Bucky is running on fumes, burying himself in work because stopping would mean feeling things. Then Sam reenters the picture with unfinished business, sharp comments, worse chemistry, and absolutely zero respect for emotional avoidance. Things spiral fast. Add a team that refuses to mind their own business, new faces crashing into the mess, and a growing pile of unresolved feelings nobody wants to unpack. And somehow, against all odds, they might even figure it out together. - Follows the MCU timeline, set in 2027, when Sam sued the New Avengers (but without the Fantastic Four).

title this was set right after world tour btw (i dont own total drama or any of the characters)

He was broken steel and silence - the ghost of a soldier who never really came home. She was all fire, sarcasm, and the kind of honesty that could burn through walls. Valentina Stark didn't expect to bond with anyone at the compound - especially not with the quietest, most haunted man in the room. But Bucky Barnes sees the world in shadows, and Val doesn't know how to be anything but light. She doesn't flinch when he walks into the room. She talks to him like he's human. She makes him laugh when he least expects it. And for the first time in a long time, he wonders if maybe - just maybe - there's something left in him worth loving. But healing isn't loud. It's unspoken. Slow. Delicate. And sometimes, the smallest spark is enough to start melting the winter inside. This story does not follow the MCU timeline. All characters belong to MARVEL.

One shot stories of Y/N and James Bucky Barnes. Fluff/ Smut, just short stories. Warnings before every chapter. <3
