fillers or aus i would love to play running list; if you're interested in any of this, throw up a starter and i am there
steve + peggy
Peggy and Steve's reunion when he returns to the past.
That dance scene. /sobs
Anything about their life afterward.
steve + tony
Conversations about Peggy or Howard, or anything else they'd talk about during their 2-man mission to the past
First time Steve and Tony interact after Tony calls Steve out on how failing together sucks.
Did Steve and Tony ever talk during those 5 years? If so, what did that look like?
[au] Tony survives, but Steve doesn't know that when he goes back in time. So now Steve is really old and Tony is not.
[au] Tony survives and Steve comes back from returning the stones and they rebuild their relationship
steve + natasha
Awful life at Avengers compound before Ant-Man, basically lots of hurt/comfort with each other
[au] When Steve tells Natasha that maybe they should both move on, he asks her out on a date — it becomes a very sad attempt at moving on, but it's also a sad kind of solace.
steve + bucky
Honestly, they barely got any time back together. Steve and Buck MUST have talked before Steve just decided to go back in the past. Possible convo where he admits he's not coming back, and asking Bucky if he wants to return back to their time with him?
steve + anyone
So ... you can so Mjolnir now?
Conversations with various characters when he returns the stones to their rightful place in the past
Someone insisting on going back in time with Steve, and they return all the stones together and this person convinces Steve to come back (or, is convinced that he really doesn't want to)
shuri + anyone
Rebuilding the world from Wakanda
Meeting the other avengers
One-uping our science bros during reconstruction :D
tony stark (AI) + morgan/anyone
I imagine this will be mostly sass.
And with everyone who is not Morgan, this will basically be him joking about how he's going to live forever.
“Oh my god.” Peter whines in the back of his throat and slumps against the closet door. What even was happening right now? Other than him trying not to cry for like the third time that week. Peter swallows hard and lets his eyes slide shut and listens.
“Where’s KAREN?”
I am here, Peter.
“Then-“ he takes a sharp gulp of air. “Mr. Stark, what-?”
“No, it’s not selfish it’s-“ A lot to process right now because that means somewhere in the five years he was gone...
Tears burn at the corner of his eyes and he draws in a shaky breath. “It’s great.” His voice cracks at the end and he drags his knees up to his chest and buried his face in them.
He never got to say goodbye. It had been 30 seconds from Titan to the biggest battle of his life and he still wakes up screaming in the middle of the night, body crumbling into ash, Tony falling to the ground white as death.
He doesn't even say why. He instead, he moves straight onto Peter's next question.
I'm not sure. Which, I guess means no. If she had, I'd be able to tell. But uh, it's gonna be a little harder for her. I didn't exactly sew it into her clothes. So to speak.
Peter snags the leg of his suit and tugs it off the hanger to the ground. It pools at his feet and for a second he just stares at it. It wasn’t the same one he’d gone into space with. The material felt softer to the touch, sturdier, not quite the iron spider, but not his everyday suit either. He strips off his undershirt and stands, pulling the suit on and fastening the mask.
It’s a little like coming home.
But home never made him feel like he was going to fall over.
“Ok.” Morgan might not understand. Peter can kind of remember being five. Playgrounds and kindergarten and his mom and dad, but if someone had given him an AI with the voice of his dad, he’s not sure he’d be able to separate what was real and what was only a memory. “Ms. Pot-Mrs. Stark knows about this, right?”
As soon as Peter puts everything on, the entire suit comes online and Tony now has access to the full controls. It's a good thing Karen still recognizes him as the boss.
The next time you wanna go for a spin around the block, try this one for size. And oh- since, well, I was thinking about you and Morgan and maybe not being around, I made sure this one could grow too. With you. Had to trade some features in, but I'm pretty sure that's worth it.
As Tony rolls through the controls, however, he finally turns on the one he was looking for. Heat.
And yeah. Pepper knows. She'll let Morgan know when she thinks she's ready. Mrs. Stark should be able to make all the parenting decisions from here on out, don't you think?
“Dude...” Peter watches as numbers and symbols flicker and fade on the HUD screen, the very lines on his suit shifting and turning as it takes him through the new features.
The heat kicking on startles him into silence, painful stillness as he remembers the first time that happened and he tamps down the surge of emotion that follows.
“Thanks,” he croaks out. “She can, yeah, she’s-She’s amazing.”
Hey kid? A beat. I just want you know. I can't actually cry, since, well, I'm not him. But if I was? I'm willing to bet that he'd be happy to hear your voice too.
As for the heat, Tony doesn't turn it up too much, just enough for it to be cozy inside.
This is about as close I can get to giving you a hug without defibrillating you.
It feels like a hug, warm and gentle and so many unspoken words that it has Peter laughing wetly and wrapping his arms around his stomach. If he had known it would have been the only chance he'd get...
He would have hugged the man so much tighter.
"I can't believe he programed his allergy to emotions into you. That's so typical."
Peter tugs his mask up to his nose and swipes at it angrily.
I suppose I could try to leak some coolant into your suit. But I don't think you'll enjoy that very much.
[ He's trying, even if his attempts at humor aren't that good. ]
So. You want me to stick around? After this initial sequence, you are allowed to shut me down. Karen has the controls. In case, you know, you want space, or want to move on. I won't be offended.
But if you keep me around, I'll absorb the rest of the data he's left me. I imagine after that, I'll stop referring to him as a different person.
"Gross." Peter grimaces and is suddenly fiercely glad he's not actually wearing the whole suit, because AI or not, Peter wouldn't put it past Tony Stark to say that and then do it anyway just to prove he could. He almost wishes the AI would, because laughing somehow makes everything hurt worse.
"Can-Can I think about it?" Because if he was pressed to make that choice right then and there, he knows what he'd do, and he knows what May would say, or-
Or what Mrs. Stark might think. Peter can't think of anything worse than the idea of seeing pity in that woman's eyes.
Honestly, other than Morgan, TONI thinks BARF is one of his best creations. How else would you describe needing to re-live and re-visit your childhood trauma?
I don't see why it can't stand for both.
That tilt in his voice — so full himself — it sounds just like Tony.
Peter snorts and reaches for his phone. He flips it around in his hands a few times and then swipes it on. The date still leaves him shaking. The faster he can swipe it away the less he has to think about it.
Peter ducks his head between his knees and slides his hands up the back of his mask. He never said anything. He should have. It's like Ben all over again. He knows he's close to losing it a second time and it's only the creeping anxiety over how TONI might answer that's keeping his body still and waiting.

no subject
The tone of his voice changes then.
I'd been tinkering around, trying to make something for Morgan when I discovered ... well, this.
JARVIS. KAREN. FRIDAY.
If there was any chance that I'd be going on a one-way trip, then, I wanted her to still have a piece of me left.
A pause.
Is that selfish? Maybe, but I wanted you to have a piece of me too. I'm sorry I never told you about this — before we uh. Well, you know.

Take all the time you need.
Until then, I'll be here. But the next time we talk, you should probably have your decision ready.

There's got to be some kind of line, right?

Tony.

Peter huffs a snotty, wet laugh. Even dead he can’t let it go, can he?
“What’s it stand for?”
Because Peter won’t give in that easy.
retconning that last letter
TONI. The Transferral Optogenetics Neurogenesis Initiative.
I thought about naming it 'Dollhouse' but I didn't think enough people would get the reference.
no subject
It's still better than BARF. He's never going to let TONI forget that his creator also created a program called BARF to deal with his emotions.
Though who is he kidding when his own emotions right now make him feel sick to his stomach.
"You sure it doesn't stand for 'Tony's Old Narcissism Issues'?

I don't see why it can't stand for both.

To everyone.
