Fics like Pursuit of Happiness

He codes. He fiddles with Extremis more than he should, like he told Pepper and Rhodey he wouldn’t. He wants to make things better, make them right. He wants to be happy again, somehow. They agreed he would take time off from business, though, give him and Pepper time to heal into whatever they’re going to be next. This is their cocoon stage; they might make it into a butterfly. He realizes fiddling with how his brain can interact with information while he’s upset is maybe not the smartest thing, but he’s pretty sure a straight brain-wifi connection is still smarter than drinking himself into temporary amnesia. He’s a genius, after all, even if his self-preservation instincts wouldn’t be out of place on a lemming. -- Tony uses extremis to try and make himself better. That is not what happens, at all.
