There were days when the realization that he was someone’s father made Steve's head hurt. Mostly he was grateful that he could trust his instincts, because Peter was what had been missing from his life. Yes, he still had lingering, unresolved issues from his time in the Army, and sure, he had what Bucky annoyingly referred to as a criminally untapped ass and no life outside of work and Peter, but Steve was okay with how his life had turned out because of trusting his instincts.

Unfortunately, those same instincts had straight up betrayed him by going absolutely haywire upon being exposed to Tony Stark.

Veteran single dad Steve runs a tattoo shop. For his 40th birthday, Pepper arranges for Tony to get that tattoo he always wanted, and he winds up with the mother of all crushes instead. Jumping out of airplanes is one thing, but falling in love is something else entirely. Steve struggles with the idea of actually letting someone into his life. Tony is left trying to keep his heart from being broken while Steve figures things out.

New York City is still rebuilding in the wake of the Chitauri army when the biotech virus Extremis is released, upgrading a lone domestic terrorist into a posthuman threat. Tony would’ve been happy to keep going on playing with alien tech in his lab, saving average citizens as Iron Man, and pretending not to notice these other people moving into his tower, but sometimes a person just can’t have nice things.

Tony is still a consultant, and between SI, the team and SHIELD he's overworked and exhausted. That's okay.

He and Steve have been having sex for weeks but that's all it is, just sex, and Tony wants more but he'll never get it and that's okay. Really.

What's not okay is the fact that Howard Stark has somehow appeared in the future and is the same as always.

This is definitely going to fuck up his schedule.

Tony's Malibu mansion has never felt emptier. His parents are dead, his uncle is gone, he hasn't spoken to the man who raised him in years, and the halls echo with the sounds of his regret. When his best friends suggest that he take a vacation for the holidays, he seizes at the opportunity, but he would never have imagined he'd end up on a website for house swapping.

Bucky's New York apartment has never been more quiet. He'd let his ex push away everyone he loved, let him use Bucky for his own gain, and he's got nothing to show for it other than some raging trust issues. When one of his friends suggests he get away from the city for December, he winds up agreeing to switch houses with Tony Stark, of all people.

Tony and Bucky come from two very different lifestyles, but over two weeks at the end of the year, they'll find laughter and love, and maybe, just maybe, they'll make themselves a new home.

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.

The first time Jarvis holds little Anthony in his arms, he is overwhelmed by emotion that is surprising in its intensity. When little Anthony's palm curves around his finger, Jarvis ducks his head to keep the others from seeing the wetness in his eyes.

"Hello Master Anthony," he whispers into the little ear, tugging the bundle of blankets closer to his heart.

After the Civil War, the Avengers were back together. 

How is everything going, Tony? Pepper had asked in her email.
It's fine (Tony had written back). I'm fighting with Steve all the time. Everything is going to hell. I'm okay (you know I'm always okay).

 (Or: How Tony and Steve learned to be a bit gentler with each other)

"No, Steve, Stevie, that was - I remember. That's not Tony Stark. I killed Tony Stark over twenty-five years ago, at the same time that I killed Howard and Maria Stark. They were my targets. Stevie." Bucky's eyes were dark with horror. "I don't know who that is, but he's not Tony Stark."

Peggy Carter has just passed away, and before the funeral in a dull attempt to cheer himself up, Steve Rogers finds himself reading through letters that children, or in particular a certain ex-fanboy (who may or may not be Tony Stark) sent him over the years.
