Bucky/Steve/Tony
24,421 words
Tony knows what the team really thinks of him. It's a delicate balance: they tolerate him because of his money and his toys, and he gets to stay on the team and fight with them. He's okay with that. So long as he hides the fact that Steve's and Bucky's names are written on his skin in the most embarrassing act of one-sided love affection ever, everything will be fine.
It just figures that a fantastically stupid villain, a kidnapping plot and a video camera will bring Tony's well-kept secret out into the open.

Every child is born with two marks, one from their mother and one from their father. They say that each mark represents a lesson your soulmates will teach you, that you can gain more and more as you go through life.
Tony was born with four. They said he was destined for greatness.
If this is what greatness looks like then Tony doesn't want it.

Tony swept his gaze over the jacket. It was well used, heavily worn down, but not in a bad way. The fabric felt softened over years of use, and the slight discolorations seemed to suit it. Tony could see the marks left over from the previous owners. A small patch, sewn perfectly in neat little stiches on the inside breast pocket screamed of Steve’s steady hands, while the fraying on tails remained as evidence of Bucky’s impatient tugging.
Or, Steve and Bucky gift Tony with their jacket that survived from the 1940's.
Turns out that wasn't the only thing that survived.

In an alternate universe, Tony Stark never came out as Iron Man, even to his teammates. Sometime after CA:WS, Bucky comes to the tower, regains his memory, and rekindles his relationship with Steve.
A year later, Steve and Bucky realize neither of them have ever had sex with anyone else, and they probably won’t if they keep their relationship monogamous. When they decide they want to explore, Bucky decides to ask Tony for a one night stand, and Steve decides to ask Iron Man. Both of them bite off more than they can chew, as they both discover that they’re in love with their extracurricular lover - while still being madly in love with each other. Tony just hopes it’s all worth it, because if they ever find out it was him with both of them, he’s pretty sure they’ll never want to see him again.

Tony likes to think he doesn't lie to himself, if not the rest of the world. So he knows that his insecurities are pretty much as textbook as they get. Abusive father, absent mother, misunderstood by his peers, almost murdered by that asshole. Yeah, it's pretty obvious why he shies away from emotional fucking honesty with anyone other than, you know, Pepper. That one time. Which had just such a great ending. Ugh.
When he finally gets over himself and accepts that Steve might be good, might be a good thing, a thing that he could possibly maybe actually deserve here, it should surprise him that Bucky fucking Barnes is recovered. It doesn't.

In From the Cold – NotEvenCloseToStraight
Bucky/Steve/Tony
90,386 words
Tony has been cold since Siberia, his heart broken from betrayal, soul shattered with the reminder that he wasn't meant for love, and Soul Mark empty after Steve chose Bucky over him.
Steve has been cold since the Valkyrie went down, his heart torn between missing Bucky and loving Tony, soul weary with the weight of grief, and Soul Mark aching after Siberia and watching his soulmates fight each other.
Bucky has been cold since he fell, his heart iced over with decades of pain, his soul barely intact enough to register a loved one, and Soul Mark only half filled in because even with Steve back in his life, some one is still missing from his (their) arms.
But first, Stucky has to come home and Tony has to put the whiskey down. They have to deal with Siberia, with hard truths and harder apologies. They have to learn to tell the whole truth and realize that despite entwined lives and decades of history, none of them are whole without the other.
Three Soulmates, three Soul Marks, three hearts desperate to come In From the Cold and find somewhere warm to rest.

Steve Rogers is not a typical Dom and Bucky is a Switch choosing to submit for his Captain. Together they have a love that breaks rules and flaunts expectations, and when they see a beautiful sub being mistreated by his Dom, Bucky and Steve break another rule and interfere.
Tony is a sub bound to Old World protocol-- seen but not heard, there for Ty's pleasure alone, regarded as half a person without his Dom--and Tony thinks that life is normal.
Or at least, he thinks its normal until he meets Bucky and Steve.
Bucky has more freedom than Tony could imagine and Steve's only wish as Dom is to take care of his subs, and when both Dom and Switch fall for Tony, they make it clear there's room for him in their arms and hearts.
First they have to deal with Ty though, first they have to free Tony from an abusive Dom and a history of hurt, and that won't be easy.
But Tony's ready. He's ready to move on and reclaim his life, ready to take a chance on something new, and ready to learn the beauty of willing submission with Bucky, and the truth of a caring Dom in Steve.

Tony couldn’t honestly remember how long it had been like this. Probably since the day he’d called T’Challa and offered his help. At first it had just been compulsive self-denial: you can’t eat until you’ve drafted your opening remarks, until you’ve finished your research, until you’ve rewritten every last colon and comma and apostrophe in those Accords so that everyone can come home.
Those goals had been realistic. Lately, they’d become impossible. Until everyone forgives you. Until you forgive yourself. Until you make up for every bad thing you’ve ever caused.
He was fine. He was coasting in a dangerous place, but he was fine. He wasn't taking it too far - just far enough.

Tony Stark is not at all bitter about being a submissive. Not at all. Why should he be? Sure, his whole life has been one shit show after another, because he is a sub, but why would he be bitter about it? No. Reason. At All.
Then he meets "The Avengers" a group of people helping abused subs. They are good people. Even the two Doms working there.
Not that Tony notices them or anything. They might look like they fell right out of his dreams, but it's not like he is interested, you know.
And who would ever want someone as broken as him?

Tony sighed. “Why do you care?”
Steve’s mouth twisted unhappily. “I hope that’s the fever talking.” He stepped closer. “When I get home,” he said, so quietly that Tony didn’t think even the nosiest of their nosy friends could hear it, “we’re going to talk, all right? Until then, please let Bucky look after you. Consider it me looking after you, through him.”

Steve backs him up until Tony’s shoulders hit the closest wall, and hoists him up, giving Tony no choice but to wrap his legs around Steve’s waist for support. Tony bites Steve’s bottom lip, hard enough to draw blood, and Steve growls, and grips both of Tony’s wrists in one big hand, his hold bruisingly tight.

All these years he’d wondered, that little childish part of him that loved his mother’s stories, what his soulmate was going to be like. Even as his father made sure he knew there were more important things he had to accomplish, told him over and over that he’d be better off without a soulmate at all – to the point where Tony had wondered if maybe he’d be one of those people whose soulmate had died young - he’d secretly hoped and wondered if he’d be one of the lucky ones.
And now he knew.
His father had been right all along.
Tony had two soulmates, who already knew each other.
He decided then and there that he was never, ever going to tell them he existed.
And then he woke up in a cave in Afghanistan.

Steve scrubbed a hand over his face and through his hair before speaking, “Even if we can get Tony on board, it’s not gonna be easy Buck.”
Bucky gave a familiar, relaxed shrug, “defending your aggressive, skinny ass in every back alley in Brooklyn wasn’t easy either, but it was worth it.”

James Buchanan Barnes: formerly the Winter Soldier, formerly Captain America’s right-hand man, formerly a sergeant, formerly a dock worker, formerly Stevie’s best friend.... currently a glorified prisoner of Prince T’Challa.... had trouble wrapping his head around all those former selves. He spent too much time thinking about all the bits of him that he kept gluing back together to pretend he was a person anyone would want to keep. He spent even more time picking at the cracks, pointing the flaws out to himself. Only thing he did more than that was make sure no one else noticed how far he was from human.
So, James Buchanan Barnes, who didn’t know what to call himself, who didn’t know how to go forwards, agreed, and moved back into the tower where his best friend lived with a husband orphaned by the Winter Soldier.

Tony is born with a soulmark.
Everyone is born with a mark- unless their soulmate is already dead. What’s unusual is how sometimes Tony has a mark and sometimes he doesn’t.
No one knows what to do with that. Marks only disappear when a person’s soulmate is dead. But one day, Tony had a mark and then the next he didn’t. Tony had barely had enough time to realize that something was wrong before it was back.
~
Steve is also born with a mark.
But when Steve is injected with the serum, his mark changes. Marks aren’t supposed to change. They’re supposed to remain static, as static as the fact that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
~
The Asset doesn't know if he was born with a mark or not.
He would probably say that he was born with one because everyone seems to have one but, if it's not important to his mission, then he doesn't know.
He does have one though. It appears immediately on his metal arm the first time they attach it to his shoulder.

Everyone is born with a soulmark but some people's marks are faulty.
