    Summary

    Bucky is eighteen, not stupid, so he shakes his head.

    “No thanks, fella,” he says.

    “I didn’t know you smoked,” the man says.

    It’s such a funny thing to say that Bucky pauses, frowning. In between his fingers is the thin white cylinder, its ends neatly trimmed.

    “You don’t know me,” he says.

    “Maybe,” the man says. His voice is deep in a way that Bucky can’t catch, but can swallow. It rattles into him, a tenor so low it makes his jaw ache, warms him in the chilled night air. “I thought I did, once.”

    (Every five years, Bucky meets the same tall, blond stranger.)

    Summary

    “You’ve got war in your heart boy,” Howard sneers, “don’t ever try and pretend to be anything but what you are.”

    Tony feels the familiar burn of a flower mark being etched into his skin but he doesn’t look, doesn’t try and check to see what it is. Instead he keeps his eyes on Howard and his hands cupped around his bleeding mouth and nose.

    Summary

    But at the core, he’s the same brand of poor little rich guy that dot the shadowed corners of every charity gala, every award function. Sure, maybe it comes in a ‘genius billionaire playboy philanthropist’ package…but his mettle is common iron. A drop of sea water, a dash of air, and he’d rust right through.

     

    She, on the other hand, is made of better stuff.

     

    In which Tony compares people to weird things, Steph recites poetry and two dorks fall in love.
