Bucky only had one person left on his apology list: you. And no matter how many times he apologized, it didn't seem like enough. After Steve left and the events of tfatws, Bucky showed up at your house. He was surprised to see you with a sweet little girl, and didn't object when you offered him a place to stay. It was the only family he had left, and as if that weren't enough, this time he found it impossible to hide his feelings for you.

There were three things you knew about yourself: 1. Your Dad was a Grade-A asshole 2. You were a mess 3. The Winter Soldier saved your life The world went to shit five and a half years ago, when you had been a fresh-faced twenty-year-old on the run. You took the opportunity with both hands and rebuilt yourself, disappearing and emerging with a whole new identity. That was until Bucky fucking Barnes crashed his way into Madripoor and completely blew your cover. And worst of all- he wanted to help you because your name was on some dumb list of his.

"Well, she's a mimic. Y'know, monkey see, monkey do - but a bit more serious." "Yeah, just a bit more serious, Tony." When y/n and Bucky are saved from Hydra by the Avengers, they struggle to adapt to their newfound freedom. Finally being able to think for yourself is great, but nobody mentions the darkness of being alone with your thoughts. Y/n = 'your name', so insert your own name in! For this story y/n's pronouns will be she/her, but if anyone wants a version with different pronouns let me know! ***Paragraphing does get better as the book progresses!***
