Characters: Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Clint Barton, Natasha Romanov, Bruce Banner, Thor, Amora the Enchantress, Pepper Potts, James Rhodes, Happy Hogan.
Warnings: PTSD. Mentions of past torture. Temporary character death that the characters are aware is (probably) only temporary, though it still takes it's mental toll on them. Mentions of potential child abuse. Mind fuckery. Minor self-abuse. Cliff hangers. Implied bullying. Generally dark fic, though there is a happy ending and no one actually dies. Not Iron Man 3 compliant in the slightest. If you have any questions about the warnings, I'd be more than happy to clarify as best I can.
Rating: I think I'm just going to leave this at an M due to how dark it gets and some of the themes.
Summary: He doesn't remember much from before he woke up, but he does know two things. He doesn't like being called Tony Stark, and he hates Captain America.
Thanks: Many thanks to
narwhale_callin for continuing to beta, even when I've managed to actually confuse her with my word switches this time. I'm still surprised she didn't catch something was off with 'petting' when I meant 'petty'. XD Also, regardless of what she might say, no tea was killed or harmed in the making of this fic.
Notes: So that warning about minor self-harm? That's this chapter. Tony is not entirely aware of what he's doing and a lot of it is subconscious, but there are mentions of it and one particular instance where he holds something sharp a bit too tight without thinking about it. Just be aware of that, if that's one of your triggers. On the plus side, there's plenty of cuddles. Just in case I didn't already have way too many in this fic...
