Iron Man/Fanfic Recs: Difference between revisions

 

''[http://www.butcheredart.net/Fiction/Kids.html The Kids Aren't All Right]'' by M

* ''Synopsis'': "It's been 'a hell of a year' since industrialist Tony Stark owned up to his alter ego in a move that stunned observers and longtime aides alike. With the US facing unprecedented homegrown suicide attacks, Iron Man's contribution to national security is more than ever under scrutiny. As she follows Stark during a year of crisis, exclusively for Vanity Fair, Christine Everhart explores the many contradictions of the man behind the mask, uncovers tales of personal loyalty, patriotism gone awry and corporate betrayal, and asks whether Iron Man is the embodiment of an outdated American fantasy -- a self-made, unilateral, technological solution to hopelessly complex problems -- and whether he can survive the violent encounter with reality."

* ''Comments'': A smart and insightful look into the reality of ''Iron Man''.

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4373547/1/Squirrelly_Business Squirrelly Business]'' by Lord Yellowtail

* ''Synopsis:'' Movie Iron Man meets the one and only [[Squirrel Girl]].

* ''Comments:'' A nice short story that explores what the Ultimate/Movie version of Marvel's indomitable Squirrel Girl might be like, and how she and Tony might meet.

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4473214/1/Hazard_Pay Hazard Pay]'' by Perri Smith

* ''Synopsis:'' Pepper is trapped when danger hits closer to home than anyone predicted.

* ''Comments:'' This is some of the best action writing I've read in a long while. Well-paced and exciting and always easy to follow, and everyone gets their turn to shine.

 

''[http://atrata.dreamwidth.org/91903.html Almost No One Makes It Out]'' by atra

* ''Synopsis:'' What would have happened if Tony hadn't been born filthy rich? A military AU.

* ''Comments:'' Solid fic. In a world where Tony was born in the gutter and not with a silver spoon in his mouth, [[Reality Ensues]] after his Afghanistan adventure when he doesn't have money and influence to protect himself. The altered character dynamics, especially between Rodney and Tony, are a big draw. The author's writing style sucks you into Tony's head.

 

* ''Synopsis'': A vital question is answered. Set after Iron Man 2.

* Essentially, [[What Happened to the Mouse?]] made into a cute, funny little oneshot that is sort of like shaved ice on a hot day.

* ''Synopsis'': Tony discovers the joys of yard sales and ended up setting off a huge chain of events.

* Comments: This is a very funny fic. The characters are spot on and have some weird things that are explainable. There is also a sentient car and kittens in it. There is a good dose of Pepperony in it too.

* ''Synopsis'': Basically, Tony and Pepper go to Target.

* Comments: It is hilarious when Tony discovered the wonders of Target after a slight malfunction in his thrusters. Pepper having to handle him. It does have some touching stuff at the end.

* ''Synopsis'': Identity is not a fixed point. Say Tony Stark is a woman does not like it when her name is spelled with a "i" or when she is called "Antonia" or anything but who she is. And has the same personality and everything. How does this make things look different?

* Comments: It's bits of vignette examining how a female Tony seems different in the role, and also memories of things like Tony and Rhodey in college, not a rewrite of the story. This ships Tony / [[Anything That Moves]] and is rated, hmm, let's go R. Tony's still Tony, with maybe less emphasis on alcohol and more on sex, though there's hinting that male Tony is also bi. There is a link in the first part to the second.

* Synopsis: Pepper has her very own action figure and Tony can't keep his hands off of it.

* Comments: It is a very cute story that shows how much Pepper wanted Tony but kept on denying it. The image of Tony with a Pepper action figure is just adorable and makes you want Mattel to make a Pepper action figure.

* Comments: This is like Iron Man 2 if it just focused on the palladium poisoning and the relationship between Pepper and Tony. It feels like the movie, it is suspenseful and dramatic but there are some moments of humor as well.
