≛ main ≛ bio ≛ face ≛ muse ≛ starters ≛ wishlist ≛
about:
This is a sideblog, and I follow back from my main @grimmusings. Please direct IMs there, since it's easier for me to keep all my messages on one blog. It's also easier to start interactions with me there, where I regularly post open starters and meme prompts. For a full list of rules, see my main. Honesty hour questions will largely be answered IC and treated as anonymous unless signed by a muse.
Rhodey is a mix of Earth-616, MCU, and headcanons, all of them meshed them together for Earth-3490. All details vary based on verse, and I'm happy to write him into AUs and fandom crossovers. His characterization is heavily inspired by The Components of Construction. All post-CW threads in an MCU timeline are written with the faceclaim Gabrielle Union. I do not acknowledge any of the D+ shows in my verses.
wanted connections:
This is by no means a comprehensive list, and I can roll with most muses as far as basic interactions. I'm happy to ship Rhodey with other Marvel characters and OCs/fandom crossovers based on chemistry, but unless they're on my OTP list, they need plotting and interaction first. There is never any pressure to ship with me, even if they're on my list.
OTPs: Carol Danvers, Clint Barton, Tony/Natasha Stark
Possible Ships: most Avengers
NOTPs: n/a
Family: Safe to say he'd love to be the Cool Uncle to all of Tony's various canon and AU children, but given the age difference, this is probably not the Rhodey they grew up with.
Other: TONY TONY TONY. Whether it's bros, romance, or platonic soulmates, I'd love all the Tony connections.
default verses:
616: A mix of comics and headcanons where Rhodey and Clint Barton were dating pre-Civil War and chose opposite sides, ending the relationship. As this is not an MCU verse and Vision was not involved, Rhodey wasn't seriously injured.
3490: A blip universe in the comics where Steve Rogers and Natasha Stark are married, and the Avengers' Civil War never happens. I'm most comfortable writing this version of him, so feel free to have your muse playing tourist in his dimension or vice versa, especially if the age is off.
multiverse!madness: Various comics universes collide, whether Marvel/DC/etc. have always existed on the same Earth, or other-dimension shenanigans are at work. Duplicate friendly!
verses by request only:
I'm happy to write these, but since they're more specific AUs, I don't default on them for asks/memes. Please feel free to request them.
alt!3490: A blip universe in the comics where Stephanie Rogers and Natasha Stark are married, and the Avengers' Civil War never happens. (fem!rhodey / fc: vanessa morgan)
alt!postblip: An MCU timeline where Steve Rogers stays in the present timeline, Tony Stark doesn't die, and the snap brings back Natasha Romanoff. Jane Rhodes was paralyzed from the waist down in the Avengers' Civil War and uses Stark tech leg braces to walk. She identifies as homosexual and only ships with female muses. (fem!rhodey / fc: Gabrielle Union)
college!verse: A modern/realistic AU where Rhodey is an engineering and ROTC student at MIT.

Blood Brothers AU - College HCs
College Headcanons no one asked for
When Scott was in elementary school, he got made fun of some because some stupid kids thought Scott Stark sounded like a dumb name.
Then when Tony jumped to college at age 15, Scott’s peers said there’s a Smart Stark and a Not Smart Stark. All of this really put a big dent in his self esteem, and he begged his parents to let him go to college too. If Tony could do it, he could too, Scott argued. He was crushed when he realized that no he could not do it. “Not now,” his parents would say, “but you will in your own time.” Which wasn’t a good enough answer at the time.
Tony refused to go to college unless his brother was close by, so Charlie and Maria Stark moved closer to MIT, so the boys could spend time together. Weekends were great times for Tony because he was too young to appreciate the college scene, and he felt more comfortable at home with his family. He’d drag big brother Rhodey home too when Rhodey did not go home on weekends, and Rhodey became very protective of the Stark boys.
When Tony got a little older, he definitely started appreciating the college scene more, and he started going home less and pulled Scott into more of the college scenes with him. But Scott’s four years younger, so while all this seemed fun to Tony, Scott felt really out of place. He’d stay for a little while to please his big brother, then he’d go hide in Rhodey and Tony’s apartment. If the party was at Tony’s apartment, he’d walk the 15 minute walk home, discouraged and a little lonely. Rhodey caught on to what Scott was doing, and he made sure he got home safely every time after that.
The first time Tony got drunk was the first time he got into a fight. Alcohol loosens the tongue, and he learned not only were some of his schoolmates really jealous of Tony’s smarts - duh, of course they were - they started poking fun at his family which really got under his skin. Then one guy made some veiled comments towards Scott - seemingly generic comments - but the way they were said had Tony lunging with fists flying before he even knew what he was doing. They sure as hell weren’t good comments; dude was a sicko. Rhodey ended the fight and reported the other guy based on what Tony told him. The other guy wasn’t seen on campus after that anymore.
Scott was offered full rides to many different schools, but CalTech really caught his eye because it had the kind of electrical engineering program he wanted, it boasted California sun, and most importantly, it wasn’t MIT. No offense to Tony’s alma mater, but that was a weird time in Scott’s life, and he’d rather not revisit there again.
Tony bought his Malibu pad to try to stay close to Scott while he stayed in California. Despite how he was more like the Tony we see in Iron Man at this point, he still loves his little brother, so he thought less than an hour’s drive from CalTech would be close enough if he’s needed but far away enough not to be an overbearing big brother.
Scott’s first burglary was in his junior year of college. One of his friends got in a jam with a dude you did not mess with, and the dude started blackmailing her by taking her laptop and flash drives with all her hard work and research. *Do what I want, you get your stuff back*. I’ll give you a couple of guesses what he wanted. She’s a mess, so Scott decides to take matters into his own hands. He successfully breaks into the guy’s place, steals everything back and then some because he could, and he gives his friend her stuff back before reporting the guy to the school. Scott just “happened” upon some incriminating evidence to get the guy expelled.

Headcanon:
Tonys first few months at MIT where an absolute disaster.
Not only was he by far the youngest on campus, but until then he had never been to a normal school so to speak.
All he knew before were private/boarding schools, where he was surrounded by other rich kids.
So it certainly came as a surprise to him to hear that apparently not everyones family has several houses around the globe, owns private jets and goes on vacation whenever and wherever they feel.
Rhodey was a big help for him to get settled in MIT and not draw even more attention than he already did thanks to his age.

Crying over the idea of Tony leaving Rhodey his workshop. All of his suits. His deigns. His bots. His AIs. “You were with me when I made them, remember?” Tony writes him, “you were only one that could help me with the bots. There’s no one I trust more than you with this, Rhodey. Do whatever you want with it. It’s yours. Just please... no matter what DUM-E does, don’t donate him to a school lab.” Rhodey just breaks down crying about this.

Okay so now that Miley Cyrus’ new album has come out, for mit incorporated may I suggest Angel Like You? I can totally see that song from Tony’s pov. It’s a little angsty but it’s good!
NO but its so perfect and i literally?? know a fic?? that fits the vibe of this song?? for rhodeytony?? COME BACK TO THIS I WILL FIND IT AND LINK IT IN A REBLOG BUT YES this song has very "mit!Tony pushing Rhodey away because of his issues and regretting hurting Rhodey, but also is very aware that Rhodey is too good for him so he doesn't try to apologise" vibes
#mit incorporated playlist#rhodeytony#this song is my actual headcanon for rhodeytony#which is that Rhodey and Tony give it an honest shot#like a genuine shot#but Tony KNOWS that he doesn't deserve Rhodey like that#so he messes up#on purpose#he cheats on Rhodey#forces Rhodey away#because he doesn't deserve Rhodey as a lover not really#but he refuses to lose him completely (he's selfish like that)#and if all he gets is friends - he'll take that#he wont let himself hurt Rhodey not the ways lovers can#adi answers asks#littlemissstark

exCUSE Me, I need to know about the other 13 times, because that last headcanon made me really really happy-
14 times James Rhodes [henceforth referred to as “Rhodey”] made Tony Stark cry
[in no particular order because JARVIS wasn’t around for most of the events and neither of those two morons is in any way a reliable source when it comes to the logical continuity of their relationship’s development]
1. That time they got into a fight so bad, Rhodey called Tony “Stark” for sixteen days
2. That time Rhodey got into a fight with Howard Stark over the phone
3. That time Tony let Rhodey cook unsupervised and he added “only a little” chili
4. That time Rhodey remembered DUM-E’s birthday and insisted they celebrate it
5. That time Rhodey refused to accept his Christmas present because an all-expenses paid cruise across the Atlantic was “too much”
6. That time Rhodey got into a fight with Howard Stark in person
7. That time Rhodey insisted they watch Les Misérables
8. That time Rhodey tried to impress his date and got banned from Costco for life instead
9. That time Rhodey said the three forbidden magical words: “You’re family too.”
10. That time Rhodey mixed up OC tear gas in their chemistry classroom – if anyone asks, it was a complete accident
11. That time Rhodey insisted Tony needs to spend more time outdoors and they both found out Tony’s allergic to pollen
12. That time Rhodey refused to let Tony down any more shots after the sixth glass of tequila.
13. That time Rhodey got a look at Tony’s ideas, scribbles and sketches for the first time and said “I knew you were smart but this– Tones, this is brilliant. You’re brilliant.”
14. That time Rhodey found out that Tony is ticklish and hadn’t yet been on the receiving end of a personalized Why You Do Not Tickle Tony Stark To Death lesson.

Chanukah with Tony & Rhodey (MIT, 1985)
---
Rhodey, coming home to Tony wearing a latke costume: ...why are you like this?
Tony, attempting to grin seductively while wearing a latke costume: What, delicious?
Rhodey: *deepest of sighs*
Dum-E: *accidentally flings a dreidel across the room trying to spin it (again)*

So MIT has a Shawarma Club, described as “a club for all MIT students interested in Shawarma and discussing issues relevant to the Middle East.” And I have this headcanon that when they were at MIT, Rhodey dragged Tony with him to Shawarma Club, and that’s where Tony fell in love with the food. It was also at this club that Tony’s awareness for the blinkers he’d grown up with regarding his father’s company and the weapons industry grew, and it was the first time he ever really started questioning it all. Also, I just love the image of Tony and Rhodey sitting in oversized sweatshirts and eating shawarma after Tony’s had a bad fight with his father again.

Okay but with your MCU wishlist... the Iron Husbands parallels with Harley and Riri
Okay first of all DON’T HURT ME LIKE THIS because this spells out heartbreak in the future because dID YOU SEE how Tony and Rhodey’s relationship ended? Did you???Do yoU REALLY want Harley or Riri to end up dead?
But also:
18-year-old Rhodey immediately adopting his 14-year-old precocious genius roommate because godDAMMIT this kid is wonderfulvs18-year-old Harley immediately adopting 20-year-old snarky go-getter genius Riri because goDDAMMIT this girl is inspirational because look how hard she had to work to get into MIT and she made it! I don’t care that she’s older than me, I’m her dad now!
Mid 20s TonyRhodey living together post MIT and being beautiful messes together with Pepper occasionally coming in to roll her eyes at them because they’re idiots but they’re 1000% her idiots so she shouldn’t complainvsMid 20s HarleyRiri living together post MIT and being beautiful messes with the added bit about needing to save the world every other day and Pepper just rolls her eyes to the heavens because dear GOD she didn’t expect to have to deal with this shit TWICE in her lifetime. And also MJ pops by on occasion because Pepper is getting too old to deal with this kind of nonsense so she has to take care of their idiots (Pepper and MJ are BFFs, no I don’t take constructive criticism).
Mid 30s TonyRhodey accidentally getting married in Vegas and just shrugging because “well why not?” while Pepper fumes because THAT WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE! And Tony says something about it’ll help make ends meet and Pepper just about explodes because YOU ARE A BILLIONAIRE!!! GETTING MARRIED AND GETTING TO SHARE HEALTH INSURANCE ISN’T GOING TO MAKE ANY SORT OF DIFFERENCE OHMYGOD TONY!!!vsMid 30s HarleyRiri accidentally getting married in Vegas and just shrugging because “well why not” and Pepper throws her hands up in despair because this is not the kind of deja-vu she was expecting in her life, and MJ just laughs and buys them a spice rack because if they’re married they need one of those. It doesn’t matter that they’re both awful cooks. Spice racks are important.
Mid 40s TonyRhodey being superheroes together, and always believing that the other will come back “he’s died before sir, it didn’t take”.vsMid 40s HarleyRiri being superheroes together, and always believing that the other will come back “Harley wouldn’t dare die, because he knows I would kill him if he made me go through that”
Mid 50s Rhodey attending Tony’s funeral and hardly knowing what to do with himself because this wasn’t how it was supposed to end!!! He wasn’t supposed to have to have to dread a future of years where he didn’t have Tony at his side. He wasn’t supposed to have to not have his best friend/soulmate/husband therevsMid 50s Riri attending Harley’s funeral and being so goddamned angry at the universe because she knows that nobody is going to be able to fill that big empty hole left in her heart. She wasn’t supposed to have that hole in her heart. If one of them was going to die, they were going to die together. They promised each other that a long time ago. Harley broke his promise and now she has to spend the rest of her life without her best friend/soulmate/husband there.
Ooooohhhh… now I just made myself sad.
#tony stark#james rhodes#harley keener#riri williams#tony x rhodey#harley x riri#pepper potts#mj#y'all i haven't read any of the comics#idk if i'm representing riri well#please don't hate me if i'm not#especially with the mit stuff#like idk if she came from a rich family or not#but for the sake of this headcanon she didn't#and had to work extra hard to get into mit#because riri never saw a problem she didn't want to fix#or didn't know how to fix#or couldn't fix#anonymous#ask me a question

honestly, real talk, though. i think one of my favorite things is the universal assumption that everyone uses tony’s closet as their closet and just takes what they want out of it and he doesn’t even fight very hard.
there’s probably an unreasonable amount of other avengers’ branded tshirts in there (especially cap, boy loves to wear him some cap merch), but it’s because you support your squad.
#★ subroutine . headcanon / i've been trying to fix my pride but that shit's broken#// like it's absolutely something i subscribe to#// raid his closet#// just don't touch the mit hoodie that's falling to pieces#// that was rhodey's when they were in college together and tony's hung onto it all these years later#// and he will destroy you#★ arc02 . mcu . main / cut loose these strings i was meant to fly

MIT rhodeytony meeting
(I have been very busy irl unfortunately and wasn’t able to draw more rhodeytony this month but! good thing is that I don’t have to draw them only in november, so there are a few prompts I still plan to do when I have more free time 🌸)
still, I thought I would share some of my rhfe headcanons with you for this last day:
facts: tony entered MIT in 1984 at the age of 14, rhodey and him spent spring break ‘87 together and rhodey went to usafa
so I figured out he joined MIT in 1985
rhodey, 16 soon-to-be 17 (because he is fucking smart too) was following his orientation group when some short kid coming from nowhere bumped into him
the first thing rhodey heard was an “ow!”, then it was “your shirt is so cool!” and suddenly there were big brown eyes watching him expectantly
they had a small talk about bands (”AC/DC is the greatest rock and roll band of all time !”) (“you gotta listen some James Brown songs man”) until he realized his group was moving and left that kid, waving a quick goodbye
didn’t think about him again until he was close to the baker house which had been throwing a welcome back party and bumped into that kid (apparently called tony) again. completely drunk. what the hell
true to be told rhodey had thought tony was a student’s little brother or a pre-frosh. his mama raised him better than that tho and there is no way he would let this kid, who had been nothing but friendly, with people who give him so much alcohol
that’s how tony woke up in a dorm that was absolutely not his and imprinted on rhodey like a baby duck because he was nice to me??? and helped me???
tony absolutely called them meeting a second time “fate”, and that’s how he would tell their story years later
and the thing is that they actually got along well once the first awkwardness went away
rhodey quickly realized the emotional walls tony had around him
because when he came in the first time, everyone thought tony was just here thanks to his dad and was too young. they quickly realized he was indeed super smart tho and suddenly everyone wanted something from him but he never really made close friends. either they wanted to be the friend of tony stark or he scared them away with his genius and some didn't like to have an awkward young teen smarter than them. so he became this flirty, party, public persona instead so people would like him more
but then come rhodey who liked him as he was and didn’t care if he was a stark or not
so every time someone would even just badly look at rhodey he would fight. he would fight with his words, he would fight with his fists too if needed. because no one will hurt his friend if he had something to say. rhodey was so smart and so fierce, and he wouldn’t let anyone try to destroy it
though rhodey never liked when tony was getting wasted, pretending to enjoy these stupid parties to act cool with people who don’t really care about the real him, but rhodey never stopped him. sure he told him what he thought of it, and didn’t have a problem to say “I told you so” when he complained about a hangover but he was always by his side no matter
and if months and months later, when rhodey helped a tipsy tony to go in bed and tony kissed him because it was the only way he could think to thank rhodey for being who he is, for care about him, for loving him, for being here... well this was between them, and none of them said something about it the next day

All superheroes are neurodivergent, and I refuse to believe otherwises. In fact, I will list some of the Marvel heroes I headcanon as ND
Scott Lang: ADHD. He jumps from fixation to fixation, his reoccurring hyperfixation being magic, he speaks out of turn and usually off topic to whatever is currently going on, has poor time management and is impulsive. He also had a strong moral code and will do what he feels is best, ie stealing from the rich. Luis and him get along so well because they’re brains are wired similarly, I’m just saying 👀
Tony Stark: ADHD/AUSTISM. This one is just as obvious as Scott. His special interest is science, he has poor social skills outside of what he’s adopted from others (masking in the form of sunglasses and a celebrity attitude), he doesn’t get social cues, is abrupt and interrupts others when hyperfocused and is know to be very impulsive. He has emotional outbursts when overwhelmed/overstimulated (though he deals with understimulation a lot too IMO), not good with empathising but is shown he can sympathise with others and even show them compassion if he’s close to them. Again, strong sense of justice that fits his own definition (deciding that he should be held responsible for his mistakes in making weapons, Ultron and Sokovia, etc).
Steve Rogers: AUTISM. Strong sense of justice, emotional outbursts, stretchy fabric/layers to avoid oversensitivity 👀, special interests were art and maybe even war/fighting, hard time making friends growing up, relates to others with his own stories when comforting people because that’s the only way he knows how, when he’s not interested in a task he will just leave without justifying it (ie the science exbo) which makes him appear arrogant (and Bucky seems used to Steve just randomly wandering off, probably cause Steve’s done it all throughout their friendship).
Bucky Barnes: ADHD. Poor time management, oversharing, bad with tones (his own and others), always seems confused because he’s almost never paying attention to a situation but instead is instead three topics ahead in his own mind, his hyperfixation in the 40’s in fantasy novels and science (specially mechanics) and he regains those fixations post-HYDRA but catching up on modern day fantasy media & boat mechanics. Makes notes of everything so he doesn’t forget anything, makes impulsive decisions all the time (freeing Zemo, asking Wakanda for new wings, moving in with Sam, etc) and has a (un)healthy dose of rejection sensitivity dysphoria.
Sam Wilson: AUTISM. Sam is the ultimate masker but this man has ASD and no one can tell me otherwise. He hates changes to his routine without his consent (ie unable to get rid of the boat, jogs every morning, etc), his special interest is technical engineering (his wings & Redwing), he often jokes at inappropriate times & refuses to apologise unless he feels he was in the wrong. Strong sense of justice, emotionally shuts down when stressed, has many casual friends but very few close friends because he finds it hard to connect with people (he connects with Nat, Steve & Bucky cause they’re all ND, duh).
Natasha Romanoff: AUTISM. Growing up in the red room forced her to be an expert at masking, but whenever she doesn’t seem to be acting ‘appropriately’, she’s shown to be uncaring of social cues, burns out easily, and thrives off routine. Her special interest was probably ballet for a long time before it was ruined for her. She wears tight clothes because she doesn’t like baggy outfits that will brush against her when she’s not expecting it and keeps her hair red because it’s her one constant that makes her feel comfortable and gives her something to focus on when she’s overwhelmed.
Peter Parker: ADHD/AUTISM. Do I really need to explain this one? I feel it’s overly on the nose. Hyperactive, special interest is spiderman, hyperfixation is science and pop culture, socially awkward and talks a little too fast for everyone else to catch up with. He’s the ADHD/ASD combo that slots right in under the wing of Tony.
James Rhodes: AUTISM. Come on. Come on. I just,,, he’s best friends with Tony Stark. He’s wanted to be in the Air Force since he was a kid, he went to MIT and has a Masters in the science of Aerospace Engineering. He’s the voice of reason and always thinks of the obvious conclusions without thought to the moral implications (ie killing baby Thanos) or the emotional process of others (ie Steve crashing into the ocean instead of jumping out of the plane). He’s stubborn and rarely yields to others opinions, even if it puts him under social scrutiny. He spends months looking for Tony when most would assume he was dead (and Rhodey has been shown to be very rational and level headed in everything else) because, honestly, I think Tony is his favourite person.
Bruce Banner: AUTISM. Bad with socialising, off in his own world half the time, ahead of conversations, heavy dose of RSD, jumps to conclusions because he interrupts others, emotional outbursts, special interest in physics (though he does have six other PHDs), etc. I’m also pretty sure he had DID as a kid (Hulk was his alter).
Thor: ADHD. Impulsive, doesn’t like change, poor time management, bouts of depression & anxiety, Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria, interrupts others, seems dumber than he is due to having no filter from brain to mouth, comfort item is his hammer, personally I think he hyperfixates on Jane Foster because she’s the first human he’s really met which is why the eventual break up isn’t as painful as say Tony’s break with Pepper.
Peter Quill: ADHD. Look I could explain this one, but it’s just his whole vibe. The obsession with old school music and film, the impulsive behaviour, the way he interacts with others, he just gives the vibe.
DC BONUS
BATMAN: AUTISM. Special interest is bats, self isolates, doesn’t get along with others because he’s socially awkward, his mask is Bruce Wayne, lives by a strict moral code, blah blah blah HES OBVIOUSLY AUTISTIC (and so are all the robins send tweet)
Reblog with your own superhero ND headcanons!!

Ironhusband headcanons or ironspouses (Pepper/Tony/Rhodey) headcanons.
!!!! I'm giving you both bcuz yes
Rhodey saw this tiny ass little idiot at MIT and just. didn't want to deal with him. have you seen Tony? he's a dumbass with the highest iq in the room, Rhodey wasn't about to handle it
unfortunately Tony saw Rhodey and latched onto him fucking immediately, so he had to
tony didn't have other friends, but Rhodey's friends were cool with him, and he eventually just got used to bailing his little idiot out of less than ideal situations
that's kind of how they got together in the first place. Rhodey was pissed about whatever Tony did, and Tony just kind of kissed him to make it better
it did not make it better
(they kept kissing anyways)
when Pepper started working for SI, Rhodey praised his lucky stars and got her phone number immediately. they became best friends so fast, Tony got whiplash
the two of them have one night a month where they get together and drink and complain about Tony's antics
it wasn't until they both bailed tony out one night that anything happened. he proposed it to Rhodey one night in bed bcuz they both make him feel safe and cared for, and hell, they're already friends, what's the harm in trying
turned out those nights Pepper and Rhodey spent together (although Tony joins them more now) were a lot better when it wasn't so innocent fun

My Tony Stark headcanons
(Everything after c*vil w*r doesn’t exists here because I say so)
- Tony has a really bad posture, as soon as he relaxes and doesn’t have to smile for the cameras he has the worst posture Steve has ever seen.
- He can’t sit normally, his lab has some of those weird chairs (yk what I’m talking about) because he works better if he’s in a completely uncomfortable position
- Tony can sing really well, but few people know it
- Once the avengers tried playing monopoly and Tony absolutely destroyed everyone without even blinking, they never made the mistake of forgetting that Stark Industries was nothing without Tony again.
- All the bots and AI’s learnt to play chess form him, Dum-E is actually the best one. He beat Steve once and Clint won’t stop bringing it up.
- Tony and Natasha have a shared love for Queen, you can’t tell me otherwise
- Also, Tony tends to lean into people just the tiniest bit when sleepy, and Natasha was the first to notice, so when he comes up form a 72 hours binge Natasha sits next to him and lets him rest on her shoulder. He’s so tired that he only realized what happened 2 days later.
- On this note, Tony is touch starved
- Once when Clint was hiding in the vents because of a nightmare, he suddenly found Tony on his nest with some chocolate. “How did you know?” “I designed these things for you birdbrain, do you really think vents are naturally this big?”
- Tony minds works faster than his body, sometimes this gets so overwhelming that he completely shut offs for a few hours.
- No one knows for sure how many languages he can speak. Despite being a scientist at heart, he loves the beauty of different ways to speak, either soft Italian, smooth Japanese or sharp Russian.
- He also can’t stand not knowing what it’s being said since Afghanistan, so in the last few years he learnt languages that not even Nat knows about.
- The only thing he could never get the hang on is playing the guitar AND IT MAKES HIM SO MAD
- Rhodey keeps a video of Tony crying in the middle of their MIT dorm surrounded by a bunch of tabs
- All the avengers have ridiculous codes for everything in the tower, Steve hates it, Thor Loves it
- Bruce lectures Tony in lab safety and Tony calls bullshit on that knowing Bruce is almost as messy as he is
That’s all! Add your own if you’d like <3

do u have any domestic TonyRhodey headcanons?
I sure do! Thanks for asking, Vix!
Rhodey is the one who cooks. Tony can’t cook at all. Seriously, Rhodey tried to teach him, videos online tried to teach him, professional chefs tried to teach him, Mama Rhodes tried to teach him. It’s no use. He just can’t do it. So Rhodey cooks. And Tony absolutely loves every single thing Rhodey makes for him. Rhodey says that he’s an amateur compared to his mother, but in true sappiness, Tony says Rhodey’s cooking is better because “you can just taste the love you have for me, honeybear.” Rhodey always rolls his eyes with a tiny smile because he loves how sappy his husband is. Rhodey is usually too busy with work to cook though, so usually Tony orders them takeout for dinner. Rhodey swears that the way Tony orders them takeout comes with psychic; Tony always orders by Rhodey’s mood even if he doesn’t know what Rhodey’s mood is. When he had a bad day at work, Tony orders him his comfort food. When he missed Tony that day, Tony orders the hamburgers from the chain Tony always invited on at MIT. When Rhodey had a good day at work and wanted to celebrate, Tony would order him something from some fancy new restaurant in Malibu. When Rhodey’s day was fine but tiring, Tony orders pizza and they eat quickly before going to bed. Even though their cooking skills are different, food is a love language for the both of them.
They’re the kind of couple that can sit together in comfortable silence. They do like to do things together, watching TV or doing a puzzle or working together on a project, but sometimes it’s nice when they do different things in the same space, content and happy. Usually Rhodey would draw something while Tony would answer Emails or Rhodey would go over some of his trainees resumes while Tony was mindlessly playing the guitar. Occasionally, they would look at the concretion on each other's face and smile fondly. Sometimes they do it while sitting side by side or with their legs tangled together. They always feel completely at ease and relaxed, just by being close to one another.
People (The Avengers) are sometimes surprised at how much Tony and Rhodey love PDA when they’re with people they trust. Usually in public, they like to keep their hands off each other. Oh sure, they flirt like crazy, and Tony loves to announce that they’re very much together and that he’s crazy about Rhodey, but they don’t really touch. It’s a left over instinct from DADT. At home though? Tony and Rhodey always kiss before they go to work. They hold hands a lot, even if it interferes with them doing something (that’s how they broke the sink once). They constantly call each other’s nicknames and tell each other how much they’re loved. Tony always kisses Rhodey’s forehead whenever it’s in reach and Rhodey kisses Tony neck in a way that makes him giggle because the spot is ticklish. They always cuddle up to one another at movie nights and play footsie under the table at dinnertime. DADT might have meant they can’t show their love in public, so they like to remind each other of how much they love each other and want nothing more than to touch in private.
Tony and Rhodey have the exact same taste in everything. In movies, in books and in music and in humor and in hobbies. It’s not like they agree about everything, and even about their taste in popular culture, they like to pretend they’re different. But they have the exact same taste in everything. Which means they have monthly book clubs with just one another (because everyone else are clearly idiots) and they always listen to the same music in the workshop and for movie nights, they both laugh at each other’s jabs at the movie. They don’t ever have to tell each other before ordering tickets, because they’d either love it together or hate it together, but they’d always do it together. They do crosswords together and puzzles together and work on workshop projects together. As I said, they love doing things together, and with their shared interests, they get to do it a lot.
They love dancing! Absolutely adore it. They love dancing individually, Rhodey absentmindedly moving to the songs he used to like as a kid while Tony smiles fondly at his dork of a husband and Tony “distractingly” dancing in a seductive way, absolutely knowing what he’s doing to Rhodey. They love dancing together too. They love going to the clubs and complaining about the music the young people now but still dancing like they used to in MIT ( “let’s show them how it’s done!” they say. Everyone backs away twenty feet from them because these old people are so embarrassing). They love dancing in the workshop to the music they like, sometimes just nodding their heads to the beat and sometimes full on dancing, even if the music isn’t remotely dancing music. They love slow dancing, sometimes doing it randomly, without music in the background until JARVIS puts some Sinatra on, and by that time they’re too wrapped up in each other to notice the music came on.
Instead of date nights, Tony and Rhodey have “staying in bed” days. Sometimes their lives are so hectic and Tony’s sleep schedule is usually a mess anyway, that they need a break. They need a whole day to sleep in until late, have breakfast in bed brought to them (by Pepper, the hotel they’re staying at, or one of the Avengers), cuddle between the sheets, watch horrible new movies that they didn’t get a chance to see yet and make love where they want to. It happens once a month, usually at the last day of the month. It’s a nice way to start a new month, they think. It makes them both so happy to have a whole day for one another. They chose this instead of date nights, because this feels so much more intimate and romantic for them.
They don’t really say “I love you.” They both know they each other, but it’s very rare they say the words. They like to show it instead. Tony loves making big gestures and sending flowers to Rhodey’s work and he throws his arm over Rhodey’s shoulder while they lace their fingers together and kissing Rhodey passionately whenever he can. Rhodey for his part compliments Tony whenever the opportunity arises, never misses a chance to make him laugh and he leaves Tony Rhodey’s favorite hoodie for Tony to steal and he loves running his hands in Tony’s hair and kissing his cheeks. The word ‘love’ never needs to be said. They both know it and they both show it, and that’s enough for them.
They’re silly and childish with one another. They absolutely build blanket forts together and talk until they both fall asleep, like they’re still teenagers. They still but lightsabers and pretend they’re fighting each other to the death. They both still say ‘jinx’ whenever they finish each other’s sentences. They both still fight over the bubble wrap whenever they get a new package, and eventually all the fighting means all the bubble are already popped. They both still declare the floor is lava sometimes, and take the game completely seriously. Tony and Rhodey are both serious professionals that can adult properly. But with each other they feel comfortable enough to have some childish fun together, feeling like no one would judge them.
They take care of each other differently when they get sick. Rhodey is more low-key about it. He makes Tony soup, reminds him to make his meds and cuddles Tony when he’s feeling too miserable. Tony likes it for the most part. Not working sucks and Rhodey is evil for forcing him to stay in bed. Rhodey just rolls his eyes and tells him projects are better without sick germs being all over them. Tony however, freaks out whenever Rhodey is sick. He forces him to go to the doctor, and when the doctor sends them home, because Jesus Christ, Tony, it’s just a cold, he constantly asks Rhodey how he’s feeling, buys him the best meds, piles blankets over pillows over blankets on his bed to make sure Rhodey is comfortable, he flies all the way to Philly to bring Rhodey soup from his mom and he gets him what he wants whenever he wants (unless the request is “oh my god, leave me alone!”). Rhodey thinks it’s sweet, even if Tony is a little bit overreacting. He would much rather have a nice, relaxing day to be miserable in his sickness, though.
They’re always bickering. About absolutely stupid things. It’s never serious, of course. They almost never fight, unless it’s about really important often moral issues. But they always bicker. It’s their way of flirting. Tony is just a person who generally bickers with people, and Rhodey is one of the few people who cam keep up with him (comes with practice) so of course he returns his quips jab for jab. Most times they bicker over breakfast or over their work together and sometimes they bicker while they’re with their friends or when they’re talking to the bots. But they always bicker with a fond expression and their fingers linked together and with a kiss at the end.

MIT is best described by Tony being the epitome of a smol, socially awkward bean that needs to be wrapped in fluffy blankets and Rhodey being the most outrageous human equivalent of the hold-my-beer meme you have ever seen thank you for your time
#ReRe rambles#I know there's also a lot of Tony being the one who drags them all into trouble#but i think it's time we all admit to ourselves that it's just part of a giant conspiracy#that tries to convince you rhodey isn't the biggest constant little shit you've ever met#i'm onto you rhodey rhodes#you don't fool me#headcanon#james rhodes#tony stark#MIT era
