Marvel Fic Recs
If you're not into FanFiction or slash, I wouldn't recommend going through this. This list is made up of those that are Marvel (the other list is located here and Harry Potter is located here).
This list is mostly here for their stories. Some of them are not 100% grammatically correct.
List Updated: November 2nd 2020 - currently unsorted
If I mis-filed any of these, sorry.

Even the Light is an Illusion
https://archiveofourown.org/works/507292/chapters/892809
Death threats are an unfortunate side-effect of being Tony Stark, so he's learned to ignore them. The problem is, when someone really wants you dead, hiding your head in the sand just kinda exposes your ass. But it's not just Tony's behind on the line. Whoever wants him dead wants him to suffer first, and they're willing to do anything to make that happen. Tony knows there's only one way out. To save Steve, the Avengers, and the general public, Tony has to die. Of course, death isn't always the end, and Tony does what any other self-disrespecting scientist would do: he finds a way to fake his death and avenge his own murder. The trouble is, terrible decisions usually have a terrible price, and this one is no different. Tony has a chance to save the day, but the cost may be more than Tony was ever expecting to pay…

Didn’t notice. Right. Sure. Two brilliant minds, two super spies, and a god didn’t notice when the chattiest man they knew stopped making sound. They just seemed happier than before. Brighter and more cheerful than before. They just seemed like they were more comfortable with him around when he was stone silent. Fuck it. He knew they noticed. And he knew they liked him better this way.

Watching Tony as he goes through his day to day. Bucky looks and LOOKS, until he is having a hard time even wanting to look away from short spiky hair that begs to be mussed, deep brown eyes that always looks so sad, and perfect lips that Bucky just wants to kiss forever. Bucky looks for so long that now all he wants to do is touch and hold and fix everything. But Tony can barely be in the same room as Bucky, cant even look him in the eye.

Bucky's been struggling for years: to keep the beachside restaurant he inherited from his parents above water (both financially and literally); to live down the fact that he's gay in a small southern town; to get over the man who's owned his heart since he was fourteen. But he's never had to struggle as hard as he is now, to keep his hands off Tony.

The premiere for Steve Rogers' newest Captain America movie was just around the corner, and Steve knew it was going to be a hit. The big downside was that he had to have a date. The last several times he'd brought someone to an event like this, things had ranged from unpleasant to disastrous. In a last ditch effort to get out of taking someone that might make his night hell, Steve went on Twitter and invited the Winter Soldier to be his plus one. The Soldier was an international fugitive, and currently wanted for a series of high profile attacks on corrupt businessmen. Since every person the Soldier attacked was involved in some truly vile criminal activity, the public loved him, despite his crimes. Inviting him to the premiere was the perfect cop out. There was no way he was ever going to show. Right?

https://archiveofourown.org/works/498770/chapters/874582

Diamonds Do Not Equal Love (but they sure mean something)
https://archiveofourown.org/works/2518733
OT6 - In a world where omegas are given courting gifts of jewelry when alphas or betas or other omegas want to have sex with them, the media, the newspapers, and talk show hosts always make dismissive and disgusted remarks about how Tony Stark sleeps with so many people and yet refuses to wear any of their jewelry in public. Self-centered and arrogant, some say, while others whisper that, with his wealth, Tony really shouldn't be asking for gifts in the first place. Even with all the speculation about how rich and how decadent Tony's jewelry collection must be, however, no one's ever seen it. Because Tony... Tony doesn't have a collection at all.
Don't Say It
https://archiveofourown.org/works/7838281/chapters/17894431
Bucky/Steve/Tony - Tony Stark is autistic and nonverbal. Which is fine, obviously, except for it means that Steve and Bucky don't have his words, and it only takes him a few minutes to decide they don't need to know he has theirs.

There’s no room for me.”

https://archiveofourown.org/works/18347003
Bucky/Steve/Tony - All these years he’d wondered, that little childish part of him that loved his mother’s stories, what his soulmate was going to be like. Even as his father made sure he knew there were more important things he had to accomplish, told him over and over that he’d be better off without a soulmate at all - to the point where Tony had wondered if maybe he’d be one of those people whose soulmate had died young - he’d secretly hoped and wondered if he’d be one of the lucky ones. And now he knew. His father had been right all along. Tony had two soulmates, who already knew each other. He decided then and there that he was never, ever going to tell them he existed. And then he woke up in a cave in Afghanistan.
Failsafe
https://archiveofourown.org/works/8121970

The Path Beneath Your Feet
https://archiveofourown.org/works/13630413/chapters/31299399
Bucky/Steve/Tony - A Star fell, and in its wake, Soulmarks appeared. Smaller than a person’s palm, centered over their sternum, and a greater risk than when the Stars gave mankind Guilt, the Marks were to be Humanity’s eternal guides. The gift gave the Stars a way to direct their children. The Stars would watch, and wait to see what a person needed in their life. They waited to see what would bring them the greatest joy, then they could give them a token to find that path and keep them true. All three share a Mark. But Steve and Bucky have each other. And Tony has Iron Man.

Bucky/Steve/Tony - After the sudden announcement of Steve and Bucky's wedding, Tony realises how expendable he was to them and decides to pack up and ship out before he can further make a fool of himself. Now pregnant, heartbroken, alone and unsure of what to do now his life of relative comfort has gone, Tony can only hope the luck of the draw will allow him to birth his cub and live the demure, plain life he was ultimately destined for. And, as the cliched trope goes, Tony was entirely wrong (as usual) and fate had another idea in store for him.
Wrap Your Arms Around Me
https://archiveofourown.org/series/393931
OT6 - Tony, like just about everyone else on the planet, was born with two soulmarks. One belonged to him, and one was the mark that linked him to his perfect match. Two circles, a smaller one inside of a larger one, with a small star in the middle, colored red white and blue, marked the right side of his rib cage, just below his armpit. And in the center of his chest, another circle, this one not filled in, but just the outline of a circle in electric blue. This one belonged to him. But unlike everyone else, Tony's marks do not stop at two.
You Got the Heart of a Phoenix (So Let Them See You Rise)
https://archiveofourown.org/works/18820096/chapters/44658796
Tony is born with a soulmark. Everyone is born with a mark- unless their soulmate is already dead. What’s unusual is how sometimes Tony has a mark and sometimes he doesn’t. No one knows what to do with that. Marks only disappear when a person’s soulmate is dead. But one day, Tony had a mark and then the next he didn’t. Tony had barely had enough time to realize that something was wrong before it was back.
