    Summary

    When Isabelle Stark returned from the Blip, she thought she was stepping back into a life she recognized. Instead, she finds herself a relic in a world that's already moved on.
    Grieving her father, mourning the Avengers, and carrying powers she barely trusts, Isabelle is left with one option: survive the public eye, survive the politics, survive herself.
    Suit up. Smile for the cameras. Pretend she isn't breaking.
    Because the world is watching—and it still expects a Stark to save it.

    And somewhere in the wreckage, Isabelle finds herself drawn to a man who understands what it means to be left behind.
    Someone broken like her might just be willing to stay.
    --------

    "She wasn't looking for a way to fall. He wasn't looking for someone to catch."

     

    A Bucky Barnes/OC (Stark daughter) story set during The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
    Because listen... I'm a sucker for the "grumpy ex-assassin falls for Tony's Starks daughter" trope, okay?

    Summary

    S.H.I.E.L.D. has fallen, and in order to rebuild, they need to look outside. Alexa Shaeffer pops up on their radar as a possible candidate for the position of Head of Physical Therapy at the new Avengers HQ. Learning from the mistakes of the past, Fury and Hill have done a very thorough background check; what they find, however, doesn’t seem possible, and brings up more questions than answers.

    Alexa Lynn “Lexi” Shaeffer has lots of secrets. Luckily, she’s been very good at keeping them. She should be—she’s been keeping them since she was a little girl. She has elevated keeping a low profile to an art form, not allowing anyone to get close enough to learn the truth. Until one day, that is, when she’s approached about a very unique job opportunity.

    Finally able to use the knowledge that she’s accumulated, Lexi starts a new life with people that she can trust not to expose her secrets. Everything begins to settle down into a nice routine—until one day, when James Buchanan Barnes is brought in from the cold.
