Heart of Fools (ao3) - Claudia_flies steve/bucky E, 55k

Heavy Lies the Head (ao3) - emobucky, odetteandodile steve/bucky M, 59k

Summary: A prince, a guardsman, a garden.

When a curse is placed upon Prince James which says he is to be the instrument of his kingdom’s destruction, it’s decided that for his own good (and everyone else’s) he should be sent away from the royal city and the palace. Bucky goes into his exile with only a single solitary guardsman for both company and protection.

Steve doesn’t know what to make of his new assignment—it could be a promotion or a punishment in equal measure. Personal guard to one of the royal family is an honor, but now he’s locked in a walled garden, uncertain of just who it is he’s been tasked to protect.

Summary: “You’ve got war in your heart boy,” Howard sneers, “don’t ever try and pretend to be anything but what you are.”

Summary: 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.

Hooked On A Feeling (ao3) - sundaywriter peter/tony, bruce/gamora M, 15k

Summary: Tony had never expected to have a family while his parents were alive, let alone after they died. The arrival of the Avengers in his life had changed that, and for the first time in his life he felt like he belonged. He felt accepted, he related to others, thought others related to him. The Civil War changed that as well. Tony lost the only true family he had ever had, got stabbed in the back with a smile on his face, guilt lurching in his stomach while the backstabbers yelled blasphemy and blamed him for their actions.

Two years later, Tony was back to his original belief that he would die alone, surrounded by his suits, bots and faithful AI, never to have a family ever again. The Guardians of the Galaxy crashlanding on his property and knocking on his door, begging for help, changed that for the second time in Tony’s life. Only, they brought more than the Avengers, so much more.

The story of how Tony learned to say “You’re welcome” instead of “Thank you” and “I forgive you” instead of “I’m sorry”.

How Much Do You Need (ao3) - thebookishdark clint/scott E, 2k

Summary: “Hey. Check out what I made,” Scott rolls up his sleeve and there’s a small bracelet that looks extremely similar to the belt on his Ant-man uniform. “It’s made of the same material as the suit so it won’t break if I grow in it, but it works more like the particle gun. Cool, right?”

“That was fast.”

Scott shrugs. “I had an excellent motivator.”

Clint asks Scott a hypothetical question that’s not so hypothetical. It might be a sex thing. Okay, it’s a sex thing.

Hurts to be Human (ao3) - ABrighterDarkness steve/bucky, clint/natasha M, 50k

Summary: Bucky was…he wasn’t jealous not in any way that meant he resented what they had or would cause harm or problems to get what they had. But, it did paint a very pretty picture of what he had been missing while they had him. Would he have found this? Fallen into this sort of family dynamic had he not been taken? Could this have been his life?

Not that it really mattered, in the end. He had been taken. He had spent the last few years at the beck and call of a massive network of Omega-Traffickers. Bucky never had a potential buyer in the works. Not even a cursory look from one as far as he knew. Something for which he was undeniably grateful, but at the same time what he did have was falling under the unending control and manipulation. Forced to lie, cheat, and steal. Forced to harm others while under the force of the Commands. What he did have was memories; too many of them and too few of them good.

Hush, Hush (ao3) - InkDippedFingertips tony/stephen G, 8k

Summary: Five times Tony and Stephen keep their relationship secret (not very well) and one time Tony said fuck it.
