Looking for angsty Tony-centric fic recs

[team-iron-man.livejournal.com]

Hello, 

I'm currently looking for fics that are Tony-centric and have a lot of angst in them, as well as hurt and comfort. 

I would really appreciate things like Tony hiding serious injuries after a battle and him trying to deal with past issues, like abuse. 

Thanks!

- Tony did not like many things, fire extinguishers, cats, Thor breaking his doorknobs, or Loki indents on his marble floor. What Tony couldn't STAND, was small dark spaces that pressed in on him, and the harsh sounds of other languages that sounded too familier for him to handle. Combine the two, and you have a lethal combination.TRIGGER WARNING

Prompt fill: can u write like a hs au, with avengers as a group of friends. they act like they think tony doesn't have feelings, they seem to never take him seriously and they often tease him or laugh at sth that actually hurts him (they dont know that it makes him feel bad) he usually just takes it, because he thinks he deserves it. but then he has just the worst day ever, and they make some comment abt sth and he just breaks and starts crying, cause he just wants someone to care abt him. they comfort him.

There are obvious downsides to being the only member of the Avengers who is not a super soldier, a god, or a super assassin, and does not Hulk out when aggravated.
The most obvious one is that when villains want bait, they've got a go-to guy.
Tony already knew Mondays sucked. He did not need his opinion reinforced this way.

PROMPT:
Tony is being left out of The Avengers, and puts it down to him being useless/boring/only good for his money. No one notices what's up before Tony's gone pretty far down the road of self hatred, thinking about when he was abused as a child and about how Howard was right.
(Or, the one where I make Tony sad for a really long time)

I apologise for what is about to be one longass list. Have fun. XD

A few months have passed since the Avengers fought the Chitauri, and the team is coming together, except for Tony, who seems to be coming apart. At first, Steve assumes that he's just being irresponsible and annoying, but then JARVIS clues him in.

Tony is never, ever drinking again. Or flirting. Or riding in a limo. Or leaving his workshop unless it's life-or-death for someone other than him, because honestly? Death's starting to look like a pretty good out.

There were hundreds of times in Tony Stark's life that he wished he were dead. Take away the hangovers and you were left with only five. Luckily, blood isn't always thicker and he's pretty sure his is 80% Scotch anyway and sometimes you just have to choose your own family. And if the pickings are a little slim? Well, good thing he's a genius and can build them. Or the 5 suicide attempts of Tony Stark.

Clint and Steve have both seen Natasha’s report on Tony and expect him to be a certain way. With Pepper now out of the picture, Bruce in India and Thor is Asgard they have no one to show them just how wrong first impressions can be.

Tony Stark doesn't need to be safe, sane, and consensual. He has JARVIS instead. (Then he gets Steve.)

http://archiveofourown.org/works/381185
Steve takes things like personal responsibility and respect seriously. Tony's got people he pays to take care of that kind of thing, and anyway, he's pretty sure that he's going to die of some exotic disease in his workshop, because Dummy's still a little spotty about what is 'clean' enough to put on an open wound. The rest of the Avengers are in this for personal gain, except for Clint, he just enjoys being a dick.
And some things shouldn't be a chore.

Tony has hit the peak of his endurance, and the walls he’s built around himself have started to fall. Steve comes to make it better.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/3901696
It's been weeks since Sokovia and Tony has accepted that JARVIS is gone. Really, he has. Barring a few nightmares and sleepless nights, he's fine. Or, he thinks he is. And then, one night, the Vision shows up in his tower with an offer that's too good to be true.

Continued in another comment, I ran out of characters.

When Natasha actually smiles at Barnes and Barnes in return gets to call her ‘Nat’ without being killed in a scary and extremely painful way, Tony decides Barnes hasn’t just encroached on his territory, he’s fucking invaded and set up a new regime. Or: In which Tony acquires a family, then a Steve and Bucky Barnes returns from the dead to ruin Tony’s life.

One by one the Avengers seem to be turning on Tony, until he is isolated and alone, with no one left he can trust. Unsure what to believe anymore, betrayal seems to lurk around every corner. When he resolves to confront them, can anyone stand between him and what seems to be the inevitable destruction of the Avengers? Or is it already too late?

Tony dwells in his workshop for weeks after New York, endlessly tinkering. However, in his daze, he has forgotten that he is not truly alone.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/555627
one of the Avengers casually removing the arc reactor for something (presumably something important enough to do so without asking, but definitely not important enough that they'd consider risking someone's life for it). Because none of them were ever told what it really was. They assume it's just a power source for the suit. Tony, though, honestly thinks they all do know what it's for, and thus is horrified and betrayed. And they all learn the hard way just what it is as he lays there dying by their hand (and then fix him in the nick of time, of course).

http://archiveofourown.org/works/667307
Tony almost sacrifices himself to save his team – which awakens some of the Avengers to the fact that they’re not done becoming a team. After this they decide they must become more in order to survive and support each other. Consulting Tony about this change isn’t strictly necessary.

I do actually have more on an old rec list regarding tony's PTSD, somewhere that I'll find for you later.

hello this list is so good. some of this i already read and/or bookmarked myself but i found new works too that i'm looking forward to read. i would love that rec list about tony's ptsd if you can find it please

I totally forgot, sorry, I wasn't signed in so didn't get an alert or anything. I'll track it down for you now or recompile it if I can't find it. Pretty sure I tagged it so brb.

[x0x-lou-x0x.livejournal.com]

Me again. I haven't done summaries on this list because you sort of know the premise of them anyway and those things are LONG on some of them. A couple of the PTSD fics are in my previous list, I think like All the Reasons Why, Reap What You Sow and a couple of others and someone already recced Vital for Understanding above but here are the rest.

https://archiveofourown.org/series/26507 < so much better than it looks at first glance. The tags and summary do it no justice. Tony has a panic attack and possesses a spaceship. Poor baby has issues.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/3068552 < part of a huge series of fics that are all pretty great. Some hilarious and some heartbreaking.

That's all I can find atm but if I come across any more I will add them on for you.
