Rhodeybruce is just so good? The fact that they're both respected men in their fields. The fact that they both have a dry sense of humor. The fact that they both care for each other. The fact that they're both genuises. Also the softness??? The pining looks? The shy smiles from bruce?? I love it
Relationships: Bucky/Tony, Rhodey/Bruce, other background relationships

Summary: The Avengers are a rock band that rose quickly up the charts. When they broke up suddenly, they disappeared just as fast. Is there any hope for a reunion?
A/N: So, I have Chapters 2 & 3 written for this, but I was rushed to post this for Day 13 of AU_gust, and I don't want to post those chapters until Chapter 4 is written. Like the other incomplete works of this series, these will be updated after AUgust is complete.
+++++++++++
The band Avengers rose up the charts quickly. With several hit songs on the first album, they were the hot new stars. Produced by Shield Records, they quickly went platinum.
 Fans all around could tell you the names of the members. Tony Stark âIron Manâ was the vocalist and backup guitarist, Steve Rogers âCaptain Americaâ was the keyboard player, Thor âThe God of Thunderâ played the lead guitar, Natasha Romanov âBlack Widowâ was the bassist, and the drummer was James âBuckyâ Barnes âthe Winter Soldierâ. Their stage director was the talented Bruce Banner, and their manager/agent was James Rhodes, called âRhodey.â Clint Barton, a former roadie, was their lights man.
They looked like your average rock band. Tony styled his hair in a fauxhawk, used a shiny black kohl, and contoured his face so that his cheekbones stuck out. He had no tattoos and once confided to Buzzfeed that heâs afraid of needles. Steve is a short, skinny man with shaggy blonde hair that falls over one eye. Like Tony, he doesnât have tattoos, but he wears a lot of leather. Thor is a huge bulking man with long blonde hair, a big beard, and tattoos covering his chest and shoulders. Each one had a meaning, and he explained them all in a Rolling Stone article. Natasha was a pale woman with naturally bright red hair that is always in a tightly curled bob. Her makeup was always flawless, and she has a dainty red rose tattooed on her left bicep. There were rumors she had another one somewhere else, but she never answered when asked. Bucky was muscular, not as big as Thor, and often played shirtless. He had a full sleeve of tattoos on his left arm. When asked about them, he told them he wanted to piss off his parents. âIt worked.â He grinned. Bruce was a short man with curly hair who looked like he should be anywhere but a rock stage. Rhodey was a black man with close cut hair. He often wore suits that fit his figure nicely. Clint? Clint was the resident dumpster fire. When Tony brought him on stage, he often had on a pair of cutoff sweatpants shorts and a purple tank. He never didnât have a band aid somewhere on his body.
Every night, Tony would bring everyone out on stage and introduce them. There would be some witty banter back and forth, and anyone watching could tell that they were a family. After backstage and tour videos surfaced, fans were excited. They saw what they thought to be the true personalities of all the members. As it happens in every fandom, the shipping started. Fans would make edits, write fanfiction, and make art of either self-insert or member x member material.
 Fans speculated if any of them were actually dating. Some saw the camaraderie between Steve and Bucky and created a ship named âStucky.â Some thought Steve was dating Thor. Natasha seemed the most closed off of them all. Fans speculated her sexuality and shipped her with anyone and everyone. As most fandoms go, things got a little out of hand.
 The one ship that seemed to be the biggest, due to the dynamic of the two, was called âWinteriron.â Tony and Bucky were often seen together, flirted heavily during interviews, and often had social media twitter wars. No one was surprised when, one night, after a song, Tony ran back to the drums and kissed Bucky. âThatâs my Jamie,â he said and winked. The crowd goes wild. The next morning, they came out to the press.
 Everything was going great, the band was high in the charts, and things were looking up when suddenly, the band put out a statement that they were breaking up. They apologized to all fans, reimbursed tickets, and said not to hope for their return. Rumors as to why they split |surface everywhere. The only things the fans know are the following: 1.) Tony starts dating Tiberius Stone. They both post thirst traps of Tony everywhere, often boasting of threesomes they have with famous celebrities, both male and female.  2.) Steve is on record for calling Tony a âcheap whore with no regard for anyone else. 3.) Bucky basically disappeared from all social media. His publicist would add a few photos to his Instagram account, but everyone knew it was not him.  4.) Rhodey would not speak up about the split. The only thing he said was âthey knew what they wantedâ. The others would not answer any questions about the band. When asked, Tony had snorted and asked. âOh honey, why would I care? Itâs dead. Leave it there.â Stone had placed a hand on Tonyâs forearm and led him away. The band died as quickly as it had arrived.
  Now, it has been six years since the band broke up. Most people hear one of their songs on a throwback radio station and say, âOh, I remember this band!â But there are some fans who will not give up on them. Although the Instagram account has been inactive for six years, they still tag it to ask when theyâll be getting back together. They still make Avengers fan material. They hope and pray for a reunion.

(AO3 Link)
The camping trip was going well until Rhodey said, 'Shit, I forgot my sleeping bag.'
Bruce looked up, in the process of unrolling his own. Rhodey sat in the tent's entrance, muscular arms wrapped around his knees. 'You didn't leave it in the car?'
'No, I was going to get it then Tony and Pepper needed help with the bags. Damn it.'
It had been Bruce's idea to go camping. The four of them had driven to a stretch of woodland and spent the evening eating sâmores and sharing stories. Tony and Pepper had not-so-subtly retired to their tent an hour ago, leaving the two of them alone. Bruce had tried not to look too pleased by this. 'You can have mine. I'm used to sleeping without one.' He'd spent plenty of nights with nothing but a bag for a pillow.
Rhodey shrugs. 'I'm used to it too. It's fine.'
But Bruce couldn't bear the thought of Rhodey sleeping on the ground. 'I insist.'
He shrugged. 'So do I.'
'Don't be silly. My gamma blood keeps me warm anyway.'
'Doesn't protect you from a sore back, though. How about we arm wrestle for it?'
Bruce allowed himself a pointed glance at Rhodey's muscles. 'That's not a match I'd win.'
He smirked. 'Okay, rock-paper-scissors you for it.'
Bruce played rock. So did Rhodey.
Bruce played rock again. So did Rhodey.
'This is getting ridiculous,' Bruce muttered as they drew again. And again. Both of them refused to play anything other than rock, and after ten games they gave up.
'You stubborn bastard,' Rhodey laughed. 'Iâve always liked that about you. Fine. You know what? This is a stalemate.'
Bruce rolled his eyes. 'So neither of us use it?'
There was a glint in Rhodey's eye. 'No. We both use it.'
A moment passed between them. Rhodey's eyebrows raised in challenge, daring Bruce to call his bluff. If it even was a bluff.
'You're joking,' Bruce said cautiously.
'It's gonna get cold, and I'm not staying up all night arguing.' He crawled over to the sleeping bag and unrolled it. 'Come on. It'll be cosy.'
This was such a bad idea. But Bruce's resolve was weakened after hours spent by the campfire in Rhodey's company.
So when Rhodey climbed into the sleeping bag, Bruce took off his shoes and got in beside him. The bag was quite roomy, so it still zipped up all the way.
In hindsight, it would have made more sense for two platonic friends to sleep facing away from each other, back-to-back. But instead they ended up facing the same direction, with Bruce's back pressed against Rhodey's chest.
In the dark, Bruce felt himself blushing. 'Uh, is this okay?'
Rhodey cleared his throat. 'Yeah, this is fine.'
They lay awkwardly for a while, and the only sounds to be heard were their quiet breathing and the hooting of a distant owl.
Gradually, Bruce felt himself relaxing. It had been years since he'd fallen asleep next to someone, and the warm, reassuring presence at his back was remarkably calming.
Bruce had the Hulk, and he didnât need protecting. But with Rhodey here, he felt⊠safe.
An arm wriggled free and draped loosely over his side, outside of the sleeping bag. 'This okay?' asked Rhodey, voice slurred with sleep. 'My arm's going numb in here.'
Bruce was almost asleep himself, so his only response was a happy sigh and to snuggle a little closer.
Rhodey chuckled. 'I'll take that as a yes.' His breath paused, as if he was about to say something. Instead, a hand gently patted Bruce's side. 'Night, Bruce.'
It would no doubt be awkward when they woke up tomorrow. But for now Bruce let himself drift off in Rhodey's arms, and dare to believe that this night together wouldn't be their last.
