Bruce And Tony (Science Boyfriends) Masterlist 2
part one
Bruising (ao3) - Sonora
M, 5k
Summary: Bruce has no idea why Tony's got so much faith in him; nobody's trusted him like that since the accident. But the night after the battle against Chitauri, Tony finally puts a few things into perspective for Bruce.
By Certain Definitions of Normal (ao3) - rainfall
T, 2k
Summary: Just a few Avengers, doing what they do best. And the Hulk, who needs rather gentler handling.
Why is Tony so good at this, when he's so lousy with everything else remotely people-skills related?
Coded Messages For You (ao3) - Driftingby21
G, 1k
Summary: Bruce leaves one day, disappears, goes back to his third world slums to play unassuming doctor because it's all getting too much for him.
Sometimes he'll catch snippets of Avengers/Stark press conferences and he notices Tony, drumming his fingers on the podium. Always the same pattern
Come home, Bruce
Five Times Bruce Was Surprised by his Husband (and Five Times Tony was Surprised by Bruce) (ao3) - storiesfortravellers
M, 3k
Summary: Tony is annoyed because he thinks Bruce is going to be quiet and boring and is not going to let him do any of his awesome explosions. Besides, he doesn't think anyone's really worth more than a one-night-stand anyway; he's never been faithful to anything that wasn't run on arc-reactors.
Bruce is more terrified than annoyed. The only possibilities he can think of are bad (Tony will keep dragging him to society functions only to cast him aside and go off with pretty girls) or worse (Tony will experiment on him and it will be as bad as the Army; after all Tony's not been known for caring about collateral damage).
Then, when they actually get together, sparks fly. It turns out Bruce is even more playful than Tony is, and Tony has more heart than Bruce could ever imagine. Make it epic and sickeningly sweet."
Good Things Come to Those Who Look (ao3) - notbeloved07
T, 4k
Summary: Based on a prompt in the avengerkink meme titled "rom-com pining":
Back when Tony was at MIT and Bruce at Harvard, at some point they met--science convention, bar night, what have you--and had an instant connection. Bruce let it go, in part because he was focused on Betty, but Tony didn't have a whole lot of moments where he'd felt actual genuine connections and he held on to that encounter.
Now, after Afghanistan, Tony realises just how important those connections are and he tries to find Bruce. When he stumbles on to him in Shield's files, he talks Fury into putting Hulk on the Avengers roster, brings him in, and desperately tries to balance world-saving with hardcore flirting and coming up with ways to get Bruce to stay.
Hit The Bottom (ao3) - The_Lady_smaell
T, 11k
Summary: Tony is used to being able to get out of situations because he is 'Tony Stark: Billionaire,Genius, Playboy, Philanthropist.' But happens when all that is stripped from him and he truly 'Hit's the bottom? Will anyone be able to see beneath the mask before it's too late or will Tony succumb? And what the hell has Bruce been hiding from him? *See inside for warnings. Eventual SciBF's*
Hulk Smash: Or How Tony Stark Became A Damsel In Distress (But Not Really) (ao3) - StarryFIF2
T, 2k
Summary: In Tony's defense, he has noticed that the Hulk seems a little...clingy. He's been standing in front of Iron Man a lot during battles and roaring. It makes battles a little boring, and Tony's a little put off until he remembers, 'Hello, Iron Man,' and he flies off to go kick some butt of his own.
“Have you not noticed, Tony Stark, that the Hulk seems overly preoccupied with your safety?” Thor asks.
i'm viewing the cosmos from our street (ao3) - weatheredlaw
E, 2k
Summary: Bruce slides off the barstool and Tony wishes he could say he stumbles, but no such luck. "I'm going to bed." He sniffs loudly, clears his throat. "You coming with me?"
Metal Heart (ao3) - summoner_yuna_of_besaid
T, 174k
Summary: They've saved the world, but now comes the hard part; surviving each other. Steve has apologies to make, Bruce has some soul searching to do, and Tony admits, at least to himself, that he is lonely. But they'd better get their act together soon, because a new enemy is declaring war on mankind... an enemy that Tony Stark is dangerously vulnerable to...
our own share of miseries (ao3) - wave_of_sorrow
E, 2k
Summary: In which Tony likes to share his food with Bruce, communication isn't really anybody's strong suit, and then there's sex.
Professionalism (ao3) - ifitwasribald
E, 2k
Summary: For Prompt: "Bruce always refused payment for his skills as a doctor while on the run. He'd be able to get the odd job or two, but that rarely covered the expense of food and shelter, let alone medicine and supplies. Blowjobs pay the bills pretty well, though.
Somehow, Bruce lets this slip at during an Avengers debriefing and, while everyone else has the sense and decency not to pry, Tony will not fucking drop it."
samskeyti (ao3) - hartbeat
G, 2k
Summary: Bruce and Tony had no idea how much meeting each other's daemons would change them.
Sober or Four Times Tony Failed to Get Bruce to Drink and the One Time Bruce Actually Did (ao3) - casian
T, 3k
Summary: When Tony Stark set his mind to something, there wasn't much that could stand in his way, but Bruce Banner didn't budge when it came to drinking. The topic wasn't even up for discussion.
The Spaces between Staying and Walking Away (ao3) - Ophiuchus_Trails
G, 3k
Summary: The times Bruce tries to leave, and the ways that Tony manages to get him to stay.
True Romance (ao3) - elfin
T, 3k
Summary: After the battle, Bruce leaves because Tony can't think of a way to make him stay. But life likes its happy ever afters....
When Eyes Meet Eyes (ao3) - luxshine
E, 50k
Summary: In a world where everyone has a soulmate, and finding them is as easy as following your heart, Tony Stark is convinced that he needs no one at his side. Bruce Banner, on the other hand, is convinced he doesn't deserve anyone.
Fate, however, has other ideas.
Why Tony Stark hates twitter (ao3) - Signe_chan
G, 5k
Summary: Written for the kink meme prompt - Bruce/Tony, they get married, then fall in love.
Bruce and Tony get married in Vegas.
Worse Without (ao3) - mercaque
T, 4k
Summary: Too familiar with loss, Tony can't resist an invincible creature like Bruce. But even Bruce can be hurt.

It’s been months since everything that’s happened with—of everything that went down in Siberia and it really fucking sucks how he still isn’t entirely used to the new status quo. He can easily think of a couple of people who’d laugh at him now if they knew how he felt. Pepper, perhaps, if they could ever get back to talking on a level that wasn’t just about business, or maybe Rhodey when he could have the courage to look at his best friend for more than a couple of minutes before needing to turn away and not remember that horrible, devastating drop to the ground from all the way up in the sky—
He wonders if that’s the reason why Vision doesn’t hang around the place as much as he used to anymore (if he even does now, these days), not since the Accords were officially established. He still keeps his transponder on 24/7 so it's not like Tony can say anything about it, but the signal from it is pretty much the only way that Tony knows him to be around and doing… whatever it is a former AI now turned vibranium construct does.
It’s funny, really; how many times had he thought of bringing JARVIS to life in the past and thought of all the great things that they could do together? The AI had always been something that Tony had been proud of, a companion of his own making who would always be around when he needed a voice and would never fail him. Part of him had always imagined that giving JARVIS a body of his own would be more of that but also better, and now that it's real…
It’s funny, how much it hurts, sometimes, to look at Vision, especially when he says or does something that seems so much like JARVIS that it makes his chest ache with something that almost feels like loss. And if that isn’t enough, there’s also the other times where something about him screams Bruce instead, and that’s—
—that’s. Well. It sucks a lot more, that’s what.
writing chapter one now since I managed to get past the prologue, whohoo \o/
