Ironman's Identity a Secret?

[ananova55.livejournal.com]

I've read some good fics where no-one knew Tony Stark was Ironman. Like Beneath the Armor and Secrets of a Successful Marriage and The Problem With Secret Identities and Truth Behind Masks . Any recommendations for more? Whether Tony is an Avenger or a 'villain' doesn't matter. It can be any verse, with pairings or without. Just looking for some really good hidden identity being discovered fics.

Also, I was wondering if someone could tell me how the Avengers found out Ironman's identity in the comics. I know it was originally a secret but I'm not a big comic reader and can't seem to find out how it was discovered. Did he tell them or was he accidentally revealed?

And if his soulmate is Iron Man, how can he be so attracted to Tony Stark? It should be impossible. Tony's problem is that he is Iron Man, his soulmate is a man whom he in no way deserves, and he is going to fight everything in his heart and do his best to make sure Steve never, ever finds out the whole truth.
