I'm gonna go with a small fluffy ask. Tony Stark wearing pink bunny slippers. And why not holding a stuffed animals as warm bottle (*whispers* I have a fox and a racoon). I mean... Isn't it fucking adorable, cute and soft? Now, if you have to put in a relationship, maybe some winterironwidow ? Or ironwidow brotp, winteriron... well, you know me 8D. Thank you for everything and have all the best for those holidays! Best wishes!
The thing is, when Bucky bought the slippers, he didn't really consider that they're bright pink, have huge, cartoonish eyes painted on and little, flappy bunny ears.
He just... thought they looked soft. And they are.
(They're so soft, Bucky spends twenty minutes just standing in the middle of the store, petting the bunny ears. And when an attendant comes up to him and hesitantly asks if he needs help, Bucky just blurts out "I take them" and that's that.)
And look, it's not that Bucky didn't want to keep them because the slippers are the softest thing he's ever touched and he loves them. He'd totally keep them. But he's been out shopping for a reason and that reason was Tony.
Tony whom Bucky needs to get a Secret Santa gift for. Tony who has pretty much everything and can buy even more.
Tony who deserves soft things.
So Bucky gave him the slippers. (The were the wrong size for him to wear anyway.) And he didn't realize how they would look to others until everyone opened their present and Clint cracked up so hard, he almost fell off the chair.
(Until Natasha stretched and accidentally kicked him out of it.)
And well.
It was too late to take them back so Bucky didn't. He just... didn't look Tony in the eye and pretty much got out of the common room as fast as possible. Without making Steve worry, that is.
With any luck, Tony would put the slippers away on some forgotten shelf and no one would ever mention them again. Then maybe the urge to bang his head against the wall -- or steal the slippers back -- would fade.
It hasn't so far but Bucky's trying to adopt a more optimistic outlook on life.
And if the eggs he's serving Clint are ice cold, that's certainly a coincidence. Bucky would never be that petty.
It's very gratifying to watch him choke on the first bite though.
Although when Bucky turns around, he realizes that may have less to do with the eggs and more to do with Tony. Who has just strolled into the common area, dressed in a greasy t-shirt, sweatpants and the pink, fluffy bunny slippers, looking utterly unconcerned by his team mate's gasps for air.
"You're wearing them?" Bucky doesn't mean to ask -- doesn't mean to make it sound like an accusation -- but the words don't ask for permission. They just... streamroll right ahead.
"Yes?" Tony blinks up at him, a little confused. "They're comfortable and pretty. Why wouldn't I? And before you ask, Barton: no, I don't share."

WinterIronWidow 3:
Yasha is Hydra's prodigy, so he gets to train people who're barely two years younger than him. He's put in charge of Natalia's training, becoming her handler when she rises in rank.
Natalia, now Natasha, has to get close to Tony Stark, to get access to his weapons/money/contacts/intel/whatever, but she's slowly getting attached and one day stops contacting Yasha. It's an insult to his training and his pride, so he becomes James and picks up the mission, both to complete it and to eliminate Natasha.
Well, turns out he's not any better than her and neither of them ever completes the mission, but they do get Tony Stark.

Fic Commissions
I’ve run into some pricey fixes for my car and I’m hoping to off-set the cost with some writing commissions!  
$5 for 400-600 words $10 for 1-1.5K words 
You can sign up for a slot on my KoFi page, or if you want something longer, then email me at [email protected] to talk price & length. Or just feel free to email if you’d like to discuss prompts or concerns you have, etc.
My AO3 page is here to see my previous work. I like happy endings and I’m especially good for all sorts of AU’s. Both SFW & NSFW prompts are welcome, though I reserve the right to decline commissions for any reason. 
I mostly write Tony x Bucky, but I’m also willing to write other pairings including poly relationships so feel free to email me with any questions.  
Reblogs are appreciated!!

Tony finds out Nat and Bucky are his soulmates
Tony gets kidnapped a lot. As in so often, he introduced himself to his fellow university students with the infamous words, “My name is Tony, I like coffee and I get kidnapped a lot.”
[It’s apparently turned into a meme or maybe an inside joke. One people always laugh twice about, one when they here it for the first time and once when they see Tony get kidnapped for the first time.]
At first, everyone thought Tony just likes to make jokes about his father’s money, but after the sixth or seventh incident that put a couple of his fellow engineering students in the hospital -- and also, incidentally, led to the birth of DUM-E, the engineering departments pride and joy -- people have started to take him serious.
For example, everyone knows better than to drink Tony’s coffee. Not because he goes ballistic -- though there is that too -- but because you never know what today’s wannabe kidnapper’s drugged it with. You also never let Tony enter or leave a classroom first or last, that’s just asking for trouble. And no one, no one, is to trust a sudden stand-in professor or new TA.
The point is, when a guy in black leather drives his motorcycle over the roof, flies through the air, through two windows and skitters to a stop right in front of Tony and his friends, who are sitting outside in a rare, shady place -- coincidentally not in direct view of the most commonly used sniper positions -- reaches out with a hand made of metal to grab a squeaking Tony by his hoodie, pull him onto his motorcycle and drives off with him, Tony’s best friend Rhodey sighs a deep sigh of utter, mentally done with this world exhaustion and everyone moves on with their lives.
[”Shouldn’t we call the police?” the new English lit professor -- who is still eyed warily by the entire student population -- asks hesitantly.
Her TA snorts. Pauses when he sees her genuine confusion.
“Oh, right, you’re new here.”]
Tony, meanwhile, is quietly mourning the probably-not-drugged coffee he dropped when metal hand -- and how cool is that? -- grabbed him. And also humming in interest at the young woman, dressed in the exact same skin-tight leather suit kidnapper number 1 wears, eyes him dubiously.
“Are you sure you took the right one? He’s so-- fluffy.”
“You’re fluffy,” Tony snaps, mortally offended.
"I’m sorry for kidnapping you like that,” Metal hand says surprisingly earnestly and snatches the knife kidnapper number 2 throws with a snarled “I am not fluffy!” out of the air with an ease that speaks of lifelong practice. Tony’s definitely jealous.
“It’s fine.” Tony waves him off because he rarely gets an apology, and thus always appreciates it. “You’re like the sixteenth to do so since classes started again.”
“...right.” Metal arm eyes him for a long moment. Tony stares back. It’s as good a thing to do as anything. “My point is--”
"Are you wearing a protective sleeve or a prothesis?” Tony interrupts. He’s heard the whole We’re-sorry-for-the-inconvenience-but-we-need-money-and-you’re-an-easy-way-to-get-to-your-mother speech before. Loki has actually written a parody for a seminar once. It was so good, it got published in the student newspaper.
“You’re our soulmate,” the woman says.
Tony blinks.
“Nat!”
“What? You were taking too long.”
“I’m you’re what.” Tony says in a completely reasonable deadpan.
Metal hand shrugs sheepishly. “Machine gave the name out a few weeks ago. Gotta say, it took a while to track you down. We were worried HYDRA would get to you first. Or SHIELD.”
Tony stares. It takes half an hour to go through the details because these people are terrible at explaining anything, but what the entire thing comes down to is-- “You’re both freelance assassins at the top of the foodchain and when people got nervous and decided to get you under control, they used a machine that spat out my name and now an international terrorist organization and an international spy organization are after me.”
“You’re our soulmate. And you practically scream ‘easy target’. You’re fluffy.” Nat sniffs.
“There’s no such thing as soulmates,” Tony says, also quite reasonably and ignores the way Nat’s eyes narrow. He’s never heard of the concept of soulmates before, outside of romances and TV shows, that is. Except-- “Actually, that explains a lot.”
Nat smirks. Bucky -- and what kind of codename is Bucky -- looks suspicious. “What do you mean, ‘explains a lot’.”
“JARVIS keeps insisting the weekly kidnapping attempts have gone up in the last two weeks. I thought he was being paranoid, I really need to downgrade the suspicion protocol, or that maybe the it would average out in the next month, but apparently he was right and this is a new trend.”
“What.”

Oooh if you're looking for more title + pairing fun - how about Bucky/Tony/Nat - Diamond in the Rough 💜
Oooh, winterironwidow 👀
Diamond in the Rough
"I want him," Bucky murmured, leaning his chin on his hand.
Natasha paused in checking her weapons, instead turning her gaze on the lighted ring below them. The man being shown off currently was dressed in flowy fabrics that swirled around him as he danced. His smile might have looked alluring to other auction-goers, but Natasha could see it was brittle, eyes darting back and forth to try and find an escape. His fingers twitched against his fans as if there was something in them, but they crumpled a little in his grip, and he he relaxed his hands again. He looked like a rabbit surrounded by snakes, expecting one of them to leap out and strike him.
"We were told to purchase Peter and no one else," Natasha replied, trailing her fingers over the purse with the money in it. They'd already purchased Peter, but leaving before the auction was over would have been considered poor taste, could even make it apparent that they were part of the rebel faction. She watched the man on the floor drop into the splits, chest heaving, smile fixed. Well-trained. Most people probably couldn't even tell he was seething with rage. "We can't afford him," she added simply.
"I can," Bucky replied with a shrug as he watched one of the brunet's handlers come out and cinch his hands together with a belt behind his back. His eyes trailed down the man's back as he was led off the floor.
Natasha paused again, turning her considering gaze on him instead. It was true that Bucky rarely used his pay for anything beyond food and maybe an armor upgrade after battle. She never would have thought he'd save up enough for a purchase like this, though. "Why?" she finally asked. "He'll be a burden."
"We can teach him," Bucky answered firmly. "He has the base down. He just needs a little polishing up. You've found rougher diamonds. Peter, for example," he added, finally dragging his gaze from the floor.
Natasha tilted her head. "You can't be certain he has base skills. He could just be an entertainer. Entertainers have perfect control of their bodies, too, not just assassins."
"Then we'll have an entertainer," Bucky replied, shrugging again.
"Am I not enough for you?" Natasha asked, raising an eyebrow at him.
Bucky finally turned to return her gaze, smirk sharp, even a little mean around the edges. "Of course you are. I'm just saying, it's nice to have another body in bed during the winter nights, isn't it?"
Natasha crossed her arms, staring. Finally, she said, "You'll argue even if I say no. Why are you being so insistent? What is it about him?"
"It's him," Bucky said, as if that was all the answer she needed.
And maybe it was. Natasha remembered the stories he'd tell late at night, when it was dark and she was trailing her fingers up and down his back. 'There was a boy,' he'd always start. A boy too smart and pretty and proud for his own good. His uncle had had his parents killed and then, when the boy wouldn't cow to him, had sold him off. The king hadn't done anything about it, and it had made he and Steve realize what a bad person he was, and so they'd entered into the rebellion without a second thought. 'I tried to find him, but I never could,' he'd always finish, just before she kissed his forehead as he drifted off to sleep.
"I suppose... he would be passable with some training," Natasha allowed, because clearly he'd once kept some sort of sharp weapon inside his fans, and they'd been removed. She wondered if his handlers had learned that the hard way. Grimly hoped they had. Then she frowned at Bucky severely. "I still expect to be the big spoon."
Bucky smirked at her again, and this time it was all filth. "Of course. Among other things, I promise."

The Trio is Back - AUgust Day 7
Title: The Trio is Back
Author: Purple_ducky00
Rating: Teen
Warnings: N/A
Relationships: Bucky/Nat/Tony, Bucky/Tony
Square Filled:  N2: Didn’t Know They Were Dating Link: Read on AO3
Summary:  Natasha, Bucky, and Tony have been friends since childhood. Everyone speculates that Natasha will have to choose between the two of them. Little do they know she might just choose both.
+++++++++
Tony, Bucky, and Natasha have been friends since toddlers. The Starks, the Barneses, and Natasha’s adoptive parents were a close-knit bunch who played bridge on Thursday nights, usually at the Stark mansion.
 As children, the three would run through the house playing superheroes, Super Mario characters, jedi, etc. The Stark butler, Jarvis, always made sure nothing valuable was broken. They would often rope him into their play. As they got older, they calmed down somewhat. Natasha taught Tony to braid so he could braid her and Bucky’s hair.  Both would push him to get more intricate braids. Bucky would recommend books for the others to read, and they had a book club group chat where they would discuss plots and theories. Tony lets them in his lab and teaches them about science.
 When the three turned ten, the adults would joke that Natasha might have a hard time choosing between the two handsome boys. Natasha’s fathers said she should be able to do whatever she wanted. Natasha never paid them any mind because Tony and Bucky were her friends. Why did she need to choose?
The three were inseparable until middle school. They never had a falling out, per se. They just stopped hanging out. Maybe they were tired of everyone trying to figure out who liked who, or maybe they just wanted more friends. No one actually knows. Tony became close with his lab partner James Rhodes, who he dubbed Rhodey. He also roped Virginia Potts into his trio as well. She became known as Pepper almost overnight. Natasha basically adopted the “school nerd” Bruce Banner and Carol Danvers, the girl most of the guys hated because she was “too feminist.” Carol, an avid lesbian even at a young age, didn’t care. Boys were a waste of time to her. Bucky was fast friends with Steve Rogers, Sam Wilson, and Sharon Carter.  Every once in a while, all ten of them would hang out, but it seemed like the legendary trio was over.
 As they reach puberty, the comments about them increase. Instead of being smelly boys, Tony and Bucky both grow into handsome young men. Both realize as they grow older that they were kind of into boys and girls. Sure, Natasha is beautiful, Bucky thinks, but so is Sam. He doesn’t know how Tony feels about Nat, and since one of them was “destined” to get her, he decides he will step back and let Tony ask her out. He takes Sam on a date, and they are steady for a couple of months. They split on good terms at the end.
 Tony has the same line of thought, and he dates Tiberius Stone for a while. Both Bucky and Natasha hate him, but Tony doesn’t know why. Ty is cultured and handsome, a real catch. So, what if he verbally abuses him and guilt-trips him? That’s the way his father always treats him. Isn’t it normal?
 Natasha doesn’t date. She doesn’t care to. If people want to speculate, she doesn’t care. She’s only sixteen, why does it matter if she doesn’t have a partner? Her fathers tell her to take her time, and if she never wants to date, that’s her say.
 When they graduate, Tony goes to MIT. Natasha gets in at Stanford, and Bucky’s parents can only afford for him to go to NYU. Tony offers to pay for a better college, but Bucky won’t let him. They keep in contact and see each other every break. Tony finally breaks up with Ty in his freshman year, but he becomes a party animal. Rhodey does his best to keep Tony out of trouble, but even he fails sometimes. When he graduates summa cum laude, he takes his place at Stark Industries. Natasha studies to become a lawyer, and she passes the bar easily. Bucky graduates NYU and saves up enough to buy his own auto repair shop. All are successful and don’t have much time to spend with each other or anyone else, to be fair.
 ++++++
Jan, Tony’s stylist, sets him up on a blind date with a Jimmy because he “works too much.” He shows up at the restaurant she picks out to only find Bucky sitting at the table to which the maître d leads him. “Bucky?”
 “Tony? What are you doing here?” Bucky stands.
 “I’m as confused as you are.” Tony sits at the table. “Jan told me I’d be meeting a Jimmy. Who the hell calls you Jimmy?”
 “Well, she called you Anthony. I can’t believe you let anyone call you Anthony.”
 Tony shoots him a glare. “I don’t. Not sure why she told you that you’d be meeting an Anthony… unless she did this on purpose.”
 “What? The parents figure that if Nat doesn’t want to date either of us, they might as well put us together?” Bucky’s eyes snap.
 “I don’t know.” Tony shrugs. “But it all seems very suspicious, you know? What do you propose we do about it?”
 “I think we should eat dinner and go have fun. We both go home to our own houses afterwards and never try to date again, just to screw ‘em.” Bucky smiles sharply.
 “I like that. Deal.”
 Tony wakes up in Bucky’s bed the next day. “Well, I guess that plan didn’t work out.”
 “Yea… I’m torn up between kicking you out now just to fuck our parents or actually fucking you again,” Bucky comments. “Damn, Tones, you’re amazing.”
 Tony colors. “Yea, I had a lot of experience in college. People still like to say they spent the night with me even though I haven’t slept with someone else for months now. I’ve just been busy.”
 “Same. Who has time to date anymore?” Bucky shakes his head. “It’s a shame because I would love to have nights like last night more often.” He straightens completely and raises a finger. “I have an idea, and you may not like it, but here me out. What if we were each other’s booty calls? Just whenever we need a quick smash, we text the other?”
 “James Buchanan Barnes, you are a fucking genius. I would kiss you right now, except my PA’s probably calling my dead phone, wondering where the hell I am. Can we rain check the next session?” Tony hops out of bed, pulling on his pants. Once quickly dressed, he heads to the door to leave and blows Bucky a kiss on his way out.
 Using his watch to ping his driver, Tony heads home to get changed before going to work an hour late. Howard doesn’t berate him as much for being late for work, so Tony wonders if he knew something about his date with Bucky. The thought leaves his mind as he gets started on his day. He doesn’t have time to think about dates or meddling parents.
 As the months go by, both Tony and Bucky text in claims to their booty call agreement. Tony is happy to do so, but he finds himself catching feelings for Bucky. He wonders if it’s because Bucky is the only one that he’s in close contact with, which he mentions to Rhodey when they get lunch on Rhodey’s first day on leave.
 “I mean, I don’t think it’s a good idea to be fucking the only person you have a steady friendship with.” Rhodey steals one of Tony’s fries.
 Tony pouts. “Don’t be like that honeybear. You and Pepper are my friends, too.”
 “Yea, but I’m in the Air Force more than 80% of the time, and Pepper works for you. It’s different.”
 “You’re just jealous that you’re not getting any.” Tony decides.
 Rhodey just smiles. “Says who?”  Tony begins to assault Rhodey for details, the topic of Bucky forgotten.
++++++
“Hey, Natasha’s moving back to New York, apparently.” Bucky informs Tony one morning. “My mom just texted me.”
 Tony groans. “If this becomes another ‘Why don’t you date her?’ thing, I swear I’m going to move to Tahiti and not accept any long-distance calls. You’re welcome to come with if you’d like.”
 “I think we should take her out to dinner one night when she gets settled, just to catch up.” Bucky muses. “Then our parents can’t be mad because we didn’t try.”
 “Yea, I wonder how she’s been. We haven’t talked in so long.” Tony agrees. “I wonder if she got a partnership here or something. I hope so. That’d be good for her.”
 “Nick and Phil will be glad to have her back. If only my parents were as supportive as they are. You should have seen my dad when I told them I was opening my own auto shop.” Bucky smiles that unhappy smile.
 Tony laughs mirthlessly. “I’d be happy if my parents talked to me at all. But being that Howard’s always cranky anymore, I guess it’s best that he doesn’t.”
 ++++++ Natasha moves back less than a month later with a short, sandy haired man in tow. They move into an apartment on the Upper East side. Once she’s settled, she agrees to meet Bucky and Tony for dinner. About ten minutes in, she asks them, “How long have you two been together?”
 “Did someone tell you that we’re together?” Tony demands. “Because they’re wrong. We’re simply booty calls to each other.”
 She shakes her head. “No, you’re not. You might like to think that, but you’re in love with each other. No one told me; I can see it from here.”
 The two men shift in their seats, not daring to look at the other. “So how have you been?” Bucky asks her.
 “Busy. Jenn and I are setting up our own partnership. We’ve gotten a lot of cases lined up, and we need a secretary.  There’re two lawyers working pro bono mostly down in Hell’s Kitchen. We might add them to our firm and pick up their secretary as well. I saw them in court for the Punisher trials, and she seems to have her stuff in order.” She takes a sip of her drink. “Sorry for not keeping up with you guys. I barely even talk to Bruce and Carol.”
 “Mom told me you brought a man home with you,” Bucky says. “She didn’t seem too happy about it. Are you two dating?”
 “Clint? No, he’s just a friend. I’m too busy to date, honestly. I’ve tried a couple times in LA, but it turns out I’m very selective of those with which I choose to hang out. Most men are idiots, and I’m tragically straight. You see my problem, right?”
 “We don’t feel your pain, but we understand,” Tony says. “Well, what we should do is make sure the three of us hang out at least once a month. If we want to bring our other friends, I don’t care, but I’ve sorely missed you, Nat. And Bucky, maybe we should spend more time together with our clothing on.”
 “You say that now, but what about tonight when…” Bucky begins but stops when Natasha gives him her death glare. “Okay, that is still as frightening as ever. Is that how you win all your cases?”
 “No. I’m skilled enough that I don’t need to use that.” Nat flips her hair. “But I’m glad it works on you.”
 Tony stick out his tongue at Bucky. “She’d never kill me. Who would give her those amazing scalp massages?”
 “Now that you’ve brought it up, I demand one once we leave the restaurant.”
 Natasha goes home that night realizing that she missed out on a lot of Tony and Bucky’s lives. If she were being honest, and she is, she kind of relied on their parents’ hope that she would one day marry one of the two. She always acted the way she did because she was equally attracted to both of them, and she would never be able to choose. So, she moved away and let them get on with their lives. She never thought once that they would choose each other and leave her out. She tells this to Clint when she gets home.
 “Talk to them. Maybe they’ll share.” Clint suggests before he falls asleep on the couch.
 She rolls her eyes. “You have a room for a reason.” Natasha knows he’ll still be there when she gets up to go to work the next morning.
 ++++++
The trio meets up at least twice a month. Per Natasha’s goading, Bucky and Tony start to actually date. She’s happy for them but seeing them sometimes is bittersweet. She just wants to go back to the times where they didn’t have to worry about feelings. All feelings have done for her were made her sad.
 One night, they’re eating takeout in Tony’s kitchen when he says, “You can kill me if we’re wrong, but I want to proposition something with you.”
 Natasha raises an eyebrow. This ought to be interesting. Tony proceeds. “So, Bucky and I are very happy in our relationship, but it could use one more thing… you.”
 “Me?”
 “Yea. We both really like you, and we kind of got the feeling that you like us, too. Are we wrong?” Bucky bites his lip worriedly.
 “No, you’re not wrong. I really like both of you. I have since we were kids. I just never wanted to choose between the two of you. When you got together, I was happy for you. I never thought that you’d both want me as well.”
 “Why wouldn’t we want you?” Tony asks. “We love you so much. Obviously, we’ll have to talk about how this is going to work. I hear communication is key to any good relationship. I should know.”
“Also, if we all date, that’s one way to make sure our parents don’t get exactly what they want. Instead of you choosing one of us, you chose both.”
 Natasha grins. This is a fine arrangement indeed. “I would invite you back to my place, but Clint’s there. Would one of yours work?”
 “It’d have to be Tony’s. I just moved in two weeks ago.” Bucky jabs his thumb at his boyfriend.
 ++++++
Natasha’s parents are overjoyed when they hear the news, Bucky’s parents don’t say anything, but Bucky knows they are a little wary of his relationship. Tony’s parents, on the other hand, are very vocal. Howard has a yelling fit, screaming at Tony until he loses his voice. Maria asks him why he vexes his father like that.
 When Bucky and Nat try to comfort him, he shrugs them off, saying, “That’s the first real conversation I’ve had with either of my parents since I was a kid. Don’t worry; I always knew Howard would have a problem with it.”
 “It still sucks,” Bucky tells him. “No matter what, you’ve got us.”
 Tony knows he’s happy when both his partners cuddle around him in the middle of their California King bed. Throughout all odds, the trio is back together.

(i told you this would become a thing for me now)
Pre-relationship. So. Bucky's traumatised and like, anxious I guess. He needs to sit in this one place because it has good sightlines and exit strategies and he can get obstacles between him and the entry points, things like that. Except, well, Nat and Tony are freaky too, so they want the seat as well. Cue an intense, long term, cold-war type of fight between the three of them to decide who gets the chair. In the end, they just share.

Bucky: Okay, I've been wanting to say this the whole time. I feel like we're the hottest people in this room. Is that terrible?
Natasha: Yes.
[Both laughing then gasp when Tony walks in wearing a handsomely tailored suit]
Both: Speaking of hot people...
Bucky: Wait. Are we drunk or do we finally have one brain and the same taste in guys?
