Summary
Tony Stark is not at all bitter about being a submissive. Not at all. Why should he be? Sure, his whole life has been one shit show after another, because he is a sub, but why would he be bitter about it? No. Reason. At All.
Then he meets "The Avengers" a group of people helping abused subs. They are good people. Even the two Doms working there.
Not that Tony notices them or anything. They might look like they fell right out of his dreams, but it's not like he is interested, you know.
And who would ever want someone as broken as him?
(This is not an original set up. But I really wanted to write it. So: hurt, comfort, boys in love, lots of sarcasm and people being protective of Tony. There will be no magical healing because he got boyfriends. But he will get better, he will have help!)

Summary
Therapy's a bitch, but PTSD is worse. An in-depth character study of Bucky Barnes as he reconciles his years with Hydra in the wake of Civil War.
------
I don’t really know who I am. I do know that James Buchanan Barnes is dead. He’s a pile of bones at the bottom of a ravine. He’s a side bar in some other guy’s museum exhibit that might not even exist anymore. James Barnes would puke if he could see what he became. His parents and sister and friends would cry.
I don’t know what’s left over now, but I know it’s not good. And I don’t think it can ever be good.

Summary
Sam’s been on Grindr for quite a while and no one’s really grabbed his attention as fast as BroodyTop has. And it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that he could stick Bucky’s head on Broody’s body and they’d be twins, but it kind of does. Because maybe he’s been crushing on the centenarian assassin since Louisiana. Maybe he’s been hoping Bucky would still be there on the living room couch when he wakes up.
~~~~~
Back in New York, Bucky checks the new message from his recent Grindr chat, “Leah! Why’d you name me BroodyTop, are you insane?”
OR Sam and Bucky hook up on Grindr but have no clue they're talking to each other.

Summary
A broken, disillusioned Steve Rogers is afflicted by a delusion that the mysterious assassin who nearly killed him is actually his best friend, who died 70 years ago. SHIELD wants to lock him up and return him to being a perfect, sparkling nationalist symbol as quickly as possible. Sam Wilson, who has wrestled with his own disillusionment and his own ghosts, knows that Steve needs compassion and the support of a true friend, not a forced regime of recovery that takes away what is left of his shattered autonomy.
Meanwhile, as Natasha tries to track down the Winter Soldier, her discoveries get more and more disturbing. She uncovers footage of the Soldier being subjected to, and forced to commit, horrific acts to maintain Hydra's cruel hierarchy. What's more, his resemblance to Steve's dead friend is too close to be coincidence. Sam and Natasha grow determined to stop the Soldier from being recaptured by his abusers, but how will Steve react when he learns the true extent of the Soldier's torture, and the true horror of what he was twisted into?
Is the Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes? Or is he a thing wearing Bucky Barnes's face?
Which of those things is worse?

Summary
Theon’s career is dead. He's worth less than the gutter water he pukes into, and there’s no one left to call. So when a stranger approaches with an offer—money, validation, maybe even purpose—he takes it.
Fuck it. If you can't escape your own story, you might as well put on a show.
