Just finished reading a novel-length fanfic titled "The Silver Age" by Copperbadge, (http://archiveofourown.org/series/353996) set in an alternative Marvel universe, where Tony Stark is born in 1950. When he's 17 the Winter Soldier is captured by his father -- Howard Stark -- during a failed assassination attempt against Tony's father and mother. The Stark family takes Bucky under their wing and this alters the relationship between Tony and his father (by giving Tony opportunities to shine) which results in a much happier family for Tony to grow up in. Teaming up with Tony as his bodyguard, Bucky and the Stark family weather the downfall of Shield and a second assassination attempt -- this time against Tony. When Tony is older, he and Bucky undergo a search for Captain America's downed plane, hoping that he might still be alive due to the super-soldier serum. Along the way the Starks end up taking under their wing almost the entire roster of the the early Avengers, giving a second chance to many.

This is a much happier rendering of what it's like to grow up a Stark, and as a result Tony grows up a happy, better-balanced human being with a wide collection of friends. Copperbadge is a very accomplished story-teller, and the coverart was provided by flyakate.

Go. Read. Enjoy!

I love the "Avengers as extended Stark family" dynamic that develops in this series, especially the lioness role of Maria Stark. There's action, humor, romance, and all, but it's the warm AU family vibe that makes this stand out. The author's decisions as to who is what age (and when Steve is found) also shake up the way they fit together. On the first one, I commented (on AO3) that the only element I regretted the necessary lack of (given a younger Tony, and a decades-earlier-than-his-canon-youth setting) was the AI JARVIS (the Jarvises still being Howard and Maria's faithful employees).
