You guys, I think Endgame broke me and now I need some Tony angst with a happy ending. I'm sure this has been requested a million times but this is a huge fandom so I'm hoping there's still plenty to rec.

1) I need to read some accidental victim blaming fic. Where the team thinks Tony is going back to his old reckless, alcoholic, playboy ways and confront him without realizing he's really trying to cope with some sort of new trauma. Abuse, rape/noncon, sexual harrassment, torture, etc. Basically the team being judgemental assholes, accidentally reinforcing Tony's shitty self esteem and belief that it was his fault, then finding out the truth and doing their best to rally around him. Happy endings please! Bonus points if one or more of the Avengers track down Tony's attacker and kick his ass. Slash, het, gen all welcome. I just read https://archiveofourown.org/works/422172/chapters/704413

2) Similarly, I love fics where the Avengers find out that Tony's childhood was not as sweet and priveledged as they thought. Maybe Tony gets deaged or they find videos of kid Tony being held for ransom, or something. Basically I want defensive "I'm totally fine, thank you, fuck off" Tony and horrified, protective team. Bonus points if Cap lectures Tony, comparing him to Howard, only to find out that Howard was an abusive asshole.

Try "Vital for Understanding" by Doodlegirl1998 (https://archiveofourown.org/works/7722406/chapters/17599927) It is not complete, sadly, but it has a lot of revealing of Tony's past... The Avengers watch Tony's past from many angles and find out that he is not the man they thought he is... I liked it a lot :)

Summary:

"Fury and Coulson’s eyes were on her, but Toni couldn’t remove her gaze from where her boyfriend was already excitedly reminiscing with the man he knew as his old friend.

Was this karma for all the times that she’d hooked and booked with guys specifically chosen to piss Howard off? It had to be."

~*~*~*~

When Howard Stark is somehow thrown into the future, Toni has to figure out a way to keep her longtime boyfriend from finding out just why she hated his old friend, keep her adopted not-son Peter away from the abusive older Stark, and find a way to send the man back without letting him glean too much about the future, all while watching Steve bro-bond with her dear old dad and reminding people that she was not remotely mother material so everyone just stop encouraging Peter to call her Mommy, damn it!

Piece of cake.

I just recently reread a fic that is kinda exactly what you described while also being kinda exactly the opposite. Tony breaks up with Pepper and reverts to his playboy ways to try to deal with the pain. In doing so, he meets Mark, who turns out to be an abusive, manipulative asshole. In the beginning, Tony thinks that he shouldn't be treated the way he is, but when he tries to discuss it with his teammates, there are all sorts of misunderstandings. Essentially, they reinforce that whatever his new boyfriend is doing to Tony, it's making him behave much better and that they like the new Tony. It's all just a spiraling mess after that.

Anyway, this is a long fic and I was definitely weary about one of the main characters being original at first, but this fic will blow your mind. It's totally worth reading. P.S., this fic is incomplete and I believe it will remain that way forever, but it doesn't leave you feeling unsatisfied with what you got by the end. So don't let that discourage you either. Definitely give this a shot.

"The Price of Happiness" by otherhawk. 74,804 words. 10 chapters.
