Fics where Tony mistakes why another Avenger is being affectionate

[ananova55.livejournal.com]

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me out with some fic recs. One of my favorite fics is Some Things Shouldn't Be a Chore by scifigrl47
The Avengers have a chore chart and as a joke "Hugging Tony" is made one of the chores and claimed by Steve with the others all calling out reminders for Steve to hug him especially after Tony starts getting difficult or grumpy. After a while of this Tony blurts out something to the effect of how of course showing him any affection is something that has to be scheduled, he's used to that from his parents. Then it's up to Steve and the others to reassure him.

Now what I would like to know if there are any similar fics out there. Or at least fics where Tony doesn't understand why the Avengers, all or one in particular, are treating him this way and assumes that it is there way of trying to keep him in line/playing nice/be a team player. Basically Insecure!Tony doubting his place with the team.

Can be gen or pairing. If there is a pairing I prefer Tony/Steve or Tony/Bucky but will read almost any other pairing except for those including Loki. Thanks for any help.

I'm going through my bookmarks as I am writing this so I'm not sure how many I have... but here are a few.

1) Hold The Things You Wanna Say by SailorChibi
http://archiveofourown.org/works/3782125

Tony is still a consultant, and between SI, the team and SHIELD he's overworked and exhausted. That's okay.
He and Steve have been having sex for weeks but that's all it is, just sex, and Tony wants more but he'll never get it and that's okay. Really.
What's not okay is the fact that Howard Stark has somehow appeared in the future and is the same as always.
This is definitely going to fuck up his schedule.

2) Togetherness Issues (And Other Superhero Problems) Series
http://archiveofourown.org/series/68439
This series is wonderful and full of the Tony doubting himself and the team being oblivious, until they aren't. Then they try to prove to him that they like him and want him.

3) The Group Hug Project by studentxdreams1
http://archiveofourown.org/works/495371
Tony has never had anyone to hug him before. He doesn't quite know how. Now that he has a family, this is something that needs to change.

4)Life to a Soul by SomeTorist

Not quite what you're looking for, I think, but it has Tony doubting himself and his friendship with Steve.

Few people ever see inside Tony Stark; fewer can stomach what they find; next to no one claims to still like him afterwards. So Tony hides, closing all the doors and battening down the hatches, using charm and confidence as armor when he's not in the suit.
To Tony's horror, Steve somehow manages to see inside him anyway.

5)I Don't Want the World to See Me by AngeNoir

Tony has a secret, one that is harder and harder to keep from observant teammates. (Tony is blind and no one knows. Tony is afraid that if the team finds out they will kick him off the team)
