    Summary

    Her mission was simple: retrieve the Winter Soldier and return him to HYDRA.
    Alive, if possible. Dead, if it meant she didn’t fail.

    But nothing about James Buchanan Barnes is simple. Not the way he looks at her. Not the way he carries the title of weapon like a wound. Not the way her suit trusted him more than it ever trusted her.

    He spares her life. And she makes the mistake of letting him keep his.

    Now they're running—together. From HYDRA, from the Avengers, from every power on Earth that wants them back in chains. Every road behind them is soaked in blood. Every road ahead is a dead end.

    And somewhere in the middle of it, he touches her like he’s afraid to break her.
    Like she’s not a weapon.
    Like he isn’t either.

    Where do they go, when there's nowhere left to run?

    And what does it mean to be human, when you were never meant to be?

    A post-CATWS slow-burn character epic. Bucky/OC. Trauma, trust, and the long road to something like love.

    Trilogy of Trilogies.

    Summary

    The New Avengers have formed, and Valentina is looking for new recruits. When Evelyn Day turns up with unprecedented, untested and not fully disclosed powers, including the ability to control the Void within Bob, she becomes a valuable and powerful member of the team.
    And in the chaos, Bucky Barnes finds love in the 21st century. Life seems pretty good - he's in love, he's seen, he's known - but his past will always come back to haunt him eventually.
    Slow burn, eventual plot twists, heavy focus on Bucky's recovery, allowing himself to be loved, and trying and sometimes failing to move on from his past.
    *Not canon compliant with Avengers: Endgame because I hated Steve's ending and Bucky deserved more time with him post-Endgame*
    *Partially inspired by all those 'Bucky as a boyfriend' headcannons littering my TikTok right now and by some Bucky/Thunderbolts memes*
    *Was originally written to be post-FATWS but I have been madly working to make it post-Thunderbolts*
    Regular updates!!

    Summary

    It's 1927 and Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers don't know it yet, but they've just found a friend for the ages.

    As years go by, and the three musketeers grow from plucky children to mischievous teens and, finally, to young men and women--will the small crush you harbour for Bucky Barnes ever blossom into something more? Or will the war that threatens to tear the three of you apart succeed before you even get the chance?

    An autobiography of sorts--and a winding road. The ways in which you loved Bucky Barnes span years, decades, lifetimes. It ends in Russia, or the Arctic, or Times Square--depending on who you ask.

    But it starts in Brooklyn.

    Summary

    There were three things you knew about yourself:

    1. Your Dad was a Grade-A asshole
    2. You were a mess
    3. The Winter Soldier saved your life

    The world went to shit seven years ago, when you had been a fresh-faced twenty-year-old on the run.

    You took the opportunity with both hands and rebuilt yourself, disappearing and emerging with a whole new identity.

    That was until Bucky fucking Barnes crashed his way into Madripoor and completely blew your cover.

    And worst of all- he wanted to help you because your name was on some dumb list of his.
