    Summary

    You are not a saint. You are not a hero. You’re barely even a living person, because living people have lives that extended beyond work and their apartment. But you’re not quite nobody, either. You’re too much, and not enough, and just in the shadows with a prayer to be saved that isn't genuine and secrets that mean nothing.

    They should’ve meant nothing.

    Yet here you are. In more danger than usual, being threatened by Hydra without knowing why, and being assigned a security detail you don’t want by Captain America.

    Bucky Barnes is good at his job. You’re not going to die.

    But you might end up strangling him before Hydra gets to either of you.

    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

    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!!
