Pre-Avengers Tony angst

[evila-elf.livejournal.com]

I was just watching Iron Man the other day and rediscovering my love for the film that kicked off the MCU.

I don't read fanfiction as much as I used to and, trying to get back into it, I have grown incredibly picky. I spent a half hour on AO3 last night and only found 1 fic that held my interest.

So, I am looking for angsty Tony fics that are in character. No woobie!Tony (though I know everyone reaches their breaking point lol). Gen/Slash/Non-con, anything goes. But I mainly want to see Tony being Tony :)

Also willing to take an Avengers fic if we stay with Tony most of the time.

Thanks!

Have you read this?

The Act of Creation Will Be Your Salvation by scifigrl47
http:// archiveofourown.org /works/401961/ chapters/662516

Summary: When Tony Stark was seventeen years old, he built his first AI. On that day, he ceased to be his father's creation, and became a creating force in his own right.

That one act likely saved his life, and not always in the most obvious ways.

I think all of her work is really great and I rec it as often as I can. Hope you enjoy!

Okay there was this one Loki fanfic I read, but I forgot what it was called and can't find it. It was post-Avengers, and Loki was locked up in Asgard, but SHIELD or the Avengers needed him for info or something, so they had him transferred to a custom built cage. But then he escaped using his Jotun ice powers and ran off, so they tried to find him. And I think he gave a hint to Thor as to where he was so they could fight. And that's all I remember.

If anyone knows the name of the fic and the author's name, can you rec it here?
