Blinded, deafened, exhausted, injured and afraid, Tony raised himself up into a defensive position, just like Nat had taught him. "That had better be you, Steve Rogers- it had better be you. Disarm me. Don't let me hurt you. Please." Tony snarled, sure it was Steve approaching. Had to be. Had. To. Be. What if it wasn't?

Tony was pretty used to crashing. It seemed like these days more often than not his return to earth in the Iron Man suit was at least somewhat out of control. He couldn't count the number of times he'd used a helpfully situated building to slow a wild descent. He was used to crashing, but he had a feeling crashing in the Quinjet, without his armour, was going to be a bit different.

One shot: There's a reason why Tony Stark is hidden in his labs, and it isn't because there's a former brainwashed, ex-assassin upstairs, though he's okay with everyone thinking that. He's okay with everyone thinking that he hates James Barnes, though that's furthest thing from the truth. It isn't because he is a teenager girl in love with both Barnes and Rogers.

Tony and Loki decide to go away for the week - no work, no Avengers, no Fury. When Pepper manages to blackmail Tony away, Loki is left to his own devices.

Tony Stark was always small, but this was ridiculous! When Tony is hit by a spell that shrinks him to six inches tall, he trusts that his team will take care of him, only to discover that his trust might be misplaced... Of course, maybe they didn't feel as obligated to watch out for him since he wasn't really an Avenger.

Tony is left unable to speak after a spell hits him during battle. Inspired by the Depeche Mode song of the same name.

He had promised himself that once his weapons were destroyed, he would never return to Afghanistan. He should have known not to accept a mission that would take him back there. He should have known it would only end badly. But above all else, he should have known better than to take his best friend with him. Tony!whump. Clint!whump. No slash.

It may come as a surprise to some none that Tony was a picky eater, had been since birth. His parents had catered to him shamelessly, never forcing him to eat something that made him wrinkle his nose or voice a protest as soon as he was able to formulate how to verbalize his displeasure. It just figures that the one time he goes out on a limb he ends up in the hospital.
