Hi! So I'm looking for two separate fics:

The first one I don't remember much but I know it involved Tony being experimented on by Howard as a kid, and that Howard had him killing people. There was something about Tony's eyes turning blue? Like when Howard gave a specific command, his eyes would turn blue and he would completely change. I don't think it was a mutant!Tony fic, but I can't really remember.

The other fic I have a much clearer memory of. It began with the Avengers all in debrief or something, and there were kids that had had something bad done to them. All of the Avengers were super sympathetic, but Tony had just scoffed and dismissed it. I think Natasha said something to him then? Anyways, he left the room and either Coulson or Fury came in and they were all "I probably shouldn't show/tell you this but..." and then they either told the Avengers or showed them a video of Tony being experimented on by Howard.

The second is definitely a oneshot, and definitely less than 5k words. I think the first is chaptered? I'm pretty sure it's longer. And I'm fairly confident that they're two different fics, but you can never be sure...

Edit: Hey guys! The response to this search has been magnificent! I've been utterly shocked, to be honest. Anyways, for anyone new: the second fic has been found.

As for the first fic, talking to everyone in the comments has made me remember a couple more things about it: Firstly, I'm like 99% sure that it wasn't a mutant!Tony fic. Secondly, I remember very vividly a specific scene in which Tony is commanded by Howard to pick up a gun and shoot someone - think MKUltra, or what that was trying to do. It was like TOny had been brainwashed, but it was only when Howard said something (And it wasn't HYDRA!Tony either, because Howard was definitely there. The part where Howard commands Tony to shoot someone is also, I'm fairly certain, part of a flashback. Do with this information what you will; hopefully it triggers somebody's memory.

I searched for it in multiple ways and went through my bookmarks but couldnt find it :( either its been deleted or its not called that(/not anymore), even if I do distinctly remember reading a fic with that title. It might be on wayback machine but I dont know how to search for things on that unfortuantely.

If it is that fic, Im almost 100% that the kids had been triggered/mind controlled by a mutant and their powers had abruptly manifested or something. The Avengers had been concerned for their mental health, but Tony insists theyll be fine. Coulson shows the team videos of Howard having Tony undergo torture resistance training (the example was the code for his safe and the pin was Steves birthday) after Tony leaves the room. Is that ringing any bells?

Sorry i couldnt be of more help :(

I seem to recall both of them, but I can't find them. If you remember anything else, maybe a few more details would help?

Okay so I looked around in my tabs (I have a lot) and I might have found the first one tho I’m not sure. But anyhow I think it’s a fic that seems a lot like it
The secrets we hide

https://m.fanfiction.net/s/8735886/1/The-Secrets-We-Hide


Question: is there no way we can read fic number 2? Cuz I would like to too

Pretty sure I read at least one fic where young Tony had eyes that glowed blue when he was hurt and it healed him, and I think Jarvis tried to help him hide the ability, but Howard found out, and experimented on him. I don't remember Howard using Tony to kill anyone, though, so that may not be the fic you're looking for.

I can't find that one, either! EEE!

Was that Blue as True Can Be or something of the like? http://archiveofourown.org/works/648087 it seems to be down because its a mystery work? I think i have a copy of it as a PDF if you want me to email it to you or something.

Thank you! With the partial title and the AO3 URL I found it's
Blue As True As Blue Can Be by aaralyn and with the later comment by someone else about the Wayback machine I found the fic at Wayback.

https://web.archive.org/web/20141011092414/http://archiveofourown.org:80/works/648087?view_full_work=true

Something is wonky with the AO3 version- if it is a mystery work, there should be a link to the collection/challenge, but the 'click here' does nothing. I suspect either a coding error hiding the story (possibly the new Spam Hiding filter?) or the story's been deleted and the wrong 'you can't find this' page is coming up.

I looked up the author & the story was posted in 2015, so it doesn't seem likely it's part of a challenge that will be revealed soon.

Well i cant see the fic on their page so it looks like it got deleted :( I loved that fic. I have PDF copy of it. I just checked and its completed (19/19 chapters) and the wayback looks like it only has 18 chapters? If youd like a copy id be happy to give it to you. Im glad it was the right fic though :)

I have it now- I copied it from the Wayback version. :^)

I'm now attempting *once more* to find the first fic. I'm trying the 'Howard Stark's A+ Parenting' tag, as 'Assassin Tony' didn't find it. ;^)

Hope it's on AO3, because I don't FF.net & wouldn't have any idea how to search there.

Yeah, its hard to find stuff on Ffn.net due to thr limited tag options, which sucks, because it makrs it harder on readers to find the type of fics thry want to read and limits the views the writer gets. Ive had a look for the first one as well, but i dont think ive read it so i havent really had any luck :/
