    Summary

    She grew up in the chaos of Stark Tower — raised by Tony Stark, forged in the glow of arc reactors and midnight inventions. To the world, she’s just another Stark heir, sarcastic and sharp-tongued like her father. But behind closed doors, she’s finishing a doctorate in brain and cognitive sciences, building neural tech capable of repairing what Hydra once shattered.

    Her research was never supposed to leave the lab…until James “Bucky” Barnes steps into her orbit. Haunted by trauma no therapy can untangle, he becomes the test case she can’t walk away from — and the person who might finally see through her deflections. Between Steve Rogers’ steady watch, Tony’s meddling, and the weight of a legacy she never asked for, she’s caught in the impossible: choosing between fixing the past and building her own future.

    Equal parts Stark snark, slow-burn tension, and moral gravity, this is the story of what happens when genius collides with brokenness — and when love isn’t about saving someone, but finding them.

    Summary

    You've been in love with Bucky Barnes since you first saw him. You've waited for him, even when you knew it was pointless. Then, when you finally decide to move on, you ask him for help. But he doesn't seem to be putting his all into helping you find a relationship. And you can't seem to give yours to getting over him, at all.

    Summary

    This isn't your typical love story.
    The lovers don't meet and fall in love. They don't live happily ever after.

    He disappears. She loses everything. They forget about each other.
    Years later they'll meet again, but not as lovers, as enemies. Two opposing sides, but neither the right one. Both weapons, both on a mission to kill the other. Their minds have been broken, memories replaced by new ones that never existed. Her emotions have been shattered, broken down so she is no more than a husk of a human being. All he knows is what he is told.

    Yet every time they meet, a little piece of the past is recovered. A past full of happiness, a past full of hope, and light, and love. Just one fleeting moment, before it's washed away again, dragged beneath the waves of a person who no longer exists.

    Summary

    James Buchanan Barnes had been through a lot in his life: Fighting in wars, brainwashed and forced to kill for decades, fighting to remember who he was... The hardest part of it all? Finding his place back in the world.

    Then, there was you.

    You had been someone else for so long, you didn't know how to step back into life.

    From being taken to the Red Room, brainwashed, and then taken and experimented on by HYDRA for decades, you and Barnes shared your fair share of trauma, both separately and together.

    You had grown close, although it hadn't happened overnight. You hated each other. There were multiple times over the years when you tried to kill each other and almost succeeded. Eventually, you both escaped HYDRA, and the most peaceful years were when you were on the run.

    Unfortunately, the world had other plans. You were thrown back into the fight, on a galactic scale this time. Bucky blipped, you didn't. After five dark years, the fight was won, but at a severe cost to both of you.

    Summary

    Lena “Warsong” Rabinovich survives the war only to be stranded in the long after. 1945–present: a decade-spanning ghost story where the ghost is a woman who won’t stop living. She buries names, and learns how to be useful instead of happy. Grief becomes a country she knows by heart, Steve gone to the ocean, Bucky to the snow, and Lena lives in the border towns between memory and myth, building quiet safehouses for people the world tries to erase.

    Then the news says a star-spangled ghost has stepped out of the ice.

    Finding Steve hurts in the way healing always does. It cracks open everything she sealed shut. And when a metal-armed phantom carves a path through her second life, Lena recognizes the shape of the loss before she knows the name of it. Bucky is alive. He doesn’t remember. She does.

    This is the story of what grief makes, what love rebuilds, and the stubborn domesticity carved between.

    Summary

    Bucky Barnes never expected his life to change on a night like this, a fight in a dark stairwell, a woman's terrified eyes, and the sudden, undeniable need to protect her. Mya Rose wasn't supposed to mean anything to him. She was just the neighbor he saw in passing, quiet, kind, and far too gentle for the shadows that followed him.

    But when her abusive ex shows up, everything shifts. Bucky steps in without hesitation... and one violent moment binds them together in ways neither could have predicted.

    Haunted by his past and convinced he doesn't deserve peace, Bucky tries to keep his distance. But Mya, with her soft voice, stubborn strength, and the way she sees light where he only sees darkness, begins to break through his walls.

    And when danger circles back for her, he realizes one thing with brutal clarity:
    He'll burn the world down before he lets anyone touch what's his.

    Summary

    Memory is a funny thing.

    When you fell asleep that last night in your apartment you never expected to wake up in a hospital. Let alone, the Avengers personal Hospital. The Avengers were supposed to be fictional. Well, at least they were in your world. Where ever you’d been sent, whatever universe you were in now, they were very real. Displaced, and confused as hell, you try and make sense of everything, fit into this new life and eventually maybe make it your own.

    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*
    *Partially inspired by all those 'Bucky as a boyfriend' headcannons littering my TikTok right now and by some Bucky/Thunderbolts memes*

    Summary

    What if Steve had found Bucky before he crashed the plane, before he became the Winter Soldier? What if they escaped, fought HYDRA together, and ended up both being on that plane? What if they crashed together, close together, praying to see each other again?

    What if they woke up, in the new century, together?

    Summary

    She can slip through time in the space between heartbeats.
    He is a man whose time was stolen from him.

    In the aftermath of SHIELD’s collapse, Clara Grayson — a woman bound to the fractured flow of time and the shadows of her own past — is drawn into the war Steve Rogers cannot fight alone. And into the orbit of a soldier who barely remembers how to live.

    Haunted by violence, hunted by the past, Bucky Barnes does not trust the shape of this new world — or the pull of her presence within it.

    But in the slow hours between battle and breath, when the world falls quiet, even the most wounded hearts may begin to remember how to feel.

    Summary

    “Will you be collecting him today, Mr. Stark?”

    Tony opens his mouth. Closes it. The truth is, he didn’t think that far ahead.

    Didn’t think any of this through, really, which isn’t like him. He drove here in his sleek two-seater Audi, didn’t tell anyone what he was up to, didn’t honestly know what the fuck he was up to himself, and didn’t organize SI’s prep team that includes a transition consultant with a soothing voice.

    He just kind of... showed up. Bought a person. Forgot to plan for the part where you actually take your human purchase home.

    Modern Slavery, MCU-adjacent AU dystopia for MTH 2024.

    Summary

    Bucky hasn't had an easy time starting a new life after Hydra. He's a mess of a human who barely functions on a good day. Today was not a 'good day.' He finds himself at the edge of a mental break, but falling apart would have to wait for another time.

    He's called to duty by Steve Rodgers when he finds out Manhattan is under attack by an unknown enemy. The Avengers were spread thin, down men and in need of help, and Bucky Barnes was the only backup they had left.

    There is no other choice than to join the fight. Unfortunately, Steve Rogers has already assigned him a partner, the one and only Iron Man. To say that Bucky and Tony Stark did not get along was an understatement. Tony wanted Bucky dead, and Bucky, well, he just wanted Tony to leave him alone.

    They are forced to set aside their emotions when they are ambushed and the Iron Man suit is destroyed, leaving them in a war zone and cut off from the team. Injured and hunted, they must fight for survival, but sometimes fighting just isn't enough. This is a trap they cannot escape.

    Abducted and imprisoned in a desolate cell, what is it that their unknown captors want? More importantly, how the hell were James and Tony going to get out of this?

    Summary

    Bucky Barnes is only months out of Hydra—barely a year into trying to rebuild his life. He’s quiet, tired, and living low in a city that doesn’t notice him—and that’s how he prefers it. Until one rainy afternoon, in a half-empty diner that smells like burnt coffee, he meets someone else who doesn’t fit.

    Nero Aspen looks like a scrawny teen in a torn hoodie, poking at food he can’t pay for. But there’s something off—something in the way his eyes move, too sharp, too old. Bucky doesn’t know Nero’s a displaced demigod or that his past rivals his own. He just sees a cold kid and pays for his meal—a small kindness that’ll cost him more than he knows. Because you can’t outrun Hydra. You can't outrun God's. And you can't outrun yourself.
