Rating: PG-13

Warnings: terminal illness
Summary: ‘And now, you’ve got this superhero thing going on and as sweet as it is, as important as it might seem to you, I hate, I just hate when you say you can’t do this or that, when you refuse something that’d make you happy because of someone else. I preferred the selfish you. ‘Cause you were happier.'
There is less and less time and Tony has many decisions to make while unforeseen issues arise. Sometimes it's too easy to forget that there is a lot more is going on than just his internal struggle.

Rating: PG-13

Warnings: terminal illness, mentions of medical procedures
Summary: But I know you are you really asking me if I’m ever going to tell them that Iron Man and Nate Rives and Tony Stark are the same person, or at least two of them, right? I – I don’t know. I don’t even think about it right now. Let’s – let’s not think about it,’ Tony adds, massaging his temples, a lemony scent of the tea soothing his headache slightly.
‘I hope you will trust them enough to tell them, at some point, sir,’ JARVIS says before going silent.


It's hard to avoid people when they become your friends. Tony tries to stay out of sight, but he might be too tired and involved in too many things at once to keep all of his acts perfect. There's no telling how long he'll manage to run from the truth.
