls. Steve holds his breath again, even as he feels pressure build up behind his eyes. Because that’s his mother’s voice, and he hasn’t heard in twenty one (conscious) years. He doesn’t dare move. OR 'If Steve was going to travel back in time for anything before returning to his own timeline, it would be to see his mom again one last time'

Tony Stark Focus

The Guardians — 35k

Tony is pulled out of his funk after the Civil War by actual space aliens when they come to warn him of an impending attack. Now he's building a new team, going on adventures with his new space friends, and generally just moving on. When Team Cap comes back, they'll find things are different than how they left them. A salty 'Tony doesn't need the team back' post Civil War fic.

Guardian > Avenger — 7.2k

After the events of civil war all Tony wants is to be able to completely throw himself into his work and not think about anything or anyone else. The last thing he needs is a bickering family of guardians landing on his rooftop. And yet...

Lullabies, Lingering Issues, and Love — 7.3k

Tony had been singing all his life, but it was only those special to him that got to hear his most personal hobby. It started with his mom, then to Rhodey, then to the Avengers, then to Peter, and, finally, to the love of his life.

The one where Tony and Stephen should really stop eye-fucking each other, hello, thanos is coming?! — 33k

The Universe is about to end. Thanos is the formidable foe Tony has been worrying about since the Battle of New York and he's finally coming. That's what Tony is worrying about. Or should he be worrying about. But then again who thought throwing him in space with his ex boyfriend was in any way a good idea?

The Other 'Mr Stark': Iron Man’s Mysterious Paramour — 5.3k

Clint leans over to Tony and whispers. “For the record, I know you’re lying. You’re describing the perfect man and he doesn’t exist. You might as well say you’re dating Superman because at least Christopher Reeve was a looker.“

Till Now — 19k

Almost everyone is born with two names on their wrists: your soul mate and your greatest enemy. Tony never thought much of it. His soul mate disappeared years ago, presumed dead, and his greatest enemy is definitely long dead. It turns out that neither of those things are true.

Tony Stark is Not a Supervillain (But his Poker Group All Are) — 3.2k

A superhero walks into a room full of villains - and they play poker and give him a drink. After all, it's the polite thing to do. Only then they get to liking him, and all of a sudden they're slaying dragons for the good guys. It's very disconcerting, but kind of nice.
