Tony keeps in touch with Harley post IM3.

Tony hacks into Harley's school to see what his grades are and it not clocking that he could literally just ask about it.

Tony keeping up with the Keener’s via twice monthly phone calls that turn into weekly ones that turn into Tony and Mrs. Keener texting back and forth.

Tony invites the kid to visit during a school break where they both just tinker with things. Harley is nervous at first until they meet up again and they start snarking back and forth.

At least one minor fire or explosion happens. If asked, neither know what started it. (Tony was wiring a gauntlet and Harley jokingly called him Dad when Tony told him he had to do his homework.)

The Keener’s visit for a week in the summertime, Tony has bought the lake house earlier to have a place away from people. Mrs. Keener and Pepper get along pretty well and both the kids like Pepper, so Tony counts it as a win.

Tony offers to pay for Harley and his sister's education and Mrs. Keener took him up on it because there was no way she’d be able to afford to send both her kids to college unless one of them got a free ride and Tony shows he cares by spending money and making sure those he cares about are safe and comfortable.

Harley spends the summer before his freshman year of high school with Tony. Tony finds a used classic car and they spend the summer rebuilding it and upgrading the engine to run clean.

Tony finds Spider-Man and finds out he’s a year older than Harley. Tony panics because here’s another kid genius but this one's in way over his head and will stay in over his head regardless of if he has support or proper equipment. Tony decides that no one else is gonna help this kid and give him as much protection as he could if he built him a suit, so he does just that.

Tony finds out about Midtown through Peter and approaches Mrs. Keener with an opportunity for Harley. (It's a genius school and it's practically a feeder to MIT, it'll be great.) Harley moves into the tower that Tony has kept here because he has reason to stay in the city.

Tony is a lot better at dealing with a kid because he's been hanging out with Harley so long, so he invites Peter over to meet Harley and have lab time. 

Harley just quips “so you’re my replacement?” to Peter and Peter immediately panicking and stuttering over himself while Harley howls with laughter.

Harley helps Peter learn to be more comfortable around Tony by roasting Tony for twenty straight minutes and after a month of lab days enlists Peter's help in making a program for FRIDAY to blast Barbie Girl when Tony has spent 24 hours or more in the lab.

Peter asks Harley to hang out with Ned outside of lab days. The three of them end up building a LEGO Deathstar and have drawn up the plans to be able to make it hover the next lab day.

Peter and Harley become thick as thieves and get to the point of that weird twin telepathy especially when it comes to being sassy.

One school break the three of them didn't go outside for the first four days, just spending most of the time in the lab so Pepper comes in and orders them to go outside for once my god Tony. Take them to your favorite burger place, I don't care, just be outside.

This leads to the three of them getting Pap'd. ("Yeah, I was out to lunch with my two interns, what's the matter with that?" is the quote above a picture of him laughing as the two boys pretend their straw wrappers are mustaches.)

This leads Tony to realize that he hadn't actually gotten the boys registered as his interns and remedies this immediately. (with backpay into a trust for each of them(Harley already gets an allowance, Tony has no idea how much is the proper amount to give to a 14 year old, and so usually gives him a few of whatever bills are in his wallet.))

Tony decides that now that they're officially employees of SI, that means they get to check out the place and so brings them down to R&D where everybody is immediately charmed by Peter and amused by Harley. The boys end up talking to the interns on the floor while Tony discusses the latest StarkPad.

One lab day both Harley and Peter look exhausted but Peter still showed up for lab time so they make their way there. Tony takes one look at them and asks FRIDAY to scan them, they both have fevers and he herds them into his living room.

Tony orders all the cold remedies he can think of to be brought up to the penthouse. Tony instructs the boys to pick a movie while he gathers blankets and dumps them on the boys.

Tony frantically texting Harley's mom and May asking them what he should do I've never taken care of a sick kid before, there are two of them, what do I do??

May asks Tony if Peter can stay the night because she's working a double that she can't get out of. He says yes if she can tell him what to do for sick kids because Harley's mom hasn't been able to respond.

Tony ends up joining the boys on the couch after forcing each of them to take cold medicine and thrusting a bowl of chicken noodle soup into each of their hands. Tony's in between the boys.

Over the course of WALL-E each boy begins to sag eventually trapping Tony on the couch. He's got one drooling in his shoulder and another drooling on his thigh. He asks FRIDAY to take several pictures before going back to his work on his StarkPad.

This starts Peter staying over whenever May is working night shifts. Then staying over every other weekend. Then Tony invites May and Peter to go on vacation to the lake house for a few days in the summer.

The Keener family is also present and May, Pepper and Mrs. Keener get on like a house on fire. Peter loves playing with Abbie with Harley. Three group chats are made that day. The adults in a co-parenting chat, the ladies in an exasperated with our geniuses chat and the kids in a sass and meme chat.

Just, Tony becomes a dad to two brilliant boys (and maybe one of the boy's baby sisters too depending how you want to write her).

Hi guys completely bonkers ass au where Harley tries to recreate some of Maya Hansen’s botany work from the extremis project and then. For whatever fucking reason (probably panic in an emergency) uses it on himself. Becoming a hero or something. U get the vision.

Being an avid disliker of the ship that’s basically the backbone of the attention for your favorite character

BRING BACK HARLEY KEENER IN SPIDER-MAN BRAND NEW DAY PLEASE MARVEL HE NEEDS TO BE LIKE A BROTHER TO PETER

reminder that Tony Stark struggled with mental health throughout the ENTIRE MCU

Pepper’s “You’re going to kill yourself, Tony. I’m not going to be apart of it.” in IM and his response of “I shouldn’t be alive unless it was for a reason.”

the entirety of IM2 is him being passively suicidal. He may not be trying to kill himself, but he’s not doing anything to prevent it and being overly reckless

In IM3 we see him struggle with PTSD and how it’s changed him and the relationships around him.

And that’s just the IM trilogy. Theres SO MUCH MORE I could talk about if we were to go into his past and the avengers movies

#I wish Marvel didn't remove this scene #a lot of haters said Tony isn't human #that he doesn't care about anything #before this scene #Tony removed his arc reactor without hesitation to save someone he doesn't even know #be reminded that once he removed his arc reactor #he only has minutes #yet he didn't hesitate #this wasn't for show #there wasn't reporters around #he did it because he's a hero

my thoughts on IronHeart? Well. I love her. I’m excited to watch her show. She seems an interesting character. But there will always be a part of me that mourns the idea of Harley Keener, in the Iron Man suit, teaming up with Spider-Man and continuing on Tony’s Legacy with a potato gun mounted on his wall and a pink watch forever on his wrist

Hey, do y'all want a Harley-flavoured irondad snippet from a fic I'm working on?

But Tony's responsible for a bunch of other stuff. Like listening to Harley bitch about how unintelligent his teachers and fellow students are --

("They say they're a school of math, science, and engineering, but Tony, some of these idiots wouldn't recognise a double-A battery if you put it in front of them, I swear.")

— and for remembering on occasion to ask whether Harley has any homework he's supposed to be doing --

("No, you can't rig repulsors to your sneakers; don't you have, I don't know, calculus homework or something you should be doing right now?"

"Please, I could teach that class myself; the syllabus is a joke.")

— and for the things that Tony forgets or whatever, they have JARVIS to fill in the blanks --

("What the hell, J, why'd you kill the lights."

"That would be Protocol Night Light, sir."

"Huh. Already?"

"JARVIS, I'm nearly done with this segment — gimme the lights back for like, twenty minutes. An hour, tops."

"Apologies, Master Harley. It is twelve-oh-one am, and you have a chemistry practical in eight-point-fifteen hours. I strongly recommend you attempt to use at least seven of those hours for sleeping."

"But J--"

"You heard the man, kid — git gone. The sooner you're in bed, the sooner he'll give me the lights back."

"Sir, if I may be so bold as to recommend that you, too, pursue some sleep—"

"You may absolutely not be so bold. Harley, shoo. Bedtime, chop chop.")

— so between the three of them, they're doing pretty alright.
