Sunflowers and Iron

My MTH auction winner, @ali-aliska, requested a scene from her fic, Winter’s End:

Clearly, fate was testing him and Bucky was currently in no shape to resist a tempting invitation like that. So, with that same boldness that he swore belonged to the Soldier rather than himself, he reached out his right hand and gently began carding his fingers through Tony’s soft hair.

DUM-E is dressed up and ready for next Halloween!

For my @tonystarkbingo​ square S3 - Dragons (card 3058). (Keep reading for bonus pictures!)

A crocheted little DUM-E, perfect for hugging!

INTRODUCING WINTERIRON MONTH 2020!

Hi, everyone! Peaches and Peanut here with another fun event coming your way! 

EVENT INFO:

WinterIron Month is a month long event with the intent to create new works but also recommend works created by others! There are two (2) weeks in which prompts are given. There is one (1) SFW prompt week, while there is one (1) NSFW prompt week. During these two prompt weeks, there are three (3) prompts given each day—you can choose which one(s) to do—, and you are more than welcome to combine all three prompts for a day.

All types of creations are accepted whether it be writing, artwork, moodboards, fanvids, playlists, crafts, or anything else! The type of work you want to create is yours to chose from.

The other two weeks are rec weeks, one (1) week for SFW recs and one (1) week for NSFW recs. During these two weeks, there are a general (or at least we tried to make most of them broad/general) category in which you will recommend another creator’s work that falls under that category!

You can participate as much as you would like, there is no minimum amount or maximum! We just want people to have fun.

WHEN POSTING YOUR WORK ON YOUR BLOG:

Please state which week, day, and type of prompt (e.g., ‘SFW Sunday: Word ’ or ‘NSFW Wednesday: Dialogue/Sentence’) you’ve done, to make it easier for us mods, to tag accordingly when we reblog!

Tony and Bucky wind up in Vegas for two very different reasons. One thing leads to another, things get out of control, and too much alcohol was had. 

When Bucky awakes in his hotel room the next morning, he had a wicked hangover and vague, foggy memories of the night previous. He didn't think anything of it at first until he noticed the stinging ache on his forearm; looking down only left him shocked… 

He had a tattoo of a heart with the initials A. E. S. underneath. 

This was bad. 

He sprang up out of bed in mild panic; he needed to call Sam. They were on this business trip together, hopefully Sam would remember something. A tattoo with a random person's initials wasn't the worst possible thing that could have happened, it could be covered for work after all; and eventually he could get it removed… but still. 

You're an idiot, Bucky. 

Snatching his phone off the table to dial Sam, he froze; there, on the table, was a marriage certificate… signed by him and someone who goes by the name of Anthony Edward Stark. 

Great, this is a disaster! 

--- 

Tony woke up on his private jet on his way back to New York; he'd been on a business trip in Vegas. He doesn't remember how he even got on his jet, nor really anything about the night before. Not the first time. He didn't think much of it until he felt the sharp stinging pain in his forearm; upon which he notices a tattoo of a heart, and the initials J. B. B. 

Wow Tony, you've outdone yourself. 

It's fine though, Tony could deal with this; he's dealt with worse. He could get the tattoo removed quite easily and if he wore long sleeves until then, no one would even have to know. 

He had no idea he was married.

---

After calling Sam and having the man laugh for an entire twenty minutes over this incident, they figured out a plan. They found photos from the previous night, and discovered, much to Bucky's horror, that Mr. A. E. S. was actually Tony Stark; like the Tony Stark. 

He hopped the first flight to New York. He needed to fix this. Hopefully they could without anyone else catching wind, he had already been humiliated enough; he didn't need the press involved. 

It took him nine tries to even be allowed a meeting with the man; and that's only because he shoved the marriage papers in one Happy Hogan's face. Happy ushered him into the private elevator to Tony's office so fast he nearly got whiplash. 

Unfortunately, getting a divorce wasn't as easy as they'd hoped; and it being the holidays only made it take longer. Nobody wanted to work, it was Christmas. 

Tony offered to let Bucky stay at his house over the holidays. He said it was just to be nice, but Bucky knew it was because the man didn't want this leaking to the press, and the easiest place to hide something unwanted was at his own private estate. Bucky agreed… he had nowhere else to go anyways, he had no family other than Sam; and Sam went home to his wife. 

Staying wouldn't be that bad. What could it hurt?

They hated each other from the get go. All fake smiles and forced pleasantries. It was an absolute disaster. They couldn't wait to get divorced; if they could sign those papers on the spot it wouldn't be soon enough. 

But was it actual dislike for each other, or were they trying too hard to force that idea? 

No matter how hard they tried to stay detached, to not like each other… it didn't work. It was inevitable. 

Two days later, Tony gets the divorce papers, as he said he would, he doesn't want to sign them;  But Bucky doesn't like him, right? They argue. Tony signs them and leaves them on the table for Bucky. He leaves before the man wakes up. He doesn't want to watch. 

Bucky doesn't understand why seeing Tony's signature on the divorce papers left such a pain in his chest (he does). The pen hovers over the line, his hand shakes; he doesn't sign. Can't. 

He needed to find Tony. 

Getting one more meeting with the man shouldn't be too hard, right?
