Really dropped the ball on all the opportunities this makes:
Tony wasn’t one of those vampires that made your hair stand on end when you entered a room. He didn’t put you ill at ease or make you shiver with anxiety. He didn’t take long glances at throats and wrists and thighs and lick his lips in a way that made blood thrum louder in your veins. Fruit bats, after all, were seen as the tamer, calmer cousins of their blood-sucking, carnivorous family.
So it came as a shock when, one morning at team breakfast, Tony opened the fridge, paused, and then it felt like all the air had been sucked out of the room. “Where’s my fucking juice,” he asked, voice void of emotion.
No one said anything for a moment, too stunned to speak. Finally, though, it was Natasha who said, “Ah, the apricot? I used the last of it over some ice cream. I thought there was plenty of mango left.”
“I used the mango for a smoothie,” Bruce admitted, voice small. “But there was orange juice in the back?”
“Oh my fucking god,” Steve sighed, putting his head in his hands, because he always drank a big glass of orange juice with breakfast, and he’d carelessly thought ‘Tony still has mango and apricot’ as he emptied the last of the orange juice into his cup.
Tony turned, eyes glowing red, muscle in his jaw ticking as he obviously swallowed back his anger. He was good at cataloging insecurities to throw them back in people’s faces, after all, and this was the first time all of his food was gone, so it really didn’t warrant a huge blowup. But he’d been looking forward to breakfast after a full night in the lab and not one, not two, but all three of his choices were gone.
“Tony,” Thor offered solemnly, pushing the fruit bowl toward him. “Would whole fruit be okay until we can buy you more juice today?”
“It’ll do,” Tony allowed, figuring they were too afraid to tease him for his smaller fangs and his apathy for juice dripping down his face and into his clothes.
Clint came in before he could reach for anything, squinting at the back of a bottle. “Hey, I noticed all of Tony’s juice was gone and I added it to the list for when Steve goes shopping today, anyway I remembered I had a Naked in the freezer I was saving, but it’s got carrot in it and I don’t know if he’s okay with vegetables??”
Tony grabbed Clint by the shoulders, swung him around into a dip, and kissed him directly on the mouth. Then he plucked the juice from his lax fingers, dropped him, and skulked out of the room, muttering under his breath about the health benefits of carrots to vampires.
Clint laid where he’d been dropped for several minutes before he sat up, smacking his lips. “You know it never occurred to me that he might taste good to kiss and yet somehow I’m shocked he tastes like fruit.”
“Why don’t you explain it to Steve in very small words,” Natasha replied, and then ducked when Steve lunged at her, shouting for her to leave him alone about his crush on Tony when he’d literally just been fearing for his life over some fucking orange juice.

Author’s Notes: This was a bit stressful to write with all the irl stuff that popped up and falling behind a few times, but I'm so proud of the end result. Through this event, I had the absolute honor of working with two insanely talented artists, and even if you don’t like my fic, look at their pretty pictures instead of reading! They deserve so much love! And I can’t forget my two phenomenal betas. I seriously cannot thank them enough because this wouldn't have been possible without their support and suggestions!
Violet-maydaylily's Artist’s Notes: Poor Jason, he is Suffering™ in this fic, but I had way too much fun adding injuries and blood onto him lol. The scene with Jason and his itty bitty kitty is way too adorable not to draw, that's his emotional support kitten!
This is my first big bang and I had a great time, a happy thank you to everyone who made it possible!
Moonllshadow's Artist’s Notes: Bat's issues, PTSD and nightmares, a bad combination for another sleepless night. I truly love Jason's angst fics, and this was a big chance to collaborate in this beautiful project. Hope I made him justice. On the opposite side, Jay deserves tons of happiness and a little kitten to make his days brighter. Meet Verdana, the tuxedo little kitten who keeps our bat boy going. Love this angel and thanks to llisona for creating her uwu.
