Summary
When Tony misses his flight back home to New York for winter break, Bucky's quick to point out that Steve can drive him there himself. He's already headed that way, after all. It shouldn't be a problem.

Summary
“Maybe we shouldn’t see each other anymore,” Tony blurts out in a rush. “It’s—I think it’s for the best. If we stop.”
It takes a moment for the meaning of the words to register, but when it does, Bucky turns cold, stomach sinking. “Are—are you breakin’ up with me? Tony—”
“You didn’t do anything wrong,” Tony hurries to reassure, reading Bucky’s mind. “You were perfect, Bucky, I swear you were. Are. This. It’s not. It’s really not you,” he says with a small, humourless chuckle, “it’s me.”
Bucky looks at the tense line of Tony’s shoulders, at the sad set of his mouth, the defeat in his eyes, and he knows it’s the truth. Or, at least, what Tony believes to be true.
Or; sometimes, people mean well, but that doesn't always mean they know best. Bucky and Tony, unfortunately, have to learn that the hard way.

Summary
Bucky Barnes has a lot of regrets. Saving the Avengers' ally, Loki and earning himself a reward from the mischievous God of Lies counts pretty high on that list. Coincidentally, mating with Steve in an army tent counts pretty low on that same list, but not as low as falling in love with Tony Stark.
In which Bucky and Steve made a regretful but necessary decision in 1934 (and again in 1943), and Bucky and Tony make a much better one in 2016.

Summary
Tony Stark was pretty sure that the absolute worst time to get asked out by an incredibly talented, good-looking artist, who likes to paint - and defend - Iron Man, is when he's dying of palladium poisoning.
