Looking for Hurt!Tony, Alive!Howard or Step-Parent-to-Tony!Steve

[deanthesword.livejournal.com]

Okay, so I have recently started reading Avengers-fanfiction, and I find that I really, really like it. I mostly prefer fics with slash-pairings, but gen is good too.

I really hope you can help me, because this has been bugging me. Because I can barely find any of these, and I really hope there's more.

1. I read a fic where Steve was one of the soldiers with Tony in the humvee, and he goes temporarily deaf. So I was wondering if there are any fics where Tony becomes permanently/temporarily deaf, blind or mute either while in Afghanistan or during the Avengers? Or comes back from Afghanistan permanently injured (that is not the arc reactor, but he has that too), maybe he had to amputate an arm? Maybe even no one knows of this injury?

2. Any fics that closely follow the original timeline (MCU), but Howard Stark isn’t dead? Or he is brought forward in time? And then he is either a really good father, a bad father or a mix between them.

3. I also read a Howard/Steve-series, The Joys of Step-Parenting, where Steve becomes Tony’s Step-Father, so I was wondering if there are any other fics like that because I literally fell in love. Steve as Tony's step-father. I really liked that idea.

4. (added this as I noticed I had managed to hit a wrong tag.. hidden identity) I have read a lot of these, where iron man's identity is hidden. This got me thinking. Are there any fics where everyone wears masks to hide their identity, so that even the Avengers don't know who they are actually fighting with?

I would be really happy for any fic-recs received. They don't have to be spot on, but similar is good. I'll accept any pairings, even if I am more inclined to read slash-pairings, I can even read fics with no pairings or with het-pairings. I just really want to read more fics like this if it was possible. The length of the fics don't really matter, although I love longfics, I can read shortfics too. Just not any crack, please.

Thank you so much in advance!

1. In a Different Light (http://archiveofourown.org/works/542966) by marinarusalka
Summary: After an unexpected attack, Tony has trouble dealing with his injuries and Steve has trouble dealing with Tony.
[Temporary blindness]

And I'll Be Your Man (http://archiveofourown.org/works/3330611) by AvocadoLove [WIP]
Summary: Tony escaped Afghanistan with a bad knee and a heart too damaged to hold up to strain. But he's been given a second chance, and isn't going to waste it. If he can't pilot Iron Man, he'll find someone who will.
(Based on the Kink_Meme prompt: Iron Man and Tony Stark are not pretending to be different people, they actually are different people. Iron Man is actually modern born Skinny!Steve.)

Who Has Known Heights (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1935504) by MountainRose, szzzt
Summary: Before his injury, Tony had been a fast, intuitive flier: agile in the air, as those of his wingshape usually were, able to tumble and swoop and then trade back the speed for lift, and always get the best of the bargain.
That was how he referred to it; not 'abduction' or 'captivity' or 'maiming' but injury, the most neutral word possible. Though Steve had never, not once heard him call it an accident.
[Wing!AU]

Half the Man I Used To Be But Twice the Man I Was (http://archiveofourown.org/works/936852) by pengke [WIP]
Summary: What if Tony Stark suffered more than just shrapnel injuries in Afghanistan? What if he came home less than whole? A series of open-ended, non-linear ficlets focusing on the butterfly effect of Stark's disability.
“Iron Man is twice the man you are, Stark.”
“Yeah, well, these days everyone is.”

3. Invictus (http://archiveofourown.org/works/373387) by CrunchySalad
Summary: This fic takes elements from both the 616 comics and the movies, but it's very much an AU of its own devices. The facts are these:
Tony is fourteen when Stark Industries finds Captain America's frozen body. He's seventeen when he discovers the rather salacious reasons why his father was so intent on finding the man everyone presumed was dead. The problem that follows is that Tony might just understand his father's feelings all too well. Realizing that it's hopeless, he decides not to tell anyone or in any way pursue it. . . but then his second identity as Iron Man ruins the secret.

Thank you so much, I especially loved "Who has known heights"!

I highly recommend missbecky's Words series (http://archiveofourown.org/series/173960), which features Tony post-head injury living with aphasia.
