    Summary

    When the Rogues are back in the States after being pardoned, the New Avengers want nothing to do with them and as far as Tony is concerned, if he never speaks to them again, it'll be too soon. After all, he didn't spend the last year putting himself (and his family) back together only for his former co-workers to ruin all of his hard work.

    But then he gets a hand-written letter from the Winter Soldier himself, apologizing for the events that transpired and an off-handed comment from Rhodey about Rogers failing to take care of an obviously miserable Bucky Barnes sets in motion Tony's new, oh-so-evil plan to get some payback.

    After all, what better revenge than to steal the Winter Soldier away from his best friend?

    The only problem: Tony sucks at being vengeful, but apparently he's an expert at inadvertently falling in love.

    Summary

    Tony has watched the Greenland delegation since they arrived a fortnight ago, but it's been hard work getting close enough to see any of them. Once they made it known why they were here - specifically to negotiate a marriage between the Jarl and Tony - his handlers suddenly became more determined than ever to keep him confined.

    Well, none of that matters now: just three more steps and Tony will be able to look all he pleases. Two more steps. One.

    Tony looks up.

    Summary

    Tony’s dreamed of being allowed to ride in an airship -- it’s only too bad that his first flight is aboard the Red Star, a ship owned by the dreaded Winter Soldier, a man Tony’s only just been informed is to be his husband. The crew of the Star, however, don’t seem to see the Soldier as a fearsome beast at all, but a courageous and loyalty-inspiring commander. The truth must lie somewhere between the two extremes, and Tony will not rest easy until he knows which it is.

    Bucky’s prowess on the battlefield has raised him from poverty to princedom, but unlooked-for weath hadn’t saved his arm, or stopped his commanding officer from pressing him into an arranged marriage. Still, his betrothed is clever and charming and beautiful, and Bucky thinks he could get used to having Tony on his arm... If only Tony could learn not to be afraid of him.

    The Red Star will take several days to make the trip from Tony’s former home to the palace Bucky’s never even seen. They have only that long to discover whether they can be partners, or if they will part ways when the airship docks.

    Summary

    Tony dropped out of college to get away from his abusive father. When his longtime boyfriend reveals similar tendencies, Tony refuses to endure another moment of it, running away with nothing more than the cash in his pockets. He makes it to Virginia, where he's taken in by Bucky, a restaurant owner looking for an extra hand who's willing to be paid cash under the table.

    Bucky's been struggling for years: to keep the beachside restaurant he inherited from his parents above water (both financially and literally); to live down the fact that he's gay in a small southern town; to get over the man who's owned his heart since he was fourteen. But he's never had to struggle as hard as he is now, to keep his hands off Tony.
