james rhodes/tony stark

• James Rhodes in 8C by what_alchemy [Tony has always known.]
• A Guide to Handling the Unhandleable Tony Stark by nightrider101 [The rest of the Avengers assume Tony is an unbound Omega by the way he acts. He's reckless and carefree and does what he wants. Imagine their surprise when they find out that Rhodey is Tony's Alpha. They're all confused at the way Rhodey lets Tony act and how they can be away from each other for long periods of time and Rhodey's just like 'He didn't want to give up his career and I didn't want to give up mine. And I gave up trying to tell Tony what to do years ago.']
• A Date on the Moon by what_alchemy [Just because someone's name is on your hand doesn't mean it's easy.]
• Fiercer and More Frail by icarus_chained [In a world where soulbonds exist and are sacrosanct, Tony and Rhodey do not have a bond. Then Afghanistan happens.]
• Twenty-Five Years by Not Applicable (not_applicable) [Nobody knows how long this has actually been going on. (Tony Stark has pretty much been in a monogamous relationship since he was 18 years old.)]
• Assorted Tony/Rhodey Drabbles by ifeelbetter
• Targeted Persuasion by galwednesday [Jim opened Tony's most formal closet and started pulling out tuxedos. "Put one of these on.” "Why?" "We're getting married." Tony froze. "No, we're not.""Oh yes we are." Jim tossed three tuxedos onto the bed. Three was a good number of options, enough for Tony to make a choice, but not so many that he'd get lost analyzing the ramifications of navy pinstripes vs. charcoal paisley. Tony did best with clear, specific expectations rather than an unlimited universe of possibilities that he would inevitably filter through his neuroses and obsess over, and Jim was really kicking himself for not considering that, oh, ten years ago when they’d first started this, but there was no point in beating himself up about it now when he could put that energy towards solving the problem instead. "You brought this on yourself, Tones. Pick a damn tux."]
