Hidden Iron -- Faylen's fics
Basically identity porn. Works in which Tony hasn't been revealed as Iron man
Ngl kinda screwed myself with mixing Hidden Iron and Iron Identity, too lazy to fix it rn tho.
Soo time to start shoving fics that fit both in here. Not only Tony not revealed as Iron Man, but also all the other crap that goes under Iron Identity
This is what I wrote for Iron Identity
when Tony.. isn't who he shows. I.e has a different name/origins (for example when the original tony was killed yet the person instead of him is still our Tony, or he's a god or something else, past lives or human cycles or just disguise), different superheros (I've seen a couple where Tony isn't only Ironman, or he was someone else before, like I remember something about him and wings and bird superhero), Tony is kidnapped / believed to be dead yet he's not and he's something/someone else (mostly after brainwashing, so like iron soldier, mekanic, Phoenix), heck even one where his shifter form is hidden for example. Similarly stuff

The Best Kept Secret in this Corner of the Sky by IronStrangePerfectMatch (Catonmic92)Sorry off the bat I'm with Tony, even if things were different. Going to Tony to demand information of someone's secret identity? Doesn't matter in reality it IS Tony, but that's just asking for a betrayal. How about you go to that someone and get their permission for that knowledge?
I'm very glad it's acknowledged, as I know some authors write things where it seems like personal boundaries and uhh watcha call it self autonomy? Ugh can't remember the right phrase. Anyways when that doesn't matter, doesn't exist and we're just supposed to accept it like it's a normal thing or worse a good/cute thing? Which gives me the ick SO hard. So I'm very glad it's not the case hereStephen stop being a jerk for no reason
Hmm appreciate it, I do always prefer when the blame is on Rogers. If Tony had time he could have moved past it. As he did here with Barnes. Rogers on the other hand? Yeah fuck no, he should burn
Ffs fuck you Rogers you fucking bastard
I very much appreciate the Tony and Bucky friendship
Also while I'm not 100%, I reckon Bucky knows. It probably means Rogers knows too. I assume it came out in Siberia
I mean... I don't wanna dogpile on Stephen because it's kinda obviously Bucky knows while he doesn't, but like I honestly wouldn't have minded that much if this was a WinterIron fic. I've read and liked several WinterIron hidden Iron man fics and they're good. And Bucky is nicer here than Stephen, and I know benefit of the doubt but still
Lolol Friday and Jarvis are protective trolling cuties

Summary
Tony and Rhodey are soulmates. They're in love with each other.
You'd think, at some point, that they might tell each other that.

sweeter than honey (redux) by lovelyirony-
Pepper broke several laws because the company she was working for (Stane International) was technically breaking laws, but laws that do not apply to corporations because corporations do this thing called “funding campaigns” and also sometimes “doing favors.”She decided to do the same and suddenly she is a criminal. Not her fault she redistributed money back into the community, and now they can’t get any of it back.
It’s just how that worked out.
--
There’s Bruce Banner, who enjoys taking over corporations for fun, and this is his second one. His first was some sort of health insurance scam, and apparently that was just to finish up his thesis for his third doctorate.“He has seven degrees, he’s weird,” Tony says.
“Oh like you’re any better,” Bruce says with a snort. “You learned twelve languages for fun. Including French, which is useless.”
“French is not useless,” Tony says. “It got us free food in Canada.”
“We would’ve gotten it anyway if we’d done it my way.”
“Stealing?” Rhodey asks.
“Yes!”
Pepper laughs.
--
She waves as she leaves the office.What Tony misses:
Pepper pumps her fist as she leaves the office, nearly stumbles, and is quite glad that no security cameras were installed that day.
What Pepper misses:
Tony spins so hard in his office chair as a celebration that it topples over.
Yeah, they’re made for each other.

Summary
Pepper thinks Tony is God’s Given Idiot.
Arson probably would have been the better choice. It’s not like the building didn’t have insurance, and it’s not like the fire would have lasted for that long.
Instead, Tony has decided to make himself internationally known and request a meeting with the guy who could have ended his career, and still could if he talked to the right people.

Summary
On every single document, including the ones that show what actually happened to Howard and Maria Stark, Tony Stark is listed as dead among them.
He is not.
He makes new documents. Anthony Jarvis, from Boston. Airtight background. Likes puzzles. Scored damn high on the SAT, but not the perfect score.
(Killed him to answer some of those questions wrong, seriously.)
Tony Jarvis has a job to do. And he may just need some help if he wants to change the world on a Wednesday.

pulvis et umbra sumus (We Are Dust And Shadows) by lovelyirony-
“Who said I was going to take it over?”“Me,” Pepper says. “Also because I reviewed every single old document and the company was specified to go to next-of-kin. You are. And you’re not dead.”
“My death certificate is literally framed,” Tony says, pointing to his graduation photo that Rhodey took. He had swapped out his official diploma with it as a joke. No one had seen it. He thought it was hilarious.
--
“Can you take your shoes off?” says the woman in the middle. “Please. You’re getting germs on the couch.”He’s confused.
“Who am I killing?”
“No one, yet,” says the man on the left. “Do you know who you are?”
“Winter Soldier.”
“No, like a name? I’m assuming you’ve had a name at some point.”
“Someone has called me Mr. Freeze before.”
The man on the left snorts. Man on the right taps his arm lightly.
“Well, um, okay then. How do you feel about the name…aw shit. I can’t think of a name for you when your mask is on. Can you take the mask off?”
He takes it off. It’s nicer to breathe.
The man in the t-shirt pauses.
“Okay. So your name is Bucky Barnes. Do you know that name?”
Something clicked. But he doesn’t know what.
“Sounds…familiar.”
“Cool! So that’s your name now, do me a favor and don’t google it. I’m Tony, this is Rhodey, and this is Pepper. If you don’t take your shoes off, you’re going to be scared of her.”
Newly-named-Bucky highly doubts that he will be scared of Pepper because she is built like a twig and she is wearing high heels.
(He is wrong about ten minutes later when she forcibly throws a fork at him.)
“Why am I here?” he asks. “Should I be checking back in with Handler Pierce?”
“No,” comes the consensus from everyone else in the room.
“Technically, he thinks you went rogue and went back to Russia. He’s organizing a team to go get you. We hired an actor to play you. It’s been entertaining. He got some plums. Do you like plums?”
“Why is that relevant?”
“It’s vapid and not interesting at all, Tony loves questions like that,” Rhodey says. “Now come on. We need to get you actual shirts. Also some body wash.”
Bucky Barnes learns how to be a person. He stares at himself in the mirror for an hour and smiles slightly when Pepper calls him “vain” and pushes him aside to grab her hairbrush.
--
This all happens on a Wednesday, by the way. Pepper has it marked on the calendar and everything. Rhodey made his coffee.Bucky is busy slamming people into drywall and listening for any word from Rhodey, who is also slamming people into drywall.
“You know, you’d think we’d get something like a suit of armor for this,” Rhodey pants out, slamming another guy out of his way.
Bucky nods.
“Best I can offer is a grenade.”
“Where in the fuck did you get a grenade?!”
“Supply closet. Second floor. What, you didn’t check?”
“No sorry must’ve missed it–of course I didn’t fucking check the second floor closet!” Rhodey yells.
Bucky says he’s stressed. He should calm himself.
Rhodey chucks a particularly nasty Hydra agent out a window.
(Bucky thinks Rhodey is probably the coolest person he’ll ever meet.)
Tony is fashionably late to the take-down of the century. He’s already foiled a lot of plans, and taken a key-card for Project Insight to work.
He waltzes in and nearly gets hit by a mug.
“So, how’s the party going?” he yells over to Pepper. Pepper is still in her heels. She looks like a goddess still, as usual. It is a Wednesday, after all.
“As fine as it can be,” Pepper says. “We’ve met some resistance. With Pierce gone there’s little infrastructure. You got his plane delayed, correct?”
“Even better. Got it sent to London. Motherfucker is gonna be there for a while,” Tony says. “Also may or may not have said that he was a threat. SHIELD branch there will investigate, find out some questionable things in his file that he will swear up and down were never there.”
“Good,” Pepper says. She launches a stapler at someone’s head. “Do you think we’ll have time to pick up takeout for dinner?”
“Depends on whether or not Deputy Director Hill is Hydra.”
They see Maria Hill pass by in a blur, yelling as she jumps onto a man and sends him crashing down over a railing.
“Lovely, she isn’t!” Pepper cheers. “By the way, I was thinking about redoing our kitchen.”
“‘Our’ kitchen?” Tony says, ducking a bullet and drawing out his personal lipstick-laser, firing it with expert precision. “I told you the living situation was temporary.”
“Oh please, you have an extra room.”
