Title: But the Heart
Author/Artist: kahn
Artist: davincis_girl
Rating: Teen-ish? For language, mostly.
Universe: movie!verse
Pairings/Characters: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark; mysterious!child!Peter Parker
Warnings: I ramble a lot and then the plot kicks in at the last possible second? Fluff. Some very vague hints of child abuse.
Word Count: ~23,500
A/N: This was written for the avengers_bang (so apologies for those of you who are seeing this twice).While this story DOES take place in the movie!verse, it was 90% written before I actually saw the movie. I went back and forth on whether or not I could rewrite this to make it movie-compliant, and after a great deal of waffling and some butt-kicking from my beta, I took most of the movie references out again. So! This is basically spoiler-free unless you look very very hard, and also some of the characterizations may seem sliiightly off, as I was guessing on how they'd interact.
Summary: "Okay. So. Kids. It can't be too hard, right? People dumber than us raise kids all the time. Not much to them. Just feed them, water them, distract them with shiny things and make sure they aren't unsupervised for too long. Speaking of which, how long has tiny-spawn been alone in your kitchen?"
Beta: The as-always brilliant nightwalker who had to put up with some truly obnoxious whining and incoherency this time around. Sorry!
