“The world is not your playground, Stark!” Fury yells at him one time, after he maybe brings down a building or two and Tony just laughs because, seriously, yes it is.
Avengers movieverse, Tony, sometimes he thinks the world has no idea how relieved it should be that he flipped a coin that day and tails told him not to be a villain

There's a lot of fic out there of Tony pretending to be a villain, but in this one he actually is one - with all the best intentions, of course. Despite or maybe because this being a dark!AU, this fic is hauntingly in-character, because yes, I could totally see the reasoning in Tony's decision. Also, superb Loki-characterisation and a dash of Tony/Loki.
There's also a fantastic podfic-version of this: [podfic] in another country (people die) by reena_jenkins

The World That Forgot Tony Stark by shinkonokokoro
There's a reason Tony hates magic. And it's a good one. He's never been so glad for the fanfare his name has caused. Because it means the world knows him. Unlike this one.
Tony wakes up in a universe where he has never existed. What sounds like your typical fanfic-plot is actually really exciting and well written, a bit dark and fucked-up in some parts, and also highly addictive. The ending felt a little rushed, imho, but I still loved the hell out of this fic.

Another Country by victoria_p (musesfool)
Natasha has reconciled herself to the past in ways he can't yet, in ways he might never be able to.
Natasha/Bucky fic with wonderful characterisation.

festina lente (hurry slowly) by silverfoxflower
If anyone asked Steve – and a few reporters may well have, Steve wouldn’t know since Peggy had kept him from answering anything else outside controlled press conferences and faux-casual interviews – what his relationship was with Captain America, Steve would have said something like, “We’ve reached an understanding,” or, “He’s a good guy to have in a fight,” but nowhere in that statement would be the mention of friend, or partner or ally.
A role reversal fic featuring Steve Rogers (a.k.a Iron Man) as a billionaire, genius engineer with a heart of gold and Tony Stark (a.k.a Captain America) as a playboy American Hero who spent most of his backpay on his flashy lifestyle.

When I saw this fic mind just went "yesssssssssss". It reads wonderful and I love the tiny, but important differences, like how Tony used his role as Captain America to impress women. (Of course, he would.) And, just yes to everything.
