#rhodeytony month

[justlous-art]

one of my absolutely favorite rhfe hcs is that they got a matching tattoo when they were young with one having the math equation and the other its solution

so it got me thinking about which one they would have? 

I am absolutely not a math person (and even less at MIT level) but while I was brainstorming with my moots, one of them mentioned the pythagorean theoreme and it actually felt right. it’s very basic and simple but it's a cornerstone of geometry and even engineering like their friendship is the cornerstone of their life

Tony’s at MIT when he finds out.

someone will come running to take you home by superhusbands4ever (Potterwatch97)

Missing scene from Iron Man (2008): It's Tony's first night back in his own house in Malibu and he's not coping as well as he'd like everyone to think.

Courtship (caught in the rain) by Cards_Slash

9 vignettes of a relationship in progress

or -

Rhodey had a plan and it went like this: wake up, leave, find something that Tony wouldn’t find ridiculous, sentimental or overtly romantic that he didn’t already own to give to him for their anniversary, come back, eat something, give the present to Tony, endure his comments, have a lot of sex, and go back to sleep.

Oh Lazarus Have You Risen Again? by SuperstringSymphony

“Tony.” He murmurs against the slight curls at Tony's temple. “Do you really think after I spent three months looking for you, that I'd leave you over some new body jewelry? Is that why you've been depriving me of my favorite show?” He hugs Tony a little more tightly, pressing his palms in to the small of his back.

Tony comes back from Afghanistan with more than a little baggage, but James Rhodes will not be deterred.

simply the best by Mizzy

After Tony's heart inexplicably fails in the tower, and Thor electrocutes him back to life, Pepper promptly dumps him. Rhodey is there to cuddle him back to happiness.

Stay-cation by Not Applicable (not_applicable)

Rhodey has the flu, and his boyfriend is a superhero, after all.

You Just Don't See It by BlossomsintheMist

Set during the plane scene in the first Iron Man movie, Tony and Rhodey get a little caught up in each other.

There'll be much mistletoeing and hearts will be glowing by frostysunflowers

In the run up to Christmas, a sprig of mistletoe in the elevator has a rather amorous effect on the occupants of Stark Tower, much to Tony's frustration.

It Almost Seems Like Yesterday by ceealaina

When Tony gets hit with an amnesia spell that leaves him unable to remember anything past 1990, Rhodey's right there to help him through it. (Now if only Rhodey could remember how the hell he's managed to hide his feelings for Tony all these years.)

i let you carve your name all over my insides by deathsweetqueen

A warm, hot, heavy palm lands on the curve of his hip and Tony groans into his pillow, clutching at it like a lifeline.

A laugh falls in his ears, tickling the hair on the nape of his neck.

...and two self-recs

without you i'll never be home

Tony melts, a little, and the words leave his mouth before he can stop them. “I like you,” he says, and it’s much too serious and far too earnest, but here they are, alone in Rhodey’s room, the one that’s come to feel like Tony’s, too, and Rhodey’s looking at him, like...

Tony goes home with Rhodey for Thanksgiving break.

a moment in between

Those few blissful seconds right before he regains complete consciousness sometimes feel like all he has left. Then, of course, the realization hits, and Rhodey feels the loss all over again, hears the words anew every time. Complete paralysis. 

Tonight is one of those nights. 

Or, Rhodey wakes from a nightmare and Tony does what he can.

wait is it greedy to pose another prompt?? rhodeytony + feelings realization <3

noooo never greedy, especially not when you’re requesting a god tier ship that deserves more love 💙

---

It is utterly ridiculous that it’s taken over twenty years of friendship and Tony being kidnapped for the fourth time since they’ve known each other for Jim to realize he has more than just platonic feelings for his best friend.

Utterly ridiculous and completely stupid.

Because Jim had always thought he was a relatively smart guy, but this. This is just fucking idiotic of him. For him to have wasted all those years and only figured out how his heart feels now, when the stakes are so much higher and Tony has disappeared into the Afghan desert for almost three months.

This just can’t stand. More than just a military guy, Jim is a rocket scientist. And if he can figure out rocket science, then he can figure out how to find Tony. And once he does, he’s not going to waste any more time. He’s going to take the only man that matters into his arms and lay it all on the line, bare his heart and soul to him and hope for the best.

His superiors believe they have the authority to stop him from taking a jet over the desert skies to keep searching for Tony? They can think again.

Jim’s not a quitter. And he’s not quitting on Tony.

mcu stevetony and rhodeytony for the ship bingo :)

Hi hello a month late but! we got a bingo with mcu stevetony which is unsurprising but still fun

they are so ‘fated to know and love each other in a million ways, in a million lives, in a million universes’ to me <3

& as for rhodeytony:

I def feel like what they have is a deeper emotional connection than simply being friends, but whether I think it’s more of a found family situation or an extremely chill FWB situation changes depending on the context & my mood & the story ya dig?

#stevetony #James rhodes #rhodeytony #signed sealed delivered #berryslopez #thank you for the ask! #also I feel like I would be very very sad if rhodey & Tony went through the same trials that stevetony do #whereas when stevetony go through a divorce that has nationwide political ramifications it’s like. that’s just foreplay #sorry *international* political ramifications

RhodeyTony Month- Who knits the ugly sweater and who wears it with pride?

The thing is... neither of them can knit. So when Momma Rhodes sends them both ugly sweaters in MIT, they don't know what to think.

"This is... ugly. Momma never knits ugly sweaters..." Rhodey wonders what his mother was thinking.

"It's homemade! I love it!" Tony is ecstatic.

They wear them when Roberta Rhodes visits. She laughs at Tony's joy. "I made them ugly," she confides in Rhodey. "I wanted to see if Tony would meet my expectations."

"And?" Rhodey prompts.

"He exceeds them. That boy is a good match for you."

I absolutely positively completely forgot to crosspost my rhodeytony month posts from twitter SO !! If you didn’t know, this past November was RhodeyTony month and the theme was seasons of love!! So ! Without further ado I present:

RhodeyTony Seasons of Love

Week 1- Spring

Day 1 - Who tends to the garden and who isn’t allowed near plant life?

Well let’s talk about it right? I mean Tony loves loves loves gardening. It’s something his mama had taught him to do from the time he was a kid and it was one of the things he regretted not keeping up with immediately following her death. He clearly has a soft spot for doing the handiwork and Rhodey isn’t at all surprised to find a garden on the patio of their first apartment after college. Rhodey on the other hand, has killed far too many plants and by order of Mama Rhodes is no longer allowed near any plant life. Of course that’s an exaggeration but when he’s with his Mama? Well no siree he is not allowed near any of her plants. This becomes a funny moment for them because soon enough, when Rhodey is home enough after his first five-year deployment, Tony finally sits down and teaches Rhodey the basics of manning a garden. He gets it. Barely. And it’s funny because Rhodey eventually gets a tattoo of a purple dwarf iris — the flower Tony always has growing for him in their garden. As time goes on, the garden becomes a staple of who they are and how they care for each other in their relationship. And when Tony dies, Rhodey is left to care for the garden. It withers sometimes. It wavers in confidence. He shakes a lot. But he keeps the purple dwarf irises up. No matter what, his will always have those in their garden.

[lovelyirony]

hi hello i am feeling very angsty so: rhodeytony ft tony's worrying lack of interest in avoiding getting kidnapped and his bodyguard rhodes' increasing stress levels to save a boss that doesn't want to be saved (and, if the flutter in his heart should be anything to go by - should not be his boss anymore). bodyguard to lovers??

Rhodey is a good bodyguard. Hell, he’s the best. 

That was why Pepper Potts hired him, after all. He’s not easy to fool, can follow anyone with a dogged determination that nearly defies human nature. He’s had successful stories before with glowing reviews from multiple people from all different threatened backgrounds. 

(Including at least three world leaders and a pope.) 

Tony Stark is...new. Well, nearly new. He’s a businessman, which isn’t anything out of the ordinary for Rhodey to deal with. 

…except Tony’s highly eclectic, a billionaire, and purposely makes his behavior as erratic as possible. 

It’s fun. What can Rhodey say? He loves a challenge, and Tony is about as challenging as they come. 

-

When he first starts, Tony tries every trick in the book. Rhodey still sticks to him, although he does leave some distance. Tony tries to make him uncomfortable by bringing just about everyone who looks home, and all Rhodey says is, “you gonna feed them cereal when they wake up? Because that’s all you have in your pantry right now, and you don’t pay me to do the shopping.” 

Tony scowls at that, and then changes his strategy. 

-

It’s an odd strategy. 

Tony decides he will just make Rhodey his friend, starting with the nickname of “Rhodey.” 

“That’s stupid,” Rhodey says, because he can already tell it will stick. 

“Not my problem, just my solution,” Tony grins. “Now come on, we’re getting burgers.” 

They’re at a sit-down restaurant. One of Tony’s favorites, actually. Rhodey is not sure why he’s sitting down across from the man with the most influence in the world, but he is. 

“So, what’s new with you? Who are you?” Tony asks. “Pepper sent me your file. You’re from Philly, right?” 

“Oh my god, you sound weird when you say it like that,” Rhodey says, deciding against formality as he basically tells Tony Stark that he sounds weird and shouldn’t say “Philly.” 

“Oh what, is that not what the locals call it?” 

“I’m going to take you there and they’re going to beat you up.” 

“Not the worst Sunday night I’ve ever had,” Tony mentions. “Hey, look at the menu. I don’t want you to flounder when the waitress shows up and you know fuck-all about what they have to offer.” 

“Okay asshole, any recommendations?” 

“The banana milkshake and bacon-burger.” 

Rhodey looks at the menu. 

He does end up with the bacon-burger, but chooses strawberry for his flavor of milkshake. 

“You traitor.” 

“Oh am I? Well then let me tell Pepper that you stole the last good pen she had then-” 

Tony flings a fry at him, and Rhodey laughs. 

- 

Here’s a concerning thing: Tony has a very “c’est la vie” approach about kidnapping. 

Like he genuinely doesn’t really give a shit if he knows what’s going on, or even if he doesn’t. 

Rhodey was eagle-eyed and chased a van three fucking blocks and caught up to the driver, wherein he punched his lights out and got Tony out. His hands were bound in zip-ties and his suit was rumpled, but Tony just blinked at him. 

“You think you broke a racing record with that?” 

“Are you okay? Are you hurt? Did they take anything?” 

Rhodey’s all over Tony, checking for any injuries, any stolen wallets or watches, and thank god everything is there. (Not that Tony would really care if anything was stolen, save for his sunglasses. He spends far too much on those, in Rhodey’s opinion.) 

“Okay geez,” Tony says, batting Rhodey’s hands away. “I’m fine. These people were amateurs. Shit, I’m running late for my consultation meeting, aren’t I?” 

“You just got kidnapped,” Rhodey says, tone rife with disbelief. “You just got taken and your concern is with the consultation meeting?” 

“Well I figured that you were going to come by or I’d be gone a lot longer, but now that I’m not? Yeah. Yeah, I am concerned with the consultation meeting. It’s a tech start-up company, only not that shitty Silicon-nice-guy start-up. It’s a more inclusive thing. I don’t know, I read their little ‘about’ section on their website. Which needs work. But that’s besides the point.” 

Rhodey just follows, dumb in disbelief. 

The few rare times that previous clients have been kidnapped or even attempted, they’ve needed a day to recuperate at minimum. They were shaken up, and usually beefed up the security for the rest of time after it. They also scheduled therapy appointments. 

Tony treated this like it was a traffic jam and he was only running five minutes behind. 

- 

The second time it happens when Rhodey’s there, it lasts a little longer. 

Rhodey has to admit, he maybe did some...under-the-radar looks. The FBI wasn’t moving fast enough, and the legal channels weren’t up to snuff. And besides, Tony did say that he could use Jarvis if he really wanted to. 

(Turns out they both went to MIT at the same time, and Tony had been that obnoxiously short guy in his econ class that rarely showed up, but when he did he showed up in a suspiciously nice outfit.) 

It was a weekend. Rhodey had gone away for two seconds to get a drink for Tony and then he was gone. 

It was...bad. 

The problem is this: 

Tony definitely doesn’t need to be kidnapped as often as he is. He has so many inventions that can prevent that, he’s sold quite a few of them to the military. 

But for some fucking reason, he doesn’t want to be saved. No, he’s content just going along with what’s happening, even though everyone else around him wants him back. Needs him back. 

He finds him bruised and tied up to a shitty folding chair. 

“Hey darling,” Tony says, lips a bloody red. “Can you believe this chair? I would’ve thought they would at least have gotten something a tad nicer. I am their best-dressed guest, after all.” 

Rhodey looks over the torn shirt and the pants that have all but been shredded. His shoes are battered and stained beyond repair. 

“Don’t,” Rhodey says. He sounds tired. He is tired. “Don’t do this.” 

“Don’t do what, get kidnapped? I hardly try,” Tony snaps. “Or do I just have a sign on my back that you didn’t know was there?” 

“You know I was in the Air Force,” Rhodey snaps back. “I got high enough clearance that I was one of the guys who got to see what brand new toy you sent our way. I know you could use any of those, shit, you probably tested it out, so you would know.” 

“And your point?” Tony asks. “What, you’re saying I should know better? Saying you know better than me?” 

“You know what? Yeah, yeah I am saying that,” Rhodey yells as he’s untying him. “I am fucking saying that I know more than you because you couldn’t give less of a shit if you tried about your own well-being! You were kidnapped and I’ve been running myself ragged trying to get you back, and you just don’t care!” 

Tony stares at him. Really stares at him. 

“Let’s go home.” 

Nothing else is said in the car ride home. Tony can’t even look at Rhodey. 

They go home, where Pepper greets Tony with a hug and makes him swear not to leave again, and Tony says “I promise,” only they both know that he’s lying. 

But they’re not calling him out on it yet. No, not tonight. 

- 

Rhodey stays. Technically he doesn’t have to. Jarvis is the most advanced artificial intelligence system in the world. Hell, he’s the only one that’s even in his league, but Rhodey just...feels better staying. 

And Tony’s mansion is a gargantuan structure with about twenty different rooms to choose from, so Rhodey gets a nice view and tries to go to bed. 

He’s never gotten enough sleep. He knows he never would. That’s why the army loved him: he could be up at any hour and he’d be fine. That’s why his dad called him the bane of his existence in a loving manner: Rhodey would be up at four in the morning filling out the crossword before anyone else could. 

He’s up at four a.m. making breakfast. 

Tony’s pantry is still shit, but it looks like Pepper went shopping for him or had someone else do it, because he actually has eggs and juice and actual food instead of the odd pickle jar or way-too-old yogurt. 

“You’re...up,” Tony says. 

Rhodey turns around. 

“Sorry. I, um. Stayed.” 

“It’s fine,” Tony says awkwardly. “What are you making?” 

“Omelet.” 

“I always mess those up,” he says. “Either too much cheese or I forget I’m cooking it.” 

“You want one?” 

“You gonna make me one?” 

“Accidentally cracked one too many eggs, so yes. You want onions and spinach in yours?” 

“Sure,” Tony says. “What are you doing up?” 

“Always bad at sleeping,” Rhodey answers. “Can never really stay asleep for too long.” 

“Forget to take your melatonin gummies?” Tony answers, grinning. 

Rhodey can see a bruise on his collarbone. 

“You sleep okay?” 

“No, but I rarely ever do,” Tony says. “Especially after yesterday’s fiasco.” 

“You mean the whole weekend,” Rhodey says, putting the rest of the eggs into the pan. “Can’t imagine that was fun.” 

“Oh come on, it was a ball,” Tony answers sarcastically. “They let me play cops-and-robbers and I was given pizza. Clearly it was a fantastic time.” 

Rhodey stares at Tony. 

“You know in the contract that I had you sign it specifically states that you have to let me help you, right?” 

“It says you have to rescue me regardless of feelings or previous obligations,” Tony says. 

“Rescuing you doesn’t just mean I chase after vans and track you down in an abandoned warehouse, it means that I rescue you from those situations before they can happen. But I can only do that if you agree that you won’t get kidnapped,” he says. 

“And what, I want to?” Tony asks. “Do I say that?” 

“You don’t have to,” Rhodey says, flipping the omelet over. “You never think you’re worth rescuing it because you think you’re never going to be good enough and I think you think that you owe me for giving a shit.” 

Tony looks at him. 

“You’re really honest.” 

“I try to be.” 

“I love that about you.” 

Rhodey’s hand shakes slightly as he moves the omelet a bit in the pan. He hopes Tony doesn’t notice. 

“Well I would love it if you stopped being kidnapped.” 

“Aye aye, Colonel Rhodes,” Tony says, saluting. Rhodey rolls his eyes. 

“Oh my god, do not.” 

“What, am I not supposed to thank our armed services for making this country safe?” he mocks, standing up. “For going above and beyond the call of patriotism and helping keep Americans everywhere safe?” 

Rhodey threatens to eat his omelet when he breaks into singing the national anthem. 

- 

There’s an...understanding. 

Tony starts taking up training with Happy and almost agrees to regular training with Rhodey until Rhodey wants him to get up at six and do some workouts, and he yells “No!” after one workout session. 

Rhodey pointedly pretends like he’s not staring at Tony’s chest when he lifts up his shirt to wipe away the sweat. 

“Come on Rhodey my darling, let’s do breakfast.” 

Tony dragging him to breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. It’s...nice. Rhodey ignores it when Tony waggles his eyebrows as he takes the check and calls him “darling, honey, baby,” and he lets him because it sounds nice. 

He doesn’t say anything to Tony. No, you can’t date your boss. It’s unprofessional as hell and Tony probably is just doing it because Rhodey’s in close proximity and they have a good banter going. 

- 

The next time that Tony has an attempted kidnapping, Rhodey is there. 

He’s there, and he’s being taken away, dragged from Tony, and Tony for the first time looks terrified. 

Rhodey tries to struggle, tries to do anything, because Tony has to get away, and he...

He’s knocked unconscious. 

-

When he wakes up, his head hurts worse than it ever has, and for a moment he’s pissed at Tony because he forgets that he’s been kidnapped and there’s no control over the thermostat because the room is hot as all get out. 

And then he sees Tony across from him, and he’s never seen Tony angry. 

“I’m sorry,” Tony says, voice shaking. “I’ll get us out of here. I promise. I’m sorry.” 

“Not your fault we have assholes take us,” Rhodey says. “But god I would kill for some air conditioning.” 

Tony smiles a bit at that. 

- 

Here’s a problem: you cannot give Tony Stark anything if you want him to not escape. Either that or he has to be unconscious because he’s a stubborn son of a bitch. 

And they used actual handcuffs to keep him there. God, what a joke. 

Tony learned how to break out of handcuffs when he was twenty and chained to a bedpost on accident. (Long story.) 

This is nothing. 

But the problem is that Rhodey’s here. His bodyguard who really shouldn’t be putting his life on the line for someone as shitty as Tony, but here they are, and he has to get him out. 

“Follow my lead,” Tony whispers. 

“Well of course I will, who else has as much experience being kidnapped as you?” Rhodey mutters. 

“Okay is now going to be the time where you sass me? You’re here too. I could leave you.” 

“You’re not gonna do that, Pepper would make you come back.” 

“No she wouldn’t.” 

“Yeah she would!” 

“Not after I tell her that you used the last of her salad dressing.” 

“Shit.” 

Tony snorts, looking at the room. They don’t have security cameras, which is just...questionable. Oh my god, he got kidnapped by amateurs. 

He’s kind of embarrassed. 

Rhodey gets free, and they’re both headed towards a door, and Rhodey picks up a stray part of a metal pole, and Tony cannot lie and say he’s not intrigued by that. 

Not saying he hopes Rhodey gets to use it. 

He’s just curious how he’ll utilize it. 

- 

They get to just. Walk out. They fucking walk out. What kind of people did they get kidnapped from? It can’t be that easy, can it? 

It can’t be...

It is. 

Okay sure Tony is driving in a hotwired car and they’re being shot at, but all things considered that’s not the worst thing. And the truck is probably considered stolen anyways, and once Tony makes it to the highway, it’s not like they’ll be able to follow without making it onto national news, not that they haven’t already. 

Pepper’s very effective at getting things to trend on national news when she wants to. 

- 

Rhodey is sitting on a beach chair. He shouldn’t be, and he also shouldn’t be drinking a mimosa because it’s four p.m. and definitely the morning, but he figures since he got kidnapped he’s allowed at least one mimosa. 

“So. Your first kidnapping?” Tony asks. “All things considered, yours went well. I think next time we should go to Wendy’s or something, I was starving-” 

“I’m just. I’m glad we’re okay,” Rhodey says. “But yeah. Maybe next time. If there is a next time. I’m going to I think make you hold hands with me so that you don’t get napped by terrible, shitty people.” 

“You could’ve just asked to hold my hand, we didn’t need to be kidnapped together,” Tony says. 

“Hm, is that a breach of contract?” Rhodey teases. 

“Only if Pepper decides to enforce it, and she won’t because you’re the first bodyguard to have an actual success story with me,” Tony says. “So. I’m thinking maybe we skip the kidnapping next time and go straight for dinner.” 

“Oh thank god, I thought you were gonna say a fast food restaurant.” 

“I still could, you don’t know,” Tony grins, winking. “What if our first date is to Burger King? What are you gonna do?” 

“Be mad that I still like you,” Rhodey grumbles. 

Tony cackles, dropping a kiss onto his hand. 

“Do you think I should get another bodyguard or will dragging you away during a party be too awkward for them?” 

“...I’ll think about it.” 

(They don’t get a new bodyguard. 

No matter how much the other security complains that Rhodey’s the only one who knows where Tony is at all times, and they can’t exactly ask them if they’re busy doing...things. 

Rhodey finds it hilarious.)

tattoo shop au with tony...iconic

Rhodey stumbled upon the shop by mistake. In his defence, it was snowing, he was cold and wet because Sam had once again stolen his favourite hoodie because he was a Bastard Man. So he wasn’t really paying attention when he got sick of the snowstorm and ducked into the nearest shop he could find. “Welcome to Tony’s Tattoo’s! I’m Tony and-”Rhodey banged his elbow on the doorframe, promptly tripped over his feet and faceplanted on the ground. He thought tattoo artists were all edgy and covered in ink, no one warned him about cute tattoo artists staring at him confusedly with wide brown eyes!

“Leave me here to die.” He said from the floor. Dying sounded great, then he didn’t have to deal with the fact he faceplanted like an idiot in front of a cute guy. 

“Sorry, that would be bad for business.” Footsteps approached and Rhodey reluctantly accepted the hand which hauled him to his feet so fast he nearly fell over again. Dammit, cute and strong. “I’m assuming you didn’t mean to fall into my shop?”

“No, I was just hiding from the storm.” He glanced out the window at the storm that was getting even worse. “And uh,” Rhodey gestured awkwardly to his arm. “It’s not like I can get one.”

“Who told you that?” Tony said, looking genuinely baffled. “Dark skin can hold pigment just as much as light skin. I personally find the contrast even better if you go for bold colours. What were you planning to get?”

They stared at each other. “Oh.” Rhodey said lamely. “Uhm, I was planning on sunflowers. It’s for my mom.”

Tony was already nodding with a smile. “You would look great with yellow.” He turned towards the back of the shop. “Come on hot stuff, we can look at a couple options until it stops snowing.”  

“My names Rhodey.” He said, thankful Tony couldn’t see his blush. 

Tony winked. “I think hot stuff works much better.”

January Recap!

It has been a fun month of not really writing but also writing a ton to prepare for new stories and celebrating Five Whole Years of fandom nonsense HOLLA. 

AO3 says I’ve written 216 Fics and 4,545,824 words since 2017 and while those numbers aren’t quite accurate (several of my ‘works’ are collections of short stories and I have LOTS of writing on Tumblr that I never moved over to AO3!) I still feel like that’s a hell of a lot of words for someone who hadn’t even heard of *fan fiction* before 2017. 

Also doesn’t feel like ENOUGH words cos some of the verses feel way bigger to my heart and my soul than a word count could possibly contain, but hey, I’m still proud of the stats and definitely wouldn’t have written near that many without reader support, commissions and y’all giving me ideas that I absolutely have to get down on paper so cheers to YOU. 

January Fics: 

Sleepwalking (Stony)

Best Friends (Spideypool)

Room Service (Frostiron)

You Light Up My Life (RhodeyTony)

Silence (Winteriron)

Phone Calls (Stony)

The Way to His Heart (TonyxEveryone)

Coming Up! 

Stay tuned for the 2022 Writing Plans Post, book order notifications come through your emails and the first chapter of our first 2022 fic “Sea Swept” coming along next week!

Happy Saturday!
