    Summary

    Bucky doesn't understand why no one ever says anything about Tony's PTSD.
    A year after they have all come back, after they all hugged and made up, Tony is still jumping anytime someone speaks to him. His hands shake when Steve raises his voice. All he does is work and drink and apologize for being around.
    And nobody notices except Bucky, because he is looking. Constantly. Watching Tony as he goes through his day to day.
    Bucky looks and LOOKS, until he is having a hard time even wanting to look away from short spiky hair that begs to be mussed, deep brown eyes that always looks so sad, and perfect lips that Bucky just wants to kiss forever.
    Bucky looks for so long that now all he wants to do is touch and hold and fix everything. But Tony can barely be in the same room as Bucky, cant even look him in the eye.
    So Bucky doesn't know what to do about Tony, but he is determined to do something.
    Because all he wants is to look at Tony, and see Tony looking back with a smile.

    Summary

    Warning for major 'Civil War' spoilers.

    Considering everything that happened, to Tony, it's incredible that T'Challa and Steve would think that he would help, in aiding Bucky.

    But then he hears a little about what Hydra did to Bucky, beyond merely using him as a weapon.

    Tony never told anyone the full extent of what they did to him, in that cave, in Afghanistan, although Rhodes clearly suspects the truth. It turns out, that he and James Buchanan Barnes have a fair amount in common, when it comes to how they have dealt (or rather not dealt) with their traumatic pasts.

    This fic starts as Stony (somewhat) but ends as Winteriron.

    Summary

    Ultron is destroyed, the Avengers are in disarray, and the Winter Soldier is still in the wind. Steve knows that he has to fix the ever-growing ocean of distrust between Tony and himself, so he takes a leap of faith and tasks Tony with the most important thing: finding Bucky Barnes. But it takes a pair of sexy but stolen hand warmers, several robots, Hawkeye and countless selfies before Steve realises the immensity of what he's set into motion.

    Summary

    He's twisted up inside like a ball of forgotten Christmas lights, nervous and anxious, and feeling like he won't belong there. What right does Bucky have to go to such a sacred place and ask for Maria to allow him to let her go? And what good is this going to do when he returns back to the tower and Tony is still there, reminding him with his actions, and his heart, and his giving, and his kindness?

    When everything Tony does exudes the grace of his mother?

    -

    Bucky heads to Maria's gravesite as part of his healing process. There, he encounters the only person who can truly help him let go.
