Why this must be read: Almost No One Makes It Out is a sterling example of the AU form. Take an established universe, change one item -- one crucial item -- and watch what happens. In this case,atrata created a universe without a Stark Enterprises. Tony's father and grandfather did not create a successful munitions company. So Pepper Potts is not the massively competent personal assistant to a Fortune 500 CEO, but she's still massively competent, and still possibly in love with Tony. JARVIS does not run a high-tech Malibu mansion with its highest-tech workshop, but he's still there, still speaking. Most significantly, Tony Stark does not lead, and has never led, a privileged life. He's still amazingly brilliant and amazingly abrasive, but now he is not protected against the heavy consequences of his own misbehavior by wealth, power and influence.
And yet, he creates the Iron Man, and finds his path in doing so.
