The Wings Are Said To Be An Expression Of One's Soul, And The Way They Looked Could Be Quite Telling.

The wings are said to be an expression of one's soul, and the way they looked could be quite telling. So no one was surprised that Tony Stark never, ever showed his wings.

But perhaps, as he grows closer to the other Avengers and starts trusting them, as a relationship with the former Winter Soldier develops, he might end up being willing to show them one of the most private parts of himself.

Fills the following Bingos:

for the @tonystarkbingo flash event: 011 - “Family” - WinterIron - Teen and up

for the @buckybarnesbingo: Y1 - AU: Wings (which gives me a Bingo, just in time!!)

Thank you all so much for this amazing year in the fandom. You have made the experience so wonderful, and I’m so grateful for the people I’ve met, for the events I’ve gotten to participate in, and especially for the people who have read and enjoyed my stories... I hope for another amazing year next year, and I wish you all the best for 2020!! 💙💙

Loki wished he could say that he didn't register the time of the year, but... Considering how commercialized the holidays had become, it was just about impossible to miss.

Which was why he'd decided it was the perfect occasion to head out on his own and possibly get some work done, without his so-called 'family' trying to bother him or guilt him into spending time with them. It was the same every year, with Thor apparently not noticing anything was wrong at all, the tension between him and Odin thick enough that not even a diamond chainsaw would be able to get through it, and Frigga trying her best to make everyone happy in a situation where it was completely impossible.

No, Loki much preferred to be away.

What he hadn't counted on was his car deciding it'd had enough of the cold and quitting on him in what seemed to be the middle of nowhere.

Or, well, not *quite* the middle of nowhere. There was a small sign, indicating he was close to somewhere called 'Snowvale'. An appropriate name, considering the entire valley appeared to be covered with snow. Had Loki been the type for it, he might have called it magical.

So he sighed and started making his way there, hoping desperately that they might have a car repair shop of some kind - even a local who wasn't too bad with cars would be better than Loki himself was.

Then he got to the town, and he couldn't help but groan.

If he'd thought the holidays were bad in the cities, this town was *so much worse*. There were decorations *everywhere*, seasonal music that Loki for the life of him couldn't point out the origin of, and everything smelled of hot chocolate and cookies.

Swallowing back his distaste, he approached the one person he could find that at least looked *slightly* less overjoyed with everything. "Do you have a mechanic around here? Or at least someone who knows about cars?"

"Just down the street and to the left - the sign says 'Tony's Tech', it'll be easy to find," the redhead told him, looking him up and down in a way that he knew meant she was assessing him.

"Thank you," he told her, nodding at her before he walked off in the direction she'd indicated.

At least the shop was, indeed, easy to find. Except then he walked in and saw what was presumably the owner, working on a classic car, and...

Let's just say Loki wasn't always honest with others, but he usually was with himself. And the truth was, the moment their eyes met, a part of him was already lost.

「Broken」

For as long as he was able to remember, Tony had known that being ill made him a nuisance to others. It was better to deal with it alone, without bothering anyone else.

Bucky disagreed.
