Summary
No one knew how Tony Stark escaped from Afghanistan. No one connected the mysterious vigilante “Iron Man” to the CEO of the very weapons he destroyed.
At a UNESCO conference Ryland Grace tried to change the world. At that same conference he did nothing except change his own.
Everyone else saw a disgraced scientist. Tony saw exactly what he needed.
Or:
An AU where Tony was at Grace’s career-ending conference and, instead of shunning him like everyone else, Tony offered him a job.

Tony Stark Does Not Have a Type by paintedcrayon

Summary
Tony meets Grace at a gala where literally everyone else is boring. But he doesn't have a type. Definitely not. No matter what Rhodey says.
“I heard he’s one of the best,” Rhodey said.
“Is that supposed to impress me?”
“No. I was under the impression the six-foot-something was doing most of the work.”
Tony scoffed, rolling his eyes. “I don’t have a type.”Bookmarked by Koalaangel

Summary
My pride stings a little at being so underestimated by a species that couldn’t even outrun a particularly determined turtle if their life depended on it. Look, I’m no Sha’Carri Richardson, but I’m pretty proud of my seven-minute mile. I worked hard for it. I haven’t been able to handle myself like this since I was... well, since I left Earth.
“Y’know what? Let’s settle this once and for all. I could use an endurance test anyway. Good for my cardio.”
Dr. Bones perks up. “You’ll do a demonstration?”
“Absolutely. Give me two rest days and a warmup, then I’ll show you what the average human athlete can do.”
-----
AKA, Grace doesn't consider himself much of an athlete, but he's no slouch either. And he's got the physical prowess of his whole species to represent!
The xenobiology team, on the other hand, is horrified to learn what a 'persistence hunter' is.

Summary
“Well, the rest of it should be pretty simple. Just duct tape and aluminum foil.” Dr. Grace smiles, a little lopsided. His glasses have slipped farther down his nose. “Maybe some safety glasses.”
“I’m sure we can arrange that.” Carl’s a little breathless, and Dr. Grace smiles wider.
Carl wants to make him happy, he realizes. Wants to see him smile and pump his fist in the air again after some new discovery. For the project, he tells himself. Just because he’ll make progress on the project.
They glance at each other, and Dr. Grace’s cheeks flush, but he doesn’t look away. He doesn’t look away, and Carl’s heart lifts, and for fifteen minutes they’re on top of the world. They buy safety glasses and throw bags and bags of sour skittles in their cart and on the drive back to the hangar, Carl feels more hopeful than he has in a long time.
(He knows it’s worthless. He knows it’s a bad impulse, that this will just lead to even more pain, just like everyone else who’s joined and left the project at the drop of a hat. He does it anyway.)

carl, as a rule, doesn't let himself get attached to people in this business. that goes out the window as soon as dr. grace shows up.Bookmarked by Koalaangel
