This work is a part of a backstory that focuses on the events that occurred before the original narrative. It is not necessarily required that you read FADED to understand this one, but I do strongly recommend it to get a better understanding of the characters and setting. 🌼 🌼 🌼 ⚠️ Trigger Warning! ⚠️ This is not some fairytale about falling in love and living happily ever after. This story is a reflection of reality, it's about real characters facing real hardships and struggles in life. RATED M (Please read the tags for more info about the story.

book 1 of the windows of the soul duology ✿ ✿ ✿ lucent: softly bright or radiant ✿ ✿ ✿ My brother's hand traces the cut on my right cheek for some minutes. I have no idea how a cut can be so interesting, but I won't judge a book by its cover. He unexpectedly moves and places a heartwarming kiss on my crown, brushing through the strands of my hair. But what startles me the most, is when he speaks, "Duerme bien, mi niña bonita." And just as I wasn't able to sleep hours ago because of my stupid fear, I let myself fall into a dreamless sleep as his soothing voice travels through my ears. ✿ ✿ ✿ Layla Rivera. A young naive fourteen-year-old who's just lost her childhood best friend and guardian. She's anxious and timid when meeting other people, so she usually cowers and distracts herself, immerse between the pages of books. When she is thrown into the lion's den - or also named as her older brothers' house - she's left fearful and intimidated by the six foot three males who she never had a clue about. Trying to make sense of what her new life will bring while being unaware of the dangers her new home beholds, she tries to make her way into her new family, but it doesn't seem as easy as she expected, or is it? ©️juststarsandbooks All written works on this account belong to Juststarsandbooks.

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)

Alexandria Montgomery, a deadly assassin who has made a deal with Director Fury and has decided to join 'Earth's mightiest heroes,' the Avengers. However, this change when Alexandria is greeted with a face she hadn't seen for decades, James 'Bucky' Barnes. Highest Rankings: #1 avengersxreader TW: Violence/torture swearing talk of suicide

!! Originally posted with the title 'Saved by him' !! Ella Stark is 23. She spent her life in France, far away from her family since she was 3 years old. She's a shy woman, pretty independent but everything must change at some point no? Leaving her foster family after discovering something about her, she decided to go back to New York to receive some help from her dad and the Avengers. Little did she know that her life will change after meeting him. James Buchanan Barnes. I DO NOT OWN ALL THE MCU CHARACTERS, THEY BELONG TO MARVEL. I ONLY OWN MY OC. 🚨This story contains smut, Self-harming, and depression mentions 🚨

Bucky Barnes keeps having dreams about a tech engineer in his Winter Solder days. All he remembers is that she was kind, and the color of her eyes. Follows a personally expanded version of TFATWS with slight changes of the plot for the story's sake. It will continue further past the finale. Playlist for the story in no particular order if you're interested. https://open.spotify.com/track/3kZC0ZmFWrEHdUCmUqlvgZ?si=MG0TPqwTQR2_hvuu3OSpZw&utm_source=native-share-menu

Requested on Tumblr: okay I send a mini request? Can it be please like in a new relationship with Bucky Barnes (like when the reader & him first start to date?) and she notices how touched starved he is - and maybe when she goes to touch him (in a non sexual way, like maybe she goes to take his hand or rubs his back??) he flinches at first? But soon realises that not everyone who touches him is gonna hurt him? 🥺 thats just what I'm thinking about this afternoon 😭

Thank you for more than 15K reads! I own the main character and storyline, everything else is owned by: MARVEL. Been through so much, but that's all about to change, when she crosses paths with the Avengers and is reunited with her family.
