fic search

[airwaveeight.livejournal.com]

ah, normally I have a decent enough memory to be able to find whatever I remember reading, but this one is evading me. (Though knowing my luck, it's something like 10 pages back in the comm and I'm just an idiot)

However, all I can remember is it starts off with Tony being tortured/experimented on, and the plot behind it involves Justin Hammer, and Tony ends up with a hardware upgrade on his temple. (I vaguely recall this being some kind of challenge response, but since I can't find it...)

I'm also kind of looking for a fic where Tony gets involved in studying the Tesseract while Steve is gone/not around to supervise(?) and goes a little insane on it and gets forced into taking leave, and later Jane thanks him for all his work on it.

sigh. memory fail REALLY sucks. Seriously, wasn't there a 2010 Bigbang masterpost? Cause it's not there anymore and that's very upsetting. If there was a 2010 bigbang that is. (I swear, I keep remembering fics I read but can't find on AO3 or ToS and have no idea where else they'd be.)


ed: thank you all for your help! much obliged! <3

I think this is one of those stories.

why yes, yes it is. And I already loaded it on my Kindle. God dammit.

THANK YOU. Really. It would've driven me to distraction thinking I couldn't find it.

^_^ Glad I could help. It's an awesome story.

Not sure about 2010, but there is this for what I think is 2009 Bigbang. I know it has some stories that I haven't found anywhere else.

see, I knew about the 2009 comm (but hey, that page had one more fic that I didn't catch there, so bonus!) but I could've sworn there was a 2010 one. I may be mistaken. I hop fandoms way too quickly these days.

There was a 2010 Reverse Big Bang (master post here), and a 2011 Big Bang (master post here), but no one ran a Big Bang in 2010, I'm afraid.

okay, thanks. I wasnt sure if i was imagining things or not.

The second one isn't Tomorrow Belongs to Me (http://archiveofourown.org/works/259417/) is it? It doesn't quite fit what you recall, but it's the first thing to come to mind with the Tesseract, and I'm pretty sure that has to be a 2011-vintage fic in any case, since we didn't get any details on that until CA:TFA

[airwaveeight.livejournal.com]

what I remember of it doesn't fit valtyr's writing style, but I guess it could've been. I know Tomorrow Belongs To Me DOES fit the other fragments I have floating around, so I guess I just need to buckle down and reread it.

If you're willing to entertain the idea that tony wasn't studying the Tesseract. I have vague recollection of Tony studying the writing on a lock/box of some kind that was demon script and it possesses him and he has to be forced to stop working on it but that ultimately doesn't work. This could have nothing to do with the fic you're looking for, but maybe it does?

[mis-mariposas.livejournal.com]

Ha, it was also an AU written for the 2011 bigbang: http://archiveofourown.org/works/255390

But there's no Jane as far as I can recall. So probably not what you're looking for.

[airwaveeight.livejournal.com]

nope, that's definitely not the one, though it's equally as good.

[teyke.livejournal.com]

Very sure that the second one is this one: http://archiveofourown.org/works/274916

[airwaveeight.livejournal.com]

YES. THANK YOU. <3

Ah, the fact that it's in a series is why I didn't find it. I'm too used to stand alones.

Thanks again!

You're welcome! It gave me an excuse to reread some awesome fic. :)
