***Some Kind of Personal War by sara_holmes
And Tony realizes that working out who the Winter Soldier used to be and who he is now are two entirely different things.
***I’ll Draw this Line (and hope you take my side.) by sara_holmes
Steve Rogers is the Winter Soldier. He has his missions, he had his orders, he has his place in the world. If people would just stop reminding him about that time he was Captain America, it would be a lot easier to stay in that damn place.
Learning Curve by picturecat
Freshly defrosted, Steve Rogers is the newest teacher at the Avengers Academy—an attempt to guide and teach the newest generation of heroes before they have to take on the burdens of their teachers. Steve himself has a lot of learning to do.
In The Meantime, In Between Time by nativemossy
Steve was born sickly, and by all realistic means he should have been dead. But he wasn’t, and that was precisely the problem.
He had been born a month and a half early, with asthma, a heart condition, and an irregularly bent spine, to begin with. That was followed by a bout of scarlet fever when he was eight, and a brush with death from rheumatic fever in his teens. These were interspersed with summer colds and winter flus, sometimes twice yearly. Into adulthood he had frequent stomach ulcers, and a case of pernicious anemia that required him to spend a significant portion of the little money he made on discounted liver at the butchers shop. Had anyone else had his cocktail of illness, they would be dead several times over.
Love me tinder. by captainstars
Anthony decides to set up a Tinder profile for his Dad. Greg Helps.
Or
“You’ve been busy, I had to take matters into my own hands.” Anthony told him. “I don’t want you to die old and alone dad. Or become grumpy like Jarvis.”
“Why would I die alone when I have you to keep me company.” Tony pouted.
“It’s important to hang out with people your own age. Or at least that’s what my homeroom teacher has been telling me.” Anthony informed him, kicking a socked foot up.
so you could be king by mmtion
Tony is the rock star trying to regain the public’s favour after his latest drug-induced disaster. Steve is the up-and-coming country music sensation, in over his head. Both of them are desperate.
Slut Era by BladeoftheNebula
Tony never meant to become the campus bicycle but since that was apparently what was expected of him he figured it was easier just to lean into it.
He just never expected Steve Rogers would ever want to take a ride.
Good Things to Those Who Wait by Annie D (scaramouche)
Tony assumed that after he and Steve got together, his heats would be more fun. He’s right, but he’s also wrong.
May This Be Love by lellabeth
Today will be a good day.
He’ll nod and he’ll smile and he’ll speak, and his voice won’t shake and his lips won’t tremble.
He’ll do well with the customers, he won’t hide behind the sleek chrome of the coffee machine.
He’ll pretend he doesn’t feel rubbed raw, doesn’t feel like a trapped nerve, doesn’t feel like his skin is too small and he’s about to burst out of it.
Today will be a good day.
Reasons To Be Thankful by WilmaKins
Well, an awkward reunion with the family is traditional at Thanksgiving.
So, it’s probably as good a time as any for Tony to make his peace with the rest of Steve’s team…
Indestructible Things by mechanicaljewel
Steve shows Tony a new use for the shield.
A Late-Night Snack, and Other Good Ideas by Annie D (scaramouche)
Steve’s heightened senses means that he always knows when Tony’s in heat. One night, he finally does something about it.
Love Is A Masquerade by Mizzy
When the Avengers are invited to attend Tony Stark’s Annual Masquerade Ball, Steve’s hoping Iron Man will be there–after all, he can wear a mask and keep his identity secret. So when Steve recognizes Iron Man’s distinctive thighs, Steve is SO sure he’s found Iron Man’s pilot… He’s right, but not in a way Steve would ever have guessed…
***The Anniversary by nightwalker
Tony’s not as bad at this relationship thing as he thinks he is. That’s not to say he’s exactly good at it either.
****Never Too Late for Love by Sineala
Steve has always believed that a soulbond is a blessing – a rare and beautiful miracle, joining the thoughts and feelings of two people forever, from the first time they touch. Steve knows he’s not going to be one of the lucky ones. He knows Gail isn’t his soulmate. But he loves her, even if they’re not soulmates, and he’s going to do right by her. After the war’s over, he’s going to marry her, and they’re going to settle down. They’ll buy a house. They’ll have children. He’ll see his family again. Maybe Bucky will live next door. It’s going to be a good life. He doesn’t need a soulbond. He’ll be fine without one.
Then Steve wakes up sixty years in the future to find that his wonderful life has moved on without him. His family is long dead. His fiancée married his best friend. And the only purpose he has left is leading the Ultimates, a misbegotten team of superheroes with flaws too numerous to count. Steve hates everything about the future – but most of all he detests Tony, flashy and flirtatious, who embodies everything Steve hates about a world he never wanted to live in.
And, oh, yeah, Steve has a soulmate after all: Tony fucking Stark.
