A Stucky Story - Infinity War Therapy by SweetInsanityWrites reviews
Starting with short one-shots, then going into a longer story revolving around Bucky's refuge in Wakanda, Steve's struggle with being a war criminal and, of course, the Infinity War. It will, therefore, contain spoilers for IW. There is also a sex scene in it, but mostly it's fluff and a bit of angst. I hope this will help you heal after the trauma of Infinity War.

You Can Cry by bluebunny28 reviews
Harry gets detention with Snape, and Snape was a spy, so he is a very skilled observer. He sees things most people don't bother looking for. Things like concealment charms. Set after war. (Snape lives. Warnings for abuse and self-harm. May be a trigger for some.)

Submerge by Oceanbreeze7 reviews
Answer to challenge. Tony Stark was many things, but one of his most rarest status, was that he was a victim of PTSD...Not that he'd let anyone know.
