Why this must be read: The author's summary is this: "When Tony Stark was seventeen years old, he built his first AI. On that day, he ceased to be his father's creation, and became a creating force in his own right. / That one act likely saved his life, and not always in the most obvious ways."
I'm going to start with the same caveat I offered on my own recs page, which is that I think you need to know Avengers and Iron Man canons for some of the most important moments in this story to really resonate - and honestly, I love this story enough to say that if you haven't seen all three movies, you should probably go do that before starting to read, just to let the story work as well as it possibly can.
Either way through, this is really well done, and...man, you wouldn't imagine that a story half-narrated by AIs and robots would be able to pack such a powerful emotional punch, but yeah, it does. Potentially spoilery content information: Flashbacks to torture and deaths and loss, thoughts of suicide)
