Therapist, Audrey Edwards, has a new client. She's worked with ex-soldiers before, but none quite as intriguing as the enigmatic James Buchanan Barnes.

"'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

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

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

A sequel to 'Americana' Some loves become legend. Some legacies become wounds. Stella Grace Rogers was born beside a legend-but legends were never what broke her. Love was. The world knew her as Americana: Steve Rogers' twin sister, original Avenger, the woman with the Liberty Ring and blood on her hands enough to make history remember her. But history never learned the truth. It never learned how much of Stella was built around two boys from Brooklyn- one born with her, one who chose her-and how both of them left scars that no war ever could. Because Bucky Barnes came back. Then vanished. Then came back again. And after seventy lost years, five more stolen in ash and silence should have been enough to kill whatever was left of them. It wasn't. Some loves are too stubborn to die. Some loves crawl out of wreckage with their teeth bared. Some loves look like Bucky relearning Stella's laugh, Stella relearning the shape of his hands, and both of them trying to build a life in the aftermath of every version of the world ending. But healing has never been simple for the people history won't stop touching. Steve's shield still casts a shadow. The Avengers are becoming something new, something she doesn't know how to forgive. Sam Wilson is her partner now, steady where she is fire, and together they protect a legacy that no longer feels clean in their hands. And Bucky sees all of it. He sees the way Stella sneers at the shield instead of admitting it hurts. The way she acts like Steve's name means nothing, when really it means too much. But Bucky Barnes has always known the truest thing about Stella Rogers: she can survive anything except being asked not to feel. And when the past rises again, Stella will have to choose what to protect-the anger that kept her alive, or the love that kept her his. Because the world may belong to Captain America. But Bucky Barnes has always belonged to Stella Grace Rogers.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

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.

"If the war pulls us apart," she breathed, "promise me you'll remember us like this." Bucky's answer came without hesitation. "If the gods were to take my memories, I'd fall in love with you again," he said, voice steady despite the storm. "In this life, and every life after." *** [Prequel] Prequel: The First Mission Book 1: One Last Mission Book 2: One More Mission Book 3: One Final Mission Bucky Barnes x Jessica Rogers (Fem!OC) Pre-Captain America: The First Avenger Captain America: The First Avenger *** Content Warning: This book contains sexual content, violence, death, and other mature themes.

"Where are you going with this?" "You know where I'm going with this," Jessica said. "She thinks the most dangerous people are the ones who lie to themselves about who they are the longest." "Absolutely not," Bucky snapped, stepping forward, his hands bracing the counter like it was the only thing grounding him. "Jess, are you insane? You will lose everything you've built, everything you fought and survived to become. You really want to give her that satisfaction?" Jessica moved around the island, calm but resolute, standing in front of him now. "If we can prove she's assembled a team of enhanced individuals... if we find them? That's all the evidence we need to bury her. No trials. No backroom politics. Just facts." Bucky let out a low sigh, scrubbing a hand down his face. "So what, you're just going to stroll into her trap and hope it leads somewhere?" "Val wants me on her team?" Jessica leaned in slightly, eyes steady. "Then that's exactly what I'll give her." A smirk ghosted across her lips. "And then we tear her empire down from the inside." *** [Book 3] Prequel: The First Mission Book 1: One Last Mission Book 2: One More Mission Book 3: One Final Mission Bucky Barnes x Jessica Rogers (Fem!OC) Based on the events of Thunderbolts* Started: 07.05.25 Completed: 04.06.25 *** Content Warning: This book contains sexual content, violence, death, and other mature themes.

"I know I loved you," Bucky's voice broke the silence, low but unwavering. Jessica paused mid-step, her back still to him. A single tear slipped down her cheek, carving a slow path as she blinked hard, refusing to turn around.
