Steve woke up six months ago into a future that leaves him indifferent. There is work, and not much else. His current mission is a basic search and rescue operation to retrieve an American who was kidnapped by a terrorist group ten days ago. He won't let the fact that the hostage is Howard's son be a distraction.

One slip of the thumb means that Tony just texted a picture of his dick to Captain America instead of his casual hookup. Which is just as well because the guy hates him anyways.
It's certainly the weirdest way he's ever managed to break the ice.

At the end of a bad day, Tony gets drunk and texts Rhodey all his woes. Except he typed the wrong number, and has been texting someone named Steve– who is blond, 28, teaches art and somehow charmed by Tonys drunk rambles.
One conversation turns into another, and soon they are texting and talking and flirting every day for weeks until Tony finally takes a chance and asks Steve to meet in person.
Steve replies that he and his boyfriend Bucky would be thrilled to meet.
Devastated, and feeling betrayed, Tony stops talking to Steve all together, and their budding relationship comes to a screeching halt.
But Bucky has been eavesdropping on their conversations and texts and is halfway in love with Tony too, so he takes it upon himself to fix the rift between Steve and Tony.
Tony isn’t sure about it at first, but after some cute videos, sexy selfies, several date nights, Tony starts to think that the three of them may actually work.
Can Bucky and Steve convince Tony there is enough room in their bed and their arms for each other AND him? Will this Long Distance texting and phone call relationship ever make it into the same zip code?

Everyone has a number of names written on their bodies from birth. Steve has three: Margaret Carter, James Barnes and Anthony Stark. After Steve loses two of his soulmates he's not ready to meet his third. If wishes were horses huh?
Includes texting, movie watching a solid amount of pining and a little kicking HYDRA's butt.

Tony Stark is not a narcissist, a liar, a soldier, a good listener, a hypocrite, or any of the other bullshit words people like to use. He knows himself, what he is and isn’t, what he does and doesn’t know. And he knows not just numbers, equations, and schematics, but words too.
After Siberia, expectations of Tony feel higher than ever: he’s heading the Avengers; working to revise the Accords; trying to do right by the teenagers who for some reason look up to him; plus the usual work for Stark Industries. He doesn’t really have time to deal with what’s left of his friendship with Steve, let alone figure out his own shit. (He ends up doing a lot of that anyway.)

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.

He's drunk and there's a really hazy decade in the nineties that Rhodey looks pained when he even thinks about that says doing shit when he's drunk is a bad idea.
There's also a new building on MIT campus and a yearly donation that supports that theory.
But MIT and Rhodey are far away and that clunky black flip phone is not, and he snarls as he snatches it up and punches in the mess.
It takes almost five minutes because the tech is obsolete and he is drunk but he does and he smiles at it, viciously pleased.

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.

Steve had one job: exchange a couple of texts with a guy who thought he had Natasha's number, and let him down gently. It ends up being a lot more complicated than that.
