Summary
When they had first started dating, Pepper’s morning alarm had sent Tony into a drowsy, detached rage, his hand slamming down against the alarm clock she insisted on using. After he had broken the third alarm clock, Pepper had decided to get herself a nightstand at the Malibu house so that she could place the clock on her side of the bed, very much out of his reach.

Summary
“Jesus,” Pepper whispers, drinking in the sight of a dripping wet, naked Tony Stark standing in front of her fireplace. She nearly drops the bundle of clothes she’s holding against her chest, thankful that she had never been able to make herself get rid of most of his clothes, having often worn a pair of his sweatpants or an old t-shirt whenever she needed him close.

Summary
As she walks, her heels clicking smartly against the sidewalk, she fishes her cellphone out of her purse. Her eyebrows draw together as her screen illuminates: 3 New Messages from Tony Stark.
“Oh, God,” Pepper murmurs, shooting up a silent prayer to any sympathetic deity that may be listening. If Tony has managed to land himself in the emergency room as he very nearly had last month, he will only have himself to blame. Pepper had told him that she didn’t think it would be wise for him to attempt six consecutive backflips…

Summary
He’s good at playing games — much better than Pepper, who often frustrates Morgan by asking too many questions, wanting to outline the rules — so he closes his eyes. He flinches at the first brush of the gloppy, cold substance through his hair. Morgan sections his hair in clumps, somehow she has procured one of the brushes used for applying hair dye. Tony would know them very well, having only recently abandoned dyeing his hair. He doesn’t think anything of it, no doubt there’s a huge pile of those brushes under the bathroom sink, relics of the thousands of dollars he had given to Just For Men.
The smell, though… The smell isn’t right — it smells almost like — “Morgan, is that bleach?”

Summary
Somehow, playing in front of other people makes Tony shy and uncomfortable — Tony, shy and uncomfortable? — his cheeks will flush, he’ll start to stammer, and he’ll quickly shut the lid over the piano keys. Sometimes, when he’s in a good mood, he’ll pound out the opening bars of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, completely drowning her out as she tries to review Stark Industries’ daily stock performance with him. Occasionally, when he knows he’s in trouble, he’ll grin at her and play some stupid song from Star Wars. Pepper wouldn’t know it, having never seen the movies, but the heavy, intimidating notes are obviously for a villain, which she supposes she is to him. She doesn’t know any villains that actively try to help the hero become responsible, or any villains that keep the hero’s life from falling apart — but fine, she’s a villain.

Summary
“It's Friday?” Peter sits up so fast that Tony only just manages to pull back before the top of Peter’s head can collide with his chin. “Today's Friday?”
“That’s right,” Tony grunts, scooping Peter off of his lap and setting him on his feet. Peter frantically wrenches his pajama shirt over his head, he gets tangled in the sleeves and starts to struggle, but Tony is there to guide his arms free. Peter looks up at him with a flushed face, his eyes bright with excitement, and Tony wonders if he has somehow time traveled four months into the future and it is actually Peter’s birthday.
“Today's the Spring Fling!”

Summary
Pepper wipes her mouth with a napkin, nudging her empty plate aside, casting another thoughtful glance at Tony’s breakfast. She’ll let him sleep for a little while longer, she decides, leaving Tony’s plate and coffee when she clears the table. He’ll need to be up by 10 to take his medication for his atrial fibrillation, which he would absolutely forget to take were it not for Pepper. Speaking of pills… Pepper grimaces, opening up the Monday Morning compartment of her pill organizer, dumping out a small assortment of pills of various sizes and colors onto her palm. She’s gotten her blood pressure under control, at least, and Tony had very solemnly accepted the blame on behalf of Stark Industries when she had come home frazzled, freshly diagnosed with hypertension.

Summary
He had felt fine all day, barring the headache — but that was a constant that he rarely thought about, swallowing fistfuls of ibuprofen whenever the pain made his eyes water. Tony had left Stark Industries, Pepper’s perfume swirling around him, grinning to himself as he allowed himself to relive the past hour he had spent in Pepper’s office, with her spread out underneath him on her couch. Now that she’s CEO, Tony had offered his services for stress relief, delighted when she had actually taken him up on it (several times now). He had made his way to his Audi with a literal spring in his step, making a list of all the ingredients he would need to pick up for tonight’s dinner, having finally settled on an entry from Maria Stark’s overflowing recipe book. As he slid behind the steering wheel, his hands had clapped to the sides of his head, a strained scream leaving him, his fingers digging into his scalp as he struggled to hold his head together while it was split in two.

“I really need your answer on the Apogee Award, Tony.”
“Christ, again? Didn’t we just talk about this?”
“Last week,” Pepper sighs, tapping on her Blackberry, her head bowed as she attempts to appear hard at work when she’s inwardly berating herself for not looking beyond Tony’s chest when he’s in a goddamn Speedo. “You told me that you didn’t want to talk about it, then you asked me if I wanted to do a body shot. I decided it wouldn’t be a productive conversation.”

Summary
Huffing and cursing as he stumbles out of the mouth of the alley, grasping at the edge of the nearest building with hands already raw from the cold, Tony starts to kick his feet against the brickwork, wanting to dislodge the damp newspapers clinging to his boots. He nearly falls on his ass when he sees the headline on the front page of the most legible piece of newsprint, the paper torn and smeared from snowmelt.

Summary
He and Tony often climb up onto the roof whenever they are visiting home, mostly so that Tony could sneak a few smokes without inciting Roberta’s wrath. Sometimes, though, they would lay down beside each other and stare up at the stars, talking about whatever was on their minds. Other times, Rhodey would be forced to stand at his window, holding his phone out of it so that the cord could stretch up onto the roof, where Tony murmured snippets of filth to his latest conquest. Rhodey tried very hard not to listen, but sometimes it was impossible not to — Tony never got C’s in Comp, he was very descriptive.

As the adults discuss the lasagna, Maria’s relief at the Potts’ omnivorous diet palpable, Tony and Virginia stare at each other.
“Cool dress,” Tony offers cautiously.
“It’s ironic,” Virginia says.
Tony blinks. He doesn’t think that many kids their age know the definition of the word ironic. He’s actually not entirely sure that he knows the definition. How can a dress be ironic?

Summary
Tony's answer to the final question of whether he would ever allow contact to be made prior to his offspring’s 18th birthday had been instinctive. Tony had checked ‘no’ and had clicked the end of the pen, satisfied by a job well done. A quiet voice at the back of his mind, the voice of his mother, had caused him to scribble over ‘no’ until the bottom of the page was almost entirely consumed by ink. Then, his handwriting cramped but legible, Tony had written yes — in case of medical emergencies or death of legal guardian(s).

So, Tony drank more, he had more sex, and five days ago he had snorted some cocaine, and then had snorted more, and more — until he had woken up in the emergency room, his ribs cracked from CPR, his heart beating fast and erratically, and there had been no one there to hold his hand.

But, hey, Tony could be doing something worse. He could flick the cigarette off the balcony, march into the ballroom, find the nearest attractive person, and fuck them in some cramped supply closet. Whatever vague pleasure derived from a weak orgasm would be, of course, completely drowned out by the cheers of happier people heartily wishing each other ‘happy New Year!’.

Summary
“Go away,” Pepper groans. She should have considered her word choice more carefully, because telling Tony to go away will only increase his curiosity and intensify his belief that she’s masturbating in her office. While that may be an activity he indulges in frequently, Pepper has never once felt particularly aroused while at Stark Industries. Right now, she’s quite certain that she’ll never feel aroused again, because her head is going to explode if the sudden pressure behind her eyes increases any further.
the unthinkable happens: pepper potts comes down with the flu while at the office, and she has no one to care for her. or so she thinks, until her boss, tony stark, insists on driving her home.

Summary
“Oh, God,” he says, his voice almost unintelligible — it sounds like gears grating together, and his right hand presses hard against his throat. His panic over the state of his right eye is dwarfed by the panic that rises in him at the feeling of metal against his throat — metal, instead of the callused skin of his palm. The vitals monitor starts to chime shrilly, his heart rate climbing, as Tony attempts to burrow the fingers of his left hand underneath the panels of the suit gauntlet covering his right arm. Blood streams down the gauntlet as he frantically attempts to wrench his right arm free, the skin and delicate muscles of his fingers shredded by the metal panels. Tony is so intent on removing the gauntlet, sweat beading on his forehead, his teeth gritted together, the whites of his eyes flashing as his eyes roll madly — that he doesn’t feel the pinch of the needle as it is inserted into the base of his neck, the plunger of the syringe is depressed, and Tony falls limply back against the bed.
against all odds, tony stark survives using the infinity stones — but, god, he wishes he hadn't.
