When the love of Tony's life dies while deployed overseas, Steve - his spouse's best friend - is there to help him pick up the pieces. And while Tony lets himself take comfort in Steve's friendship and shared grief, he refuses to entertain the thought of opening his heart to anyone else - until the day he wakes up and realizes he's quite possibly falling in love with his dead husband's best friend.
Meanwhile Steve, though devastated by Bucky's loss, is determined to take care of Tony for Bucky's sake - it was practically his dying wish, after all. But as time passes and hearts begin to heal, Steve soon finds his feelings for Tony are less-than-platonic - and that Tony might even feel the same way.
But can he really start a relationship with his dead best friend's husband?
Working through guilt and grief and the ghost that is Bucky's memory, Steve and Tony cautiously decide to cultivate this thing between them. And just as everything starts falling into place and they build a life for themselves, Tony gets a call that once again sends it crashing down around them.

But then what if after 2 years he broke up with you and you are completely heartbroken? What if Steve was still around? Since Tony never died we never see the scene of the trio of people who then get series (y'all know the scene I'm talking about don't pretend you don't) so Wanda and Bucky never actually meet? What happens if you were also frozen in ice for 70 years and 4 years after Steve comes out he finds you? Then you fall in love with Bucky. Ok so I know it's crazy but I wanted to make a fluffy light hearted story about Bucky and how he helps you through your break up with Tony and your past with HYDRA cause he knows how it feels. And you eventually fall in love with the cute little things he does like call you doll or just grab you by the waist and dance with you at three in the morning when you're up to because of your nightmares or because you managed to find your way to the kitchen. Fluffy fluff. Nothing but fluff.Complete

They loved each other quietly, in glances and gestures, in promises they never dared to speak aloud. From the dusty alleyways of 1930s Brooklyn to the war-torn battlefields of the 1940s, Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes were inseparable. But time, war, and pain pulled them apart-and when the world finally stopped burning, they returned to each other only as friends. Lifelong friends. Nothing more. Until Bucky tries to marry someone else. In a world where Steve is still Captain America and Bucky still bears the scars of the Winter Soldier, the past refuses to stay buried. When Tony Stark discovers old footage of a young Steve and Bucky-laughing, dancing, holding hands-the illusion shatters. At the wedding reception, with the ink still wet on the vows, Bucky's fiancée finds the truth and makes a scene that leaves Bucky devastated. Shame. Fury. Love. It was always him. Now, Bucky has to face everything he never said, and Steve must decide if it's too late-or if love, like memory, can survive anything.Complete
