Tony meets Steve or Bruce earlier?

[katsheswims.livejournal.com]

Hello. I'm looking for any fic recs where Tony somehow meets Bruce or Steve earlier than canon (movie canon). During the events of Iron Man 1 or 2 or even before that is alright.

Thanks! Longer the better and any pairings are fine/or just gen.

this probably doesn't fit the bill but I just finished a story where Steve and Tony grow up together. It is Stony.

Slipping Through The Years (http://archiveofourown.org/works/406466?view_adult=true) (ghost AU) and His Fate Will Be Unlearned (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1055361/chapters/2113330) (more AU than the ghost AU, imo) are Steve/Tony.

EDIT: Also Conditions of the Heart (http://archiveofourown.org/series/17718?hide_banner=true).

Also not exactly what you were looking for since I think it's after the Avengers come together to fight Loki, but Tony wasn't there for that so you might be interested in this series: Will of Iron, Heart of Glass (http://archiveofourown.org/series/15246)

Summary
In an AU, instead of taking out Tony's arc-reactor, Obadiah Stane kidnapped Tony, faked his death in a "lab accident", imprisoned him, and forced him to design weapons for Stane.

Bruce is going about his day hacking Stark Industries to learn more about the Hulkbuster weapons when he comes across some discrepancies in the code--subtle things, like inefficient loops in otherwise streamlined code, bizarre variable names, or incorrect comments.

Intrigued, he goes through all the code of SI's weapons industry, comes up with a pattern, and finds the messages Tony has been hiding in the code.

And then he goes and busts Tony out. Lots of badassery, including on Tony's part--he may be defeated, but he's not broken.



Darn, now I'm trying to remember a fic that I know is in my bookmarks somewhere. It's where Tony Stark was assumed dead in Afghanistan. Tony ends up in India with Bruce, working as a mechanic, and Steve, Natasaha and Clint find them while looking for the Hulk/Banner.

I'll post the link when I find it.

EDIT
I found it!
