Author: Ivorysilk
Word Count: Approx. 11.5K
Rating: PG
Spoilers: None. This is sort of very loosely movie-verse, because it’s all I know, but is like set in vague!verse, really.
Summary: Five times Tony looks for home.
Author’s Ramble: So, um, I was going to do five good length fics for bingo, and started a bunch of fics (which were not so much with the finishing), and this was going to be for only one of the prompts (guess which one!) but then I ran out of time and panicked, and so ended up converting this into what I like to fondly believe is a five times fic that sort of uses each of the prompts in each of the ficlet sections, so basically, I cheated. I confess to cheating, I acknowledge I cheated, no banner for me (while each ficlet can be standalone, Steve isn’t in the first two at all really, and barely in the third, but I will at least get to say I gave it a try. ☺ Also, I was kind of happy by the fact it sort of worked, so.) Each of the sections does relate to a prompt in the bottom line, and I’ve labeled them for ease. I've posted this in two parts, because it's late and LJ made me, but since each part is basically a ficlet, I'll go over this post and break them up properly into five posts later. Links are below!

Also, this is my first ever post in this comm, and also, my first over Steve/Tony fic, and also, this is not beta’d because did I mention the running out of time? I’ll try again in round two! Anyway! Comments and criticisms and the helpful pointing out of embarrassing typos so I can fix them before someone else sees (and until I get this thing properly beta’d and edited, and yes, properly posted with proper links) are all gratefully received.

Big Thanks to hoosierbitch for agreeing to and making time to read this over very quickly at the last moment, even though I literally sent it to her a day late and told her she had like an hour, maybe less. Thank you also to dapperanachronism, who also agreed, very last minute, to read this over for me, with a rather similar last minute right before the deadline time constraint. They are the best, and all mistakes are mine; their suggestions were extremely kind and helpful.

Additional Thanks to anyone who reads, thank you to all the bingo organizers for doing all the work and letting me play, and thank you for all the people in chat who were and are so kind to a newbie to this comm!
