So I know Howard stark is canonically not a very loving parent to Tony, or at least, in Tonys pov he isn't. But I like Howard in captain America, and I hate that he became this not very nice man to his son.

So does anyone know some fics where Howard was a good dad, AUs or whatever, I'm not asking for him to cuddle tony and shower him with kisses, but just some fics where he shows Tony how things work, helps him build his first robot, shares stories about Capatain America, or takes his son out for ice cream when he wins the science fair.

Failing that, could I have some Steve and Tony fics where they talk about Howard. Can be fics where Steve finds out what kind of a man Howard turned into if that's all there is.

And lastly, any stories where tony, or ton and Bruce get kidnapped and have to escape using SCIENCE! Cause science bros are awesome. I've read the five reasons people kidnap tony stark fic, which was good, so something similar, no pairings nessecary, and I'm more than happy for tony whump!

Thank you all in advance!

3) Tony gets kidnapped...

No Force in the Universe Can Stop Me by notbeloved07 (http://archiveofourown.org/works/534253?view_full_work=true)
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. (Tony/Bruce)

Also these: (but I'm not sure if they really fulfill your request??)

More Than Was Lost by enigmaticblue (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1037929)
Bruce Banner has managed to fly under the radar for this long, mostly by hiding in plain sight and trading his services for silence. Tony Stark has never lain low in his life. Their worlds are about to collide in a cave in Afghanistan. (Tony/Bruce)

Bend Around the Wind by Scyllaya (http://archiveofourown.org/works/550896/chapters/1942047)
A few months after the battle of New York the God Loki appears back on Stark Tower under chaotic circumstances. This time however he is on the run. Tony Stark gets caught up in the crossfire and is taken along with the Aesir. Can the two of them ever make truce in order to get away? And even if they do, how does one escape from such a dark corner of the universe, when they are so very far away from the Nine Realms, that not even Loki knows the way back home. But first, they need to survive. (Tony/Loki)

double triple reccing Bend Around the Wind like READ IT. It's amazing.

Unfortunately I can't locate any good Howard fics, but I'll keep an eye out.

Twice Told Tale by Aresteya http://archiveofourown.org/works/411599?view_adult=true

When Steve wakes up, it seems like he recognizes Tony, but they quickly decide it's only the resemblence to Howard. Then, after Tony picks up an artifact he shouldn't have, he realizes why Steve was so disappointed.

(Tony goes back in time and meets up with Howard during the war.) (steve/tony)

Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but this one has Howard time-travelling to the present and working some things out with Tony. It's Tony/Steve.
Twice Upon a Time, by TsaritsaElena (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1028834/chapters/2048751).
Here's the author's summary: Tony Stark has never had an easy relationship with his father, but when Howard Stark circa 1983 time travels to the future in a freak accident, things get even more complicated, especially since Tony is dating his dad’s idol, Captain America, and Howard doesn’t know. As they work toward a solution that will restore Howard to his own timeline, will Tony get a second chance at a father-son relationship with his dad, or is he in for more of the same unforgiving treatment from Howard? Time travel, Avengers missions, and a secret project of Howard’s: things at Stark Tower are about to get a little crazy.
