Genius!Tony

[kira2127.livejournal.com]

Hey y'all. I am really looking for some good fics where you get to see Tony really being a genius. I would love it if those could also include the team being amazed by something Tony is doing or thinking or creating. Could be something like Tony being a polyglot and surprising Natasha by speaking Russian or something, or him solving complex problems in a few seconds, or building something amazing, the team seeing him working in the lab for the first time etc. I remember a fic where Tony meets Charles from the X-Men for the first time and Charles is unable to read his mind because he is thinking about too many things at once and thinking so fast that that cannot get a grip on his thoughts. Anything like this I would really appreciate!
I'm not picky at all over pairings or other tags, so go wild. THANK YOU!!!!!

The first story that came to mind is one that I was just reading for the third time today and that has been recommended quite a few times on this site:

Number Cruncher (https://archiveofourown.org/works/452516) by cauldronofdoom
Summary:Everyone he's ever worked with agrees Tony Stark is impulsive and reckless. If that's the case, though, why is he still around?

Another one is:
Iron Business Man (https://archiveofourown.org/works/2848037) by silver_drip
Summary:Pepper is a great CEO, but sometimes she needs help from the man she learned it all from.

Agnizing (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8561114/1/Agnizing) by Oceanbreeze7 might fit your bill, but it's more dark than light hearted.
Summary:Challenge: "So…somebody read Tony's mind and wrote down what he was thinking of?" "God I hope not- I don't want to know what runs through his head." Avengers read the fanfic- Spectacular Ignorance.
Note: It's based on Spectacular Ignorance (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8161288/1/Spectacular-Ignorance) by darke wulf, but you don't have to read that first. It also has a sequel called Reference Pages (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8636951/1/Refrence-Pages)

Those are the ones I could think of off the top of my head, but I know there are many more that I just can't remember right now. Try looking through the BAMF!ony tag on AO3. If I can think of any more, I'll be sure to rec them.

I'd really appreciated a link to that X-men crossover if anybody knows what it is.

Thanks for the recs. The mind reading bit is from a scene in the first chapter here: http://archiveofourown.org/works/452604/chapters/776462 . It is a part of a series in which Tony is a mutant, and I would seriously recommend reading it all if you have the desire.
