In fics where both Bruce/Tony and Hulk/Tony happen, the latter usually happens after or at the same time Bruce and Tony first start showing interest in each other. So, let's do a little reversal:
Prompt: Unexpectedly, Tony Stark falls in love with the Hulk first.
Bruce and Tony are absolutely Science Bros from the get-go, but for whatever reason, Tony just doesn't think of Bruce in a sustained romantic or sexual sense at first (or dismisses the idea ASAP). But then the Hulk saved Tony after the portal, and who wouldn't want to get to know their savior? (Plus, Tony's always been fascinated by the big green rage monster.) So Tony is constantly interacting with him whenever he appears, needling Bruce to let the Big Guy out for some non-smashing time, etc., and they get along really well, and... huh, Tony realizes he like likes the Hulk.
(On the other side of the equation, Bruce finds himself resenting the Hulk for an entirely new reason.)
Other requirements:
- Hulk returns Tony's feelings, both romantically and sexually (though it's up to you whether there's any physical consummation).
- Fic can end as both Hulk/Tony and Bruce/Tony OR as Hulk/Tony and one-sided Bruce-->Tony.
