I'm looking for a fics. It was possibly a Tony/Steve, Tony/Bucky, or Tony/Steve/Bucky pairing. It was post Civil War. What I remember is that the Avengers were trying to break through the Winter Soldier conditioning and at one part of the process Tony starts provoking Bucky to the point Bucky nearly attacks him, in a bid to try to help. I think Thor managed to grab Tony before Bucky could hurt him though and Tony points out that Bucky had to believe the person provoking actually hated him enough to mean the words they said. And Tony was the best option for that part of the process.
