Duty of the Living by Jilly James is a Teen Wolf story with a slight Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski pairing. It's getting there, and it's important, but it's not the main focus of the story. The main focus is on Stiles and his awakening to his destiny.

Author's summary: Stiles leaves Beacon Hills after the events with the kanima. It was supposed to be for a summer, giving him time to get some perspective, but perspective means that Stiles isn’t interested in going back. Not until he’s forced to.

(I finally got off my Avengers kick and fell headfirst into Teen Wolf, which I've avoided for the past decade. I blame Jilly James.)

The (Not So) Great Pretender by RayShipouUchiha is a hilarious Avengers (WinterIron) fic that goes AU when no one believes Tony when he states that he's Iron Man at the end of the first Iron Man movie.

Author's Summary:

“What,” Tony says softly but with a great depth of feeling, “the actual fuck just happened?”

“I believe, Sir,” JARVIS pipes up from the phone in his pocket, an unnecessary amount of what sounds like glee in his voice, “that you’ve once again managed to maintain your closely guarded secret identity. Truly your subterfuge skills know no bounds."

“You’re an asshole J,” Tony mutters back as he reaches up to rub at his temple. He either has a headache coming on or a blood clot. At this point he’s honestly not sure which he’d prefer.

"I did learn from the best, Sir,” JARVIS tells him sunnily.

Between Heaven and Hell by Moonstalker24 picks up right after the fight in the bunker in Captain America: Civil War is a delight for those of us that are still feeling salty about that whole business. (The pairing is Tony/Pepper, but their relationship is not the main focus of the story.)

Author's summary:

There’s a sort of poetry to the pain that lances through him. A sort of slow burn that is usually associated with strong alcohol and certain types of recreational narcotics. It radiates out from his chest. Throbbing through him in pulses every time his lungs expand. He can feel the sharp spines of gold-titanium alloy digging into his flesh. The crackle-shift of broken ribs moving into places they shouldn’t be.

He's going to die this time. He can feel his extremities getting colder, heavier. Knows that the armor is only slowing the blood loss, not stopping it.

Tony Stark is left to die in a bunker in Siberia. His family doesn't like that at all. As they rally around him, so does the rest of the world, forcing the Rogue Avengers to face the consequences of their actions.

The War Is Far from Over Now by Dont_call_me_Carrie is an awesome AU that takes a a sharp turn right after Iron Man3, and the results are just glorious.

Author's summary: The world keeps pushing him, demanding, because what he did wasn't enough. Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, but that wasn't enough, wasn't ever enough. Tony Stark was tired. But he had a planet to protect, even if everyone laughed at him whenever the prospect of alien invasions was brought up. He could count on one hand how many people he could trust, which was disheartening but then, what else was new?

Or,

In which Tony does not, in fact, intend to take over the world.
...unfortunately, everyone else missed that particular memo.

[gradual divergence from canon, starting at the end of Iron Man 3. In which it's Tony's self-awareness, rather than his support system, that becomes a cryptid sometime during Phase II.]

Unleash Your Demons by Keira Marcos is an amazing Avengers story that goes AU after Infinity War (and it's a much better resolutions than Endgame... *shudder*).

Here is the author's summary: Tony Stark can't live with the damage Thanos has done.
Infinity Stones in hand, he makes a choice that will alter the fate of
the universe.

Frozen

Imperfect by Jilly James is a Sentinel fusion with NCIS and Criminal Minds (Tony DiNozzo/Derek Morgan). I will admit I still have bad feelings toward NCIS and the way TPTB handled Tony's relationship with the team, so this story was very cathartic. Here is the author's summary: After rescuing Ziva from Somalia, Tony comes online as a powerful guide. The Center says he has a perfect match, the ideal sentinel, waiting for him. But his sentinel isn’t interested. As Tony finds his way into a new future, he finds that something imperfect can be what he actually needs.

Illuminate Me by Half_SubmergedinPurgatory is yet another post-Civil War story that is most definitely Team Stark and ends in WinterIron. It came out before Infinity War, so goes AU after Civil War. The author's vision of how the battle against Thanos would go is well-though out and executed. This is also a story about recovery and healing. Here is the author's summary: Tony isn't a healthy man. He's fine with that, really. It makes
perfect sense. Unfortunately, he has a job to do that kind of has
his health as a major requirement. So he unmakes himself, remakes
the Accords, protects every single child super that enters his field
of view, and hopes ferociously that the Avengers never come back to
the US. He doesn't spend any time at all rebuilding Bucky Barnes'
life. Not a single second. Anything he does that contributes to him
is simply an accident.
