Fics like the world is not kind

The first time Ben Parker meets Tony Stark, he punches him square in the face. Tony bites back a curse and ignores the way his eyes water as he looks back up at the man. Ben’s not angry, which is part of the reason the punch took him by surprise. They’re lucky the door is closed, or Happy would have tackled him to the ground. “Did that make you feel better?” Tony asks, the sarcasm in his tone biting, but Ben takes it as a serious question. “No.” If Tony didn’t know any better, he’d say the man almost cracks a smile. It’s hard to tell, and Tony’s never met a man he can’t read, but Ben doesn’t look angry (seriously, why doesn’t he look angry?), even though that punch felt angry. “...Maybe a little.” *** Or, May dies instead of Ben. We’ve seen Ben’s legacy – but what about May’s? Losing a mother is something different from losing a father, but either way, it hurts. (Endgame spoilers but it sure as hell ain’t compliant.)
