Summary
14,000,605 universes and only one win in the time Doctor Strange had to look.
This is not the universe where they won against Thanos. Sitting in the ruins of their battlefield, knowing everything he swore to protect, his universe was coming to an end, Stephen makes a choice.
Sacrificing his body for a spell, he takes the only souls he knows can orchestrate a victory back in time. A spell created by his own hands, fueled with his sacrifice, he catapults himself and Tony Stark back to the moments of their birth.
With their reality at stake, they need to create a chance for their time-line to win. After all, their universe wasn't the one that won.

Summary
“No.” Tony shook his head, heart beating wild and rapid, the monitors he was hooked up to a cacophony of sound. “You might have missed it, Strange, but last time I tried to prepare the world for what was coming, half the universe died. Why me?” Why not someone else, why not Steve fucking Rogers, the man with the plan, why not Rhodey, why not Pepper, why him?
“Because you’re a scientist. A futurist. We chose you, Stark. But you have to accept.”
Tony didn’t want to.
“You’re going to regret it,” Tony said quietly. The beeping of the monitors had slowed, the panic had faded away leaving only a quiet exhaustion.
“I don’t think so.” And Strange sounded so sure.
Tony closed his eyes. He wanted to say no, wanted to let go of the weight of the world that had already crushed him. But he couldn’t do that. Couldn’t do that when Strange had used his last chance to save the world, banking on him. “Alright.” He swallowed hard, forcing himself to nod. “Okay. Send me back.”

Summary
"Fuck this," Tony grumbled to himself as he tried not to yank on the car battery cables connected to his chest in frustration. "Fuck Thanos, fuck time travel, fuck the fucking glow stones."
He paused, glowering up at the security camera blinking away in the corner of the cave.
"Actually fuck everything," he growled slightly louder. "Imma Mary Sue the shit out of myself, just you fucking watch."

Summary
Tony opened his eyes.
Tony opened his eyes.
To say that he was surprised that he wasn’t dead was an understatement, but the warm body lying next to him was an even bigger shock. He physically recoiled at the bleach-blond woman who wasn’t his wife snoring gently into the pillow next to him, and he didn’t need to see the face to know this stranger’s presence was deeply, horribly wrong.
***
After the events of Avengers: Endgame, Tony Stark wakes up in 1990 in the body of his 20 year old self. He is not okay with that.

Summary
Tony can't get himself back from Siberia, and it takes the night for him to be rescued. While waiting to see if he'll die of hypothermia, he realises something for the first time. It wasn't that he failed because he hadn't tried hard enough. He had failed because he had tried too hard. His so-called team-mates had formed the habit of blaming Tony for everything because he had let them. He had shouldered the blame, let them attack him without consequence, and cleaned up after their mess, all so they could continue to feel self-righteous in peace. But it wasn't just him they were attacking, and saving the world didn't give them a free pass to be the very bullies that Steve claimed to fight against.
Tony woke up in hospital, still sustained by the relief of his realisation. Things sucked, but they would get better. He was Tony Stark, and no challenge was too much for him. It was odd how much easier it was to plot when he actually did intend ways to manipulate the ex-Avengers into falling in line. And since that was what they seemed convinced he was doing all along, they didn't deserve a warning that it would now be true.

Summary
Bucky didn't quite believe the email when Shuri first showed it to him. Why on Earth would Tony Stark agree to house him? Not only that, but to help him?
But if there was a chance, no matter how small, that he could get rid of the Soldier...
Well, he just had to take it.
Percy's wasn't sure what to think.
On one hand, he feels for Bucky Barnes. The man's been through hell and back; something Percy knows all too much about.
But on the other, he's a ticking time bomb. Percy wants to help him, he really does. But if the Soldier made a reappearance...
Percy knew he'd have no choice but to put his duty first.
To kill James Barnes without hesitation.

Summary
At 6 years old, the son of Tony and Pepper Stark, Peter, is kidnapped, never to be seen again. Or, so they thought. Ten years later, while raiding a HYDRA base, the Avengers come across a new, enhanced individual, working for the enemy: in black spandex, with a tendency to stick to walls and shoot webs from his wrists, the Black Spider is a pain in the ass in more ways than one.

Summary
“I know all about your secret identity.”
A beat of silence. “Um,” Peter said, bunching his sweater in his hands. “Which… which one?”
--
Peter has three secret identities: Spider-Man, the superhero who swings around the city to save people. Parker Benjamin, who gives Tony Stark unsolicited advice on his research. And NightMonkey, the Instagrammer who keeps uploading increasingly popular but embarrassing drawings of Iron Man.
And he can juggle them all just fine, thankyouverymuch. -

There's a loud crack.
And the mask falls.

Alternatively,
The mask doesn't fall off. And Captain America snaps the neck of the Winter Soldier.
