There is a story in which Tony and JARVIS save lots of the exposed S.H.I.E.L.D. people, after Steve and Natasha do the Data Dump. The rescued people (and their families) are grateful and accept jobs at STARK INDUSTRIES.
Does anyone know the title or author? It was on AO3, but my searching has not yielded success.
This? The War is Far From Over Now by Dont_call_me_Carrie
Summary: The world keeps pushing him, demanding, because what he did wasn't enough. Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, but that wasn't enough, wasn't ever enough.
Tony Stark was tired. But he had a planet to protect, even if everyone laughed at him whenever the prospect of alien invasions was brought up. He could count on one hand how many people he could trust, which was disheartening but then, what else was new?
Or,
In which Tony does not, in fact, intend to take over the world.
...unfortunately, everyone else missed that particular memo.
[gradual divergence from canon, starting at the end of Iron Man 3. In which it's Tony's self-awareness, rather than his support system, that becomes a cryptid sometime during Phase II.]
