haters to lovers? bucky hates stark in the comics and in the movies you are so delusional

It's called fanfiction. And in my fanfiction they turn from haters to lovers.

Here see?

Plus - I don't think Bucky "hates" Tony even in the movies.

Hi hi 👋 love your writing, pink, winteriron?

thank youuu! I hope you like this!

(now taking prompts for pride month)

Fading Pink

WinterIron, T, 650 - Fluff

~

“Tony.”

“Mhm.”

“Tony. Angel.”

“Mm!”

A low, rumbling laugh makes its way to Tony’s ears as cool fingers trail down his spine.

“Doll face,” that warm voice says, warmer than the sun still soaking into his skin. “Tony, sweetheart, if you don’t wake up already I’m eatin’ your dinner.”

With another grumbled hum Tony finally lifts his head from his crossed arms, blinking sluggishly against the bright golden light.

Ah, right, he’s on a beach, sprawled out on their giant blanket and supposedly working on his tan. He must have fallen asleep at some point after Bucky had headed back into the biggest rental house Tony could talk him into for the trip. Their own little slice of paradise, at least for now.

It's been nearly perfect, but Tony can always find something to complain about.

”You abandoned me,” Tony pouts, narrowing his eyes at the dark shape sitting beside him, casting a shadow over him.

"Someone had t’make us some food," Bucky returns, and Tony can tell he’s grinning by the tilt of his head, “an’ we both know you weren’t gonna move.”

“I’m photo-”

“You are not photosynthesizing,” Bucky interrupts with a huff of laughter, and Tony grumbles as he buries his face in his arms again. “I really will eat your food,” Bucky warns, but he’s absently brushing the hair away from the nape of Tony’s neck.

“Five more minutes,” Tony demands, his voice a petulant whine even as he arches up into the wonderful contrast of Bucky’s cool skin against his.

“Are you tryin’ to roast yourself out here?” Bucky asks with another soft laugh.

“Like a rotisserie chicken,” Tony agrees as he flops over onto his back and stretches lazily. He smirks as Bucky’s eyes drag down his bare chest to stop on the tiny black swim trunks sitting low on his hips. “I hope you appreciate this,” Tony says as he bends one knee up, letting his thighs fall open just a little wider, “I’m only wearing the shorts because you like tan lines.”

“I do like 'em,” Bucky agrees with a thoughtful nod and now his chilled metal fingers are following the path of his eyes, down Tony’s stomach to trail along the waist of his shorts. “But apparently,“ he continues, ”there was th’ alternative of you not wearin’ these. So it’s a real win/lose situation for me.”

Tony laughs, and then laughs harder when Bucky’s fingers dip ticklishly beneath the fabric, pulling it up to inspect the line of his tan. “Now go back to touching my head,“ he demands, shoving lightly at Bucky’s hand without any real intent. ”that felt amazing. So refreshing.”

"‘Cuz I’ve been inside," Bucky says with a roll of his eyes, but reaches up to brush the hair off Tony’s forehead, “in th’ AC, where our dinner is waitin’ on us. C’mon.”

“And leave the sun?“ Tony demands even as he lean up into Bucky’s touch, ”The sun is my new best friend.”

"Well your new best friend burned me,“ Bucky says and Tony laughs at the memory of his skin flushed an angry red before he’d fled inside earlier. ”Stop,“ Bucky complains, poking him in the forehead.

”Sorry, sorry,“ Tony says, still laughing, ”but I told you to start slow, you have to woo the sun.“

”Woo me,“ Bucky grumbles, letting himself be pulled down beside Tony on the sandy blanket.

”Gladly,” Tony says and reels him into a kiss, dragging his thumb along the warm curve of Bucky’s cheek. His sunburn has already healed to just a hint of color, like a lingering blush, and Tony kisses him until the sun has vanished into the water.

“Dinner is still waitin’,“ Bucky points out eventually, but his fingers are still creeping beneath the waist of Tony’s shorts.

”Let it wait,“ Tony says and presses his lips to the fading pink over the bridge of Bucky’s nose.

FIC REC WEEK 41 – FRIENDSHIP

RHODEY & TONY

Emergency Contact by whumphoarder

Pairing: Rhodey & Tony Rating: G Words: 4,042 Tags: MIT Era, Hurt/Comfort, Sick Tony

Summary: It’s not that James disliked his roommate, it’s just that they didn’t exactly get off on the right foot. Or, in which fifteen-year-old college freshman Tony Stark needs a ride to the ER and James Rhodes is too responsible for his own good.

Reasons why I love it: This fic feels incredibly real to me – like, if Tony and Rhodey were real people, this is how their friendship would've started. I love that we get to see the beginnings of Rhodey's affection for Tony and that they have this sort of brotherly dynamic between them. It's amazing, and I hope you go and read it for yourself!

Deposit Security by Reioka

Pairing: Rhodey & Tony Rating: G Words: 3,366 Tags: Mentions of Abuse, MIT Era, Hurt/Comfort

Summary: Tony's always been a little weirdo. Jim likes him anyway.

Reasons why I love it: Rhodey is so patient and kind with Tony, is really great to see. And I loved that glimpse into Rhodey's family life and how Rhodey's mom practically adopts Tony on the spot. It's super sweet, even though Tony's struggle breaks my heart. This fic is amazing, and you should definitely read it!

fly so free (smile down on all you see) by orphan_account

Pairing: Rhodey & Tony, Tony & Peter Rating: G Words: 2,041 Tags: Domestic Fluff, Italian Tony, Tony Acting as Peter's Parental Figure

Summary: Rhodes finds a file in FRIDAY’s databases titled “Tony, Face It: He’s Got You Wrapped Around His Little Finger”, created by someone called May Parker. Of course, he investigates.

Reasons why I love it: The last line of this fic always makes me grin like an idiot. I really love the way FRIDAY teases Rhodey here, their dialogue is super fun. And of course, I'm always a sucker for Irondad, so Tony and Peter being adorable together makes me beyond happy. You should give this one a read, it's wonderful!

Don't Overthink It by Potrix

Pairing: Rhodey & Tony, Bucky/Tony Rating: T Words: 1,883 Tags: Protective Rhodey, Misunderstandings, First Kiss

Summary: Now, Jim is about as straight as a person can be—tested a couple of times by drunkenly making out with his best friend, which Tony loves to bring up whenever it’s really inappropriate to do so—but he has no problem admitting that, objectively speaking, Barnes is an attractive guy. He’s got that whole gruff, frowny, bad boy thing a lot of people are into going on, but whenever he actually does smile, it’s devastating. One time, Jim had seen a girl on the street do a double-take and nearly walk into a magazine stand after Barnes had smiled at one of Tony’s dumb jokes. Or, alternatively; Rhodey means well, meddles, and actually sort-of-kind-of ends up helping in the end.

Reasons why I love it: Aaah, meddling Rhodey, my beloved! His concern for Tony's well-being is so sweet, and I love how he has Tony's back without ever intending to mention it to him. Also, the background Winteriron romance is adorable, they're such dorks in love. Please go and check this one out if you haven't, it's amazing!

Interlude by icarus_chained

Pairing: Rhodey & Tony, Natasha & Tony Rating: G Words: 1,830 Tags: Fluff, Team Dynamics, Rest

Summary: After 48 hours of drawn out global action on behalf of the Avengers and SHIELD, Tony and Rhodey come aboard the Helicarrier for debrief and downtime. People are tired and frazzled, and slighly more unguarded than usual.

Reasons why I love it: This is such a sweet look at the team behind closed doors. I especially loved the banter between Rhodey, Tony and Fury, and how this truly feels like a deleted post-battle scene. Plus, that little sincere Rhodey-Tony moment at the end there made me super happy. I love this one, and I bet you will too!

New Year Countdown: Dec 6

CRAP, I forgot to post this yesterday!!! And I was particularly excited about this one because it's a Sandbridge callback! (I randomly rolled "Restaurant AU" and couldn't not do it!)

If you haven't read the Sandbridge AU before, first of all, I'm not sure why you even follow me. And second of all, you probably do need to know before clicking through that Tony and Bucky have 2 daughters in that series, Billie and Livvy.

Dec 6 - Winteriron - Restaurant AU - Sleigh

Bucky was whistling “Jingle Bells” under his breath as he turned his truck into Dockside’s parking lot. Christmas was just around the corner, Billie was home from school on holiday break, Dockside was enjoying a brief surge of business as local families decided it was easier to eat out than cook for their holiday visitors, and he’d actually managed to finish all his holiday shopping before the mad rush of Christmas Eve, for a change.

He looked around to make sure neither his husband nor his daughters were immediately present, then unlocked the toolbox on the side of his truck and pulled out his last few packages, bustling them into the garage before anyone could appear. Even Livvy knew that he hid everything in there, under the old stack of inflatable pools that probably didn’t fully inflate anymore, but none of them would peek.

“Papa!” Speaking of the devil... Bucky ducked out of the garage before Livvy made her way around the corner of the building.

“Hi there, Briar Rose,” he said, reaching out to ruffle the preteen’s hair. “What’s cookin’?”

“Uncle Steve is,” she said, grinning, but grabbed his arm and pulled. “Come on, down to the beach!”

Bucky followed along gamely, though he’d need to get into the kitchen to help with prep soon. “Why? What’s going on?”

Livvy giggled and let go, running ahead of him.

As soon as Bucky cleared the corner, he saw what Livvy was so wound up about. Tied up at the dock that gave the restaurant its name was a smallish motorboat. That by itself was not too unusual, though this particular dock wasn’t really the ideal location for it, being more of a pier for fishing than a true dock.

But someone -- and Bucky was laying money on his husband -- had somehow decked the boat out to look like Santa’s sleigh, the side panels situated so the “runners” of the sleigh skimmed just about at water level. It was an elaborate illusion, including dozens if not hundreds of lights and a platform above the motor that was piled high with what Bucky fervently hoped were fake presents, lest any of them topple overboard. A couple of the presents featured Dockside’s logo prominently; Bucky suspected that Steve had helped with that paint job. Billie and Nat were in the boat with Tony, helping with something, while Livvy danced excitedly at the end of the dock.

Laughing, Bucky ambled down the beach and out onto the dock, arriving at the end just as Tony clambered up the rope ladder that was hung there. Bucky reached down to help Tony up and pulled him into a kiss that they might have prolonged somewhat just because Livvy was clearly so impatient for them to stop.

“So this is your top-secret project,” Bucky said when he finally had to take a breath. “Santa’s going by water this year?”

“Not a lot of chimneys in Sandbridge,” Tony pointed out, his eyes sparkling. “But lots of boat slips.”

“There’s a parade!” Livvy announced. “On the 23rd! We’re definitely going to win!”

Bucky raised his eyebrows as he helped Nat and then Billie up onto the dock. “A parade?”

“Yes,” Nat said firmly. “We may not win, but I think we will make a good showing.”

“It’s a nice sleigh,” Bucky agreed, eyeing the boat. “But I reckon I might miss the reindeer.”

Nat traded grins with Billie.

“A water sleigh doesn’t need flying reindeer, Uncle Bucky,” Billie said. “It needs flying fish.”

“That’s what all the presents on the back are for,” Tony put in. “After we get our fish attached to the front, we’ll add ballast to the presents to counterbalance them. Thank god the parade won’t go at more than five knots the whole way, or our whole boat would probably sink.”

“Send me the details on this parade,” Bucky told them as they headed back up the dock toward the beach. “I’ll get Victoria to sub for me so I can come watch and cheer you on.”

“Great!” Billie enthused. “That means I can ride with the boat instead of staying on shore with the bug.”

Livvy pushed her way between Bucky and Tony, “And then we can all go out for ice cream after!”

“This is required,” Nat announced before Bucky could respond. “If we win, we must have ice cream to celebrate. And if we do not win, then ice cream shall console us.”

Bucky laughed and put his arms around Billie and Livvy, tucking one hand into Tony’s back pocket for good measure. “It’s a date.”

I’d like to suggest “lost, angry, armed” for Winteriron for the writing game. Smut or not is equally great. Love to see more Winteriron in the world 💜💜

Thanks for the prompt! It kind of went a bit sideways, but I hope you enjoy.

-------

“When you told me you’d dressed up as ‘armed and dangerous,’ this wasn’t exactly what I had in mind,” Bucky said, yawning as he perched up on his elbows, the mattress shifting under his weight. He had been in bed for the evening, which meant he was wearing only a pair of boxers. A thin bed sheet slipped down his bare chest as he moved. “Halloween is still a few months away,” Bucky continued, rubbing sleep from his eyes.

At the foot of the bed stood Tony, dressed up as some sort of biker…vampire? When he grinned, fake pointed incisors flashed in the bedroom light. “Just got back from that theater screening of Lost Boys. We sang all the songs even though there aren’t any, then fought in some wild undead.” Tony narrowed his eyes as he pretended to look angry and gnashed his teeth.

Tilting his head, Bucky took in his boyfriend's performance, along with his tight leather pants and torn white t-shirt. Glimpses of abs teased through the fabric. “I only understood about half of those words. Are you supposed to be an angry cabaret dancer?”

Tony shook his head. “Movie. Hot boys. Vampires. Horny.”

Bucky sat up fully on the bed; the sheet fell down to his hips. “Well, those words I fully understand. Come here, darlin’.”

Tony’s menacing expression morphed into a wide grin. He enthusiastically jumped on the bed, straddling Bucky. Bucky let his arms come around Tony’s waist to rest where his ass pushed against tight leather pants, his metal hand adding extra power to his squeeze. Tony moaned across Bucky’s skin, and he felt when Tony’s vampire teeth found his neck, lightly biting a line of kisses down past his shoulder and over his pec muscle. 

“You beat all those fake vampires, sweetheart?” Bucky whispered, the spark from Tony’s lips causing his hips to thrust up into leather pants. 

“You know it.”

Bucky squeezed again, grinding their hips together. “Sounds like someone deserves a reward.”

“I’ve come here ‘armed and dangerous’ to collect just that.”

Bucky flipped them over with superhuman speed, pinning Tony beneath him. “You’ve come to the right place.” He crashed their lips together, and Bucky discovered he had quite a thing for pointed teeth, ripped t-shirts and tight pants. Especially, when they were on Tony.

Ask me fanfic writer questions!

Hey Book!! :D wouldve answered these last night but as you know tumblr crashed on me 😭😭😭😭 so im answering it now instead!!

62.) what’s the weirdest reason you’ve ever shipped something?

Idk if this counts as weird per se but i straight up started shipping winteriron (Tony Stark x Bucky Barnes) because of THIS FUCKING FIC. It sold me on them SO HARD. Sometimes all it takes is one godtier fic that does everything right to get you hooked on a rarepair ✌️😔😔😔

65.) what is your favourite title for a fic you’ve written? 

If we're talking og titles i came up with myself, the title of my unpublished TES Oblivion fic is The Stars Have No Names, which ive always been fond of, especially combined with its planned sequel, But Those We Give Them-- which makes a full sentence that just sorta encapsulates the vibe of the whole thing in a way that really scratches my brain just right. This is closely followed by the piece i did for the DSMP Comics Zine, A Few E.G.G.s Short of the Full Scramble, which has multiple layers of puns loaded into it and makes me laugh like a lunatic every time i remember them

As for stuff that isnt original (aka song lyrics or poetry verses, which i steal from shamelessly), i'd have to say im most fond of sightless, unless the eyes reappear, which is the tma fic i wrote that accidentally predicted a decent chunk of the podcast's ending 😭 if i had a fucking nickel.... The verse is ripped from T.S. Eliot's "The Hollow Men" and i really loved how it just perfectly hits the vibes i was going for in that fic. Extremely on-the-nose titles are a game and brother i am WINNING

81.) if you could go back in time and give your younger self a piece of writing advice specific to you, what would it be?

"Hello tiny TJ. First of all, you are a transgender dyke. No this isnt relevant i just thought you ought to know. Anyway cool it with the perfectionism man one day people are gonna read a fic where every individual tag warning you've added is its own separate vine boom and you're gonna get tons of compliments on it despite the fact that it isnt what you consider fully polished. Got that written down? Cool. Now go forth and kiss women, peace<3"

91.) how has your writing style changed over the years?

My writing's always been pretty descriptive, but over the last few years its REALLY shifted into overdrive on the imagery. I think thats always been my biggest strength as a writer, and its something i really, really enjoy doing. As ive said in the past: if im not painting pictures with my words then what, pray tell, is the point!!!

The other thing ive noticed is that ive been dipping my toes into more experimental formatting, whether thats in regards to the story's structure (shout out to that time i planned to write a fic in reverse chronological order), the points of view (second person my beloved), different narration styles, or just the way the words on the page look-- something i know has been directly inspired by my cousin, who has an unpublished 85k Dead Space fanfic which replaces an ENTIRE CHAPTER with a twine game. The man is insane and i love him so much and one day i will bully him into finishing this fic because its not even halfway done what the fuck. Anyway thats my answer THANK YOU BOOK FOR SENDING THESE :DD

Ten Random Lines

Rules: pick any ten of your fics, scroll to the midpoint, pick a line (or three) and share it. Then tag ten people. I was tagged by @sivan325​ Thanks for the tag! I’m tagging: @mischief-and-tea-by-the-sea, @just-fandomthings, @chaoticgardenbread, @kleenexwoman, @sgfic, @naughtyneganjdm, @stormxpadme, @onekisstotakewithme, @ rescue-ram, @godestof3worlds and anyone else who wants to do this :) Have fun everyone! Because some of these vary in the ratings and I’m being fair in scrolling to the middle of the documents I’m going to put these under the cut for anyone who wants to read the lines lol. That being said here we go:

 (Not yet titled Scott Summers/Steve Rogers fic that is a follow up to my other Scott/Steve piece I did that also ties into the Winteriron fic Yearning) “It’s early,” Steve mouthed kissing the messy crop of dark hair spilled over his shoulder inviting temptation into his life at the idea of spending the next few days doing nothing, but exploring each other without thought or reason, just indulging in hedonism until neither could take it any longer, “You should rest.” “I have a meeting at noon,” his lover sighed running his fingers over the planes of Steve’s chest, reaching out to slide his palm down over Steve’s abdomen to touch his skin as if his lover was also questioning if this was really still happening between them, “I can’t be late.” “Not even if you tell them you’re working on public relations?” Steve teased circling his index finger over the dip in the man’s spine catching the goosebumps that formed on his flesh in Steve’s caress, “When we’re working out the future of team unity here?”

Gone Forever (Scott/Logan) “Always only with me,” Logan teased curling his arm tighter around Scott’s body to pull Scott in over his chest more completely, “Although Nate’s probably going to wake up feeling insatiable himself when he starts talking about finding the leftover wedding cake.” “He’s going to want you to take him out sledding like you promised when we drove in and he saw that hill,” Scott reminded Logan with a sweep over fingers over Logan’s chest, “He’s not going to take no for an answer after your promised to take him.” “I’ll take him,” Logan kissed the top of Scott’s head, “I’m a man of my word Slim.” “I know you are,” Scott angled his head up to take another look at Logan, “That’s why I knew that I was destined to fall hopelessly in love with you the moment you tried to drown yourself in my lake.”

The Assignment (Bucky/Tony) “What do you think?” Tony decided moving in to reach for Bucky’s pants and open them as anticipated. “I think…that you need to have someone make love to you for once in your life,” Bucky answered pulling Tony up off the floor and into his lap, “To show you that you mean more than just a means of getting off.” “Getting off is easy for me,” Tony’s face grew hot in the admission, “It feels good, and I don’t have to think about… ”“What it means to mean something more to someone else who cares about you,” Bucky challenged touching Tony’s cheek and urging Tony to meet his eyes again, “To feel something about the person you’re sharing yourself with knowing that it means more than just pleasure.” “Pleasure feels good,” Tony challenged brazenly as Bucky’s firm grip returned to his bottom to squeeze him tighter than before. “Falling in love feels better.”

Better Together (Scott/Tony) “Can’t rush perfection, right?” Scott sighed lowering his head onto Tony’s shoulder and savoring the warmth of the man who held him. He felt Tony’s fingers sliding down over his spine, spreading warmth on the path that they were on as it appeared that once again obligation had set limitations on their time spent together. “Making love to you isn’t something I plan on taking lightly,” Tony’s sultry words caused butterflies to dance in Scott’s stomach as his body was filled with anticipation and longing for the one thing that they were yet to share with one another. As Tony’s lips found their way to Scott’s again, Tony’s right hand settled over Scott’s sharp jawline, tracing over his all-too-eager skin while Tony’s thumb skimmed against Scott’s chiseled cheekbone, “I want it to be perfect for us when it finally happens.”

Firestorm (Bucky/Tony) “Stevie’s gonna kill you when he learns what your stupid ass did. We both know that,” Bucky counseled the man in the mirror knowing that running off and marrying Tony Stark without warning or reason beyond what Bucky suspected was a whim was going to raise the door to suspicions and create a wave of problems back home. Still not wanting to dwell on it, Bucky combed his hair back one last time before taking in a breath and making his way out into the suite to face the morning.

Home Again (Bucky/Tony) “Jen,” Bruce spoke up behind an uneasy expression as his face was filled with a crimson color in everyone listening to his cousin’s excitement in her new position with the team. “Can we get this one to lay off the caffeine here?” another feminine sarcastic voice questioned and groaned when Luke returned to the conversation once again. “She’s excited Jessica and who can blame her? It’s not every day we get called up on an Avenger’s mission on short notice. Makes you feel like part of the A-squad right about now,” Luke reminded his wife when Jennifer’s conversation transitioned to Morgan again, who was now discussing what sounded a lot like a selection of mission themed snacks with another unknown male voice in the background. “Cheese puffs, cinnamon pops, sour cream and onion chips, chocolate chip cookies…” Morgan’s muffled words continued to ramble on as Jen piped in on the conversation. “Oh. Oh. Save me some of those cheese puffs,” Jen shouted over the com causing Bruce to cringe again with embarrassment. He threw out another apologetic look in Rhodey’s direction before struggling to keep things neutral in the conversation taking place. “Yeah, well if she gets any more excited and I’m probably going to knock her ass out,” Jessica groaned outwardly when there was another sound of rumbling on the other side of the communication followed by a loud crashing boom, “No offense.”

End of the Line (Bucky/Tony from the middle of the story in the middle of that chapter) “I don’t regret being there especially not now that she’s here,” Pepper noted with a shake of her head, “She has your temper especially when she’s hangry.” “Hangry?” Tony repeated with a wrinkled expression on his face, “I don’t get hangry.” “The hell you don’t,” Pepper groaned outwardly and rolled her eyes at him, “You have the worst case of hangry I’ve ever experienced not counting when Bruce’s other half is out or maybe Thor, but…” “So essentially you’re saying that our daughter likes to eat,” Tony teased poking at her side when the words rolled from his tongue feeling more foreign than anything when he allowed them to sink in.

Under Your Spell (Scott/Logan) “I won’t hurt him,” Logan promised standing up taller as he found himself filled with a new sense of hope, “Whatever happens I swear to you that I won’t hurt him Hank. I’ll find a way to avoid bringing his world crashing down when…” “Don’t make promises you can’t keep Logan,” Hank warned, “Scott’s in a very vulnerable place right now.”

Damaged (Scott/Logan) “Logan stop,” Scott had foolishly pulled away, denying his heart when his guilt had consumed him. There were so many things he should’ve said, that he should’ve done, but instead he’d given into the weight of his guilt and had said the worst possible thing imaginable. He’d offered up the truth, “Last night happened because Charles wanted it to happen. I only let things get that far because…” “No,” Logan shook his head furiously, “I don’t believe that…” “He wanted team unity and I knew that the only way to keep you at bay was to give you what you wanted,” Scott kept his back turned away from Logan, “I gave in to temptation because it was what you desired—what you needed, but for me…it…it was just…” “Just what?” Logan had questioned when Scott had done the unthinkable. “Another successful mission meant to keep you in line,” Scott had replied dismissively, with an uncharacteristic coldness before everything else that followed had felt foreign to the man he’d become. Instead of revealing the things that he’d always kept deep inside of him, he’d denied his feelings, offered up his body to Logan on the stipulation that Logan would continue to fight for Charles Xavier’s team. He’d been cold and cruel, offering himself as a tool for Logan’s compliance should Logan demand it, but what he hadn’t been able to provide the man he’d loved was his heart.

Not Tonight (Tony/Bucky) “Are you listening to me? I said empty your pockets!” “And I said no,” Tony responded slapping the gun away as the man who threatened him looked back with bewilderment behind the blue eyes that were staring at Tony beneath the mask.

And if you made it this far you’re awesome! Thanks for the adventure in guiding me to pull these together and thanks for reading to anyone who took a look at these :)

Purple from the ace flag? Pwweease?

I'm happy with WinterIron. (✿◡‿◡)

Eggplant Purple

WinterIron, T - Humor

“Tones, your phone is going off,” Rhodey says, glancing between the device on the worktable and the half-disassembled War Machine armor.

“What?” Tony calls, his voice distorted and echoing from inside the depths of the armor’s chest.

“Your phone!” Rhodey repeats more loudly, “It's making noises at me!”

Tony leans out from around the armor, wiping at his forehead and smearing grease across it as he asks, “Can you check it for me? If I let go of this bolt before it’s fully tightened there’s a small chance it might go flying.”

“Very reassuring,” Rhodey says with a roll of his eyes, dropping the armful of tools that he’s been holding for Tony onto the table so he can scoop up Tony’s phone instead. “It’s from ‘SugarPants’, who I’m going to assume is Bucky-”

“You assume correctly,” comes Tony’s echoey reply.

“-And it's- Ugh, it's just a bunch of eggplant and exclamation point emojis. Why did you make me read this?”

“Eggplants?!” Tony demands excitedly and when his head pops out from behind the suit again there’s a wide grin on his face.

“Eggplants,” Rhodey confirms seriously, “and I had to see them with my own eyes.”

“I gotta go,” Tony says as he starts to free himself from the insides of the suit, “I have been waiting for this.”

“Ew,” Rhodey says with feeling, “why am I being forced to relay your weird lazy sexting? Seriously emojis? Isn’t he a hundred years old?” His frown deepens as Tony completely ignores him, dropping tools left and right and shaking his foot free from some wires tangled around it. “I feel like you’re not appreciating how traumatized I am,” Rhodey grumbles and then raises his voice a little as he tries to point out, “We’re in the middle of something here!”

“I’ll be right back!” Tony calls, waving one hand distractedly and not looking back as he heads for the elevator.

“You are the worst!” Rhodey calls in return, “And you forgot your phone!”

Tony just grins at him as the doors close between them.

Rhodey sighs, wishing he could be surprised, and when the phone chimes in his hand again he glances at the screen before he can stop himself.

“Oh great, now there are cucumbers too. And they’re partially sliced up, what the hell does that mean?!”

-

Tony spends the elevator ride impatiently bouncing on his heels and watching the numbers count up until he finally reaches the roof. He squeezes his way out as soon as the doors start to open, excitedly shouting, “Eggplants?!”

“Eggplants!” Bucky repeats happily, the brim of his dumb, adorable gardening hat flopping as he looks up from the garden bed that he’s crouched next to.

“I can’t believe that actually came in!” Tony says as he hurries over, winding his way between the raised beds that take up a good quarter of the compound’s roof.

“I told ya we wouldn’t let the bugs win,” Bucky says, leaning over to bump their shoulders together when Tony drops down beside him. “See, we got little eggplants just starting to come in, an’ either the cucumbers are comin’ in too, or the plant has a tumor, I’m not sure.”

Tony laughs, and then reaches over to swipe his thumb over a smear of dirt of Bucky’s cheek as he says, "You have dirt on your face, again."

"Well you have grease on your face, like always," Bucky returns with a grin, and then leans in to kiss him.

“So,” Tony says when they break apart, looking back at the plants nearly spilling out of the bed, “when do you think I can throw these in one of my shakes?”

“I told you, we’re cooking with them,” Bucky protests with a laugh, bumping their shoulders together again.

(this one goes out to my asexuals. and my gardeners. 🍆🥒)

FIC REC WEEK 2 – WINTERIRON FAVORITES

odour of peace by Potrix

Pairing: Bucky/Tony Rating: T Words: 874 Tags: A/B/O, Scenting, Hurt/Comfort

Summary: As a Beta, Steve might be able to read Bucky’s body language, but he can’t smell the sour, panicked scent basically rolling off of him, growing stronger and thicker by the second. Tony can, though, and he doesn’t even think before he moves closer to Barnes, led by basic instinct more than anything else. He ignores Steve’s concerned, “Tony,” as he comes to a stop only inches away from Barnes, and waits until Barnes meets his eyes before he bares his neck in invitation.

Reasons why I love it: Short and sweet, this fic is one that I always return to for a little pick-me-up. Bucky getting the comfort he deserves just warms my heart, especially when it's Tony offering it. Throw in some A/B/O dynamics and I'm a goner. A wonderful fic, definitely check it out!

Pretending by cagestark

Pairing: Bucky/Tony Rating: E Words: 3,075 Tags: Female!Tony, Drunk Sex, Friends With Benefits

Summary: Bucky takes care of drunken Toni's every last need.

Reasons why I love it: This fic just makes me so goddamn soft. Bucky is so whipped for Toni, and it's honestly adorable. Plus, the smut and the humor throughout are absolutely superb. I love this fic to death, and I bet you will too, so please give it a read!

Fate Strings Not Required by Akira_of_the_Twilight

Pairing: Bucky/Tony Rating: T Words: 7,032 Tags: Soulmates, Bodyguard Bucky, Meet Cute

Summary: “Hey doll,” a new voice said from Tony’s side. Tony glanced at the person approaching. Someone was working the rugged, bad boy look. The new guy rocked a leather jacket and blue jeans. His blue eyes lit up with joy as he approached Tony. “Something wrong here?” The new guy gave the first guy--the one insisting he was Tony's soul mate--a once over then turned his full attention on Tony. “You’re looking a little stressed, anything I can do?” Tony took the hint. Tony wrapped his hand around the new guy’s elbow. He kept his touch light and breakable in case he’d misread the cue. “Just some guy claiming to be my soul mate, babe.” The new guy’s eyebrows rose to his hairline in surprise. He chuckled and gave the first guy a smirk. “Strange. Last time I checked we were soul mates.”

Reasons why I love it: I'm a sucker for soulmate fics, and this one is no exception. Give me all the meet-cute, protective Bucky and little shit Tony shenanigans! One little warning though that Tony is underage when he starts dating Bucky, but they wait until he's of age for any below the belt touching. If that's not a squick for you, I'm sure you'll love this fic as much as I do!

Shameless by Finely Honed (jaqen_hgar)

Pairing: Bucky/Tony Rating: M Words: 2,570 Tags: Flirting, Sexual Tension, Lust at First Sight

Summary: Prompt: imagine Tony and Bucky flirting everywhere, in the tower, out fighting random bad guy of the day over the coms, even out in public. it started as a game to see who could get the other to blush or fluster first but it dissolved into shameless flirting quickly. eventually it's Bucky who cracks first, pushing Tony up against a wall, kissing the living daylights out of him and using that super soldier strength to pick Tony up to hold against the wall. bonus if Clint walks in on them. Tony isn’t actually sure which of them starts it—he’d like to take credit, but if he’s learned anything it’s that Barnes is by no means a wilting flower. Besides, the start doesn’t matter as much as figuring out who’s going to actually finish it.

Reasons why I love it: Bucky and Tony engaging in a battle of wills about who's gonna crack first under the pressure of constant flirting? Hell fucking yes. Poor Clint being traumatized is just the icing on the cake. I love this fic so much, definitely give it a read if you like light-hearted fun!

Paths Are Made by Walking by Potrix

Pairing: Bucky/Tony Rating: T Words: 4,744 Tags: Getting Together, Pining, Protective Bucky

Summary: The road to recovery is long, winding and a different one for every person walking it. Bucky chooses to help himself the only way he knows how; by doing what he does best. Or, alternatively; the one in which Tony is a mess and accidentally kick-starts Bucky’s protective mother hen instincts.

Reasons why I love it: I have a soft spot for Bucky being a motherhen and making Tony take better care of himself. This fic embodies all of that for me. And the pining is so sweet, it makes my teeth ache. A wonderful fic that I'd recommend to anyone who likes these boys being idiots in love!

New Year Countdown: Dec 13

Today's fic is a hospital AU featuring established Winteriron and many medical inaccuracies!

Dec 13 - Winteriron - Hospital AU - Blanket

Most of the year, Bucky loved his job. He loved helping people. People came to him hurting and in despair and he did everything in his power to make them feel better. Whole again, or at least closer to it than before.

It was never easy to see people who’d lost limbs in a terrible accident or because of an infection. But when they saw his own prosthetic arm, when they heard his story, they knew that he understood, at least a little, what they were going through. They let him convince them that life was still worth living, that it could still be beautiful, and he loved that. He loved the moment when his patients realized they could use their new prosthetics to do things that they’d had to work around, before.

And he especially loved working with Tony. His husband’s genius not only provided limbs that were nearly as functional as living ones, but also ensured that each prosthetic exactly matched the personalities and desires of the patient, from the girl who wanted a sparkling pink unicorn princess arm to the emo teenager who demanded a gothic black leg that ended in a spike rather than a foot to the older woman whose new hand was a perfect match her china pattern.

He loved seeing Tony throughout the day, sneaking kisses between rounds, and he especially loved going home with Tony at night.

All in all, Bucky’s life was just about perfect.

But this time of year, during the holidays, the hard parts were especially hard. People who should have been comfortably nestled with their families were confined to sterile hospital beds. They should have been drinking cocoa and wrapping gifts and lighting candles, but were instead doing occupational therapy. Money that might have been spent on presents and feasting was torn away for medical bills. Vacations that should have relaxed and soothed their stress were replaced with the shock and horror and despair of trying to adjust to a life that would never again be exactly the same.

And the icy, extra-crowded streets just made accidents all the more likely.

“I hate this job,” he announced when he came through the door. Usually he and Tony left the hospital together, but an ambulance had screamed through the emergency entrance just as they were packing up for the night, and Bucky had volunteered to stick around in case he was needed.

Tony stuck his head out of the kitchen door and gave Bucky a small, lopsided smile. “No, you don’t,” he said.

“I hate it tonight,” Bucky grumbled. He unwound his scarf and unbuttoned his coat and kicked off his shoes. 

“That’s fair, I suppose,” Tony admitted.

“I had to tell a woman we couldn’t save her arm. And her husband is probably going to have scars that will limit his mobility for the rest of his life. They were on their way to spend the holidays with his family. It’s their first Christmas since they got married, and they’re going to spend it in the hospital. Not even in the same room.” Bucky hung up his coat and threw himself on the couch, dropping his arm over his face.

Tony came the rest of the way out of the kitchen carrying a tray with two mugs of hot chocolate. He was wearing pajamas. “I know,” he said. “Nat called right after you left.” He set the tray on the coffee table and sat next to Bucky, close enough for the heat of his body to leach through their clothes into Bucky’s skin. Tony pulled Bucky’s favorite blanket off the back of the couch, soft grey and decorated with stars, and spread it over their laps.

Bucky let himself be pulled into Tony’s embrace, taking the mug to wrap his hands around its heat and resting his head on Tony’s shoulder, even if he had to scrunch down a bit to make it work. “I’m not sleeping tonight,” he warned Tony.

“That’s okay, snowflake,” Tony murmured. “We can put on a stupid movie and stay here for as long as you want.”

“I hate my job,” Bucky said again, softer. Not really meaning it.

“I know,” Tony agreed gently. “That’s fine, tonight.”

Bucky relaxed into the feel of Tony’s fingers combing through his hair. Maybe he didn’t always love his job.

But he always, always loved Tony.

There Would Be No Courage Were It Not For Hope

This is a fill for today’s  @flashfictionfridayofficial​ prompt  [#FFF207 Can We Kiss?]  as well as  the final WinterIron Pride Prompt Party prompt - Day 30: Hope. 

Fandom:  MCU/Marvel Pairing: Bucky Barnes/Tony Stark Rating: General Tags:  Pride, Parade Floats, pining, hope, love confessions

Part of Bucky still didn’t quite believe this was possible.   It had been beaten into his brain  (and his body) when he was younger that men weren’t allowed to be attracted to men.   But now, in this new century,  things had changed.  Or at least, they were changing.  

There was now an entire month dedicated to celebrating queerness - people who defy expectation and categorization.   There were parties and parades,  film festivals and so much visibility over all.   And it was all wonderfully colorful and exciting and hopeful.  

Bucky heard Tony talking about  the Stark Industries  float in the  New York City Pride Parade and asked if he could get a sneak peek.   Tony in turn seemed a little caught off guard by the question, but was more than happy to arrange a tour.   “Would you maybe be able to come too?”  Bucky asked, feeling his cheeks heat.  

“Um, sure, I can make some time,” Tony had replied to Bucky’s request.   The two of them had built a friendship over the past few months, and  Bucky in turn had managed to develop a crush on his  handsome, brilliant, kind and funny companion, who was also out and proud pansexual who flirted like breathing.   He had been the second person Bucky came out to – Steve had known that Bucky liked fellas and gals since the 1930’s – and while Tony  had been amazingly supportive,  Bucky still didn’t dare do more than hope that maybe, someday, he might possibly have a chance with him.

The next day, they drove way up into Jersey, past Newark into an industrial district near Clifton.  “This guy is the best,” Tony explained  “he and his people have  been making floats for Pride since the 70’s.”

The owner himself came out to greet them when they arrived.  After Tony made the introductions, Mister DeVito brought them over to show off his work.  “Matter of fact,” he said,  “we were just gonna go run her around the block a bit. Make sure she steers good and nothin’ falls off.  Wanna go for a ride?”

“Sure!” they both exclaimed, practically in unison. They climbed an interior ladder to the top of the SI float, accompanied by one of the workers, who put safety harnesses on them.  “This isn’t the first time I wore a harness at Pride,” Tony joked, “but I usually don’t have this much on underneath it.”

As they pulled out of the warehouse, several of the workers were waiting,  waving and cheering at them.   They responded in kind, with Tony saying, “I feel like we should be doing something a bit more flamboyant.”

“Can we kiss?”  the words spilled out of Bucky before he had a chance to stop them.  

A surprised expression flashed over Tony’s face, replaced by a speculative look.  “If you want to, sure.”

“Yeah, I do,” Bucky replied, heart in his throat.  “Been wanting to for awhile.”  

Tony smiled softly.  “Then let’s make that happen, sunshine.”
