    Summary

    Sam can’t help but roll his eyes. Take the boys out of New York but they’re still Brooklyn Catholics, that’s clear enough. Bucky catches the gesture, smirks hard enough Sam can see his eye teeth. It should be dangerous but he’s beautiful, pale and charming and recklessly easy.

    “You wanna come in?” Sam asks, ignoring the noise Steve makes, and Bucky’s smile gets wider.

    “Yeah,” he says. Steps up close to Sam. “I do.”

    Summary

    Tony laughs as he settles back against the bench. “I came out here ‘cause Rogers is best in a fight, always knows just how to finish them. But he’s a poor negotiator.”

    “We in some sort of trouble that needs negotiating?” Bucky asks.

    He can see Tony’s smile in the slow way it comes to meet his eyes. “Yeah, Buck. You are.”

    Summary

    The thing is, despite what others may think and believe and assume, Tony is unhappy.

    He has a lovely husband, yes, who spends all of his waking hours at the office instead of at home with his family. He has two children who look at him like he can fix everything in their world, yet they feel Steve's absence more and more each day, and Tony doesn't know how to fix that. And then, Tony meets Natasha Romanoff, one of Steve's colleagues, and he starts to realise exactly why his husband prefers not to come home anymore.

    Despite this, Tony loves Steve, loves him enough that he's willing to ignore any indiscretions, if it means that his family will stay together and whole.

    But when Tony's first love, James, also known as the most terrifyingly competent mass murderer in the world, the Winter Soldier, shows up after almost a decade, asking for his help to fight a terrorist organisation that Tony knows all too well, suddenly, keeping his family together and whole isn't as easy as he thought it would be, when it was just him who had to suffer.

    Now, he's torn between the man that left but came back to him and the man who loves him but maybe not enough.

    Summary

    Life isn’t a fairytale, Bucky isn’t the roguish yet lovable protagonist, and Tony definitely isn’t his Prince Charming.

    No, in reality, Bucky takes his clothes off for money, and Tony is just another customer. The fact that they keep falling into bed together proves nothing, and a candle in the middle of the table doesn’t automatically make a dinner a date.

    Bucky doesn’t get that lucky, this isn’t some cheesy rom-com, and real life doesn’t work like that.

    Right?

    Summary

    Bucky eyes himself and the mirror and wonders, once again, how he got himself talked into this. And why he is still going after common sense set in afterwards. The answer to both questions is easy. Natasha. It's always Natasha these days. And he used to think Steve was bad. (The world is in trouble when those two finally meet.) That isn't the point though. The point is that he is about to go on a date. A blind date. A blind date with a potential dom. Which is sure to end in disaster, no matter what he has been reassured otherwise. Because every date and every attempt since he has been discharged has ended in a disaster of one form or another, so he's not exactly reaching here. Why will this Tony be any different?
