In the ever raging war between the Kree and the Skrull staying on top of events is important.
When the Kree Starforce notices the assembly of a handful of people with superhuman abilities, they decide to send a spy to Earth. Commander Tony's mission is clear: screen them, assess them and acquire the most skilled for his Starforce Unit.
But when Tony starts to realize he is watching their leader Steve for more than a purely professional reason things get complicated and Tony's secret identity becomes more and more of an obstacle.

Bucky/Steve/Tony

Steve and Bucky both have two soulmates. When Bucky falls, Steve goes into the ice not long after. He wakes up decades in the future and has a rough introduction to his other soulmate, Tony Stark.
Neither man seem too enthused about the revelation, and Steve is slightly surprised when Tony makes no demands of him or even uncovers his soulwords. Turns out, Stark doesn't think too highly of soulbonds. Still, they manage to work together and Steve comes to realize he might have misjudged Tony.
He's working up the nerve to try and make this more than a friendship when Bucky turns out to be alive. And not quite alone.
Or, Steve is jealous of cuddles and bed sharing, Tony has no expectations of his soulmates because his soulwords are extra crappy, Bucky is sharing his psyche with the Asset, and all of them are on a converging path to falling in love.

Wanted: Mechanic for car workshop, no experience needed. First six months only room and board, later payment in accordance with services rendered. No smoking, no pets. Start asap.
When Tony sees the ad he packs his bags and runs away from his small town home all the way to New York. A place where he can hide that he’s the only heir to the Stark fortune. Where no one calls him names or hits him for being too smart, not smart enough, too gay.
What he finds is a mechanic who might be as damaged as he is and a blond spitfire who tries so hard, but who can't seem to find the right buttons to help heal his friend. Somehow they connect, and somewhere along the line Tony feels like maybe it's possible for him to build a home, if not for that nagging fear of his past catching up with him.

Tony was a hot mess when he was sick. Prickly, on the surface. But if you could work your way past that – which Steve had managed long ago – he was clingy, whiny. Needy. Essentially, everything he’d grown up believing a Stark shouldn’t be.
It's Sunday morning, and Tony just wants a warm bed, and Steve. He gets a board meeting, and a crazy high fever instead.

Maybe Tony Stark can help him figure that out. Or maybe, if he just gets all the tools, he can fix Tony along the way too.

Tony doesn't begrudge anyone else their enjoyment of the holiday season; he just wants to be left out of it. He's never really seen the point. Bucky's usually all for it, but a disaster at work that forced him to cancel his plans to travel with his family have left him feeling a little curmudgeonly. The two meet and bond over their shared lack of interest in the holidays.
When Tony unexpectedly finds himself taking care of a pair of kids who rather emphatically expect Christmas to be Done Right, he finds himself turning to Bucky for help.

When Tony agrees to a cooking date with a new boyfriend, the Iron Man immediately panics because he DEFINITELY cannot cook at all and desperately needs a recipe that will disguise his kitchen disaster-ness and general food gremlin tendencies.
The team steps in to help Tony learn to cook. They share their favorite recipes, put the kitchen back together after the inevitable mess, and try hard to not let the truth of everyone’s collective crush on the genius slip.
Tony has no idea that every single member of the Avengers would be all too happy to kiss him while cooking, thrilled to hold hands during movie night, and full on ecstatic to cuddle up together in the mornings. They are ALL in love with Tony and if he ever looked up from frantically studying his recipe cards, the brilliant billionaire would probably figure it out.
The team just wants Tony happy, so they stay quiet about their feelings, Tony learns to cook, and on Saturday night Tony is out the door to see his boyfriend...

Tony was not a team player, and he knew it. He was loud and obnoxious and self-centered, and he had done more harm than good in his life. He didn't deserve to have anyone watching his back, but he felt like maybe they deserved to have him watching theirs. So, when he saw the sad, sorry living conditions of the other Avengers, he couldn't help but help them.

Steve takes things like personal responsibility and respect seriously. Tony's got people he pays to take care of that kind of thing, and anyway, he's pretty sure that he's going to die of some exotic disease in his workshop, because Dummy's still a little spotty about what is 'clean' enough to put on an open wound. The rest of the Avengers are in this for personal gain, except for Clint, he just enjoys being a dick.
And some things shouldn't be a chore.

But just because something is true does not mean it is the whole truth, the complete truth and nothing but the truth.
He doesn't know that yet.
