Winter Soldier Bucky falls for Tony who he was supposed to kill.
"You thawed my frozen heart and made me feel alive again"
…not me plotting that Thunderbolts* Avengers (2012) crossover time travel flash forward fic with BuckTony because Bucky is so broken but also mostly healed by Thunderbolts* he resignedly confesses to Tony’s snarky, “Well what about you, One-Armed Wonder? What’s your tragic backstory?” (After the team has done their bitchy trauma dump on the Avengers to try and get 2012’s team’s heads out of their asses) and Bucky just sighs.
“Well, I was captured and experimented on by HYDRA for 70+ years and used as their top assassin. They called me The Winter Solider.” At this, Natasha gasps and flinches back. The arm was all wrong, he didn’t have the gear or the mask, but now she can see it. “And on HYDRA’s orders, I killed Howard and Maria Stark.”
So the reveal is out long before Steve could ever find out and hide it, preventing Civil War, Tony has to process this fifteen+ years in the future, and when he goes back to 2012 it changes how the team tackles saving Bucky from HYDRA and opens the door to the inevitable BuckTony.

Bucky: HELP! I told Tony I’d cook dinner tonight. But, I can’t cook!
Steve, pouring milk directly into the cereal bag: And you thought I could help?
BuckTony Becoming Cat Dads
A/N: Hey there, guys, time for some mid-afternoon headcanons, it seems. I was in the middle of writing Lightning, but then I really just wanted some Bucky and Tony fluff and thought there was no better way than imagining them as cat dads because they definitely would be 😌😌😌 Anyways, so here we go, and I hope you enjoy!!
The decision came randomly one night, when Bucky was out late and Tony was complaining that the house gets way too lonely without Bucky there with him.
Being Bucky’s boyfriend, Tony had gotten used to almost never being alone. Unless, of course, Bucky decided to have a night out with Steve and Sam that Tony apparently wasn’t invited to.
Bucky had chuckled softly and kissed his forehead as he took his jacket off. “I’m sorry, sweetheart. Maybe we can just get a little puppy or something, then he can keep you company when I’m not around so that you don’t have to feel so lonely anymore.” There was a sarcastic edge to his tone and he was mostly joking, but it was also something he had been thinking a lot about recently.
Tony stayed quiet for a moment, thinking, before saying. “What if we got a kitten?” Bucky stopped what he was doing as he turned back around to look at Tony, who was turned on the couch to be able to peer back at him. “You mean like...actually get a pet?”
Tony grinned as he heard the barely bit back excitement hidden in Bucky’s voice. Now there was no way he could say no. “I mean, yeah, babe. If you seriously want to.”
He got up and walked over to Bucky, taking his hands in his. “Let’s get a fur baby, baby.” Bucky’s whole face lights up with excitement and he wraps his arms around Tony, pulling him close and kissing all over his face.
“Yes!” He said, and Tony smiled at him fondly, grabbing the back of Bucky’s neck gently and pushing their foreheads together. What they both knew but wouldn’t dare say out loud is that part of the excitement of this moment is that it was another step forward. Another reassurance that they were in this for the long run. If they went through with this, they would be tied together even more so than before, and they wouldn’t have it any other way.
It was about a week later, at a nearby pet store, that they found her.
Bucky and Tony had been to a different store a few days earlier, but none of the little ones really caught their eye, there wasn’t really any connection.
But the both of them had a good feeling about this place. A worker led them back to where all of the kittens were, allowing them to take a look around. A couple of the less shy ones ran up to them and pawed at their legs or rolled onto their back for a tummy rub.
Bucky crouched down and picked up a mouse toy with a feather on the end, waving it in front of one of them and catching their attention as they pounced at the toy. Bucky laughed softly as he played with them. Tony watched, smiling happily at his boyfriend. Then something behind Bucky caught his eye.
Tony turned around and saw that Bucky was keeping his metal arm behind his back. He didn’t want to accidentally hurt any of the kittens with it. But then there was a little all white kitten up on their hind legs, grabbing hold of Bucky’s black and gold hand, trying to chew on the metal fingers.
Bucky looked beside him as he saw Tony kneel down and reach behind him, just now noticing the feel of tiny paws on his back. “Hmm?”
Tony picked up the little kitten and sat down criss-cross, holding the little ball of fur in his lap. Bucky sat beside him, smiling. Tony smiled as the kitten nipped at his fingers playfully and clung to his hand. “This little one was trying to attach themselves to your left arm there, babe.” He told Bucky
The worker who was back there with them walked over and saw the kitten they were with. “That’s Alpine. She’s been with us for a few weeks. She doesn’t really warm up to people like that. She’s social with the other kittens, but doesn’t seem to have much trust with other humans. The ones that dropped her off said that she had been through a lot in her first few months. But it seems like she definitely likes you two.”
Bucky and Tony shared a look as Alpine tried to climb up onto Bucky’s shoulder. “We’ll take her.” They stated at the same time, grinning at each other. Bucky looked down at Alpine and helped her up onto his shoulder and she made a small noise at him, leaning over to lick his cheek. Tony chuckled and reached up to scratch her head gently.
They spent the rest of the afternoon completing the adoption process and spoiling their new little companion. They bought everything she needed. A cat carrier, bowls, litter box, bed, toys, collar, tags, even a leash in case it was ever needed. And then a few extras like a scratching post and a cat tree.
They headed home, Bucky driving as Tony held the carrier she was in, in his lap. About halfway home, Bucky called the vet and set up an appointment to get her a checkup and any needed vaccinations at her current age.
They got home and got everything inside, keeping her in the carrier until they at least had her litter box, bed, and food and water bowls set up. As soon as they took her out and set her down in the middle of the living room, she was running around, exploring her new home.
They followed her around for a little while, just to make sure that everything she shouldn’t get into was out of her reach, before heading back into the living room to get everything else put together or put away.
Tony was getting her tags attached to her collar while Bucky was putting together the cat tree when Alpine was suddenly on Tony’s back, climbing up to his shoulder and nipping at his ear.
Tony smiled and scooped her up into his arms, rubbing under her chin. “Hey there, little one. You’re just in time. I just finished up your collar.” She meowed at him as he looped the collar around her neck and snapped it together, making sure it wasn’t too tight on her.
Alpine shook her head, making the bell and metal tags jingle together, which made her roll over on Tony’s lap as she tried to paw at where the sound was coming from.
Tony and Bucky chuckled and cooed at her, Bucky leaning over to kiss the side of Tony’s head before leaning down and kissing the top of Alpine’s head.
Tony looked over at Bucky as Alpine got down to go play and explore some more and smiled at him, his eyes shining with love and affection and happiness. “I love you so much. You make me so happy.”
Bucky matched the look in his lover’s eyes, tears of joy springing up that he tried to blink away. “The same to you, my love. I never thought I could ever be this happy. Have such an amazing life.” He pressed their foreheads together. “But you proved me wrong. I love you so much.”
Tony grabbed Bucky’s hands and twined their fingers together, leaning forward and kissing his beautiful boyfriend full of love. Bucky returned the loving kiss, squeezing Tony’s hands gently. They pulled back after a moment, foreheads still together, looking into each other’s eyes. Neither of them could stop smiling.
Suddenly their attention was grabbed by a small meow of distress coming from beside them. They turned and laughed as they saw Alpine hanging off the side of the coffee table, trying to climb all the way on top of it but not finding a good grip to do so, so she was instead stuck there, seeming to be too afraid of the half foot drop back to the ground.
Bucky grabbed hold of her and gently pried her paws off of the table, lifting her up and holding her above his head, bringing her back down to rub his nose on hers gently and she made a noise at him and pawed at his face.
Bucky leaned back on the couch and set her down on his chest where she curled up and closed her eyes, purring happily as Tony rested his head on Bucky’s shoulder, Bucky’s arm going across the back of the couch behind Tony. And there they stayed into the evening, now a little family, happier than any of them had ever dreamed they would be.
A/N: How was this, guys?? I loved writing this so much, I literally love these two together with my whole heart. And Alpine, of course. 💜 Let me know what you guys think, all comments and feedback are very much appreciated. What else would you like to see? More headcanons? More Bucky x Tony content? If you have any requests or suggestions for anything at all, one-shots, drabbles, headcanons, just let me know, please!!

me writing fluff: urm so yeah, they kissed.
me writing angst: his dad always told him he was a wuss. his mom said there’s something about him that made the angels carve him out of cotton; heart pure as the white of first snow that touches the earth and soft like a baby’s breath. he get’s it. he’s sensitive. it’s fine. he can deal with it. but not so much when those words cut his chords and he’s left hanging on a thread - slipping, slipping and falling and this time, he knows, that just like all the other times, that there will be no one down there to catch him. he’s a lone man. been a lone man for a long, long time. no matter how white or soft his heart is, it’s mean to be broken over and over and he just hopes that this time around, the scar won’t be so big and prominent
another potential title: The Way You Wear It
this would probably be something involving buckytony (or rhodeytony) and military dress blues
ACTUALLY WAIT NO ABORT
so 1940s era where toni is still howard's daughter but his 19 year old daughter during World War 2 who's just perfect for the SSR movement
Howard (who is good for once) begrudgingly lets his daughter join the warforce, under Peggy and it leads to her meeting James Buchanan Barnes of the 107th Regiment
now she's used to seeing him in trench -wear with grime on his skin and a rifle strapped to his back
they get the odd night off in London, and he asks her out dancing and holy fuck that's not trench wear
he's in military blues (because they're his only clean clothes) and they're stitched within an inch of his skin and the full force of him takes her breath away
"Cat got your tongue doll?" he asks, smirking because she can't take his eyes off him and she reaches out and runs her fingers against the ripples of his arms, not even protesting when he pulls her in by her waist and his fingers ghost the edge of her dress
"if i knew that you looked so good sergeant," she whispers in his ear, "i would never let you out of my bed"
send me titles and i'll tell you what fic i would write for it
