Tony Stark and Bruce Banner? :)

[character asks!]

[TRIGGER WARNING for mention of self-harm and discussion of a not very nice sexual situation. Please skip Bruce’s ‘impression now’ and the ‘idea for a story’ section under Tony’s name, respectively, if you’d rather avoid them.]

TONY STARK

First impression: VERY BEAUTIFUL, VERY HURT, DRIVES AUDIS,

Impression now: still very beautiful, now even more hurt, continues to drive Audis (and a bunch of other epic cars). Has a truly gorgeous mind. Trauma survivor not just from Afghanistan but from his entire life, is probably autistic, definitely has complex PTSD from Howard and Obie abusing, gaslighting and infantilizing him, canonically has an anxiety disorder, still never stops trying to learn how to handle emotions and be better, nor does he ever stop working to save the world. Constantly let down by everyone around him, constantly thinks he deserves it and they’ll treat him better if he does better. Constantly on an asymptotic path towards the axis of breakdown. Someone please just fucking hold him. Please.

Favourite moment: “And where will you be watching the world consume me from? Oh, that’s right, a prison cell. I’ll send you a bar of soap.”

Idea for a story: a brief list of my current Tony-centric plotbunnies:- Tony and Nat meet after Civil War and learn to Be People again and end up Being People together, as a couple, because fuck this dystopian world they deserve whatever little happiness they can scrape together, damnit.- (I love Tony/Pepper, but I’m also very aware of how they could have gone wrong, so this is one of the ways they could have gone wrong.) Tony safewords out while subbing for Pepper, and although she is a good Domme and stops the scene immediately, Tony sees the brief expression of disappointment she couldn’t hide, and is haunted by it for a long, long time.- Thor returns to Earth after Ragnarok and finds Tony a lonely, broken, sensorily-overloaded, hyperdriven mess. So he makes him hot chocolate and wraps him in a blanket, while lending him a shoulder and a willing ear.

Unpopular opinion: Tony is the only Avenger who’s pulling his weight in the attempt to save the world.

Favourite relationship: I love Tony/Pepper (the healthy version), (Br)OTP: Give Me Red (ie. Tony/Nat), Tony/Pepper/Nat, and I’d love to explore Tony/Thor.

Favourite headcanon: Tony’s safeword is ‘Galileo’. Also, he speaks Italian because Maria was Italian, you’re welcome.

BRUCE BANNER

First impression: A sweet bean, but not one to be underestimated. Faced down the Widow without flinching = holy shit.

Impression now: multiple trauma survivor, like Tony; has self-medicated and self-harmed, like Tony. Too damn used to being on the run. Quiet, anxious dork filled with a burning rage: ultra relatable. (The Hulk is also a quiet dork, by the way. I think that’s noteworthy.)

Favourite moment: “I know. I’ve tried.” // “NONE OF MY PHDS IS IN FLYING ALIEN SPACESHIPS!” (Look how far this boy has come; I’m so proud.)

Idea for a story: uhhhh making Bruce/Nat believable? Could be done, I’ve seen it done. ‘Sciencebros fixing each other when they’re hurt because they don’t trust anyone else to help’ is also something I need in my life.

Unpopular opinion: Hey Bruce, falling asleep on Tony’s cry for help was not cool and I need a Watsonian explanation stat.

Favourite relationship: doooo I ship Bruce with anyone? I don’t know (I haven’t seen The Incredible Hulk, probably should). I am curious and willing to read a pairing dynamic of him with more or less anyone, but I’m not extra enthusiastic about any particular ship with him.

Favourite headcanon: Bruce sleeps in five layers of clothing, curled up tight.

#ishipallthings #box chatter #meme #mcu #bruce banner #tony stark: iron cat #<3 #bonus headcanon for you: tony cannot speak in any language but italian during migraine auras #it happened once during a press conference and everyone was extremely confused #of course the press's explanation for everything is 'haha tony stark is drunk again'#but pepper rose up like an avenging fury and disabused them of that notion #with everything short of her actual deadly stiletto heel
