When is a bed not a bed? (When you’re not in it)

WinterIron, T, 2.7k, crack, bedsharing, pining | AO3

Dear @hddnone​, I hear you like bed sharing fic. I also like bed sharing fic, and I ADORE your work and also you. So here’s this. I wrote it in a night I never do that who even am i. As always, thanks to Stella for title assistance.

-

“I take it back,” Tony calls out the open doorway, “this safe house is not well stocked, they forgot one very important thing.”

Bucky appears in the doorway a second later, looks around the small bedroom, and then fixes Tony with an unimpressed look.

“There’s only one bed,” Tony says slowly, in case Bucky somehow missed it, but Bucky just shrugs. And of course it’s not a problem for him, he’s not the one uselessly pining away like a character in an old timey romance novel.

“So you take it,” Bucky says, “I hardly sleep anyways.” Then he turns to leave, like that’s just the end of the conversation.

“That is not the end of this conversation!” Tony says, following him back out into the equally tiny living room.

NSFW Rec Friday: Kink Discovery

For the @winterironmonth - my last rec day, since I won’t be doing tomorrow’s.

Old Fashioned Like That by Finely Honed (jaqen_hgar) “No, c’mon, tell me,” Tony pleaded. Bucky knew when he was beat, but he wasn’t quite ready to give in, not just yet. Not with Tony watching him all bright eyed, and curious, every last ounce of his attention zeroed in. It was late—or early, depending on your point of view—the end of a particularly long, awful day, but despite this Bucky was wide awake, and having trouble remembering the last time he felt so relaxed, and playful. Probably the one that best fits the actual prompt - a really cute fic that has Tony spoiling his lover by showing off. [NOTE: need to be logged into Ao3 to read this]

Baby Crazy by RiotFalling For some reason, the children of New York love Bucky Barnes. It’s heartwarming to witness, and it’s making it really hard for Tony to ignore his gigantic crush on the man. Especially because Tony can’t stop suggesting they maybe have a baby together. The rest of the Avengers just want a vacation. Super funny and super cute. I'm not sure it's a 'kink', exactly, but it's certainly something both Tony and Bucky think is super hot, so...

Didn't See That Coming by MysticMedusa With no super villains to fight Clint suggests a competition to see who can use the most fighting abilities of their group. The results leave the Avengers shocked. Bucky and Loki both figure out they've got a competence kink of sorts when they see Tony fighting. [NOTE: Winterfrostiron]

NSFW Rec Thursday: Masturbation

For the @winterironmonth.

Benign by usedupshiver Having a Hydra-made tentacle monster on the loose in Avengers Tower should not be quite this... cuddly? A fairly free interpretation of the prompt - there is masturbation for sure, and an asexual person/being watching it, so I say it counts :P And to be honest, I adore this story a lot, so I want to rec it.

In My Dreams I Turn You On by ceealaina Tony's crushing hard on his new massage therapist, but doesn't want to be a sleazy businessman. Bucky's crushing hard on his latest client, but doesn't want to take advantage of him in a vulnerable position. So they handle it like any sane adults - pretend it's not happening and refuse to discuss it. At least they both have terrible friends to help them through it. Absolutely adoring the mutual horny pining in this one!

Stark, Naked by 27dragons, tisfan A bottle of vodka, a dimly lit room, and his favorite camboi on the laptop… A lovely story that's both sexy and sweet. One of my absolute favorites!

NSFW Rec Wednesday: PWP (Porn Without Plot)

For the @winterironmonth.

The One Where Tony Is The Meat In A Supersoldier Sandwich by WhisperElmwood Tony spends three hours with a plug up his ass battling knock-off Chitauri robots in Central Park, then Steve and Bucky find out and, well, things go from there really. Truly one of the hottest fics I have ever read (and reread multiple times). Would 100% recommend. [NOTE: Stuckony]

Longing by The_Winter_Writer Bucky and Steve had been gone on a mission for two weeks. He’d been regulated to a large, empty bed and Bucky’s fading scent. Tony missed his affectionate, possessive mate ridiculously. It's really really cute, and then it's really really hot. Tony's friendship with the other Avengers is also really adorable.

Understated Warmth by FreyaS They’d been meeting up for months and never asked any questions. As far as Tony knew, he was having sex with a sex god with the coolest prosthetic he’d ever seen. They’d first met at a shitty dive bar with horrible music and the scent of stale smoke on every chair Tony had sat on. Bucky - and Tony could hardly believe he was sleeping with a man who called himself Bucky - had not been the first man to talk to him at the bar, but he had been the first one to march over and tell Tony that he couldn’t monopolize the jukebox with AC/DC songs. One thing had led to another and several drinks later, they’d been exchanging handjobs in the bathroom. (Or Tony and Bucky have a friends with benefit relationship. There's fisting and a surprising amount of feelings for a story that's 99% porn) Interestingly enough, you just about forget about the background of it all (and the secrets) by just how hot it is. That fact also inspires me to think that, when it all comes out, they'll actually manage to deal with things, because it's very obvious they love each other very much.

NSFW Rec Tuesday: A/B/O

For the @winterironmonth. One of my favorite tropes, so have some more recommendations!

Not Exactly What I Wanted by Tahlruil Tony has always been happy to piss off Alphas who try to control him - especially Howard Stark. Unfortunately he managed to push his father just a little too far... and the man arranged to have him auctioned off to the highest bidder. Now he's married to a guy he hardly knows, one that is too damn patient and too damn nice. There's no way that isn't an act, and Tony is resolved to be a little shit until he finds out the limits of his husband's fake personality. Though he's been back from the war for a while, Bucky has been left scarred by the experience. The most prominent one is the personality that came into being because of Hydra's torture and brainwashing attempts when he was captured. They were rescued before they became the Winter Soldier, but Winter is still very much sharing space in his head. Winter has never responded to anyone positively... until they met Tony at an auction Bucky had been dragged to by a former commanding officer. They are both captivated by the Omega and buy him despite their better judgement. This one has Tony and Bucky growing into their relationship - or, rather, Tony growing into it, because it did not start great (which wasn't Bucky's fault, but he doesn't know that). I really like their growing connection.

Empathic Responses by waterbird13 In a world that still considers alphas the protectors, betas the every-day masses to fill out the ranks, and omegas as homemakers and glorified objects, Tony Stark is born. Tony is born an omega in a world where that means he’s a homemaker, a provider, with limited opportunities and a lack of autonomy. Tony says fuck that, no matter what the rest of the world is telling him. As the Rogues return, Tony is left dealing with the world coming down around his ears. The Accords, Aliens, and, of course, the alpha who somehow just moved into his life. This one is rather more dark and bleak than I usually prefer to read, but I haven't regretted it. In the end it does work out, and a positive change is coming, and they are going to do better. And Bucky is right there supporting Tony in that.

Preconceived Notions by Winifred_Zachery “I-I’m sorry, I was looking for the shelter?” The Omega’s voice comes out with a squeak as the man notices he’s staring down the barrel of Bucky’s rifle. Bucky notices his scent immediately. Omega. Exhaustion. Panic. He lets the shotgun sink. “You missed by half a mile.“ Bucky watches the shoulders slump, then wince as lightning brightens the sky, followed by an ear-splitting roll of thunder. The bundle in the man’s arms starts whimpering. “I think you should stay here.” This is extremely sweet, with Bucky helping Tony out in his time of need and Tony turning his life right the heck around and being awesome.

Barnes Family Motors, Inc. by phlintandsteel In a world where alphas legally own omegas, Bucky is just a small time mechanic from Brooklyn who gets lucky in a poker game. Tony is an omega whose life is fraught with abuse, until his luck suddenly takes a turn for the better. In the grand scheme of things they may only be able to make little differences in the lives of those around them, but that doesn't mean it's not worth making them. After all, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. One of my absolute favorites, where Bucky makes Tony's life a lot better, Tony makes Bucky's life a lot better, and together they make a lot of others' lives a lot better.

Beginning and the End by Shi_Toyu Tony Stark: Genius, Billionaire, Omega, Philanthopist, Youngest Member of the Avengers James "Bucky" Barnes: Soldier, Alpha, HYDRA Asset, Besotted Fool That about sums it up. It really does, and I LOVE it. There are so many things going on, and I adore every single one of them.

NSFW Rec Monday: BDSM

For the @winterironmonth.

So Good (For You) by 27dragons Tony’s being so good, Bucky’s going to give him a reward. Short and sweet and a little naughty. Their mutual love is clear throughout it, which I really like.

1000 Paper Cranes to See You Kneel by Shi_Toyu Bucky thought the Avengers tower was strange. He wasn’t sure how much of it was living with a team of superheroes, how much was the fact that he’d spent the last seventy years in the hands of an organization that was brainwashing and wiping him, and how much was something else entirely. The Dom knew he didn’t exactly have a full understanding of how this new world he’d been thrust into, or any world really, worked but something just seemed… off. It nagged at him, pulled at his attention like a splinter in his finger that was too small to find. I think they are absolutely adorable in this, and it's still one of my favorite stories. I especially like Bucky's stance - “Do you have any idea what an honor it is that you’d let me be your Dom when you don’t need one? It means you’re with my because you chose me. It means you think I’m worthy and that…that’s just indescribable.” Melts me every time.

You Know You Need Me by MizDiablo Tony Stark does not want a dom. Bucky does not want a sub. But wanting something and needing something are two very different things and getting kidnapped has never been a solution to anything. And Steve just wants Bucky to be happy. A somewhat different kind of getting together, and I like that they need each other in this. [NOTE: Stuckony]

NSFW Rec Sunday: Aftercare

For the @winterironmonth.

(I'm Gon') Take Care Of Your Body by EchoSiriusRumme When Tony is extremely overworked, he needs to be taken out of his head for a little while. Good for him that he's finally found a Dom who could do just that, without expecting anything extra in return. (Besides, Bucky tells him that Tony is already everything he'd ever wanted, the sap). Manages to be both hot and sweet, with the love between the two of them being obvious.

Won't Let You Sink by iam93percentstardust Bucky doesn’t usually like to give Tony a bath after a scene. It’s not something that Tony really likes, not after Afghanistan, though even he agrees that it’s the best way for Bucky to clean a nonverbal, still down in subspace Tony. And Bucky just doesn’t like baths. But sometimes, Tony gets too filthy during a scene for just a simple washcloth and if he’s still down deep, Bucky gets too worried about asking him to stand for a shower so they end up taking a bath instead. Part 4 of a series that has Bucky and Tony growing into their relationship. So far, all of them have been really sweet, but this one I felt showed the aftercare the best.

Look At Me by nepenthe_writer Tony is tired after a long night and James helps take him out of his head and relax Okay I’ll be honest, I like the sweet ones, and this is another one where that sweetness shines through. I like how it’s clearly about James taking care of Tony.

WinterIron with holding hands please? :)

@hogwartstoalexandria Prompt time yay! Winterironwidow - Hurt/Comfort fluff.

@celtic7irish Prompt: Tony & Avengers - Tony has a hand injury and the armor needs repairs. Mostly, I just want Tony & Avengers fluff. Please?

The Things You Do (To Yourself)

“What the hell was that for?” Tony snapped, the voicestarting in the modulation of Iron Man, and ending with the man himselfsnapping up the face plate so he could give Bucky one of those patented I am smarter than you, soldier and don’t youforget it glare.

“I thought itwould be bad for team relations if you blew up,” Bucky responded.

“I had it undercontrol before you charged in like a bull in a china shop,” Tony said. He triedto gesture, but pulled up short as one hand was pinned down by an epic craptonof building.

“Disagree,” Buckysaid. “You might have been able to disarm the bomb, I’ve no doubt. But what youdidn’t see, because you were concentrating on the bomb, was the shitheelHydra-wanna-be skinhead alt-right asshole with the remote detonator.”

“What happened tohim,” Tony said, because he would never admit that Bucky might have been right.

“Explosion,” Buckysaid. “They’re big, they’re messy, they get everywhere. People should rememberthat before they stand kicking distance from the blast radius.”

“Your kickingdistance, or a normal person’s?”

“What do youthink?”

“So, blast radiusbeing what it is, how did I get here, here being, I’m assuming, somewhat under thebuilding we were trying to save. Which, also, assumption time again, we failed.”

Bucky had, infact, looked around a little. “Uh, no. We’re in the parking garage next door? Idon’t know if the other one sustained structural damage or not. Little busydown here.”

“And let me guess,we’re out of contact–”

“Yeah,” Buckysaid. “Pretty sure there was an EMP with that blast. Now, at least thearc-reactor doesn’t have a problem with that, but everything’s down. Suitdidn’t reboot–”

“Yeah, Friday’snot here,” Tony said. “So, we wait. They’ll dig us out.”

“I wouldn’t besurprised if Steve’s up there digging concrete slabs out with his fingernails.”

“Man could use a manicure,”Tony agreed. He hitched a breath. “Need to work on that EMP problem, it’s beenan iss–”

“You’re injured,”Bucky said, trying to keep it as neutral as possible.

“You dropped abuilding on me,” Tony protested, then made a pained sound. “Yes, dammit. Ithink my hand’s crushed. If I had Friday up, she could tell me for sure, andthen–”

“I know you have apharmaceutical suite on board,” Bucky said. “Is there anyway to manuallyactivate the painkillers?”

“Yeah,” Tony said.“But I don’t–”

“You do. Let mehelp you. Talk me through it, I know you can’t move much.”

“You got a hexwrench shoved up your ass, or–”

Bucky reached inhis belt pouch and pulled one out.

“How in the nameof fuck do you–”

“DUM-E swiped itfor me a few months ago, after that incident with the Wrecking Crew. I thoughtit might be good if someone knew how to get you out of your clothes. Now, tellme what to do.”

“Take me on a dateand bring me flowers, I’m easy,” Tony said. Then, nodding, “there’s a hiddenrelease manual just under the left armpit. You have to use the hex to unscrewtwo – yeah, right there.”

It took longerthan Bucky would have liked to get into the suit’s manual controls, but Tonytalked him through it. Finally, the chest piece was opened up. “Leave the rightarm there,” Tony said. “If I’m too far out, the injection system won’t work.”He tugged his right hand out of the suit. “Ta-da.”

“You keep amedical shunt set up–”

“It’s a modifiedPICC line,” Tony said. “Temporary-permanent. I have to replace it about once ayear, but–”

“The things you doto yourself to fight crime,” Bucky said, shaking his head.

“You’re one totalk, Message-in-a-bottle,” Tony said. “It’s efficient.”

“Okay. This one?”

Tony took a deepbreath. “Yeah, uh, dial it up a bit. Now that I’m out of the suit, I think– Ithink I have broken ribs.”

“You’re gonna goto sleep on me?” Bucky dialed in a double-dosage of pain meds and musclerelaxers.

“Yeah,” Tony said,“probably. You can hold my hand and sing me to sleep, if you want.”

“Oh, I want to,”Bucky said, coming around to sit by the side of the Iron Man suit. “Here, youcan put your head on my shoulder, probably more comfortable than this rock.”

“I dunno,” Tonysaid. “They don’t call you a brick wall for–” Tony took a breath, shallowerthat time, and then…

Fell asleep.

When the team dugthem out, nearly two hours later, Bucky was still holding Tony’s hand.

*

Two days later,when Tony woke up in medical–

“Hey,” he said,turning his head to see Bucky sitting there, sprawled in an uncomfortablechair. Their fingers were still linked. Or, quite probably, linked again. Tonyhad a cast on one arm, and bandages around his chest. A cannula in his nose.And another tube he didn’t even want to think about, going other places. Ug.Decathing was so uncomfortable. “What’s this?”

Bucky opened thosebeautiful eyes. 

“Flowers,” hesaid, voice hoarse, pointing to the table. “An’ if you’ll consider checkin’ youout of this dump as a date–”

“You’re aromantic,” Tony said. “I should have guessed.”

“Is that a yes?”

“That’s a yes.”

DUM-E APPRECIATION HEBDOMAD

For today’s Rec day of the Hebdomad organized by the @winterirondiscord:

Anima by Arboreal Bucky had always been able to hear the voices of the things around him. DUM-E is such an absolute sweetheart in this, trying to take care of Tony. And I love how he’s the one that gets Bucky and Tony to meet, it’s so incredibly adorable.

Best Bot by journeythroughtherain DUM-E likes seeing his creator happy, and this new person in the lab seems to make it happen. He's got a new mission now: Making sure this new person sticks around. It took actual, physical effort not to squee when reading this. DUM-E is, indeed, the best bot.

A Bot's Work is Never Done by ali_aliska DUM-E has decided that PAPA TON-E needs to smile more often, which means DUM-E might have to run over a few feet, make better smoothies, and decide who brings PAPA TON-E the most JOY (the current answer - FRIEND BUCK-E). Not to worry because DUM-E is the bot for the job (even if it means locking his favorite humans in the SERVER ROOM until they stop fighting). Yes, dear DUM-E, your humans are absolutely terrible at communicating. Fortunately, DUM-E is there to help and be awesome.

SFW Rec Saturday: Hurt/Comfort

Second Time's the Charm by Tahlruil Bucky's face did something complicated, though he didn't actually say anything. It was a refreshing change from almost everyone else he was friends with. They just didn't understand - they just didn't see the Tiberius Stone that he did. Ty had a hard time letting his guard down, that was all. That he was willing to do that for Tony was awesome and he was tired of everyone giving him shit for it. With Bucky though, he could pretend that it was just the guy's resting bitch face and not a reflection of his opinion on Ty. "Seems like a cranky guy." Tony could kiss him for the dismissive sentence. Pepper, Rhodey and Steve all would have gone on a rant. Not Bucky. "So what are you workin' on? If it's world domination remember that I'm on your team." Bucky is honestly a great friend here, and I love how supportive he is. He is such a sweetheart.

Over The Line, Your Voice Lights Me On Fire by ISC When he gets the first voicemail Bucky listens and deletes without a second thought. New phone now that he's back, probably just a simple misdial. With the second, he listens and deletes, convinced that the caller will realize their mistake when this ‘Jarvis’ never returns their call. The third and fourth he keeps with guilty conscious because there is something about the other man's voice that his broken brain latches onto. With the fifth, tearful and pleading, Bucky confesses to Steve who convinces him to call the number and tell the guy he misdialed. When he finally begins to work up the nerve the sixth comes through it stops him in his tracks. 'Hey Jarvis, just me. I’m OK, mostly. A little beat up, but hey, that’s Howard. I just wanted… I just.... goddammit. Fuck J I miss you so much! God. Final semester of MIT starts soon and Rhodey won't be there and you aren't here because you're gone and it's all my fault!’ Broken sobbing interrupted the message and Bucky felt his heart constrict. ‘Why’d you have to die Jarvis? Why’d you have to leave me alone with Howard? I need you. I…' Still one of my absolute favorite fics, as is its (as yet unfinished) sequel. I reread this often and I love it just as much every time. Neither of them are okay, but they help one another out a lot. [TW: mentions of child abuse and suicide]

On A Scale From Panic To Malfunction by petroltogo Turning into a mindless killing machine isn’t what one might call a conventional reaction to a panic attack. It’s a good thing for Bucky then that Tony has never cared much for conventions anyways. Tony does not at all care to be worried, instead helping out the way he usually does - in whatever way he can. Their developing relationship is amazing.

Find a Way by SierraNovembr Avengers get hurt with unfortunate frequency, and Tony is there for them in ways that Bucky wouldn’t have even considered. Tony showing his support for the others in whatever way works best for them is my jam. He's an awesome friend and I love him (as does Bucky, really :P)

The Best Laid Plans (of Mice and Men) by Arboreal It was Annalise who noticed their small visitor first. “Tony,” the spider daemon said softly, skittering up the collar of his dress shirt, two of her eight legs resting delicately against his cheek, “Don’t startle them, but I believe we have a guest. Look, by the coffee table.” This is a completely adorable post-CW fic (again, proceed with caution if not Team Iron Man) that has Bucky and Tony slowly growing closer, with some Daemon assistance.

Give your brain some self-care by focusing on something positive and less horrible.

<3 Sincerely,

The Committee to Promote Dum-E Appreciation Hebdomad on Tumblr

SFW Rec Friday: Soulmates AU

Today's Forecast by Finely Honed (jaqen_hgar) Loneliness had followed Tony Stark his entire life, so they were on pretty good terms. Ignoring those empty places inside of himself was easier once the day was in full swing, but the mornings had a way of slipping a knife between his ribs, and getting him right in the heart. The last place Tony expected to find the cure for his condition was on TV, but now watching the morning weather report has become the highlight of his day. Well, it was less the weather, and more the weatherman. One look at Bucky Barnes making some adorably lame joke about umbrellas, all lopsided smile and sparkling eyes, and Tony was in love. They are so incredibly adorable... And then they almost mess it up xD but that’s just typical, isn’t it, and the ending is so sweet... [Note: this story requires being logged into Ao3]

The Tsum of Our Parts by Shi_Toyu Tony couldn’t remember a time when he hadn’t had his soul Tsum. The little thing had appeared as soon as Tony was born, which wasn’t completely unheard of. It just meant that his soulmate was older than him, old enough to have already developed their own Tsum characteristics, so maybe early teenage years. That happened all the time. It wasn’t even particularly scandalous. They’d probably meet later in life, when the age gap didn’t mean quite so much. What was unusual was how cold his Tsum was. I love the character development in this, as well as the friendship between Tony and Steve.

What's Good for the Goose by Taste_is_Sweet We all have soulmates, and every soulmate pair shares an animal guide. The Guide is there to lead you to your One True Love, and they represent the aspects of the psyche that you both share. They appear when you're about to meet your soulmate, and often materialize in moments of great personal crisis, offering hope and support. There are stories upon stories about how someone's Guide appeared to lead them to their One True, or how the barest glimpse of their Guide eased their hearts and gave them hope in the midst of despair. The newly-rescued almost always attribute their Guide with giving them the strength and courage to hang on. Animal Guides are ephemeral, ethereal, and elusive. They are, most often, no more than a warm presence or flicker out of the corner of one's eye. They are incarnate symbols of perseverance, optimism and hope. Foretellers of happiness, and the grand destiny of love. Except for geese. Geese are assholes. Geese are the best. They’re not easy, clearly, but they are more than worth it in the end. I love how very geese they are, and I adore the ending. [Note - there are more WinterIron soulmate stories in this series which are also definitely worth reading]

SFW Rec Thursday: Enemies to Friends to Lovers

People like you must be the world's loneliest creatures by avienexjel tony stark is rich and popular and an arrogant asshole. in other words: his iq rivals einstein's, he's slept with most of his "friends" at least once, and he's so fucking lonely that sometimes he wakes up in the middle of the night and cries into the cold sheets on the empty side of the bed. it's no different at SHIELD boarding school, at first. half the student body hates him, half want to be him, nothing new. that is, until tony accidentally breaks james barnes's prosthetic arm, and he suddenly finds the most vulnerable pieces of himself surfacing whether he wants them to or not. Truly follows the prompt, which is usually not my cup of tea. I will admit that the earlier chapters of this story have had me literally screaming at my screen because of the utter injustice. It's still unfinished, but I still do like it so far (after getting over the beginning :P) and at least they're redeeming themselves.

Trust Falls by Niki Doctor Strange has a plan to tie Bucky Barnes to someone who can be trusted to never misuse the command words, someone who will always do right by him. The spell has side effects. It also chooses a person no one – including Tony himself – expected. The growing bond and the increasing trust between them is incredibly sweet. That spell was SO right.

Such Sweet Revenge by ali_aliska When the Rogues are back in the States after being pardoned, the New Avengers want nothing to do with them and as far as Tony is concerned, if he never speaks to them again, it'll be too soon. After all, he didn't spend the last year putting himself (and his family) back together only for his former co-workers to ruin all of his hard work. But then he gets a hand-written letter from the Winter Soldier himself, apologizing for the events that transpired and an off-handed comment from Rhodey about Rogers failing to take care of an obviously miserable Bucky Barnes sets in motion Tony's new, oh-so-evil plan to get some payback. After all, what better revenge than to steal the Winter Soldier away from his best friend? The only problem: Tony sucks at being vengeful, but apparently he's an expert at inadvertently falling in love. An absolutely amazing story that I would advise anyone to read. I love it so much. (Again, caution advised if you're not Team Iron Man though.)

SFW Rec Wednesday: Fluff

As you may notice, I took that fairly literally for these recs :P

Puppy Love by Reioka (which expands on this post) Bucky is learning to become a person again. When some guy starts crying all over Natasha's dog, he decides he's doing better than he originally thought. They are so adorable and fluffy and I love them so so much.

The Avengepurrs by NarutoRox Tony may or may not have ulterior motives for frequenting his favorite cat café, The Winter Snuggler. The motives may or may not have anything to do with the café's very charming - and very hot - owner, Bucky Barnes. I squee every time. The cats, and the pining, and the misunderstanding... Yeah, I love it.

Ducks in a Row by NotEvenCloseToStraight Tony finds duck eggs and hatches them. Not even the Winter Soldier can resist a caring sweet Momma Tony. The Winter Soldier has good taste, because oh my God is this adorable.
