you want a war? (you don't know what you're asking for)

by graveltotempo

“And now? Now you’ve all betrayed,”  Steve flinched at the choice of words, “Stark, and Potts and Rhodes are not going to sit and take it.” Natasha frowned at the phone. “What does this mean for us?” Fury laughed - an ugly laugh with no myrth in it. “It means that Potts or Rhodes are the ones who sent me this phone because they wanted me to contact you. They wanted me - and you - to know that they are with Stark, that they are the line of defence between him and us.” “It means that they just declared war. God have mercy on your souls.”

Were all such special

by petroltogo

Post CW: Reunited, if not reconciled the Avengers pick up where they left off. Well, not quite. It just takes certain people a while to realise how much things have changed in their absence. When Clint confronts Tony about his arrows, it's time for a reality check and a couple of harsh truths.

Atlas; Phoenix Reborn

by orphan_account

Eight years ago, Tony Stark lay dying on the Afghan sand, the shrapnel of his own bombs having pierced his very heart, betrayed by his beloved godfather and left to die. Now, he lay helpless in a Siberian bunker, weighed down by his own dead armor, utterly wrecked by the friend he'd so naively trusted. But despite the world’s best efforts to break him, he lives. He comes back with a vengeance, stronger than ever, refusing to be defeated. Ever the mechanic, he fixes things. He builds a brighter future, a safer planet, and a loving family from the ashes of what he has lost. … or, my self-indulgent long-ass fic filled with my trademark bitterness and bias that asks the question: what would happen leading up to and during IW if Tony completely turns his back on the Rogue Avengers post-Civil War?

facing the devil (and the deep, blue sea)

by petroltogo

[Alternate title: No obvious truth] Post-CACW: In an alternate universe where everyone has the name of their soulmate and the name of their greatest enemy written on their wrists, recently captured ex-Avenger Steve Rogers receives an unexpected visitor two days before the start of his trial. The trick is figuring out which name is tied to which fate. [The trick is realizing you’ll never know.]

the ghosts are fading

by petroltogo

"But in this world, the one she lives in, the one where Steve is too proud to accept help, and Stark is too loyal to abandon a fool’s mission, and Barnes is too real to be a ghost, there was never another way this was going to end."Civil War AU in which everyone has a fatal flaw and it changes nothing at all, except for how it changes everything. Or: That one time Wanda and Tony were honest with each other and it didn't fix anything.

when the world comes down (you can sit beside me)

by kameleon

Tommy is dying in a nation that never loved him, surrounded by rubble and ash as what is left of his family wreaks havoc, creating Doomsday in an effort to ‘send a message.’ He is left forgotten at the bottom of a crater, bleeding out with his best friend’s corpse in his arms. While he breathes his last breaths, he laments over what is lost.

Christmas Gloom Is

by Potrix

The decorations Steve had insisted on putting up twinkle and gleam mockingly, as if their sole purpose is to remind Tony that the ones he cares about aren’t here to enjoy the holidays with him. It’s funny, really, in a way that’s anything but; Tony had never been big on celebrating at all, not while his parents had still been around, and certainly not after, not until the others had started getting excited about the idea of spending Christmas together, as a team and family. And now none of them are around.
