In 1867, Tony Stark flees New York after refusing to marry the alpha his parents chose for him. His money runs out in the small kingdom of Dacia, ruled over by King Steven of the Rogers line. Somehow, and he’s not entirely sure how, he ends up accepting the position of nanny to the king’s four children: Harley, Peter, Sarah, and Morgan.
Tony bonds with the children easily but their father is harder to get to know. Steve is still grieving his wife’s death four years earlier. His continued mourning has turned the once bright halls into dark and somber shadows of their former glory. Tony isn’t entirely certain what he can do but he knows that he has to do something or else the whole country, so attuned to their leader, will sink into despair. He begins by reconciling the king with his young children.
Meanwhile, the children have decided that it’s high time their father fall in love again—and Tony is the obvious choice. They concoct elaborate plans to force the two together, hardly realizing that Steve and Tony are falling in love, not through their shenanigans but through the quiet moments they share bonding over the love they have for the children.

And he'd be damned if he'd admit it to Pepper, but on more than one occasion he hadn't even been conscious when he'd hit the ground.
So crashing wasn't really a new experience. He would get banged up a bit, maybe put a scratch in the suit somewhere, but bruised ribs healed and there was no better way to work off the post-battle high than smoothing dents out of his most prized possession.

All children, even genius ones, deserve a friend and when one of Tony Stark’s friends destroys his favorite toy, he decides that the friends he creates are better than the ones he meets. Inspired by his father’s stories about the Howling Commandos, he creates holographic versions of his childhood heroes. As he grows up, peerless and lonely, Tony continues to upgrade his holograms until they become fully-fledged AI, capable of moving around the tower and offering advice and above all, loving him.
This shouldn’t be a problem and it isn’t–until the Avengers move in.

“Fuck-- fuck.” Steve really did almost collapse when Tony palmed over his cock, squeezing purposefully over the thick length. “Tony.”
“Is that what you want?” Tony left a sharp bite at Steve’s ear lobe, sucked a wet kiss over the soldier’s pulse and shivered when Steve’s grip tightened too hard at his hips. “Cos I can do that for you.”
“I--I--I--” Steve had never been so confused or turned on in his life. “I don’t know how that’s gonna happen but-- but-- but I’m on board.”
“Good.” Tony stroked over him once, twice more and then pulled away with a devilish smirk at his gorgeous mouth. “Stay tuned, sweetheart.”

When they landed in a mess of lips and limbs on Bucky’s bed for the first time, they’d only been dating a couple of weeks. Of course there’d been months of flirting on and off the battlefield and just over a month of Tony rebuffing Bucky’s genuine attempts at starting something more before the dating part began, but that wasn’t something Tony liked to dwell on. Certainly not right now when he finally had Bucky exactly where he’d wanted him for all those months.
Unfortunately, Bucky has no idea about Tony’s scars and lets his own fears get the better of him, placing his foot firmly in his mouth before Tony’s fantasies can be realised. Thankfully, Steve’s around to pull it out for him.

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.

Thor had found the videos mostly by accident.
He’d been playing around on Bucky’s smart TV while he, Steve, and Natasha bickered over whether salsa was technically a soup or not and had found his way onto YouTube while he was fiddling with the volume buttons. He hadn’t been surprised about the content he’d found, of course―both Bucky and Natasha were huge nerds, and Steve could usually be dragged along without too much issue. The video history was a bunch of videos about space and reviews on old sci-fi movies and shows, and there was also one of a children’s video with the most irritating song that he’d ever heard. He assumed they played it whenever they were mad at each other.
And then his eyes had paused on a video titled ‘My Mentor Plays D&D’ and, well, he was curious, because he hadn’t known that that was what his friends were into, and he wondered what it was about beyond the title.

“Leave,” Tony said, because Tony was either a dead man or not, and there wasn’t much he could do about it before coffee.
“Or you could give me permission to be here,” the Winter Soldier suggested.
“I don’t let strangers poke around my stuff,” Tony grumbled, as he walked past the Soldier to take a seat at his workbench.

A sentinel could spend most of their early years without a guide. By their mid-thirties if a sentinel had yet to form a bond with a guide their senses would start to lose focus and precision until they became overwhelmed and went insane.
Tony was in his forties and the bond he had was a thin string that could be snapped with just one word, and it was the only reason why Tony wasn’t locked up in an asylum for sentinels.
Even with his bond though, Tony was deteriorating, unable to control his senses and becoming overprotective of his teammates.
If he didn't increase the strength of his current bond or find a new guide who he could bond better with then he would be locked up for life.
Too bad Starks have a history of having trouble bonding, and Tony's already tried every technique to strengthen his bond with his guide.
Oh, and let's not forget his guide was none other than Mr. Perfect himself: Steve Rogers.
So really? Tony was screwed unless those bonding techniques started working, because who the hell else could bond with him and do it better than Mr. Perfect?

A Stuckony story based very loosely on the myth of the faoladh, or Irish werewolves, and the song Into the Open Air, from the Brave soundtrack.
Steve is a werewolf missing his mate. Tony is a retired hunter desperate for a cause to take up. They're both looking for something out in the idyllic, Victorian Irish country-side. They both find it. But the entanglements of love and honor, the bonds of pack and family, and the capricious nature of fate and forgiveness could force three hearts together or tear them all apart.

It becomes immediately clear that Anthony Stark – in the way those brown eyes are sharp and searching, warm with years of practiced professionalism – is nothing like his father.
This isn't a good year for Tony Stark. SHIELD is smothering him with a new recruit who may or may not be here to spy on him, or Stark Industries. His arc reactor is leaking palladium into his blood. He wants to do some Iron Man-ing solo because teamwork can go screw itself in the bush. Plus, the government and engineers-cum-terrorists are slobbering all over his armour tech.
And that's just the appetizers.
He'll probably be too dead to get to desserts, to be honest. Which is a shame, because he's only beginning to know Steve Rogers.

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.

Steve Rogers is nursing a heartbreak of his own after his longtime girlfriend reconnects with her high school boyfriend. Tony feels like a whirlwind in the best kind of way, but Steve isn't so sure that he should be allowed to move on so quickly from Bernie, no matter how quickly she moved on from him.

So he stubbornly stays in the Avengers compound to try to set things to rights, vowing to repair his Avengers family and his friendship with Tony. And yet, his endgame is still to help Bucky get rid of the Winter Soldier programming - Help his first and the one true love of his life to find himself again...

After the battle of New York the Avengers take up residence in the tower, but Tony tries his hardest to avoid them. They all made it clear enough they don't want anything from him other than to bankroll their outfit. And that's fine. More than fine. Absolutely perfect. If only Steve Rogers would play along and leave him the hell alone.
Because Steve doesn't know he's being pulled by fate, and that the last person Tony wants to disappoint is his soulmate. So better hide and deflect than let him get close. Right?

The beauty of the former grandeur undiminished, merely transformed. There was an atmosphere to them, a lingering sense of the lives lived or the jobs worked within their walls which made him feel oh-so small and yet so alive all at once. No two were ever the same, and he loved discovering little clues that told the story of the people who once called it home or made their living there.
There was something comforting about seeing the imprints of humans long gone; no matter who you were, there was a part of you, of what you made, of who you were that left its mark upon the world.
Over the years, he’d been to a lot of abandoned houses, factories, mansions and they’d all left an impression on him in some way or another. But none as much as the Mermaid House.

He's seen the footage, after all- Stark is a man who fights only for himself. And of course, when a job arises as chief bodyguard for Stark, to protect him from the growing threat of an ominously infatuated stalker, the opportunity is way too good for him to miss out on. It's the perfect placement, and the perfect way to find out whether or not their tipoff is genuine.
But as Steve falls into rank as the new bodyguard for Mr. Stark and he spends time getting to know and protect him, his initial hatred begins to falter and merge into something different, something far more terrifying than the prospect of killing the face of Stark Industries.
Steve Rogers may just be falling in love with him instead.

Steve and Bucky's BFF road trip is not going well. For starters, Steve couldn't even make it, and for some bizarre reason asked Tony to take his place. The fact that it’s only a couple days before someone is trying to kill them isn’t nearly as stressful as the fact that Bucky and Tony have never really had an actual conversation.
It’s hard to avoid someone when stuck in a car with them though, and if they manage to stay alive they just might learn a thing or two.

It’s been almost a year since Tony was rescued from the Ten Rings by SHIELD. In this time, Tony has forged a new path for Stark Industries and taken on a new under-the-radar role as a consultant for SHIELD. Tony’s SHIELD job eventually brings him into contact with the newest Captain America, who’s a pretty cool guy, though for security reasons Tony can’t know his real name or see his face without the Captain America mask.

For years, Tony had successfully kept his secret. Neither the world nor his team knew he was Iron Man and as far as he was concerned, everyone was better off that way. On his best days, Tony Stark was not someone people liked and trusted, so the last thing Tony wanted was to tarnish Iron Man’s good reputation by revealing the truth.
But then SHIELD falls, the Avengers face disarray, and a stray Hydra assassin forces Tony to go into hiding—and where better than the safe house he had just crafted for the Avengers and their own ex-assassin ready to come in from the cold?
Tony plans to hide away from everyone in his makeshift workshop until the coast is clear and he’s safe to go home. No one would care to spend any time with the reclusive, arrogant billionaire anyways, right? Iron Man is the one everyone wants around.
Bucky Barnes, on his own journey to reclaim his life and identity, seems to disagree with that sentiment.

Tony Stark has never liked Christmas and this year while he’s still reeling from a publicly humiliating break up, he doesn’t want anything to do with the holiday. He books a remote cabin in a tiny town as a post-break up retreat and plans to hide away until New Years.
Steve Rogers loves everything about Christmas, from the trees he sells on his farm to the parade where he gets to play Ol’ Saint Nick, and when Tony comes to town Grinchy and cranky and sad, Steve turns his attention towards finding any possible reason to make the gorgeous newcomer smile.
Steve’s goofy flirting is first met with sarcasm and exasperation, but as the days count down towards Christmas, Steve’s easy charm and lingering kisses have Tony warming to the idea of a burly lumberjack to keep him cozy on the cold nights.
Tis the season for apple cider and mistletoe, but is Steve’s adoration enough to change Tony’s mind about the holidays? Or will the chance to reconcile with his ex take Tony back to the city and away from the promise of romance and a small town Christmas?

Alpha Sheriff Steve Rogers doesn’t know what to think of the new school teacher in his small town.
Omega Tony Carbonell is a quick witted, sharp tongued, sarcastic Omega with a butt that won’t quit– and a temper that won’t quit either.
Every attempt the Sheriff makes to get close is met with rolled eyes and snarkiness, but finally Tony gives in a little bit and the pair spends a few moments together that leaves the Alpha panting, desperate for more.
But there’s a layer of secrets beneath the Omega’s attitude, and the more Steve pushes, the more Tony pulls away.
When Tony’s past comes back in a terrifying way, Steve learns more about the Omega than he ever thought he would, secrets that make him rage, stories that break his heart, and when Tony is kidnapped, the Sheriff saddles up to bring his Omega home.
But Tony doesn’t consider Wildrock home, and he certainly doesn’t consider Steve his Alpha.
How can the Stetson wearing Sheriff convince the stubborn Schoolteacher that they are meant to be?

“I don’t like this,” Steve mutters to him, as he shifts awkwardly on his feet in the lounge of Tony Stark’s absurdly large Malibu mansion.
Bucky sighs and resists the urge to roll his eyes. This isn’t the first time (and it certainly won’t be the last) that Steve has expressed that very sentiment, and while Bucky also recognises the futility and drawbacks to this particular job, it’s a job, it’s their job and it puts money in their bank account, which is something that Bucky won’t turn his back on.
“I just don’t understand why someone like Tony Stark needs a bodyguard,” Steve complains, quietly. “Some spoilt little rich boy, so full of himself that he thinks the whole world is out to get him?”
“Shut up, or you’re going to get us fired,” Bucky hisses.
Steve shakes his head. “All I’m saying is that I don’t want to have to spend the foreseeable future looking after some dolled-up, greedy prep school reject.”
Or, alternatively, five times that Tony Stark surprised Steve and Bucky, and one time they didn’t really care.

After Howard kicks Omega!Tony out, Tony is left to raise baby!Peter by himself. Working a crappy job and barely surviving, the Omega is desperate for help. When Omega!Clint suggests a Sugar Daddy, Tony is first horrified then resigned to what might be his only option to keep food on the table.
Alpha!Steve has a career, a big house, and plenty of money but is lonely every day of his life and doesn't know how to change it. When Alpha!Bucky suggests a Sugar Baby, Steve is first scandalized and then hesitantly open to at least trying.
The Sugar Seeking Sugar Agency matches Tony and Steve, and sparks fly right away between the pair. One date leads to two, then shopping trips and sleepovers, and Tony has money for bills, diapers and baby clothes while Steve is happy with the company and quickly falling in love.
Alphas usually don't want to deal with another Alpha's kid, so Tony keeps Peter a secret as long as he can but eventually he has to tell Steve about his past, his complicated life and what it might mean for their relationship.
Will the truth put a stop to their slowly progressing romance, or is a family with Tony exactly what lonely Alpha!Steve has always wanted?

When Tony decides to personally answer tech support queries to find ways to improve the next Stark Phone, the last thing he expects is to grow weirdly attached to one of the callers. The man is clearly not accustomed to modern technology, but his determination to get better is both admirable and adorable, and Tony can't help prolonging their conversations. Before he knows it, they're exchanging numbers.
Talking to James — be it over texts or the phone — soon becomes the highlight of Tony's day and he might just be falling in love, though he tries his best to deny it. He knows nothing can happen — not while James thinks Tony is just some random tech guy at Stark Industries rather than the man who owns the entire company. And, as if that wasn't enough, there's also Iron Man and the Avengers to consider. Tony would have to reveal everything before a relationship with James would be possible, but he's not sure how to do that without also risk scaring him away.
It therefore comes as quite a surprise when Tony finds out that James has been keeping similar secrets of his own.

Tony is a 27-year-old disgraced omega working as a nanny. His summer consists of taking the child in his care, Natasha, to the community pool.
Alpha Steve Rogers is the 18-year-old, ridiculously attractive lifeguard of said pool.
When Tony meets him, he feels like he’s been punched in the gut and his omega instincts immediately go haywire. But Steve is nearly ten years younger than him. And definitely out of his league. Plus, there’s the whole ‘he’s sworn off alphas’ thing.
It doesn’t matter how blue Steve’s eyes are. Or how spectacular his muscles look, all wet and glistening, as he vaults out of the water. The two of them will never, ever happen.
Steve, though... Steve’s got other ideas.

“Oh, I won’t bother you.” The tone of Steve’s voice implies that he definitely will be bothering Tony, aggressively and frequently. “Don’t worry about it. I’ll keep to my farm, you keep to yours. Solitude together.”
Tony opens his mouth to argue that that’s not how this works, but he snaps it shut at the realization that Steven Grant Rogers is fucking with him. That twinkle in his eye has accelerated into a full-on glimmer, and the ends of his lips are twitching. Jesus, he hates this man. Or maybe he wishes he did. Tony can’t really tell the difference anymore.

Bucky thought the Avengers tower was strange.

The Dom knew he didn’t exactly have a full understanding of how this new world he’d been thrust into, or any world really, worked but something just seemed…off. It nagged at him, pulled at his attention like a splinter in his finger that was too small to find.

If someone had told Steven Grant Rogers that one day he would fall for a mouthy super-genius, billionaire who flew an armored suit to fight evil-he might have had a few choice words for them. That doesn't change the fact that it's true. He can't really pinpoint the moment it all solidified for him. Maybe it was before they fractured and came back together, maybe it was while watching Tony punch a dinosaur while wearing obsidian armor-maybe it's always been there just waiting for him to show up looking like that, and talking like that, and smirking in that way of his that makes Steve's stomach swoop.
Tony is everything he's ever wanted, and everything he never knew he wanted all in one fascinating and sometimes infuriating package. He loves him, he wants him, and it all seems doomed because for all Tony flirts, he seems utterly unable to understand that when Steve flirts back it's in the utmost sincerity. Steve knows Tony is interested, he just can't seem to convince him that the interest is returned and then some.

“...Anthony.” All the air rushed out of Thor in a whoosh when he found Tony huddled in the far corner of the bathtub, fully dressed and hiding his face in his arms, shivering in the cool air and clutching at his own skin hard enough to leave indents and closer to his elbow, hard enough to draw blood that dripped in bright scarlet onto the cold porcelain.
Terrified. Alone. Desperately needing a guiding touch. Submissive.

But, between one Tony Stark in Slytherin and one Steve Rogers in Gryffindor, there was almost enough fighting to account for the entire school.

Prompt fill from imaginetonyandbucky: During Afghanistan, the ten rings got frustrated and sold Tony to hydra for hydra weapons and made him the Iron Soldier. After Steve gets Bucky back from Hydra (idk Cap 3 w/ civil war?) Bucky not only remembers the other winter soldiers, but the soldier he fell in love with (Tony) and basically him and Steve go save him (like when they went to Siberia in the movie but none of the "running from the law" stuff)
So I didn’t follow the prompt exactly because there’s already a great story like this on ITAB already and I wrote something similar to it not too long ago (Making a Hero), so I went in a slightly different direction. Instead of Hydra getting Tony from the 10 Rings, they got their hands on him when they assassinated his parents…

Bucky forced himself to roll over and nuzzled his nose in the crook of Steve’s shoulder. “Steve,” his voice came out a whispery moan. “Get me some aspirin or Advil.”
Steve groaned and tried to shrug Bucky off of him.
Bucky wrapped an arm around Steve’s waist, refusing to let his boyfriend ignore his plight. “Too much to drink last night.”
“Me too,” Steve grumbled, twisting his head so his lips brushed Bucky’s forehead.
Bucky smiled, a contented warmth spreading through him at the simple gesture of affection.
His happiness was cut short by the sound of a glass being set on the nightstand.
Bucky’s eyes flew open and he shot up, ignoring his headache.
An older man in his thirties was standing over Bucky with a bottle of aspirin in one hand, and the fingers of his other hand still gripping the rim of the cup he’d set down on the nightstand. Amber eyes blinked at Bucky in mild surprise. The man’s lips curved into a teasing smirk.

His timer is steadily ticking toward zero, to the day he meets his soulmate, but to be honest? Tony has a lot more on his mind than someone fate picked out for him.

But, and here’s the important part, he’d been just as happy having plain old vanilla sex with Pepper as he’d been when Rumiko had tied him up in sparkly ropes and fucked him with the biggest strap-on he’d ever seen, and when he’s by himself, his brain is just as likely to go to the basic fantasies as it is to go to complicated scenes with toys and ropes and paddles. So he doesn’t really consider himself a kinky person.
He’s still thinking that right up until Bucky hauls the dead, fried Iron Man suit with Tony still inside up off the ground and throws him twenty feet out of the way of a falling spaceship like it’s nothing.

He's also an Avenger and the son of the late Howard Stark. He's pretty sure, though, that no one except his two closest friends and his AI's know this.
And then the Winter Soldier breaks into his home.

“Yeah, I know. You’ve got a secret admirer.”

After Afghanistan and Iron Man, SHIELD gave Tony a choice. He could out himself as Iron Man, or claim it was a bodyguard, and hide his face from the world.
Agent Agent never said anything, but Tony had hacked SHIELD's servers and knew they wanted him to go the bodyguard route. Yes to Iron Man and no to Tony Stark, and all that.
That, as well as keeping Pepper safe, made him go with the bodyguard cover, and flimsy as he thought it was, no one questioned it.
Of course, why would they? Tony Stark was no superhero.

The headlines weren’t any better. “Lovebirds seeking some alone time?” “Two sides of the war: modern Romeo and Juliet?’ And Tony's favourite: “True reason for Avengers’ fall out: Iron Man stole Cap's love interest!”
When Tony saves James from being harassed during their welcome home gala, the press smells a scoop. Instead of being outraged, the general public reacts overwhelmingly positive to the news, so much so they decide to play along for the time being.

At least Howard had been supportive, in his own way. He hadn’t liked that Tony wanted to be a dancer, but he’d made damn sure Tony would be the absolute best once he figured out there was no persuading the young genius otherwise. He’d even been at that performance; the last one Tony had ever done. It was hard to keep dancing after a spinal injury, after all.

And nobody notices except Bucky, because he is looking. Constantly. Watching Tony as he goes through his day to day. Bucky looks and LOOKS, until he is having a hard time even wanting to look away from short spiky hair that begs to be mussed, deep brown eyes that always looks so sad, and perfect lips that Bucky just wants to kiss forever. Bucky looks for so long that now all he wants to do is touch and hold and fix everything. But Tony can barely be in the same room as Bucky, cant even look him in the eye.
So Bucky doesn't know what to do about Tony, but he is determined to do something. Because all he wants is to look at Tony, and see Tony looking back with a smile.

He was one of the last people to get on the plane, and he noticed the seat next to him was empty. This flight was definitely looking up. As he was about to take his seat though, he heard a vaguely familiar voice next to him.
“Excuse me? I’m so sorry to bother you with this, but would you mind helping me get my carry-on up there? The angle is just awkward from here, and you have a definite height advantage which’ll make things go a bit faster. Plus, I may have over packed a bit, and it weighs a ton, which I’m sorry in advance for, but judging by the size of your biceps and shoulders – not that I was staring or anything, but you look like you work out, yeah? – you will handle it in a much better fashion than I could.”
Steve, on the other hand, was definitely staring now. Because when he’d turned, he was looking at Tony Stark.

Captain America and Iron Man had gotten off on the wrong foot - there was no question about that.

No matter the reason, things had not gone well during that initial meeting.
Tony was fine with that, honest. There was absolutely no pouting on his part because Cap didn't want to be his friend. He wasn't even that upset about the way Cap could hardly stand to look at him. It was fine. Completely. His feelings weren't hurt even a little.

Bucky has always taken up really weird jobs. Once he was a mascot and got beaten up by twelve year olds regularly, he also worked at a camp for a while doing maintenance and not once but twice some kid shit in the shower. He once wrote Hallmark card sayings for a while, which led to writing fortunes for fortune cookies. Bucky eventually left that job to be a professional pet cuddler, which led to him somehow finding his way into professional human cuddling, which he left quickly because he was paid to be the big spoon, not someone’s therapist. His time as a bed warmer was the most fun though.
So Bucky was more than used to a little bit of strangeness to his jobs- that hardly meant he was prepared for his job working for Tony Stark.

Steve can't decide if Tony is acting strangely or if that's just his denial speaking. Tony Mark II struggles to figure out the best course of action, stuck handling issues he was never programmed to deal with. And Tony isn't sure he can ever get Steve back, even if he survives.

It might take Tony another day—or year, more likely—to wrap his head around all of that.

“Two things.” Steve held up a finger. “First, don’t ever say ‘the yeehaw of his life’again. That’s a terrible sentence. Second, I know for a fact that Tony had a date with a nice girl from Colonel Rhodes’s church last night so–”
Clint laughed so hard he was practically screaming, cackling peals of disbelieving laughter over shadowed by Sam guffawing over the thought of Tony dating a nice GIRL, much less a nice girl from church.
“Point of order!” Natasha had to raise her voice to be heard. “Tony is practically snack sized. Anyone could get him walking with a waddle. Hell I’ve got a sparkly pink strap on that would get the job done. Let’s not assume he went ass to hammer with Thor just cos he’s walking funny.”

Tony wants to be mad, but really, he was sort of bored anyways and hang on, this guy's deadly, hot, and he has an awesome f*cking arm. Maybe this hostage thing isn't so bad after all.
Tony hadn’t necessarily been looking for further proof of his maladjusted—one might even argue self-destructive—approach to problems, but sometimes life happened, and you didn’t have any choice but to take a long, hard look at yourself. Sometimes, you’re sitting in your car, staring into your recently emptied coffee cup, contemplating whether or not you really want to do this whole “leading a responsible life” thing anymore, and a guy with a gun slides into your passenger seat. Sometimes, that’s just the way your Monday goes.

Didn’t matter, though, because why would Pepper take a risk on seeing how they played out when she knew Tony wasn’t her soulmate? The answer was, she wouldn’t. Didn’t. Never mind that he’d danced at her wedding, and that Pepper and Natasha are perfect (and insanely attractive) together.

Tony was pretty good at ignoring it, though, because, well… Iron Man. Too busy. Too important. Too many wrongs to right, and people wanting to get their grubby hands on his sexy tech, so there was always a reason to do or think about something other than the flesh and blood Tony Stark’s problems.

Tony really hates magic. Has he mentioned that lately? He really, really hates magic. Nothing ever good ever comes of it. What he hates even more than magic? Portals. So when the two are combined, he really isn't happy. His point is proven when said magical portal spits of not one, but two, different versions of his father along Ana and Jarvis, young Aunt Peggy and his Mama. Things get... a little bit... interesting after that, shall we say? This may be a blessing in some ways, but it also a curse. It ends up being something else too - a way to finally lay some of his demons to rest, maybe.

It's not Steve's fault. Well, actually, it is. But he was just proving a point - that if a superhero is gay, how can it be wrong? Steve just picked the wrong superhero to make the point with. Now America will think they're dating - and Tony's not going to be the guy to break Captain America's heart.
There's only one way out. To save face, Steve and Tony have to become fake boyfriends. Steve thinks the "boyfriends" bit will be the hardest to act... but maybe it's the "fake" part that will be the hardest act of all...

Tony Stark is fine. Really, just peachy. Maybe a little lonely, and yeah, PTSD is a bitch but he's managing. But then Clint Barton signs him up for some help site that allows you to text people going through similar shit, and Captain America drags a hurting Bucky Barnes to the Tower. And everything changes. Tony starts to fall for the mysterious man he's been texting AND for the beautiful blue-eyed ex-assassin living in his home. Dealing with that, along with trying to deal with the two rather large secrets he's carrying, Tony Stark's life gets a lot more complicated, something he didn't really think was possible.

“I don’t know how to, you know,” Steve explains helplessly, making something that vaguely resembles a cradling, rocking motion with his free arm. The baby is less than impressed with that, though, and takes a noisy, stuttering breath. Steve’s eyes widen in alarm. “Oh, no. No, ssh, no. Here, c’mon, it’s all right.”
Very gingerly, Steve slides one hand under the baby’s back, cups its neck with the other, and slowly lifts the squirmy bundle out of the crib, and against his chest. “There, ssh. That’s better, isn’t it?”
In answer, the baby tucks its damp face into Steve’s neck, apparently content to stay where it is. Steve glances around the room, a little lost, but the baby just gurgles, and doesn’t start crying again, which he decides to count as a success.

All Natasha had wanted was a cup of coffee, and an hour to herself.
Bucky and Clint and Sam had been driving her crazy all day, starting when she had woken up and gone downstairs only to find dregs in the coffee pot and Clint’s dirty underwear on the kitchen counter.
The morning went downhill from there. She loved her adopted brother and the two dumb idiots they lived with, but sometimes the three of them could get on her last nerve. This was one of those times. So after narrowly avoiding getting shot in the foot with an arrow (long story) she had grabbed a book and headed for the coffee shop on the corner for some peace and quiet.

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.

Steve Rogers was never more happy the day that his soulmark came in, but it led to nothing but disappointment and shame when his soulmate ignored everything he scribbled across his arm; as the years went by, the reason became unmistakable: why would his soulmate want a weak, wretched little thing like him?
Tony Stark was born bitter cold, like he was made of hailstone, and when his soulmark carved itself across his pulse point, he realized why; so, what is his life worth, what could it ever be worth, when his soulmate is dead and he would never have been worthy of him had he been alive anyway?
