Bucky Had Decided To Work On Christmas, Giving His Employees The Day Off While He Manned The Counter

Bucky had decided to work on Christmas, giving his employees the day off while he manned the counter of his coffee shop. Tony had also decided to work on Christmas. When Pepper disagreed with the idea, he dragged his laptop to a nice-looking coffee shop that would keep him provided with everything he needed to do what he wanted to do, and perhaps a little more.

A cute Tony/Bucky ficlet to wish everyone (and especially @the-kitteh, who was the first person to ever give me the gift of a fanfic) a very happy Holiday <3

They destroyed him and then they kept saying it wasn’t enough yet, he was still a bad person, he still needed to be broken down further... No. He’s been broken enough. More than enough. Let him ENJOY HIS LIFE, please.

you know what I miss from the early Iron Man movies?  The optimism.  The joy.  The ego.  This isn’t saying that I think Tony is egotistical (although to a certain extent he is), I’m saying that he had that rock star image.

I mean:

the stark expo?

the Senate hearing?

Making the suit?  Look at how proud he is of himself!  What an accomplishment!  This bitch is going places

LOOK AT HIS FACE, in any given scene of these two movies, almost all of them Tony’s got attitude, ego, a sense of hope.  Hell, lets go wild, lets add in the Avengers too:

HE’S JUST SUCH A DIFFERENT PERSON.  

a sink hole of human despair.  They’ve taken away his theme music, his house, his rock star persona, his hope, his joy, his fluffy hair…

I do fully understand the choice to give Tony PTSD (or whatever they are now calling this) because the guy has been through so much shit.  I’m not saying they couldn’t have done that.  I’m saying they completely changed everything about how they present his character and I miss the Tony that was, and could have been.  They stole so much light and happiness from this man and they said it was because he was recovering but they never fucking gave it back.  Look at his face in that last gif.  That’s a man who keeps thinking he’s found rock bottom but actually there’s farther to fall.

Look at the adorable story I got as a present!!! <3

Safe (Only In Your Loving Arms) by tonystans for Eirlyssa

“No eating in the lab, that’s poor etiquette.”

“And you’re all about etiquette and rules since when?”

Tony playfully rolled his shoulder and turned his head away from Bucky, acting the part of scandalized. “Since Steve gave me one lecture too many.”

Things are being cleared up, individually and (eventually) as a group as well.

Chapter 3 (of 4 chapters, as of today, because this was a good cut-off point, but I want it to end happy instead of just hopeful) of ‘Hate Me’. Bucky continues to be awesome, and things are improving. I hope you enjoy! <3

Look how adorable!

SIU’s Secret Santa! For @anthonystarhk

Tony: “Because Rhodes! Yours is far superior to mine! Also! It’s big and soft, like you.” ;)
