Oh My Darling, Don't Let the World Get You Down by InTheShadows for MassiveSpaceWren
Fandoms: The Avengers (Marvel Movies)
18 Apr 2021

Summary
When Tony first meets Bucky, he has one goal and one goal only - to fuck him into the mattress (or the other way around, he isn't picky) and be done with it. Too bad that isn't what happens. Somehow they get cockblocked into having an actual friendship instead. And it's good. Great even. Better then either of them could have imagined in the beginning. Way better then just a one night stand.
And if there are regrets? If they both wish for something more, something a little less platonic - it's fine. Who needs romance when it can ruin a perfectly good friendship? It's all fine. They have each other - platonically - and that's all that matters. It's not as if their feelings are returned, right?
But then Bucky is gone. Bucky leaves without a word and without a trace and something in Tony breaks. Not just his heart, but something else. Everything else. He vows on that day to never let anyone else in. Never let anyone have that kind of power over him again. It hurts too much. It hurts and he has nothing left to give anyways.
Be careful though. Things are not always what they seem. -
How to Deal with Oblivious Best Friends 101 by InTheShadows
Fandoms: The Avengers (Marvel Movies)
15 Apr 2021
Tags
Summary
Steps in dealing with your oblivious (and idiot) best friend with an obvious (and returned) crush:
1. Give them some time to figure it out for themselves. Who knows, miracles happen. And they have to learn sometime, don't they?
2. Give them some encouragement. You are dealing with an idiot (and possibly some other issues that aren't their fault).
3. More encouragement. Really. Be supportive. You are their best friend.
4. Start to lose hope. Continue to encourage and listen to them. They obviously need you if they still haven't figured it out by now.
5. Finally lose all hope and sigh in despair. Yes, they really are that oblivious (or insecure).
6. Take matters into your own hands.
Both Bucky and Rhodey have finally reached step six.Series

Summary
When Bucky is hit by a spell during battle, it has an unusual affect on him. Instead of doing - whatever is was that it was supposed to do - it splits him into two. No. More accurately, it removes the Winter Soldier from his mind and makes him into his own person. The Winter Soldier, who then has to cope with being a person himself and what that means. And Bucky, who comes face to face with the very thing and issues he never wanted to. Things are only going to get worse before they get better.

What Doesn't Kill You (Is Bound To Try Again) by InTheShadows
Fandom Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Avengers (Marvel Movies)
08 Sep 2018
Summary
After the events of Civil War, Tony is burnt out. Done. Finished. He's just so tired of the lies and the betrayals and getting kicked down again and again and again. He's not allowed to stay that way though, according to Loki. The Trickster needs him because he knows what is coming. He knows the Chitauri will be back, with something much worse following. So he decides to help the genius out - in true Loki fashion that is. After all, who doesn't want a fresh start? Literally.
In which Tony is de-aged to a seventeen year old again and then given the mission to save the world. Should be fun. Right? (Let the explosions begin.)- Words:

The Worst You Can Do Is Harm by theladyingrey42

Summary
So what if Tony Stark has a folder of pictures JARVIS recognizes alternately as Project Rebirth (when Tony's sober), Project Hero Worship (when he's tipsy), and Project Spank Bank (when he's drunk)? No big deal. Unless Loki destroys Avengers Mansion and Hawkeye ends up finding the damn pictures and showing them to Steve. And if there's maybe a teeny-tiny misunderstanding about why precisely Tony has them.
In which Loki is a dick, Thor is the bestest drinking buddy ever, and Tony has a hard time saying what he means.
