Tony Surprise!Sort-of-has-powers fic search

[zolac-no-miko.livejournal.com]

Hello all,

I'm looking for a specific fic I read a while ago, like at least a year ago I think, that's essentially canon movie-verse except that it eventually comes out that Tony has some pseudo-magical ability... he's a Smith or a Maker or... I'm not sure what it was called, but anything he makes is actually an item of power. Tony is still Tony so he's sort of annoyed by the idea that magic has anything to do with what he does. This all becomes important when they figure out why Loki asked Tony to make him a gift of a Starkphone earlier in the fic.

Please please please can anyone help, I'm desperate!

ETA: Resolved! The series I was looking for was The Saga of Hug Fortress, which... I'd like to fervently recommend, but it's a WIP that is unlikely to ever be finished. ;_;

Thanks for your help!

I'm not sure but I think I've read a fic with similar ~smith!Tony theme(s) in it, but I can't find it right now... it might have a been a WIP at the time, or, I don't know, did you check among Like_a_Hurricane (http://archiveofourown.org/users/Like_a_Hurricane)'s fic? They use similar themes in several fics, sometimes more prevalently and sometimes just mentioned in passing... Anyways, just an idea. I'll give looking for the fic I think I remember another try when I get home.

I found the series I was looking for, The Saga of Hug Fortress (http://archiveofourown.org/series/18939) by theorytale, which, unfortunately, IS a WIP that looks like it will never be finished. *sob*

Thanks for your help, I might check out that author!

OK, you didn't say that was an unfinished series. Cruel.

This explains so much about why I couldn't remember any more of the plot after we find out about the craftsman thing....

I'm so sad now. A year ago there was no reason to think the author wouldn't finish it!
