(208): WHY IN THE FUCK DID YOU LET ME DRUNK PUNCH STEVE? HE IS SUCH A NICE GUY! →

….gdi Tony.

In the spring,
we climbed the rolling hills
and talked about our budding plans.
And we smiled,
our faces like a mirror
showing us our secret sides.
But then the fight:
the sharp words splintering the night,
how I couldn’t be what you’d need…
but oh how I could make you bleed—

I know the border lines we drew between us
keep the weapons down,
keep the wounded safe;
I know our antebellum innocence
was never meant to see the light of our armistice.
But how much would I give to have it back again?
How much did we lose
to live this way?

Vienna Teng - Antebellum

hithah:

This moment is always so sad.

Tony is very, very careful to make sure absolutely nobody else is looking. This is the man who notices EVERYTHING. Galaga. Shawarma. So he already knows exactly who’s in the room and exactly where they’re standing. But he’ll still take the time for one last look, just to be absolutely certain.

The arc reactor is a weakness he’s not about to let the world in on. It’s a vulnerability. It’s a secret meant only for his most trusted inner circle.

And while Tony is so very careful to check all around him to make sure no one else finds out about the arc reactor, he then exposes the secret to the one man who never should have been let in on it. All those strangers Tony is careful to shy away from? They’re nowhere near as dangerous as the life-long friend he’s trusting right now.

Oh, Tony… You need all the hugs ever.

I appear to have written a fanfic.

Oh my.

And then I was suddenly tempted to write fanfic where Steve and Tony have a conversation about Alan Turing, and Tony explains who he was and what happened to him and Steve is disappointed in humanity.

I think I may have a problem, guys.

Now, to write it or not to write it?

You’re trying to resist me, aren’t you? No one can resist me at this range, satellite or not. Look at you: the noble hero. Don’t pretend like all of this wasn’t your idea in the first place. Everything I’ve made you do in the last few weeks, it all came from you. I just gave you the push you needed.  For so long, I’ve been able to take anything I wanted, but it wasn’t enough. I should have been able to rule the world with my power. And through you, Stark, that’s exactly what I’m doing. You could have had it all, at any time you wanted. Everybody listens to Tony Stark. Everybody loves Iron Man. You shouldn’t have mocked me. You thought it would be funny, that day in the restaurant, didn’t you? To make fun of me.  To make me look stupid. Do you feel smart now?

Tony: It’ll take some time, but I’ll put it right. Everything I did, I’ll fix. But it’ll never be enough. Ever since I became Iron Man, I’ve tried to make sure the weapons I made didn’t fall into the wrong hands. And I was turned into a weapon.

Steve: No one blames you, Tony. The world knows it was the Purple Man. Everyone was in the same boat as you. He was controlling all of us.

Tony: No. You shook Purple Man’s control. So did the others. And everything Purple Man had me do… it was all inside me. They were all ideas I had. I’m supposed to be the futurist, working to build a better tomorrow. What I did…is that future I’ve been working toward?

Steve: I don’t believe that. And I don’t think it was a mistake that you forgot about The Vision, or that you sent me to the mansion the night he woke. I think you were fighting the Purple Man the whole time. I think you hoped The Vision would free me. I know you believe in the future, but I believe in people, and I choose to believe in you, Iron Man.

when people think drunk!Tony is hilarious and don’t realize he’s struggled with alcoholism for years

#no but really #a massive chunk of Tony’s character is his drinking problem #when people try to hurt Tony that is what they bring up #when STEVE wanted to hurt Tony in Civil War that’s what he brought up #he is willing to forgive the mistakes of others and willing to take on allies that no-one else would touch #because he is always aware that he is one glass of champagne away from the guy who had to be carried drunk from a burning building

Even more than historical inaccuracies or naive/flustered/dumb Steve, even more than sudden unexplained manpain or weird rom-com-dialogue about ~commitment~, this is the thing that will yank me out of the flow of a fanfic, make me pause and say ‘no’.

It’s not like I’m saying drunk!Tony shouldn’t make an appearance in fanfics.  Drunk!Tony happens, and it’s not pretty or funny, but it is something worth writing about.  And I get it if it’s the other characters - the ones who don’t know him well, not Pepper or Rhodey - who find Tony amusing when drunk.  That’s perfectly reasonable.  But when it’s just a fic about the Avengers hitting the bars, and Tony slurring and boasting and stumbling around is fodder for comedic relief?  No thank you, proceed to your nearest back button in an orderly fashion.

Holy unexpected Tonyfeels, Batman!

This keeps happening, I’ll have my music on shuffle, and a song will come on that I’ve heard before, but suddenly I realize that, refracted through the lens of some Avengers-related thing, it is even better than I ever imagined.

So, new headcanon accepted, this song is completely, irrevocably pre-Iron Man Tony Stark, while he was still a whirlwind of booze and parties and meaningless sex and fast cars and war profiteering and extravagance and smiles that didn’t quite make it to his eyes.

So I left, that is it.

That’s my life, nothing is sacred.

I don’t keep friends, I keep acquainted.

I’m not a prophet, but I’m here to profit.
