Arc Reactor

[faerietayles.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know this request is more than cliche but I'm craving stories where something happens to Tony's reactor. Whether it is damaged/removed during torture/one of the Avengers threatening to remove it/Tony has to build and or replace it with a new one... etc. I don't care about the pairing.

Self recs are loved.

Thanks!

I have a few recs! Most of them are Tony/Steve though.

Wrist Deep (Neck Deep) In The Water (http://archiveofourown.org/works/421339) (Steve, Natasha, Bruce and Pepper watch the video feed from the scene of Iron Man where Obie yanks the arc reactor from Tony's chest)

tony being tortured via his arc reactor (http://avengerkink.livejournal.com/4305.html?thread=3745745&#t3745745)
Summary: : Avengers are captured, and Tony is tortured in front of them by villains taking his reactor out and not putting it back in until he’s almost dead, several times. Tony gets through it, all angry and defiant and not giving in, but the rest of Avengers (especially Natasha, who had access to his files) is terrified.

Summary: Steve and Tony have an argument, when Steve gets back, he finds Tony crawling along the floor in his lab.

Blow Out by xaritomene (http://archiveofourown.org/works/420089)
The Avengers are stuck in a cave, and Tony, despite being essentially incapacitated by the loss of his suit, has a working plan to deal with this shit. So what if his team thinks he’s only useful in the suit? And so what that they’re not in life-threatening danger, the kind that Loki strews around himself like confetti? Tony is going to get them out of there by hook or by crook, because goddammit he hates caves, and no one else is coming up with a better plan. They’re not in danger now, but time is running out. And if Tony has to damage himself to pull off his plan, well, them’s the breaks.

Tomorrow Belongs To Me by valtyr (http://archiveofourown.org/works/259417/chapters/405402) This is a long fic, but there's a scene in the last chapter (close to the end) where Tony's arc reactor is taken and he's barely alive.

Since you said any pairing, here are a couple of Tony/Loki fics. In both of them, Loki has a kink for the arc reactor.
Halo (http://archiveofourown.org/works/279661)
The timeline starts in a fall of glass. There’s a staggering loss of gravity as Tony stares up at the suddenly blue sky.

Off the Record (http://archiveofourown.org/works/315889)
It started with a message, a late-night visit, and a God of Mischief in Tony’s bed. A story of trust, trickery, unwilling aid and inevitable attraction.

and Bruce/Tony. There are probably more out there but I don't really read this pairing so...

yeah we’re locked up in ideas we like to label everything by yugimutos (http://archiveofourown.org/works/399553)
Look I know this is like, prize-winning science fair shit, and I’m sure you’re in fucking freak heaven or whatever, but I need you to focus on me for like, two seconds, and reach into the hole in my chest, and fix what’s broken.” And holy shit is that a metaphor. That is one goddamned beautiful metaphor.

All I could think of when I first saw this post was, oh hey, there's a girl/guy after my own heart! \o/ These are a bunch of my favorites, I hope some of them are new to you (ETA: forgot to say, these are all Steve/Tony or pre-slash):
