OMG I just saw your post and since I'm still OBSESSED with Heart of Steel, do you have any HCs about Prince Anthony being a protective/awesome big brother?
Anthony was nowhere near as protective of Princess Y/N as Bucky ever was
He knew that with Bucky watching over her, he wouldn’t have to worry too much about her
In fact, Tony was more one to tease her and push her
(In his mind, he thought it would only build her metal and emotional strength to lead a life of royalty and great responsibility)
Tough Love is Anthony’s way
Tony has never been one for sympathy
But he did encourage her to push for her independence
He wasn’t an idiot. He saw how much more privilege he got as the Prince of Zamora... and as a man
It often made him guilty when he saw how much backlash Y/N would get from their parents and the kingdom when she even barely stepped out of line
Tony only got protective when Y/N wasn’t there to witness it
There were a handful of times when Tony overheard visiting royalty or men of the court say something...untoward... about his baby sister
While he couldn’t physically fight them... he would use his high intellect and clever wit to put them in their place and make it clear that anyone who talked about Y/N would deeply regret it
Behind closed doors, Anthony made sure his father saw reason when it was time to arrange Y/N’s marriage
He knew he couldn’t save his sister from marriage, but he tried his best to make sure she received a husband who respected her and took care of her
