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

"'til Brooklyn sinks." She entered the world in the same breath as a legend-Stella Grace Rogers, twin sister to Captain America. A fighter, a flame, laughter caught in her lungs and bruises etched into her knuckles. Long before the world christened her Americana, she was only Brooklyn's brightest spark-Bucky Barnes' whole, unshakable heart. Bucky was Steve's friend first. Stella's second. But somewhere between the teasing glances and the stolen dances, he fell-hard, helpless-for the girl with a golden heart and fire burning through her bones. They were young. They were in love. They were engaged to be married. And then the war split everything wide open. Seventy years later, history remembers her as Americana: the woman with the vibranium liberty ring, the unyielding icon, a legacy carved in blood and sacrifice. But behind the title remains the girl who never stopped grieving the boy with the metal arm-the boy who once swore her forever. She burned bright. He was forged into a weapon. And now, as the past rises again from the ice, all that endures is the love that time could never bury. Some ghosts wear dog tags. Some wear diamond rings. -Set during Captain America: The First Avenger, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, and some Avengers: Endgame -long book, buckle up for the ride. #1 in jamesbuchananbarnes 11.5.25 #1 in thewintersoldier 11.6.25 #1 in original character 9.24.25 #1 in marvelfanfic 12.7.25 #2 in buckybarnes 12.1.25 #2 in captianamerica 10.13.25 #3 in captainamerica 10.11.25 #4 in captainamerica 11.6.25 #5 in jamesbuchananbarnes 11.2.25

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.

Bucky x OC Storyline: hate to love Angst, angst, and more angst. I love drama. Fluffy moments because Bucky is a sweetheart and deserves the world. Badassery. Lots of smut because I'm a whore. I dedicated full on chapters to purely smut. A little miscommunication that only lasts a few chapters. OC is an independent bad bitch who I want to marry even though she came from my own mind. Tons of injuries. Like shit ton of blood and gunshots and all that fun stuff because I absolutely love the "taking care of love interest's injuries" trope because I want someone to take care of me. (Can you tell I have no father?) One bed trope because it's superior. Lots of jealousy and possessiveness because again I am a whore for angst and hot people who are obsessive. Kidnapping and torture because I love putting my characters through pain. Have fun!

in a world where howard stark has a genius sister, the war doesn't just make a soldier. it makes a trio. steve rogers is the compass. bucky barnes is the heart. maxine stark is the spark with grease on her hands and sarcasm on her tongue, fixing radios, fixing rifles, fixing the people she loves because it's the only kind of praying she knows. ⋆˚࿔ but the future they used to joke about doesn't survive the 1940s. her lover falls from a train and the world calls it death. her best friend disappears into the ice and the world calls it heroic. and max gets too close to hydra's protocols, sees the pattern behind the cruelty, and hydra doesn't kill her. hydra keeps her. because she's useful. because she's leverage. because she's the one thing the winter soldiers body will still recognize when his mind won't. ⋆˚࿔ ⤷ ゛{ 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧 → 𝙘𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙡 𝙬𝙖𝙧 𝙖𝙪 } ˎˊ˗ 𝙗𝙪𝙘𝙠𝙮 𝙭 𝙊𝘾, 𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙨𝙩 & 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙩, 𝙨𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙗𝙪𝙧𝙣 𝙧𝙚𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙤𝙣, 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙪𝙢𝙖 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮, 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩/𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙩, 𝙝𝙮𝙙𝙧𝙖 𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙧, 𝙛𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙛𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙮

"Her body was already dazed, and her mind was already underwater so she might as well let him set the rest of her on fire." Jodie Carter always spent her summers at the Ivory House with her friends.

A sequel to 'The Winter She Made' They were made by HYDRA. Remade by Wakanda. And now-they're trying to live like the world can't take anything else from them. Katherine Zola spent her life following orders she never chose-raised by a ghost, trained to seduce and dismantle, and ultimately tasked with delivering Sergeant James Buchanan Barnes into the hands of the very program that would erase him. That was then. Now she wakes up in D.C. with sunlight on the floor, a wedding ring on her finger, a daughter who laughs with her whole chest, and a husband who looks at her like forgiveness is a language he was born speaking. The Winter Soldier is gone. Persephone is a ghost. And for the first time in her life, Katherine is building something that doesn't require her to bleed for it. Bucky Barnes is done spilling blood for someone else's cause. These days, he fights with bills instead of teeth. Words instead of weapons. Trying to reshape the world that once broke them with nothing more than policy and sheer, stubborn hope. For a man engineered to kill, he's learning how to repair. And Katherine is learning too. Not how to be harmless-she never will be-but how to be whole. How to love without punishment. How to stay. So when the Thunderbolts Initiative rises-an uneasy alliance of ex-criminals, ghosts, outcasts, and shadows the world tried to forget-she agrees. Not out of punishment. Not out of penance. Out of choice. Because if Bucky's going to carry the weight of their history into battle again, she refuses to let him carry it alone. Because she understands better than anyone what it means to be repurposed. To be salvaged. To be feared. The Thunderbolts aren't Avengers. They aren't symbols. They're survivors. And maybe-if they're careful-they're the beginning of something stronger. Something new. Monsters break things. But the two of them-the Winter she made, the past she undid-they are learning how to mend. Together.
