    Summary

    So Jarvis is the one who pulls her up onto her feet, presses a tool into one hand and a book into the other and tells her to create. Tells her that if the numbers and the shapes and images in her mind hurt so bad then she should build them, should give them form so that they can finally leave her alone.

    Jarvis is the one who finally teaches her how to breathe.

    Or

    Toni Stark grows up with the tale of Icarus swirling in the back of her mind. Instead of taking it as a precautionary tale about hubris and overreaching she decides it's more about the limitations of wax.

    Years later when she builds herself wings of her own she makes sure to build them out of better material.

    Summary

    “You’ve got war in your heart boy,” Howard sneers, “don’t ever try and pretend to be anything but what you are.”

    Tony feels the familiar burn of a flower mark being etched into his skin but he doesn’t look, doesn’t try and check to see what it is. Instead he keeps his eyes on Howard and his hands cupped around his bleeding mouth and nose.

    Summary

    An extended look at how Tony lost his team and found his family.

    So help me, I will give all of these characters the happy ending they deserve, in the happiest multi-verse that ever existed (after some Rough Times because that’s just life.)

    Featuring
    - a less problematic Spider-Man recruitment scene
    - JARVIS mandated Sex-Ed
    - a Tony Stark Defense Squad worth something
    - zero character deaths
    - and the all important answer to the question Tony Stark Happiness = ?

    (Bucky deserves better than where we last left him.)
