"It wasn't what I had planned on happening, nor did I really want it at all. It just kind of happened. I wanted to leave this kind of life behind, thought that I finally had with becoming a congressman and was going to be able to fight for good in a different kind of way; all I've done my whole life is fight and I'm tired of it. Yet here we are." He pauses. "I'm okay though. I've put in a lot of work over the last few years and I'm proud to say that. I'm good now, not perfect, probably won't ever be, but I'm good," he says quietly. As Bucky Barnes adapts to his new life as a New Avenger, the last thing he has on his mind is finding a girlfriend. But when he unexpectedly crosses paths with you one day he can't help but be intrigued, feeling something he hasn't felt since he was a twenty-something year old man back in the 1940's. As he gets to know you he finds solace in the calm you bring to his life in amongst all the chaos and cannot stop himself from falling for you, nor you for him, as scary as it may seem at times. Set in between the events of Thunderbolts and the post credits scene fourteen months later.

COMPLETED↣ In which a former BAU profiler turned parole officer with a haunting past, gets assigned to determine whether Bucky Barnes is one of the monsters she used to hunt, or just a man deserving of a second chance. ❝There is no hunting like the hunting of man; and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it never really care for anything else❞. ☆。*。☆。 ★。＼｜／。★ ✎ Started ↠ 01/7/2025 © 2025 by ◦ Viktoria ◦ ♬ Status ↠ Unedited. ♘ Based off of the Marvel universe ♘ ⌨ Cover made by me ⌨ ★。／｜＼。★ ☆。*。☆。

She has no past-only shadows. He has no future-only guilt. When Valentina Allegra de Fontaine pulls her out of hiding, she isn't offered a choice. She's drafted. Placed like a blade among broken weapons: the Thunderbolts. Leading them is James Buchanan Barnes-former Winter Soldier, reluctant hero, a man with walls no one's ever broken through. Thrown into a team built on secrets and second chances, she's tasked with more than survival. She's meant to keep an eye on Barnes. Control him, if necessary. But what happens when the only thing she can control is her own downfall? A slow-burn descent into trust, betrayal, and a connection that should never have been possible.

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. 18+ for mature readers
