Tony Kidnapped and Confident Tony

[faerietayles.livejournal.com]

1. I've looked through the kidnapped tag on the comm but most of the stories that are rec'd are slash! So I'm here for gen and het recs where Tony is kidnapped. I love it when Tony frees himself, and where he needs to be rescued. No major character death (Tony or another Avenger), or non-con.

2. So I'm a complete fan of insecure Tony, and how he feels as if he doesn't belong on the team and then they prove that he is valuable. However... I'm craving stories (het and/or gen) where Tony is more confident. Where he knows that he is valued by the team. In essence, I'm looking for strong-willed Tony being awesome and a great friend to others.

Self Recs are more than welcome! <3

The Toaster universe on AO3 is pretty Gen if my memory serves.

I don't have anything for rec #1, but for #2:

igrockspock (http://archiveofourown.org/works?utf8=%E2%9C%93&commit=Sort+and+Filter&work_search%5Bsort_column%5D=revised_at&work_search%5Brelationship_ids%5D%5B%5D=32197&work_search%5Bother_tag_names%5D=&work_search%5Bquery%5D=&work_search%5Blanguage_id%5D=&work_search%5Bcomplete%5D=0&pseud_id=igrockspock&user_id=igrockspock) has a few Tony/Pepper stories that IMO fit this bill, though they're not, that I recall, Avengers team-y, if you will.

This one (http://archiveofourown.org/works/410895) is a nice, if very short, piece by ignipes focusing on Tony and Bruce (gen) in the context of the team as a whole. This kind of falls under the 'being a great friend' category.

And finally if you're okay with self-recs, I have one Tony-centric (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1159705), team-bonding piece which sort of fits what you've described.
