des·o·late /ˈdesələt/ (of a place) deserted of people and in a state of bleak and dismal emptiness. "a desolate moor" James "Bucky" Barnes is having a difficult time making meaningful connections after the Blip. All of the surviving Avengers are busy working through their trauma and grief or, in Sam's case, taking on the mantle of Captain America. With everyone else reuniting with their loved ones who are coming back, Bucky can't help but feel utterly alone once again. Genevieve King is struggling to keep herself and her brothers afloat. With everyone else reappearing after the Blip, their parents are still MIA. Genevieve had to leave her job as a vet tech to come home and support her brothers but with the lack of her parents' expected return has caused her to relive her grief. Genevieve can't help but feel utterly alone once again. +takes place soon after TFTWS+ (obviously i do not own the Marvel characters, just the King family) {update every Tuesday}

You came to the tower as a shy strategist with no friends and starting fresh in a new city thanks to Tony Stark. With the help of America's golden boy, Captain America, you were welcomed in the Avengers fold with open arms and had friends and a family now. So what if you could repay him and help him dirty up the perfect image to get some of his friends and teammates off his back, would you do it. Hell yes! This is the story of a girl next door who helps dirty up the all American boy next door all while in the dreaded friend zone she's desperately trying to get out of.

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 😭

During an after party at the Tower, you're introduced to a new side of your best friend: Drunk Bucky. And Drunk Bucky has it bad for you. Really, really bad.

[Bucky x Reader] Summary: Reader is accident prone, comes from a sheltered background, and has been with the Avengers almost a year when Steve finds Bucky and brings him to the Avengers Tower (post CATWS, pre CACW). Bucky takes an interest in the reader's quirkiness. (mostly fluff)
