— tw: mentions of dr*gs, alcoholi*m, reh*b
Recovering drug addict and alcoholic Tony where everyone is almost ready to give up on him (or has given up entirely) until rehab aid, Deaf and Mute, Peter Parker is assigned to him. There's no frustated shouting, harsh words of reprimand, just gentle coaxing, understanding touches. There's no judgemental eyes just soft sad doe-like ones whenever he throws up or screams in frustration. Peter stays with him. Doesn't give up on him. Along the way Tony helps him too, enrolls him to speech recovery therapy, gets him checked out for possibilities to get his hearing back. It was so easy to help Peter. And little by little, the rehab aid became a friend, then a best friend, it gradually, slowly built until Tony realizes he had fallen for Peter. Hard. And he wants to be the best man for the kid.
Slowly but surely, his rehab went better than the past years, his withdrawal lessened, his body healthier. At the same time, he builds Peter a hearing aid, and Tony will always remember the look on his face when he first heard Tony's voice. With the help of the hearing aid and speech therapy, Peter gradually starts speaking again. His first work? "Tony." And god, Tony could've died happily when that first happened.
They took care of each other. Helped each other learn and grow. Until Tony can't do it anymore and confesses. He gets the sweetest "I love you too," in return.
He ends up marrying Peter a year later after his rehab. He wins countless rewards. His paper that he worked on with Peter regarding his condition got recognized. And when he wins a Nobel Prize, he stands at the podium, looking healthier than his previous years, gold ring on his finger as he says:
"First of all, I'd like to thank my life partner Peter Stark for helping me find my voice again. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be here— I'd probably be wearing something orange and doing a really hard time— but all thanks to him, he's given me reason to be better and be the best man to take care of him. I love you so much, Pete. Once again, My Mrs. Stark, everyone."
Despite the Avengers doing health magazine photo shoots and sharing their totally legit “workout routines”, Bucky Barnes is brutally honest.
When asked what he gets at a restaurant, he tells the reporter he gets what he’s hungry for.
When asked how often a day he works out, Bucky tells them he works out when he feels like he needs it.
Not every day is a contest to feel as healthy as possible for Bucky Barnes, and he would hate to make impressionable people feel that way.
Bonus points if Peter looks up to the way Bucky views his body and his lifestyle.
Normally it’s Tony who goes on the invention binge and disappears into his lab for an unknown amount of hours before reemerging half delirious with giant black circles under his eyes
So he knows he kind of deserves this when it happens to Peter after they get together
And as he’s sitting upright in bed, scared half to death from waking up to Peter standing in front of him and staring at him, he silently vows to apologize to Rhodey, Happy and Pepper for doing this to them multiple times in the past

Never forget:
Steve Rogers was a theatre kid, starred in movies, wore micro shorts and tights everyday on stage (Bucky: You're keeping the outfit right?), and lost his virginity to a groupie
Bucky Barnes is a nerd—eager to go to the Stark Expo science exhibit, read the Hobbit books as soon as they were released—and was also a great dancer. 1940s dating culture involved a lot of dancing, and good dancers got dates
dating a princessgirl is great until she exercises unilateral authority to keep snuggling you instead of letting you get up
the boys are on a donut date <3 (the bag Jason is holding has bagels for whenever Peter decides he's had enough sugar)
just wanted to draw them in their civies and Dog in all her glory cause it feels like I haven't actually drawn consistently in forever

what you need, my algorithm-rotten minded friend, is a grip
Tony: How are you so sinfully beautiful?
Peter: *Blushing*
Tony: See?! Proving my point!
