    Summary

    Brock Rumlow blinked, caught off guard from where he was standing in the middle of Steve’s doorway. He was looking at Bucky like he was seeing a ghost.

    Steve was oblivious. “Bucky, this is Brock. He works with me at SHIELD. Brock… I assume you know who he is.”

    Bucky grinned sharklike from his place at the kitchen table. He even went as far as to wave his metal fingers at Brock. He hoped the violence playing out in his mind wasn’t as visible to Steve as it was to Brock.

    “You’re… Bucky Barnes.”

    ***

    Much later Brock Rumlow sat in his chair in his crappy SHIELD apartment and wanted to scream.

    Steve Rogers introducing them to each other, what a laugh. As if Brock didn’t know.

    He was hit with a thought. Steve Rogers didn’t know who was in his apartment. Cause that certainly was not his old pal, his buddy, his Bucky.

    That was the Winter Soldier playing house.

    Summary

    Pepper obliges with, "This is James, my date for the evening."

    "James Barnes," says Bucky, holding out the hand that Pepper could have sworn had been full of butterflied shrimp only seconds before. "Pleased to meet you, sir. Ma'am."

    Summary

    In 1925, Howard and Maria Stark have a son—a child born into a world that doesn’t quite know what to do with him.

    By 1942, Tony Stark is an unbonded Omega lost in the noise of war, family expectations, and his own restless mind. It's by chance that he meets Steve Rogers—a scrappy artist with an unshakable moral compass—and Bucky Barnes, a charismatic force of nature who helps piece Tony back together.

    **

    Or:

    Tony Stark growing up in the 1940s. Accidentally turning his best friend into a super soldier and falling hopelessly in love with Brooklyn’s most incorrigible flirt.

    WinterIron. A/B/O.

    Summary

    “Those trigger words,” interrupted Nat, speaking over Steve, “are conditioned into his psyche. And conditioning can be broken."

    --

    After the massive fallout of Civil War, Steve and his team retreat to a secret base. Bucky is with them, and they aren't completely sure what to do with him, to be honest; they can't risk him on missions, not really, until he beats the trigger words conditioned into his brain. Nat has an idea.

    It all goes pretty much OK, until Steve gets a late-night drunk dial from Tony.
