Lo these many moons ago, I watched Iron Man: Armored Adventures. For the uninitiated, this is a deeply ridiculous kids' cartoon in which Tony Stark is a teenager who becomes Iron Man and has ridiculous adventures. It's like a laser beam aimed straight at my id. Identity porn! Weird non-canon AUs! Superheroes! Tony having to deal with normal life stuff like homework and stupid crushes while simultaneously fighting evil! Pepper and Rhodey get to be awesome!
But there was one thing I always wished they'd done, which was make it a full high school AU for ALL the Avengers. Most of the MCU Avengers show up, but Tony's the only one who's a teenager; Clint and Natasha are awesome twentysomething spies, Bruce is a contemporary of Tony's dad, and Steve's an iceberg. (Thor doesn't show up.) I've been tossing around ideas for an MCU/Armored Adventures fusion for a few years now, but haven't gotten around to actually writing anything yet, and, well. Why not now? This entire canon is super duper iddy for me, and throwing in EVEN MORE identity porn makes it even moreso. Add too many OT3s to be realistic and Jane and Betty hanging out, and there's my idfic :D
