Summary

Ghosts can’t find you when you’re hiding from green light, betrayal, brainwashing, blood, death- death- death in the comfortable grasp of drugs, booze, work.It doesn’t matter how fast you run, how hard you hide, PTSD will find you and knock you from your pedestal. Your best hope is that there will be someone to catch you when you land- perhaps a family you didn’t know you had.

Seems like Jarvis might actually activate the other AI's all on his own... those tags and people...yep, he definitely needs the extra hands to handle all of these guys mental state 24/7.

This is certainly a different path to go down compared to your other Tony Stark is Harry Potter's dad storyline but I am curious to see what happens with the god of mischief and Harry who from the sound of it is running from the "ghosts" of his past that he left in England. I'm really curious to see how the James "Bucky" Barnes/harry Potter comes to fruition.

I literally went through the entirety of the Tony stark & Harry Potter tag this weekend because LSMH has me obsessed, and I couldn’t find anything close to satisfying, so I’m so pumped to see where you go with this! I adore this intro with mischievous (maybe a little helpful) Loki

'When (he)felt the irrational urge...(Loki) followed it immediately. Irrational urges were typically a delight to follow through with and (Loki) enjoyed the inevitable chaos that resulted from these urges.'Jess--Jess? Is this you? Are you hiding behind a pseudonym here, following these irrational urges and enjoying the inevitable chaos fallout? Sounds like you're telling on yourself.

I really had the audacity to think maybe I wouldn’t become obsessed with this, I should’ve known better honestly.Loki on his mini quest for WMD, riches, and ancient magic. Queue 🪄 Harry Potter 🤣He could start his own side-hustle reuniting war orphans with their long-lost relatives!Brilliant introduction to this new story, I’m so excited! And very interested in getting to see Harry’s headspace.

Never in my history on ao3 have I started re-reading a fanfic the same day I finished it. But - oh doll - I can't stop thinking about it. So I'm starting from the beginning, nothing like an extra dose of tears. You are an amazing writer, and I could die for your characterization of Harry and Bucky. I love them so much 🥹

If you're talking about Harry's biological father, then I could see his father being Loki, since they both have green eyes, and messy black hair. Though Loki's messy untameable hair is more tamed than Harry's is. Natasha is a woman, with fiery red hair and hazel green eyes. So not the same, since he's looking for his biological father. And Loki was lead to Harry with a pull that was familiar to him.

Loki is such a dick yet that was the most God of Mischief moment I’ve seen in awhile. Harry is a hot mess. I feel for Tony, living there is not good for his mental health. I need everyone to settle down and steve and Tony to speak. Hopefully they will during this. Looking forward to more!

A part of me wants to actively choke Steve on his own moral superiority here?? But also I am almost cracking up at how much this must suck for Harry, while simultaneously looking forward to seeing how long it takes Tony to go from his disbelief and disinterest to full Papa Bear mode in making sure Loki stays away from his child.It's an interesting mix 😂

“As in a ‘polka dot poodle’ safe word hard limit” plsss where do you come up with this stuff 🤣🤣 I’m dyingg“It was in the way that Tony payrolled the whole damn Avenger lifestyle and was still treated like an outsider.” 🥲 hits a little too close to home minus being rich part. Tony’s just going thru it he’s so lonely :(( it’s a good thing surprise children are the cure to boredom“Loki was the thing that people needed a haven from.” He’s there for the drama that’s all 💅😂Loveeeee it

Amazing chapter. The conversation between Tony,Loki,Harry,Steve,Natasha,Barnes,Bruce and Clint was nice. Tony will regret calling Harry a junkie. It is wonderful that Harry is indeed Tony’s son.

I actually get why Tony would be so suspicious here - he’s a well known billionaire he’s probably used to all kinds of people claiming to be related to him. The rest of the avengers makes me wanna scream - sure he was harsh but he did not have any way of knowing if what Loki said was true, and Loki is a trickster. It’s perfectly reasonable to be wary of what he says.

I’m not overly impressed with Steve either but I for the most part like Bucky usually when he’s paired with Harry. Tony to me is like a muggle version if Harry but with extras lol.

“Look this isn’t a B&B for every shit bag that wants to turn around and cry ‘I was brainwashed’,” Tony complained.This genuinely had me laughing so hard I couldn’t breathe.

I mean.... tony really wasn't wrong on his reaction? If you were a billionaire and someone you know is untrustworthy came into your house with a rando street junkie and told you it was your son would YOU believe him with ZERO evidence??Im suprised at everyone's reactions, especially Nat. She should be the most paranoid one out of all of them. Why is she trusting Loki??

SapphireKageKyuura92

You are honestly the worst Tony. Honestly, you just take one look at Harry and then say "see ya". And the first thought you had when you noticed Harry looking around all anxiously - was junkie. How stupid are you? Don't you know what an abused child does? They look around anxiously, taking in all the exits and taking note what would be the faster escape route. Harry was dirty with knotted hair, is because he's lived on the streets for who knows how long looking for his biological father. I bet for the longest time he thought James Potter was his dad. I guess Harry got Lily's eyes because if it wasn't for the black hair - no one would have guessed he was Tony's son. He likely looks more like Lily than he does Tony. And like typical asshole Tony response is to not remember the women he's slept with.
