Why Tony Stark Is a Fascist, Actually... by tragic_fantasyfan21

Summary
In 1995, Umberto Eco — Italian novelist, semiotician, and childhood survivor of Italian fascism — published "Ur-Fascism," identifying fourteen features common to fascist ideology across its historical variations. He did not write it about Tony Stark. He did not need to.
This meta applies Eco's framework to Tony Stark's ideology as depicted across the MCU — from "a bigger stick" in Iron Man to "a suit of armor around the world" in Age of Ultron to EDITH in Far From Home.
It examines the prima nocta joke, the treatment of Wanda Maximoff as a Weapon of Mass Destruction, the Lagos witch hunt, and the moment Tony Stark's "peace through superior firepower" philosophy is placed in direct dialogue with HYDRA's founding principles.
It asks what we call a man who believes security requires the pre-emptive elimination of threats, that his judgment supersedes collective decision-making, and that acceptable casualties are simply the cost of his version of order.Eco had a word for it.
Alternative title: "He Wanted to Win the War Before It Starts" — Which Is Also What HYDRA Said.

Summary
“I wrote you a letter.” Bucky looked down and carefully folded the piece of paper. He got to his feet and offered it to Steve.
His brow furrowed. “What is this?”
“It’s the letter,” he explained.
Steve blinked. “You remembered an entire letter you wrote at basic?”
He nodded.
Steve looked down at the piece of paper and then back up at him.
“I think I kept it for a while,” he explained. “Must have reread it a lot, or something. I don’t know.”
Steve’s eyes started to mist. “You wrote me a letter.”
“I wrote you a letter.”
OR
Bucky was taken into custody during his visit at the Smithsonian, and Steve fights anybody who gets in his way while trying to get him back. Bucky doesn't remember Steve, but he knows him.

They LOOOOOVE each other. Angsty, intense, the type of codependency that can squeeze the most out of life. More vibes than smut but the smut is good.

Summary
“You know Barnes is going to kill me if you die in the jet.”
“I’m not going to die, Clint.” Steve wiped a hand across his face, noting the tremor. “I just need ta’ get home.”
Clint didn’t look convinced, far from it in fact, but he pulled it together enough to get them home. Standard gas protocol left Steve shipped off to medical while Clint and the jet went through detox. Despite them knowing exactly what the gas was made of, what the purpose was. He’d helped write the handbook, and his life partner was the primary reason an isolation period was mandatory, but that didn’t mean he had to be happy about it.
And he was very not happy about it. -

Summary
Steve remembers the day he and Bucky met back in 1930. Skinny as he was, Steve had watched the lean, strong boxer called Bucky for a while when he suddenly found himself alone in the gym with that same guy. And for all he'd thought he was invisible, Bucky quickly made him realize he hasn't been...

Summary
It’s just hard, really, if he’s honest: this time, more than the first, here in a new millennium, having found Bucky again against all odds, in a time where there was hope, where they could have been…
Well. It’s just that it’s bad enough to come in second place to a Stark once in his lifetime.
But twice might just be more than Steve can bear.

Summary
It's not every day that Peggy's life gets strange even by her own standards, but when she is told that there's a man at SSR HQ who looks and behaves kind of like Captain America, life gets strange. Because this man, if it indeed is Steve, has seen things she's afraid to imagine and was transformed in the process into something darker and more dangerous than the man she remembers.
But one thing never changed about him: his loyalty and devotion to Sergeant Barnes.
(Or the one where Steve goes back in time to save Bucky, Peggy joins him, recruits the Howlies and founds SHIELD, and maybe helps mend a broken relationship between broken people as well.) -

Bucky’s pretty sure he should be into getting fucked through the floor while walls explode around him like in that Mr and Mrs Smith movie that Clint loves. But he likes it like this. He likes being on his back with Steve looming above him, big and naked, blocking out the rest of the world.

Sometimes Bucky’s hands flex in Steve's direction. Neither of them knows exactly why, but at least one of them has a hunch.
Bucky touches everything but Steve, even though Steve is all he really wants to touch.
