Look, okay, scifigrl47 is an excellent writer. Go forth, read, and start wishing that you have a Dummy bot of your very own. This story is hilarious, heart warming, and will probably make you cry. And Tony in turn loves Dummy best and has no problem telling people that.Īnd you just have to love his attempts to find Tony's ideal life partner that harken back to the Parent Trap.

He acts kind of like a really brilliant 3 year old, but has the brain of someone who has been around Tony for most of his life and knows what his "CREATOR UNIT" needs far better than any of the other human or robotic units that Tony deals with on a regular basis. Scifigrl does an amazing job with Dummy's speech/thought processes and translating them into programming directives and actions, while still making him very much a robot. This story follows Dummy and Tony from the time Tony is 17 through the events of Iron Man 1 & 2 and the Avengers movie, all the way until the Avengers move into the towers and have been there for months.ĭummy is really the star of this series, though Tony, JARVIS, and Steve are also awesome.

The artist describes the story as "one of my favorite fics from this pairing" and says about the manip, "I’m not trying to make this pass as a fanart from the story itself, because the scene in there is a little bit different - but the essence is the same. meantforeyesurgery made a manip that was inspired by a quote from the story. Thesuperhusbands made a "if superhusbands fics were movies" gif art set for the story that's both fanfic cover and story illustration at the same time. The latter is based on a scene in Tony's workshop after he and Steve had sex for the first time. The story has inspired fanart, for example an illustration by cptnstag-xo-doe and another illustration by selfmadesuperhero. However, this podfic appears never to been completed.Īnother podfic by reena_jenkins was uploaded to AO3 in December 2013, and is complete. The first part was posted by twilight_imp_626 on October 31, 2012. The first podfic was podficced as a WIP as the fic was being posted. It is currently ongoing, with 17 instalments as of 2021, consisting of both completed fics and WIPs. This story became the first in a series, Tales of the Bots, also called the Botverse. That one act likely saved his life, and not always in the most obvious ways.

On that day, he ceased to be his father's creation, and became a creating force in his own right. When Tony Stark was seventeen years old, he built his first AI.
