So...without further ado... drumroll...

Counterpart by  sara_holmes (Part 1 of the Puzzle Pieces series)

Fandom: The Avengers

Pairing: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark

Words: 217,400

Status: Completed

Author's summary: coun•ter•part [koun-ter-pahrt] [noun] 1. a person or thing closely resembling another, especially in function. 2. a copy; duplicate. 3. one of two parts that fit, complete, or complement one another.

Just because Hydra used the DNA of a Captain America from another dimension to create a lab-grown, six-year-old super-soldier, it doesn't mean that said six-year old super-soldier is biologically Steve's, right?

(Where Steve wants to ban Clint from bringing things home from alternative dimensions, until he doesn't.)

Counterpart is the first in a series of fics, The Puzzle Pieces, written by sara_holmes and published on Ao3 (you can find it here).

In this universe Bucky is part of the Avengers and Clint's friend (they have a bromance and they are really adorable together!).

Also, Tony and Steve are together (sort of). They have sex, really good sex, but they haven't really talked about feelings or relationship things and they are still hiding from their friends.

The story begins with a distress call from dr. Reed Richards, who has received a request for help from the Captain America of an alternate universe.

In this new universe the Avengers are dead fighting Hydra, but that's not all.

When the Avengers travel to that universe, they find a little surprise: a six years old child with blond hair and blue eyes. He is a Steve Roger's clone made by Hydra and he has all the super soldier serum powers!

The Avengers rescue the boy and they take him to their universe.

Tony loves him at first sight and he seems to slide in the role of father without hesitation, on the contrary, Steve has issues... a lot of issues....

Prepare yourself  because, in this story, Tony is the talkative and responsabile one whereas Steve is the emotionally constipated one.

Little Steve, named Arto, is adorable, but he comes from a lab and he has been an experiment for all the six years of his life. So he's very clingy all the time and he has a bad temper.

A really bad temper, with these extreme tantrums and he has super strenght too so, when he is really angry, just Steve or Bucky can successfully restrain him, and Bucky is not on his friendly list...

Arto knows that Steve is his daddy, but he has to learn how to trust that his new family are not about to abandon him.

Steve knows that Arto is his son, but he's panicking and he doesn't know what to do...

Slowly the family comes together, with Steve and Tony as mommy and daddy and Clint as big brother!

But Hydra has a plan and Arto could be still in peril!

This story is a long travel between sweetness and bitterness and, believe me, it's worth it.

The dynamic between Arto, Steve and Tony is played to perfection, with a slow-building relationship between them that it's so heartbreaking.

Insecure!daddy!Steve is my new kink and daddy!Tony is simply adorable (but let's be true, I love Tony in any form, so...)

Another reason to read this story (if you need it) is the Bucky/Clint bromance!

I don't usually read fics about them, but here? They are so sweet! I loved it!
