Tenacious Ginny and "chip-off-the-old-block" H.A. are the focus of his life, and it's up to him to make it successfully through each day with them. But with mysterious messages sent to him seemingly from beyond the grave, Tony questions not only his sanity, but his ability to discern what the messages mean.

Pepper has been made a servant to her own family with no escape in sight. But will a masquerade party at Stark Industries change her fate, especially when she meets the one himself? Now thrown into a dangerous world of secrets, spies, assassinations, betrayal, and corporate corruption, Pepper has to do everything in her power to protect the ones she loves.

It's been three years since they've walked out of each other's life, yet things seem to be as, if not more, complicated than it was back then. Hardships and heartaches soon follow, but that's what life is all about, isn't it? What is love without a little turbulence?

Five times that something was wrong with Tony and someone noticed, and one time that they actually did something to help him.

Tony Stark would do anything to be allowed to see his daughter. "As Tony looked down at the little girl in his arms, something stirred within him. He couldn't identify it, but it wasn't unpleasant; in fact, it was warm and – wow – it kind of made it hard to breathe."

AU where Tony loses more than just a properly working heart. Twoshot?

A series (hopefully) of one shot Pepperony ficlets that are a part of my Greatest Reward series but not a part of the main stories themselves. **New** Chapter 30: It's a special day in the Stark household as Eva turns one year old!

Tony Stark does not like to be handed things. Steve Rogers doesn't understand why and he has made it his mission to find out.

Tony had once asked everyone what they wanted their last words to be. Never had he thought any of them would have to say them. Then again, only one of them counts. Warning: Major Character Death.

When Tony was a child, Howard did something terrible to him. He took away his sight. Tony eventually found a cure, but was stuck blind for the bulk of his childhood. This, of course, was kept a secret. Nobody knows. But then again, if the villain underestimates you, you have the advantage, even if you have a disability. Lots of Tony whump!

Even though he is an Avenger, Tony feels undervalued by his teammates. Useful only for Ironman and his tech. When the Tower is attacked, only Tony is able to defend it.

Tony gets injured in battle and J.A.R.V.I.S. forgets to inform him about it – for his own good, apparently. (Part of "Genius, AI & Bots" series.)

Or 5 times one of the Avengers saw a gap in Tony's mask and 1 time they didn't. The Avengers realise they don't know Tony Stark as well as they thought they did. Tony-centric Angst. Contains all the MCU Avengers. 300 favourites

Set shortly after Iron Man 2. Maybe he had got too comfortable in this new situation. Maybe that was the problem and the reason why he could not keep his mouth shut. Pepperony one-shot.

A mission never happens and instead becomes a long wait in the cold for the team. Tony feels it the most as he is the most normal of the group. Cold and a metal alloy suit do not go well together. Basically Tony whump. Rated because I'm paranoid. First try at Avengers.

Tony Stark has everything most people want. Except a child. Isadora Stark has been alone for most of her life, no parents and no home. And she was okay with it. When she catches SHIELD's eye, her life is turned upside down. Will Tony be able to adapt to the life of parenthood, especially with a child as broken as she is? Or will he fail, like his own father?

The Chitauri left their scars on Manhatten. And the day after they had left still brought terrible things to the Avengers. For when a women shoots Tony Stark for no reason it becomes clear that some one wants to kill them. Rated T because of me being super paranoid. No slash. Tony!Whump Not a Death!Fic.

Steve brings by an old war buddy to meet the team. Except...apparently Bucky and Tony already know of one another. Non slash, emotional whump and Bucky/Steve feels. Mentions of PTSD and torture.

Only one person knows and she will share the stories through her eyes who Tony Stark really is after the sun sets. Rated T for language and teeny tiny innuendos. (Its Tony Stark, people, it's expected)

Tony and Pepper become pen pals, then friends, then...well let's see where it goes. Rated T for future chapters.

Takes place right after Harley Keener walks into his new tricked out garage in Iron Man 3. Basically Tony sticks around to talk and introduce all his toys and robot friends.

Oneshot. Tony's panic attacks have gotten worse as of late.

During the Battle of Manhattan, Tony was severely injured. Steve's blaming himself and can't see past his guilt. Then a baby is found in the lobby of Stark Tower...how hard can it be for a team of superheroes to raise a kid? Stony, Superfamily, Clintasha, Rainbows, and Sunshine.

Tony realizes that he's been overworking Pepper and makes her take a vacation. Post-IM1 and pre-IM2. Rated because Tony can be a potty mouth. Eventual Pepperony.

Not all missions end on a happy note. Sometimes things happen that not even the Avengers can prevent or fix. After missions such as these, the team can do nothing but go home and deal with it and they each do so in their own ways, but what Tony does is something that no one, not even his teammates, would have expected. No Slash. One-Shot.

My take on the IM3 Shower Scene. Standard disclaimers apply. I don't own them. If I did, we would have SEEN the IM3 Shower Scene. Reviews would be great. HAPPY READING!

After being kidnapped, tortured..The Expo attack, The attack on New York..All of it weighed down on Tony. It felt like the whole world was against him. He rarely slept, he found little enjoyment in the outside world, things he used to love doing other than building the army of suits hidden in the basement, he found no joy. His nights were worse..far worse...

Challenge: Sometimes, being Tony Stark really sucked. Having Asthma was part of it, you know...being allergic to Cold...and Cats...and Dust and Pollen...and Exercise- okay screw that. Having Asthma just sucked in general.

Tony reflects on his place in the world.

It's been two years since spring break and Tony and Pepper are finally getting married. Pepperony fluff.

Five moments when Tony just couldn't hold it in any longer. The sarcasm he hid behind was on thin ice, and he had to snap.

That's my take on the scene in IM3 where Tony is having a nightmare. Tony freaks out, does something stupid and Pepper needs to be there to help him sort it out.If you haven't seen the movie yet, mild SPOILERS ahead. Angsty, fluffy and full of good old Pepperony. I suck at summaries, but give it a go! A NEW, SLIGHTLY RANDOM CHAPTER IS UP, SO DO CHECK IT OUT!

This is my version of what happened when Tony got home from the Ten Rings and how he dealt with his Arc Reactor he made in the cave. It's actually really good, read it. Even though in the story it says that the story's idea is mine, it's pretty much the same one from the first Ironman movie, which I do not own.

"That's it", Tony said, "I'm dying".

And what happens when a mysterious force comes to terrorize the Avengers, and THINGS happen...

When Tony loses controll of his car, he might just lose the one thing he cant live without too. Unless he can swallow his pride, and make her the ARC reactor she so despratly needs to survive.

Tony would often wonder if Yinsen was proud of him. But on one evening, he sees a familiar face in his living room, a man he thought long dead.

"Listen to that, Mr. Stark, listen to the pleas and cries of your beloved Avengers and know that you are the reason that they are in this mess."

The Merchant of Death. It was a name Tony Stark had recently heard. One he'd jokingly said wasn't that bad before picking up a reporter. That was before he'd watched good men die and taken Stark weapon shrapnel to the chest. Until he was fighting for his life and struggling for air. Putting his genius towards a new project and a new purpose. All he had needed was a box of scraps.

'It took about a minute of hair stroking and gentle murmurs that he was safe now, but eventually Tony calmed down and stopped shaking, his entire body relaxing as it succumbed to a deep and dreamless sleep.'

As Tony's trust in his team grows, he tells them one by one the truth about the most fragile part of himself - the arc reactor sitting in his chest. Teamfic.

Tony's dreams hadn't been welcoming for a long time...

Answer to challenge. Tony Stark was many things, but one of his most rarest status, was that he was a victim of PTSD...Not that he'd let anyone know.

It's the feeling of air all around you, but nothing getting in. A scrap metal heart pressed on your lungs, cutting your breath in two. It's been three months, but the feeling hasn't left you.
