2019 Spring Fling: Gift List
As always, a huge, heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who was a part of the exchange this year; the helpers, the participants, the people now leaving comments and kudos, and everyone who helped spread the word by liking and sharing our posts. This exchange wouldn’t have been possible without you.
You’re the best, you rock, we love you!
And now, without further ado: the complete 2019 WinterIron Spring Fling Gift List!
Enjoy! 💕
Sparks Fly by tisfan for Lets_call_me_Lily Tony travels to Shelbyville, Indianna to fix Bucky’s arm… and while he’s there, maybe they’ll go see the fireworks show together.
🌸🌸🌸
The Winter Sentinel by james for tarot_card Bucky tests as a Sentinel when he's thirteen, and he knows it means his life won't be easy.
Which is a bit of an understatement, really.
🌸🌸🌸
When We Met In Paris by TheVagabondBoy for scarynoodles Neither Tony nor Bucky expected to run into each other in a bar in Paris.
🌸🌸🌸
Mechanical Creations by celtic7irish for yourselenite Tony Stark is a tattoo artist who gains inspiration from all things technical.  When Tall, Dark, and Handsome walks in wanting a cover-up tattoo, Tony is only too happy to oblige. Oh, and did he mention? He really, really likes that metal arm.
🌸🌸🌸
My soul screams for you by IronEyes for Potrix In Siberia Tony learns how his parents really died. In Siberia Tony gets betrayed by one of his best friends. In Siberia Tony finds the killer of his parents and… his soulmate. Tony has no idea how to handle this, but he can’t stay away from Bucky.
🌸🌸🌸
The Beautiful Light of Madness in Your Eyes by tisfan for shadowgrl94 In the Soul Stone, time is relative, people are at peace. It is a paradise, but also a trap. Can Tony break the trap and bring everyone home?
Especially when he risks losing the only thing that matters...
🌸🌸🌸
To keep you safe inside my arms by ShadowsintheClouds for celtic7irish Tony and Bucky had been secretly dating for a while. They loved having their little secret. It was something special between them. But, a night out by the lake with the other Avengers threatens to take their secret away from them.
🌸🌸🌸
Kiss Me Deadly by yourselenite for MassiveSpaceWren Just a skip and a jump back in time before World War I where Anthony Stark and James Barnes are secretly together in the early 1900s.
🌸🌸🌸
Hold You Close (To Keep You Warm) by ChaoticDemon for sara_wolfe Five times Tony and Bucky cuddled for warmth and one time they didn't bother with the pretense.
🌸🌸🌸
Where No Other Love Goes by Stark-N-Barnes for TheSopherfly “I want to,” he confessed.
Bucky flinched.
“What?”
Tony stared at him with a look in his eyes that spoke more volume than words, as the realisation wrapped itself around Bucky.
“I don't want to hurt you…”  he whispered.
“Bucky…”
~or~
That time Bucky was undoubtedly in love with Tony, but didn't think he could have him.
🌸🌸🌸
And the light, it shines from you by Lets_call_me_Lily for its_inherited Tony and Bucky snuggling in bed; it's been a long day.
🌸🌸🌸
Connection and Intent by SierraNovembr for sleepoverwork When Tony’s father is murdered, he takes a desperate risk to uncover the truth and save the man he loves. It changes his life forever.
🌸🌸🌸
Puppy Love by Reioka for ShadowsintheClouds Bucky is learning to become a person again. When some guy starts crying all over Natasha's dog, he decides he's doing better than he originally thought.
🌸🌸🌸
Howlin' For You by justanotherpipedream for james When the sun goes down, Sheriff Bucky sets up his rifle, ready to shoot any gnoll, ghoul or beast that tries to raid his small town in the cover of the night. Night after night, Bucky keeps watch, running himself ragged all the while. Worried for his friend, Steve offers a solution to his problem.
“So your solution is that I get myself a mail order bride? An’ then what?”
“Or groom. We knew you like both options. You need a partner Bucky.”
🌸🌸🌸
Promises by Iron_Eirlyssa for Lunatical When a mission goes wrong, it leaves Bucky and Tony trapped together, waiting for help. That might turn out to be a good thing in the end, though.
🌸🌸🌸
We Fuck With the Lights On by badgerling for tisfan Bucky wakes up naked in a room. Tony Stark wakes up naked in the same room. Turns out, they're both actually okay with that.
🌸🌸🌸
Redemption by Lunatical for calmena After remembering they were responsible for the deaths of Howard and Maria Stark, Bucky and the Soldier start watching over Tony in a desperate attempt to redeem themselves. When the Avengers get ready to raid the Hydra base that's housing Loki's scepter, they're there to intervene.
Of course, they didn't expect to end up at Stark Tower, living alongside a bunch of superheroes, and they certainly didn't think they'd end up falling in love with Tony Stark. Especially since the man still doesn't know what they've done.
Will Tony ever be able to forgive them?
🌸🌸🌸
The Stranger in the Woods by TheSopherfly for JenJo “Mage shouldn’t be walkin’ in these woods alone at night,” James said.
Mage. So James knew, then. About Tony’s powers. Tony breathed deeply, the warm ghost of steam rising from his mug and tickling his nostrils. “Why’s that?” he asked, curiosity getting the better of him. He’d felt something in the forest, of course, but forests were always full of creatures and strange energies. Too many trees in one place scrambled his senses almost as well as a confusion charm.
“There are things in here that like mages a little too much,” James said, and Tony hung on the words in fascination. “Plenty of things that don’t like mages, too.”
🌸🌸🌸 
Fine Art by endof_theline for SierraNovembr Tony is a pre-tenure professor at the national defense research institute. His life is a ball of stress until he meets Bucky the barista at the local and remembers that there’s more to life than the next publication, but he might just be able to help with it.
🌸🌸🌸
Roses for a Wallflower by tarot_card for burbear Bucky keeps finding flowers: in his favorite books, on his spot on the couch, in his breakfast cereal box, you name it. When he looks up what the names are, he also finds their meanings, ranging from forgiveness to friendship to even romantic feelings.
🌸🌸🌸
(Don't) Believe My Words by FreyaS for IronEyes Tony Stark grew up knowing he was a disappointment and a failure in the eyes of not only his father but his eventual soulmate. After all, the words "I wish I'd never met you" can only be a rejection, right?
Bucky knew that he'd love the soulmate that would give him his beautiful soulwords but sometimes he feared they would never measure up to his celebrity crush, Tony Stark.
🌸🌸🌸
a tale of the lil' mer who could by sleepoverwork for badgerling Little mermaid meets Anthony Edward Stark and it turns out about as well as how you think it would.
(The scene of the shipwreck with Ariel meeting and saving Prince Eric, bless Part of your World, still one of my favorite songs even after all of these years)
Tony just needed space, which is exactly why he idiotically swam to the surface after dark, away from the safety and constriction that came from his pod, his home.
If given the chance, Tony knows he could find and save his parents. He just didn't know how to prove to everyone and the spirits of the sea he could, and would, do just that.
🌸🌸🌸
You Are My Sunshine by EchoSiriusRumme for gryvon Tony is captured and deaged while on a business trip, but the team - his family - jumps right into action to take care of their tiny, shy resident genius while they figure out how to fix this.  Or at least, they try to, concern growing each time he freezes at the sight of Steve.
But that was something personal, whispered to Bucky between frustrated tears one night, so Bucky wouldn’t be telling that secret unless push came to shove.
Too bad for Tony....it does.
🌸🌸🌸
Perestroika by blue_pointer for InsaneJuliann According to Doctor Strange's vision, Tony Stark is the only man who can save the universe from the Decimation. But who will save Tony Stark? Bucky must use the Time stone to travel to the past and make sure Tony makes it safely to 2023.
🌸🌸🌸
Drowning by sara_wolfe for EchoSiriusRumme It was only supposed to be a prank. It wasn't supposed to go this wrong...
🌸🌸🌸
Travelling the world only to end up home by JenJo for hopespym Bucky has been travelling with his son to try and find a blacksmith who can fix his arm.
He ends up back where everything started for him, in a place where he had once dared to dream of a future, before he had his heart broken.
~
Tony has spent his time building a name for himself as the blacksmith who can fix anything and everything. He never expected to see the man who broke his heart walk through his door.
🌸🌸🌸
What happens in Zurich by siyuttov for TheVagabondBoy Tony Stark is sent to evaluate the Winter Soldier, who claims to have defected from Hydra and is hoping SHIELD can help take down his former employers.
🌸🌸🌸 
Not Ideal but Workable by calmena for marsmaywander Tony and Bucky go on a date. It goes about as wrong as it can, to the surprise of exactly nobody.
They make it work, anyway.
🌸🌸🌸
tell me who i am (because i don't know) by scarynoodles for ChaoticDemon “Is that all you called me here for?”
Tony stands up abruptly, walking around the desk and glancing out one of the windows. “No, actually. See, Pepper’s been nagging me to get an actual bodyguard since that happened. Usually, I would just argue that I don’t need one, since – technically, I’m my own bodyguard, but now she won’t let up since I was in the suit and still couldn’t fight back against a civilian.” Tony ignores the heat crawling up the back of his neck at that. It had been pretty embarrassing that he’d been jumped like that. “I figured, I might as well hire someone on my own terms before she did it for me. And you’re a good guy, clearly, otherwise you wouldn’t have done what you did. So, want to become my bodyguard?”
-
It's 2012, and the Avengers have defeated Loki and his army. Tony has a new bodyguard, and all seems well.
Except – his bodyguard acts really strangely at times, and he doesn't seem to be caught up with the world around him. He has a dark, mysterious past which he refuses to divulge beyond little tidbits. Once, he claimed to have killed people. Not to mention he reminds Tony of someone he used to know – someone he used to love – decades ago.
🌸🌸🌸
How to Survive a Haunted House by marsmaywander for Briz “Lord save me from crazy white boys,” were probably going to be Rhodey’s last words. He didn’t care what his friend said; this place was haunted, and they were both gonna end up dead because Tony was too taken in by the ample closet space.
🌸🌸🌸
it starts and ends with memory by Rowantreeisme for Arboreal Tony Carbonell is a completely normal professor at MIT. He tutors kids, both in his class and not, and builds things in his free time. He feeds stray cats and drinks too much coffee and wears dorky shirts to class. He's also an Avenger and the son of the late Howard Stark. He's pretty sure, though, that no one except his two closest friends and his AI's know this. And then the Winter Soldier breaks into his home.
🌸🌸🌸
Will you? [Comic] by MassiveSpaceWren for FreyaS Tony hadn't planned his proposal like this...
🌸🌸🌸
Give or Take by beir for BrightEyesIllusionist After everything, the prince could only hope his ill-fated plan would work.
🌸🌸🌸
Near Miss by Arboreal for justanotherpipedream  A car accident, the police had said.  He could have lost them to something as stupid as a car accident.  
He could have lost them, and his last memories of them would be of arguing with his father and ignoring his mother.
Bucky's trigger words begin to fail.  This changes things.
🌸🌸🌸
Tony Stark's Home for Wayward Assassins by gryvon for Stark-N-Barnes Tony Stark's too busy running Stark Resilient and making technological breakthroughs in clean energy and medical technology to pay too much attention to all the superheroes that have been popping up since that crazy horned guy trashed New York City. Then one shows up at his house in the middle of the night demanding Tony fix his broken metal arm and Tony can't in good conscious kick him out after.
Or, how a Tony Stark that never became Iron Man ended up with a Russian assassin living in his mansion.
🌸🌸🌸
Moonshine by InsaneJuliann for blue_pointer Tony's a werewolf and a single dad, which means he doesn't have much time for the dating scene. But a small push from friends leads to him meeting Bucky. Totally human, great, and very interested Bucky. And for the first time in a while, Tony's interested in more than just a life that orbits around only his daughter.
🌸🌸🌸
Fake It 'Til You Make It by hopespym for Reioka So sure. Since he’d gotten back from his station overseas, life hadn’t really been treating him too good.
Before he’d gone he’d had no trouble at all finding someone for the night and even managed a couple of relationships that had all (seemingly) been going pretty well until he’d been left behind as the others continued on with their lives, and after he’d gotten back he hadn’t even really bothered anything.
And all Tinder got him was mugged one time.
🌸🌸🌸
Iron Man: Legend of the Seven Seas by BrightEyesIllusionist for Rowantreeisme Tony Stark is a black hearted pirate who ran away from home years ago. His latest target? The legendary Book of Peace which maintains the treaty between the kingdoms. But the God of Chaos has other plans for the book, and yet more for the black hearted pirate.
🌸🌸🌸
fight 'til we see the sunlight by burbear for siyuttov There are days where Tony regrets not going back on his word, where he wishes he had told Steve “No, actually, keep that murderer out of my house and as far from me as possible.” Pepper and Rhodey even said he should. Not in as many words, certainly not because of Barnes, but because they know Tony.  
Tony knows, though, that the safest place for Barnes—and everyone else, since the first day people found out about the Winter Soldier more and more civilians were getting grand ideas about bringing him in—is the Tower. His only stipulation is that Steve keeps Barnes away from him.
His timer is steadily ticking toward zero, to the day he meets his soulmate, but to be honest? Tony has a lot more on his mind than someone fate picked out for him.
🌸🌸🌸
When It Rains It Pours by DreamcatchersDaughter for beir Bucky's sure Tony is half werewolf, Tony is sure Bucky is all fae.... What happens when they are both wrong?
Or 3 times these idiots got it wrong and 1 time they got it so right.
🌸🌸🌸
Hope and Heroes by Zola9612 for endof_theline Young Tony was born without a soul mark. How does that affect his life?
🌸🌸🌸
Your Hand In Mine by celtic7irish for Harpyienkind Omega Tony Stark is the son of Lord Stark.  Ever since he presented as an Omega, he has been promised to Lord Barnes, a ruthless warrior of Hydra that he has never even met.  Three months pregnant by his lover and heat-partner, Bucky, Tony is terrified for both himself and the unborn child.  But Tony Stark has never backed down before, and  he’s not about to start now.
🌸🌸🌸
share and celebrate by Potrix for Zola9612 It’s been almost twenty-four hours, but still none of it seems or feels entirely real.
Well, to be fair, learning about the existence of parallel universes, finding out there’s at least one other Earth that has been destroyed by a threat his Earth isn’t even fully aware of yet, and getting two other-universe versions of people he’s currently not exactly on speaking terms with dropped into his lap has been kind of a lot.
It might take Tony another day—or year, more likely—to wrap his head around all of that.
🌸🌸🌸
Wanted: Boyfriend by Briz for DreamcatchersDaughter Well, it was not every day that a job offer knocked on his door looking like something straight out of a porno.
🌸🌸🌸
Cuddles by Briz for Iron_Eirlyssa Thing is, Tony likes touch. In fact, scratch that - he loves touch. He finds out that so does Bucky.

2019 Gifts: Batch 3
Fine Art by endof_theline for SierraNovembr Tony is a pre-tenure professor at the national defense research institute.

Well, it looks like AO3 isn’t sending out notifications. Sorry about that, everyone. I hope there’s just a delay, but check through the batches here as they’re posted to make sure you don’t miss your gift.
Quick question regarding the already revealed works.
People whose gifts have already been revealed; did you get an AO3 notification that your gift was now online?
I’m trying to figure out if that feature was somehow turned off, or if AO3 has lag, or if there’s some other kind of problem.
Thanks!

2019 Gifts: Batch 2
Where No Other Love Goes by Stark-N-Barnes for TheSopherfly “I want to,” he confessed.
Bucky flinched.
“What?”
Tony stared at him with a look in his eyes that spoke more volume than words, as the realisation wrapped itself around Bucky.
“I don't want to hurt you…”  he whispered.
“Bucky…”

Night after night, Bucky keeps watch, running himself ragged all the while. Worried for his friend, Steve offers a solution to his problem.

When are the works being revealed?? I have been waiting so patiently and I am so excited but the time on the page for the reveal has already passed. Please release them soon! I can see the tags and I need to read them!!
The first batch of works has just been posted!
But, as I’ve said in a few posts already, they will be revealed over the course of the day, not all at once. And, unfortunately, the time on the AO3 page changes on me every other time I work on something in the collection, so they’re all set to default times most of the time.

2019 Gifts: Batch 1
Sparks Fly by tisfan for Lets_call_me_Lily Tony travels to Shelbyville, Indianna to fix Bucky’s arm… and while he’s there, maybe they’ll go see the fireworks show together.
🌸🌸🌸
The Winter Sentinel by james for tarot_card Bucky tests as a Sentinel when he's thirteen, and he knows it means his life won't be easy.
Which is a bit of an understatement, really.
🌸🌸🌸
When We Met In Paris by TheVagabondBoy for scarynoodles Neither Tony nor Bucky expected to run into each other in a bar in Paris.
🌸🌸🌸

IMPORTANT: changing the publication date of your work
This is important if you’ve posted your work early on in the exchange. Once the admins reveal the works and authors, your work will show up in the Bucky/Tony tag as usual, but it will be backdated to the date you originally added it to the challenge collection. That means if, for example, you’ve posted your work on May 8th, your work will be back on the same page with all the other works that have been posted around that date, even though it will only be revealed on June 4th.
That’s unfortunate because it makes it harder for people to find your work. But worry not; there’s a way around it.
To change the publication date of your work, edit your already posted work, and go to Associations. There, you have to check the Set a different publication date box, which will allow you to change the publication date.
Tumblr media
If you have any questions, send us an ask or admin Potrix a message, or contact us by email ([email protected]).

If I’m just finishing up the last chapter of my submission, can I post what I have and post the last chapter as soon as it is done? I’m hurrying as fast as I can but I don’t want to rush too much and do a bad job.
The rule is that a gift should be posted in full by the time the reveal rolls around. So, as long as you have it finished before tomorrow (June 4th), that’s okay.
Please also contact us off anon (ask, message, email), though, so that we know who’s asking for an extension and can mark it down.

Hey!! :) I have a tiny question, nothing too bad! I know the Work/Author Reveal is on June 4th. Do you have a exact time for that? So I know when to look out for the lovely fics!
We will be revealing them over the course of the day, not all at once, so I can't give you an exact time. Sorry!

Posting Guide
The check-in is over and done with, which means we’re one step closer to posting. If you’re not quite done yet, don’t worry; you still have another 10 days left to tweak and edit your gift.
All works need to be posted to the official AO3 collection by 8 A.M. CEST on June 3rd. Please make sure to check out the countdown, and see what exact time/day that is in your time zone.
How to post:
You have to post your work on AO3, and add it to the official collection so it will show up as an anonymous mystery work until the reveal on June 4th. Here’s how.
Open your draft/create a new work on AO3. Add your story/art, the tags, warnings, and everything else as usual.
Once you’re ready to post, scroll back up to ‘Associations’ where you’ll find the ‘2019 WinterIron Spring Fling (giftee name)’ option under ‘Open Assignments’.
Make sure to check the box next to ‘2019 WinterIron Spring Fling (giftee name)’.
Post your work. It will automatically be added to the collection, and be made an anonymous mystery work.
Tumblr media
Please do not post your work anywhere but the AO3 collection before June 4th. After all works have officially been revealed, you’re of course free to share your work on tumblr, or wherever else you want.
If you have any questions, send us an ask, email ([email protected]), or message Admin Potrix directly.

Check-In
Please read the checklist below carefully to make sure everything goes smoothly with your check-in.
The check-in must be completed by May 19th. We have a countdown to make sure there won’t be any time zone confusion.
To complete the check in, both artists and authors have to send us the rough draft of their finished work ([email protected]). For artists, that is a sketch of their finished work, for authors it is two-thirds (~1000 words) of their finished story.
AO3 usernames should be included somewhere so we know who is checking in.
People who are doing any of the other types of fanworks need to contact us as soon as possible so we can figure out what your rough draft needs to look like.
People who are finished with their gift and have already uploaded it to the AO3 collection can consider them automatically checked-in.
The check-in period is three days in order to make sure everyone can finish it in time. Please only contact us for an extension if absolutely necessary.
It is possible to drop out at any stage of the exchange. Please let us know immediately, though, so we can assign a pinch hitter.
People who fail to complete the check-in will be disqualified.
We will post a guide on how to add your work to the official AO3 collection once the check-in is over. We will, most likely, also be needing pinch hitters soon, so if you’d like to sign up, check out our pinch hitter page.
You should've gotten all of this information in an email as well. If you haven’t given us an email address during the sign-up, it will be sent to the email address you’ve signed up to AO3 with. Check your spam folder if the email hasn’t arrived yet.
If you have any questions, send us an email, an ask, or contact admin Potrix (ask or message).
