Smart!Tony like wooah

[the-7th-swan.livejournal.com]

Hi all,

While Tony is generally smart in fics, I find that it's often shrugged off or not given much attention. So that's what I'm looking for: fiction where it is brought home to the team JUST how brilliant Tony really is. Maybe they even find out he's been toning his intelligence down around them so that they see him as more approachable? Or because of his issues? Them being taken back or full-blown awed of his smarts would definitely be a plus.

I'll take any fix, any paring, any rating. Thank you!

Not exactly what you want, but theme of this series is Tony's genius.

Hm, may the fourth (http://archiveofourown.org/works/445156) might be a bit crackier than what you have in mind, but it does focus around one of Tony's brilliant, if crazy, inventions.
Also, definitely scifigrl47's Toasterverse (http://archiveofourown.org/series/18228) series. It's long and plotty, but features at it's heart a brilliant, resourceful Tony. And all his crazy inventions (and some of his not-so-crazy ones too).
Data is King (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1251166/chapters/2573830) is a cyberpunk AU that, again, is long and plotty and while it actually mostly features Steve as the main character, it also shows Tony's brilliance through Steve's eyes as he gets to know Tony. Especially in the climax... uh, yeah, nope not going to spoil anything. Just trust that Tony is really brilliant even if it feels like the story's mostly about Steve.
