kellifer_ficAuthor Website: AO3Why this must be read: The thing I like best about this fic is the way kellifer just nails the voice of Tony Stark, which is not easy to do. It's got the trademark witty banter, but it's also got that kind of straight-forward amazed puzzlement at how the rest of the world operates, starting when Tony finds Clint basically living in a conference room at SHIELD because his movements are limited after the helicarrier attack. Tony really doesn't want to get involved, but he also can't leave it alone, so Clint ends up living at Stark Tower. Once you start collecting stray Avengers, well, pretty soon you've got a tower full.
If that's not enough to entice you, the story also has a pet Dalek named Eduardo, a tree house, Hulk slippers, the team in action, and all the joy that comes from Tony accidentally acquiring an extended (albeit strange) family.
( 'It won't figure out a way to take over the world if that's what you're worried about. It can learn basic actions, some words. It's not going to organize a rebellion of the kitchen appliances.' )On AO3:
