As I re-post old fic, we've reached this one. If I had to list a top-10 of stories I'm most proud of having written, this would be on that list. Like my other fic, lightly edited.

This is not a complete AU, but definitely diverges from canon before the show even started.

Title: The Empty Quarter
Summary: On a mission to stop illegal arms shipments across the Arabian Peninsula, Tony is captured by a renegade sheikh and stumbles across a mystery that dates back to the Gulf War.
Rating: explicit, plus D/s themes

This story also deals with my fascination with Ubar, the Atlantis of the desert.

Mood: geeky
Music: Shearwater - Pushing the River
