Handle With Care (слэш)

Tony likes to think he doesn't lie to himself, if not the rest of the world. So he knows that his insecurities are pretty much as textbook as they get. Abusive father, absent mother, misunderstood by his peers, almost murdered by that asshole. Yeah, it's pretty obvious why he shies away from emotional fucking honesty with anyone other than, you know, Pepper. That one time. Which had just such a great ending. Ugh.
When he finally gets over himself and accepts that Steve might be good, might be a good thing, a thing that he could possibly maybe actually deserve here, it should surprise him that Bucky fucking Barnes is recovered. It doesn't.
