Norman Osborn is a Terrible Dad: How Tony Stark Justified Stealing a Child

*this is all super rough drafts of a story that will probably never be polished or completed, although I am still working on it!!*(Before becoming Iron Man) Tony Stark made the incredibly stupid and impulsive decision to kidnap 9 year old Harry Osborn, because Tony saw how Norman Osborn treated Harry during a public event. Tony compared Norman’s behavior to Howard Stark, made some dubious assumptions based on very little information, and decided that Harry needed to be rescued from a loveless upbringing. Tony did not take into consideration how being kidnapped would inflict an entirely different form of trauma or how generally unprepared he was to raise a child.Approximately 10 years later, Harry has established a new identity as Steve Harrison Stark, Tony’s adopted/bastard son, and he's being allowed to move in with a roommate near ESU. After watching a documentary that featured missing children and their grieving families, Harry is overwhelmed with guilt for never giving his father any sense of closure. Harry makes an ill-advised secret phone call which Norman then uses to track him down.

Originally I intended for there to be some form of sexual abuse (either Tony or Norman having inappropriate feelings for Harry), then I decided that would be too far out of character for Tony and a friend convinced me that this story is more emotionally compelling and interesting if their feelings are strictly platonic/paternal.BUT THEN—as a loose google translation of something another friend told me—deep, deep inside me I desire fire and I want to burn with incest! So I have given into my baser nature and the later chapters where Adult Harry is reunited with Norman will include incest and those specific chapters will include warnings in the chapter notes.
