Everyone knows that Tony Stark is a playboy, billionaire philanthropist, but what they don’t know is that he’s also a werewolf. When a government agency known as SHIELD finds out, they use this information to force Tony’s hand and bring him into a new elite lycan field team, codename The Avengers Initiative.

Suddenly Tony finds himself playing host to a bunch of lycans, a misplaced God of Thunder and an experimental supersoldier that isn’t as dead as everyone assumed. Can his week get any worse?

Notes: Firstly, THANK YOU to [livejournal.com profile] essouffle - the artwork is AMAZING! It just takes my breath away.

Thank you as always to my off-LJ beta Superfox. Any remaining grammar gaffs, homophone abuses or general mish-mashes of the English language belong to me.

Ahem - just wanted to say that, the art was so awesome! :-)

Oh HELL yeah! Awesome work, you guys!

I loved the whole thing! (well, except for Fury's blackmail bit, there I wanted someone to rip his face off!) And Tony helping Pepper <3 <3 <3! The lycan backstory for Steve and Maria was heartbreaking and gives Tony's angst serious depth, and I admire how you kind of hinted at the Superhuman Registry Act from the comics. It's weird how that makes this universe seem darker than the Avenger movie!verse - more Ultimates or Magneto-era X-men feeling, if that makes any sense. 8)

Also, YES, AMAZING art! Just perfect for the story. (Tony's sockfeet! HUGE spider-things! STEEEEVE!)

a few little typos - do you care?

Let me know - it was beta'd but with my broken hand and only left-hand typing I think I missed some posting here that I fixed in AO3 because they highlighted.

Just gone back through and hopefully all fixed! :)

You got me to love werewolves! I think you had me at furry porn.

And while it was obnoxious, that is exactly the kind of asshole (movie?) Fury can be.

I love the couch pile of comfort, head scritches, and pointy things.

The artwork is delightful - they matched the story perfectly and felt as fast paced and epic as the fic while managing to catch moments of... err.. I don't have a word better than grace at the moment.

Wasn't the art BEAUTIFUL?? I couldn't believe how spoiled I was!

It's fantastic!! I love the family you create for them! (I would love to read more in this universe!)

I do have a question though, and maybe you answered it in the story and I just missed it, but why does Tony's scent drive others off?

Also, the artwork is fantastic essouffle did a great job!

[identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com 2012-05-14 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
why does Tony's scent drive others off?

It's kind of a mix of an alpha male thing and also Tony's belief that he puts people/werewolves off (hello insecrurities and overcompensating for them Tony!). I didn't really explain it but in my head it was also a territory thing... you wouldn't necessarily have packs overlapping location-wise and being comfortable with it.
