NSFW Rec Sunday: Aftercare

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.

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.

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 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]

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.
