Clint Barton’s dream of a family and a farm was just a sham.

Clint Barton and Laura Barton appreciation post.

Ok, I assume that we all agree that MCU Clint is bad and that his family was added for literally no reason, and they don’t have any meaning in the MCU other than being “family A killed” in Infinity War. We also know that Clint left his family in the Civil War during vacation and went running to Cap to help him, despite not knowing shit about what was actually happening. Tie-in comics want us all to believe that Clint came back to Laura and the kids right away and everything was forgiven, but we all know that if Hollywood was not biased towards “USA is always right and Tony Stark is the devil for listening to the UN”, Clint would not come back so quickly and his wife would be pissed as hell for the fact that he left her basically with 3 kids alone and went Avenging as if he wasn’t retired.

So, because I am a big fan of fleshing out all the characters who were treated as if they were playing a tree in a school play, I wanna think about Laura Barton as SOMEONE who has a story. Like that, she is a badass agent of SHIELD. Maybe that she was actually the first Mockingbird in MCU verse and now when she is no longer active duty, the one we know from the comics took her place. Laura is completely capable to protect her family alone, but 3 kids is not a walk in a park, and she doesn’t want to be a single mother, so because Clint broke the rules, now he is toasted, and a new person can enter Laura’s life. As much as I like Phil x Clint I also like the idea of Phil x Laura. I trust Phil to be less reckless and less prone to leave his so behind. I never watched Agents of SHIELD, but I like to think that Phil would have enough of SHIELD so much that even if he stayed and became the new director, he would be so fed up, he would prefer to stay at home with the kids and help Laura than deal with anything SHIELD related. He is not Fury, he doesn’t have to be in all places, and he doesn’t have to be the top best spy of the spy pyramid. Maybe I am reading him wrong, but it’s how I see him as a character after his miraculous resurrection via TAHITI.

Also, the divorce between Laura and Clint in addition to his incarceration in the RAFT is a good opening to explore his background. Like, I think we all miss the Clint who had a brother and tragic backstory and who used to be a criminal. Imagine how much that anger at Tony in the RAFT could be just him lashing out, because he felt he ended in the square one again, but didn’t want to actually admit it that he made a mistake and just doubled down on it for a bit. Imagine that he loves Laura and the kids, but realizes he is not actually cut to be a family man in the first place. That he only pursued that life, because he thought he wanted an experience of a normal family, which he never got as a kid with his own father. Imagine him realizing he cannot play house anymore and feeling horrible that he used Laura to get his dream come true, only to it all fall like a house of cards, because he never realized it was not what he wanted in the end. He gets his visiting rights, just like Scott did with Meggy and Cassie, and they both bond over not being cut for being a husband which their wives needed, but still caring and loving their families and helping when they can, just from the outside, and accepting that the fact that they failed means that their loved ones can get something better out of it all. Dunno how to factor his brainwashing trauma into all of this yet, but I think it can be squeezed somewhere there.

Also, double points of disapointing Laura if she as a Mockingbird was the one who conscripted Clint from the circus. He would fail her then not only as a husband and a father of their kids, but also as the partner she picked. At least in Clint’s head it would look like all she did for him was wasted, when he was in the RAFT and was labeled as a criminal again. Good source of personal drama if you ask me.

BTW we all know Clint should have been in CA:TWS and the only reason why he wasn’t there was that MCU didn’t care about him, and if they already planned for him to have a family, then him being there would mean no massacre of the thousands of agents and their families when they released the files. He would just not allow them to foolishly endanger all those people, his family included.

Speaking of Laura Barton just reminds me that I am eternally pissed that female characters in MCU are always the ones which get the shorter end of the stick. People like Christine Everhart who is important for the IM1, but then just disappears in later movies, despite being very useful character for various plots. Next is Natasha who despite being main Avenger was treated as a decoration most of the time instead of given proper treatment, like her own movie and less sexualization of a slavic woman, next is Maya Hansen who dies, despite having a lot more potential as a villain than Killian, and then we also have invisible Mrs. Keener who is only mentioned and if I ever wanted to have her as a character I would have to use “Original Female Character” tag on AO3, because she just doesn’t exist so much in that goddamn movie. Then we also have Pepper, who despite being badass gets sidelined a lot in movies in which she could get an active role (like for example I like to think that Tony would be unable to extract Extremis from her, but would be able to make it stable and then Pepper would be technically an enhanced which would give her a goddamn reason to be in Civil War instead of being thrown out by the single “we are on a break” line, which was added only to explain why she isn’t there). And ofc let’s not forget about Jane and Darcy who should have been in the first Avengers movie, but got conveniently shipped somewhere else, because people in Hollywood are under the impression that if Thor and Jane were in the same Avengers movie, she would become a damsel in distress he has to worry about, instead of an actual help to the science team during the time when they were trying to find the Tesseract. Let’s include Betty Ross in this, because she is a scientist too, and she would be hella fucking useful there too. Who else? Sharon Carter is technically cool and technically badass, but everybody forgets about her the moment Cap gives her the kiss and then the movie dismisses her entire existence till TFTWS where she suddenly is a Power Broker. Like, I love the idea, but I hate that she wasn’t more visible, that it wasn’t established earlier that for example in Civil War she was helping Zemo all the time, so his plan would look less like a very convenient writing which assumes he can predict everything and knows everything and instead, she would be giving him information and picking his slack in places where his plan just fails miserably. Then it would be more believable that she was a Power Broker. Her becoming one after the Civil War makes little sense to me. Her being one all along, however. Yes that makes sense to me so much more, and it doesn’t make her Hydra like she was in the comics. She is just a resourceful woman, but even a resourceful woman needs to create openings for her power to grow and taking down Avengers, or at least making half of the world hate them and letting Zemo break them apart, is something which creates enough power vacuum for her own plans to unfold.

Did I miss someone?

Laura - hero, agent, first MCU Mockingbird. Movie or TV series would be nice. How she and Clint met and stuff like those. Her badass younger years before MCU reduced her to the “mum” role forever, as if she existed only for that alone. I don’t mind motherhood, but I hate when a character’s only trait is a being a mum, so I like to think that Laura is so much more than Clint Barton’s wife. She was the one who conscripted Clint from the circus, and then when he concripted Natasha, they were an unbeatable team for a while, before she retired. (The timeline of Natasha’s conscription says 2008, but Cooper in 2015 looks as old as Harley in IM3 (around 10yo), so he would have to be born before 2008. Maybe Laura just had a nanny at first to take care of Cooper during missions and continued her work for SHIELD and then retired to be a “proper mum”?)

Christine Everhart - journalist, she could be talking and introducing and dissecting so many storylines. She is a very useful meta character, who can ask the questions you need for your storylines and chase the stories you want to be shown to the audience. She also provides a good framework to make the audience question the morality of the heroes and their actions in real life.

Natasha Romanoff - villain to hero, more standalone movies, being treated right instead of a garbage disposal for white male thirst over slavic women. She barely has a character arc in MCU, and she deserves so much better than those scattered pieces that we actually got. She has so much potential to be so much more. To have an actual consistent story instead of disjointed pieces of one. (Like, seriously, we as fandom pick MCU’s slack so much that our own ideas about Natasha’s character arc, our own fillings in the blacks MCU left are better than what is actually in the movies). I recently realized that her MCU canon story makes more sense if she was treated as a villain by the rest of the Avengers since her first appearance, but was villain on a road to redemption. All her actions in the movies are then progression and regression in her journey to becoming a hero which other heroes treat like a hero equal to them.

Maya Hansen - scientist, villain, new head of AIM. Genius, resourceful woman, who knows what she wants and knows how to get things done. (I see her kinda in the same role as the Monica Rappaccini from Marvel’s Avengers game, manipulating Killian). You think she died? Well, you are very very very wrong. Faking her own death was a performance so good even Tony didn’t notice.

Pepper Potts - scarily efficient businesswoman, can be a hero, but chose not to. Instead, she is the most successful female CEO and also an advocate for enhanced human rights. She is financing legal help for any person who was wronged or experimented on by someone (like, for example, SHIELD or Ross).

Jane Foster - scientist, hero, specialist in Einstein-Rosen bridges, but not only that. She is an astrophysicist, so she can be useful for many science related stories involving space, not necessarily related to space travel via Bifrost only. Later becomes Mighty Thor, but never abandons science. You can deal with a lot of problems by swinging Mjölnir at them, but most often than not it's better to use intelligence instead to meet the results which brute strength cannot give you.

Darcy Levis - scientist, smart and cheerful. She looks as if she was there only as a comic relief, but she thinks outside the box and provides the insight which some other scientists or specialists often miss due to them being too rigorous in their approach to the science. Her laid-back personality is her superpower. She can come up with more stupider and laid back shit than even Tony can on his best days. That’s why she is irreplacable. We need such fresh eyes as hers.

Betty Ross - badass scientist, hero, who isn’t afraid to take on a whole military in order to protect the people she cares about (Bruce Banner and the Hulk). I hate 2008 Hulk movie, so when I think about Betty, I always imagine Incredible Hulk 1996 version of her. The bold and very caring person, but also surprisingly two-faced. That Betty in one breath can sweet talk her father into doing what she wants and in the second talk trash behind his back and trick him to get all the funding and equipment she needs in order to protect her loved ones. Also, later becomes first MCU Red Hulk, because fuck Thaddeus.

Sharon Carter - villain, agent, spy, Power Broker. A person who knows how to play the game and knows how to play her cards well. Everybody is a pawn in her plans. Everybody is useful and everybody can be used to further her own goals. Steve Rogers thought he was using her, but in fact she was using him all along. Avengers were too much of a sore spot in her ass and hindered a lot of business she could do, so she helped Zemo to get rid of them. Now most of them are fugitives, and she is happily stretching her wings even further. You think Hydra never dies? One head taken down, two grow in its place? Try to take down Sharon Carter who played all, good and evil like a fiddle. The whole world is her playground.

Most of those are my own headcanons. I literally had to build Mrs. Keener from the ground, because like I said, she wasn’t even cast. She doesn’t exist. I had to make her up and in my head she is cool older version of Mikaela Banes from Transformers (but in like spirit, not the “sexy bomb” style, she likes cars, she is a mechanic). She works at a dinner and her trash of a husband run away when she was pregnant and their first kid was just 4yo. Harley is badass after her.

Fluffbruary - Day 2 chocolate | star gazing | rain

Fandom: Marvel (Clint Barton/Scott Lang)

The rain was beating down against the window, they’d originally planned to go on an adventure to the zoo today, before the weatherman’s betrayal. Luckily they had something just for days like this, a pile of board games, the switch, and their family D&D campaign. The challenge now was just figuring out what to play, monopoly (cheaters edition) would start a war, Mario Kart was as competitive as could be, and they were currently figuring out how to revive Scott in D&D.

They eventually settled on a Mario Kart championship, they had a system with points to ensure you played everyone, and Kate was determined to defend her crown. Scott had created the accompanying spreadsheet during a bout of insomnia, they’d all teased him for it once, but now it was being cast to the TV, offering the only light aside from the projector and grey skies outside.

The point system was developed so that you got 15 points for winning a race, 14 for coming second, and so on. Over the qualifying Grands Prix you would accumulate a maximum of 180 points. The two with the least points would be put in the bronze league, and race for the chance to race the person with the 2nd most points in the silver league. The silver league would then race for the chance to race the person with the most points in the gold league, and claim the title of champion. Benefits of being the champion were first choice in films the next 2 movie nights, and first choice in celebratory takeout. Any tied points were challenged in time trials, fastest time getting an additional .5 points to put them ahead without risk of tying again. Should the final Grand Prix result in a tie your overall individual race wins or a re-match would determine your fate.

Qualifying rounds were decided on randomly, apparently, his brand of insomnia included coding randomizers in Excel. Clint was convinced he was one sleepless night away from making them an app just for these championships. The randomizer declared Clint vs Cassie as the starting lineup, The non-racers deciding on them doing the mushroom cup. 200cc was standard in this house, and the first race went well, Cassie coming in 1st thanks to an immaculately timed shell wiping Clint out right before the finish. He got his payback in the next race, it was filled with light-hearted bickering and taunts. The round was finished with Cassie at 57 points and Clint at 58.

The next set of races was Clint vs Scott, it was filled with attempts to distract each other with random flirting, but also jokes about sleeping on the couch with every shell, ink, or otherwise frustrating item drop. Both of them ended with 58 points, winning in a pattern of Clint, Scott, Clint, Scott. The girls spent it cheering on their respective dad/not-dad, each trying to coax Lucky to help their cause to no avail.

Cassie vs Scott was the next round, and while he loved his daughter very much, Scott did not pull punches in Mario Kart, she got sheeled just as much as she shelled him. The tables turned with Kate now cheering on her not-sister, Clint cheering on Scott. Once again Cassie showed pure tactical genius with her item drops, never missing a shell throw. She came out on top with a whopping 59 points, Scott only winning once and earning a respectable 57. It had been the lightning cup, and N64 Rainbow Road had been his single victory.

That only left Kate’s races, she didn’t mind going last, it gave her a chance to analyze and re-familiarize herself with each of their driving styles, in essence, she had the advantage. Her first cup was with Clint, she was out of practice despite the non-championship games they played on a regular basis, but that didn’t stop her from winning all but the first one. When it came to Mario Kart, she was a force to reckoned with. The final scores for the round were 59 for Kate, and 56 for Clint who managed to get a blue shell throwing him in 3rd.

Her round with Scott went similarly, although in the first race she lost to an AI racer of all things, but still took home the 1 point advantage with 2nd place. Scott knowing she was a good sport, tried some of his cheatier techniques, only to take his eyes off the projection and promptly be floated back to safety by everyone’s favourite cloud pal. It wasn’t until the last race he saw the error in his ways, but even with his complete focus, he still took second. Those mistakes left him on 55, Kate soaring ahead with another 59.

Her final round with Cassie was looking like another surefire 59 or even a home run with 60, but it was far closer. Her shell and item skills made her a tough opponent, it was like a replay of Scott and Clint’s round, close finishes going back and forth between them. Both the girls ended on 58. It was looking like her throne would be up for grabs, and with the progress Cassie had made, she wouldn’t be mad handing it over.

The final tallies came to Scott in last place with 170, Clint right behind him with 172 in the bronze league, Cassie stealing 2nd and stealing her spot in the silver league, and Kate with 176 ready to defend her title in the gold league. Scott decided this was the perfect time to call for a snack break, disappearing into their kitchen before returning with the fruit bowl and a small stash of popcorn. The minute they were done eating both men had a joycon in hand and were ready to fight for the chance at redemption.

Unsurprisingly it was filled with even more gentle jabs and taunting, and the girls trying harder than ever to get Lucky to cause havoc with pieces of popcorn as bribes. Despite their best efforts, both men were intently focused on the race, only enough room to bump shoulders in hopes it would send the other off course. After the cup was over, Clint was victorious, earning his right to the silver league. He promptly rubbed his victory in Scott’s face, before apologizing with a kiss, and letting him know they could practice while Cassie was at school.

Cassie had lost to Clint once already today, she was not going to let it happen again. Unfortunately for Clint, she now had 2 cheerleaders, leaving him with none. The game was playing favorites too, Cassie got shell after shell, and she didn’t miss a single shot. He’d be proud if it wasn’t costing him a chance at winning, okay he was still proud despite it being a hindrance. She won all but one of the races, and rightfully she was extremely proud of herself and not afraid to show it. She’d been craving ice cream and waffles from a particular place for ages, and that was all the motivation she needed to keep going.

The final cup, the one to determine who would wear the crown until the next championship, was intense. Both Kate and Cassie were focused on the game, Clint and Scott watching in silence as Cassie’s precision shells were being dodged by some miracle on Kate’s part. Every race ended in the Mario Kart version of a photo finish, the girls gripping onto their controllers for dear life as the 1st and 2nd reveals flashed on the wall. First race Kate took the win, second went to Cassie, third to Cassie.

Final race both of them gave it their all, their hands sweating from the sheer focus they were putting into it. Cassie was in 2nd, but on her final box she managed to hit a mushroom, 5% probability and she’d done it, right before the finish line, a hairs width behind kate, she activated it, flying past her to victory. She almost threw the joycon in her excitement, the safety strap saving her pocket money.

Kate was surprised, she was expecting for it to go to a tie-breaker. That didn’t however stop her from praising her not-sister and humbly handing over the Lakitu pin of Mario Kart superiority, ready to be properly bestowed to her in the crowning ceremony. They got the coffee table, placing it in front of the projection that was now playing silent fireworks on loop. The winner got to choose a song for their national anthem, so as Bohemian Rhapsody blasted through the apartment the pin was stuck to her shirt as she beamed with pride. She already knew what her first declaration as supreme ruler would be.

“We’re having waffles for dinner.”

Final WC: 1462

Once again I said "Just a 500 word short, no more than 1,000." I am a liar. This one is also a day late thanks to the sleep disorder, and I still have to do todays. I swear the 3rd will not be longer than 1000 words... hopefully, I actually have no control over the words sometimes.

Happy I got to dome some Hawkant already, love this ship. Using this in my mission to get them to 150 on ao3. Will have to start a drabbles work as I will be writing them more this month.

new perspective

pairings: natasha romanoff x reader, clint barton x scott lang (implied)

word count: 1,106

warnings: slight swearing, angst if you squint, FLUFF

a/n: for @caws5749 fanfic night!

"nah, i wouldn't call it stalking. more like... long distance admiring," you claimed, pushing natasha's hair behind her ear.

natasha raised an eyebrow and then laughed, her smile filling up the room. you felt your cheeks flush, but began laughing with her. "yeah, right. clint is totally stalking that poor kid."

you laughed, flopping down on natasha's bed, your head hitting her pillow softly. "scott can handle himself. besides, hope is basically his guard dog," you chuckled, soliciting a snort from nat. "weren't they dating?" natasha asks, to which you shrugged.

"i think, for like, a couple months. guess it didn't work out." natasha smiled. "good. more hope van dyne for me," she said with a wink.

you and natasha had been friends ever since you transferred to marvel high, and you had a crush on her the entire time. every time she smiled at you, or laughed, or winked, or just even looked at you, butterflies filled your entire body. it was like torture.

you stood up quickly, looking around natasha's room for some sort of excuse, when your eyes landed on an acoustic guitar in the corner. you turned back to natasha, who smiled and shook her head, looking down. "you want me to play, don't you."

"i mean, yeah, i didn't know you could," you stammered. natasha rose from the bed, and you laid back down. she took the guitar and climbed back onto the bed, sitting with her legs crossed.

she looked at you and smiled, to which your stomach did backflips. "you like panic at the disco?" she asked. you nodded. "i mean, i like their music, but not really past vices, and brendon's a horrible person-" natasha put her finger over your lips, efficiently shutting you up.

"i just asked. didn't need a whole speech," she chuckled, placing her hand on the neck of the guitar. she began playing a slower version of panic at the disco's new perspective, which was one of your favorite songs.

she seemed extremely focused, but glanced at you as she began the lyrics. "i feel the salty waves come in, i feel them crash against my skin, and i smile as i respire because i know they'll never win." her voice was low and rough, but it made you feel safe. something about it felt like home.

"there's a haze above my tv, that changes everything i see, and maybe if i continue watching, i'll lose the traits that worry me." you outstretched your arm and placed your hand on her thigh. you though you saw her blush a bit, but pass it off as your imagination.

"can we fast forward till you go down on me?" her singing was broken up by laughter in that verse, but she shut her eyes and focused as the chorus began.

"stop there and let me correct it, i wanna live a life from a new perspective." she glanced down, smiling. "you come along because i love your face, and i'll admire your expensive taste." you felt your cheeks flush red hot, and her smile softened.

"and who cares, divine intervention, i wanna be praised from a new perspective. but leaving now would be a good idea, so catch me up on getting out of here..." her voice trailed off as she gazed at you. quickly and suddenly, she nearly threw the guitar off the bed and leaned down, cupping your cheeks in her hands and pressing her lips against yours.

you jolted up in surprise, pushing her off of you in the process. she drew back, staring at you. "did- did i-" you cut her off, pulling her in by the back of her neck. she followed your lead and kissed back hard, her lips soft and warm. her hands tangled in your hair and the both of you fell back on the bed.

she gazed down at you, breathing hard and quick. she started laughing, running her fingers through her hair. "that- that just happened, didn't it?" she asked, leaning back on her heels. you sat up too, nodding. "yeah. it- it, uh, certainly happened."

natasha looked at you, stars in her eyes. "i take it you have a crush on me," she breathed. you tucked your hair behind your ears, embarrassed. "i think at this point it would qualify as more than a crush," you mumbled.

nat nodded, placing her hand on top of yours. "i've felt the same way for a while now. at first i just thought it was a silly crush, y'know? so i didn't say anything. and then it just got worse and worse." she looked at you, her eyebrows furrowing. "you really didn't make it easy for me."

you laughed, leaning on natasha's shoulder. "yeah, right. you're the one who made it difficult. i mean, it's pretty hard to not fall in love with you."

natasha slid to the side, pushing you off her shoulder. you met her eyes and saw a hint of panic "fall- fall in love?" she asked. you nodded, slightly confused. "...yeah? that's what i meant when i said it was more than a crush."

she nodded, trying to take in. "right. yeah, shit," she mumbled, smacking herself in the head. you grabbed her wrist, looking at her sympathetically.

"hey, don't do that. what's wrong?" she sighed. "it's just that the last time i really fell in love.. it didn't really go that well. i'd rather save the dramatic backstory for later, but it really hurt me."

you kissed her again, softly placing your hand on her shoulder. "i'm not rushing you, tasha. you don't have to fall in love with me right now. or ever, for that matter."

natasha shook her head. "y'see, that's where the problem lies. i do want to fall in love with you. more than anything. i'm just afraid of how it will turn out. i don't want to hurt you."

you smiled softly, kissing her forehead. "it seems like i would be the one doing the hurting," you giggled. "besides, nobody asked you to know everything. it's okay to be uncertain sometimes."

she nodded, wrapping her hand around the wrist of the hand on your shoulder. she leaned in, gently kissing you. "you're right. it's okay to be uncertain. although-" she remarked, running her fingers through her hair again, "it'll be a lot easier with you."

you laughed, your cheeks flushing. "so, y/n, do you want to go on a date with me?" she asked, tilting her head. "yes," you responded. "more than anything.

natasha kissed you again, smiling through it. "one less thing to be uncertain about."

i know its too much to ask but can i get a clint x scott, tony x scott and a peter quill x tony fic recs? thank u 🥺

not too much to ask for at all! here’s some fics for each pairing:

clint x scott:

Alone With You (ao3) - Femalefonzie

Summary: Or Scott never expected being in a relationship with Clint Barton was going to be this difficult. From pestering paparazzi to over protective SHIELD agents to the rest of the team making him as uncomfortable as possible to closed minded villains, it's hard to get time alone.

Consequences Considered (ao3) - tisfan

Summary: On their way to help Captain America, Clint gets some bad news from home. And Scott makes an offer that Clint doesn’t feel like refusing

How Much Do You Need (ao3) - thebookishdark

Summary: “Hey. Check out what I made,” Scott rolls up his sleeve and there’s a small bracelet that looks extremely similar to the belt on his Ant-man uniform. “It’s made of the same material as the suit so it won’t break if I grow in it, but it works more like the particle gun. Cool, right?”

“That was fast.”

Scott shrugs. “I had an excellent motivator.”

Clint asks Scott a hypothetical question that's not so hypothetical. It might be a sex thing. Okay, it's a sex thing.

Stupid For You (ao3) - thorgodoflesbians

Summary: When Steve suggested a movie night, what Clint didn’t expect was to have a lap-full of Scott Lang by the end, although he wasn’t necessarily opposed to it.

tony x scott:

Awkward (ao3) - Dowwwney (Wynt)

Summary: “Well, Bugs?” Tony asks. “What do you want?”

Without missing a beat, the word coming out in a rush, Scott responds.

“I wanna kiss you.”

Small Things (ao3) - heartsandmuses

Summary: In his defense, Scott wasn’t spying.

He was eavesdropping, at most.

When it don't come Easy (ao3) - ShadowsintheClouds

Summary: After the so-called Civil War, Tony was down on his luck. He was horribly injured and his mental illness wanted to get the better of him. It didn't help that a group of aliens called the Guardians just had to show up and make things worse. When they left, Tony was ready to give up on everything. And then the Rogues returned. Thank fuck that Tony met Scott Lang, or else he might as well be dead.

peter quill x tony:

burning in icy space (ao3) - laireshi

Summary: After Steve finds out, Tony thinks there's no place for him on Earth anymore. Peter tries to help. If only he didn't know exactly how Tony feels.

Hooked On A Feeling (ao3) - patwrites

Summary: Tony had never expected to have a family while his parents were alive, let alone after they died. The arrival of the Avengers in his life had changed that, and for the first time in his life he felt like he belonged. He felt accepted, he related to others, thought others related to him. The Civil War changed that as well. Tony lost the only true family he had ever had, got stabbed in the back with a smile on his face, guilt lurching in his stomach while the backstabbers yelled blasphemy and blamed him for their actions.

Two years later, Tony was back to his original belief that he would die alone, surrounded by his suits, bots and faithful AI, never to have a family ever again. The Guardians of the Galaxy crashlanding on his property and knocking on his door, begging for help, changed that for the second time in Tony's life. Only, they brought more than the Avengers, so much more.

The story of how Tony learned to say "You're welcome" instead of "Thank you" and "I forgive you" instead of "I'm sorry".

If You Like It (ao3) - SailorChibi

Summary: Steve and the team return to the compound thinking that things can just go back to the way they were. Steve is even ready to pick up dating Tony where they left off.

What Steve doesn't expect is that he's been replaced.

The Guardians (ao3) - GremlinSR

Summary: Tony is pulled out of his funk after the Civil War by actual space aliens when they come to warn him of an impending attack. Now he's building a new team, going on adventures with his new space friends, and generally just moving on.

When Team Cap comes back, they'll find things are different than how they left them.

A salty 'Tony doesn't need the team back' post Civil War fic.

- Tori
