She had been believed dead for twenty years. The Hydra files described her as a perfect weapon. The world, however, never knew that she had existed. Belle Harper-Stark, lost daughter of Tony Stark, was kidnapped at six years old before being shaped by the Red Room, then reshaped by HYDRA within the mysterious THEMIS Program. Spy, infiltrated, survival machine... and prisoner of her own head. Until the day when the Avengers get their hands on a forgotten cryogenic capsule. Inside: a woman whose identity should have remained erased. The awakening is brutal. The freedom even more. Belle doesn't remember her life before. Tony doesn't know how to be a father. The world is no longer the one she left. And her body, her mind, her heart still respond to commands she didn't choose. What she hadn't planned? Him. Bucky Barnes, former Winter Soldier, bears the same scars as her. The same chains. The same guilt. He is the only one she is not afraid to face. The only one who understands her silences. The only one she would trust... if only she still knew how to do it. Between Hydra secrets, Stark revelations and demons of the past, Belle will have to learn to become a person again - not a weapon. And maybe at the end of the road, in the arms of a man who has also been broken, she will finally find something that no program could take away from her: the right to love and to be loved.

They were forged in war and fractured by the same hands that made them monsters. Katherine Zola was born with a name she never chose, the daughter of HYDRA's most notorious architect. A child genius, a living weapon, and the program's most effective ghost. Her mission logs were sealed in blood and buried in silence-until one day, she was given a name: Sergeant James Buchanan Barnes. She didn't know why HYDRA wanted him-not at first. Only that she was ordered to track, weaken, and retrieve him. That her mission began before his fall from the train in 1945. That she was the reason he ended up in enemy hands. And she did it. She followed orders. She delivered him. What she didn't expect was to care. What she didn't plan for was falling in love with the man she helped damn. Bucky Barnes thought he was just another casualty of HYDRA-another soldier stripped of self and turned into a weapon. But the truth was darker. His capture wasn't chance. It was chosen. He was targeted by a girl with smoke in her lungs, ghosts in her eyes, and a lie tucked in her smile. A girl who became everything to him, right before she disappeared. Decades later, they stand on opposite sides of the same war-both survivors of mind control, both drowning in guilt. And both still tethered to each other by a past neither can outrun. Because she was his mission long before he ever became hers. -Set during Captain America: The First Avenger, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, Thunderbolts -long book, buckle up for the ride. #1 in thewintersoldier 9.24.25 #1 in original character 9.23.25 #1 in natasharomanoff 12.28.25 #1 in avengersfanfiction 1.6.26 #2 in jamesbarnes 9.24.25 #3 in samwilson 10.9.25 #3 in marvel 12.30.25 #6 in wintersoldier 9.24.25

James Buchanan Barnes x O/C Enemies to Lovers ✨Alternative Universe✨ --- All Annelise Katherine Rogers wanted was a fresh start. Getting accepted into her dream school meant more than classes and campus life-it meant distance. A place filled with people who didn't know her history, didn't know her family, and didn't already have opinions about who she was supposed to be. For the first time, she had the chance to become someone entirely her own which didn't even last twenty-four hours. The moment her brother's best friend-and her longtime enemy-James Buchanan Barnes stepped back into her life, the version of herself she'd carefully built began to crack. Now they're thrown into the same world again only this time at college. Forced into each other's orbit in a place that was supposed to be a new beginning. As old grudges blur into dangerous tension, stolen glances turn heated, and every fight feels one step to awakening their unholy desire-Sometimes hatred burns an awful lot like desire.

This is a story about a troubled girl named Alex who has been through a lot. She gotta face her demons but also her first love after 10 years, James Barnes.

Heartbreak made me reckless. Loving him made me whole. When Steve Rogers broke my heart, I wasn't sure I'd ever recover. He was my everything, until he wasn't. So I pieced myself back together the only way I knew how. With anger. With mistakes. With fire. And with someone I never expected-his best friend. James Barnes is complicated. Dangerous. Broken in his own ways. But he's the one who stayed. The one who chose me. This isn't a fairytale. It's messy. It's devastating. And it's real.

~Set after Endgame~ Claire knows the rules. Keep her distance and never ever fall for a man with a haunted soul. She's seen the wreckage love leaves behind and Bucky Barnes is the ultimate red flag. Living with the Winter Soldier though, isn't what she expected. Behind the heavy silence and the armor, there's a heat she can't escape. In the narrow hallways of Sam's house, tension becomes a slow burn that neither can outrun. He thinks he's a monster and she's certain she's better off alone.
