God, yes, on the Avengers stuff too. I don't mind people writing basically an AU where the pairing is different -- but I sort of choke on stories where Pepper dumps Tony in the first paragraph for being unable to give her a normal life, just to get her out of the way for Tony/Steve. (And this in stories set after IM3!) When 90% of the stories I find under the Tony/Pepper tag on AO3 are actually Tony/Steve or Tony/Loki, with Pepper getting lip service for just long enough to sweep her under the rug, it gets frustrating.
