   Summary

   Tony Stark is an alpha conditioned not to submit.

   After a breakup with his abusive ex, Tony offers Bucky, freshly deprogrammed from Hydra, space in his tower to recalibrate to the outside world.

   Or: the one where Tony hates being submissive, and Bucky is clueless on gender politics.
