Hockey season isn't just a game in the Avengers compound-it's tradition, war, and love, all wrapped up in jerseys, beer, and shouting matches. Everyone's got their team. Everyone's got their stakes. But no one's story is more complicated than Bucky and Y/N's-two people tangled in something that's not quite a relationship, but too much to be just friends. As the playoffs heat up, so do feelings. Smack talk turns flirtatious. Bets get personal. And the pressure of the final game might just push them to finally face the truth they've been skating around: that maybe, just maybe, it's time to stop being almost lovers and become something real. It's game on-for love, pride, and the Stanley Cup.

To the guys, it's just "girls night." To the girls? It's erotic book club. Every Sunday night, Pepper, Nat, Wanda, Laura, and Y/N gather with wine, snacks, and a scandalous book of short, steamy stories. The rule? No boys allowed-and absolutely no one talks about what goes on. The result? Every man in the tower gets mysteriously lucky after girls night. Except Bucky Barnes... And Y/N-who doesn't have a man to sneak off to after the wine runs dry. But Bucky and Y/N have been dancing around something for months. Teasing, flirting, tempting fate. And when sparks finally fly between a lonely reader and a brooding super soldier, things go from flirty to fiery real fast. Now there's just one question left: What happens when the boys crash girls night? Slow burn. Spicy tension. Girls night chaos. And a love story no one saw coming. Rated 18+ for language, heat, and Bucky Barnes being way too hot with his sleeves rolled up.

Y/N served her country with precision, honor, and the kind of steel-spined discipline that made her a national name. But when her time in uniform ends, she finds herself somewhere even less predictable-the Avengers Compound. Used to order and respect, Y/N struggles to adapt to the chaos of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. They're loud. Unfiltered. Oddly domestic. And then there's James Buchanan Barnes-quiet, unreadable, and determined to keep his distance. But Y/N is a soldier trained to observe, and she notices everything. Especially him. What begins in silence turns into something deeper-built on shared trauma, quiet gestures, and the subtle kind of love that doesn't need to be spoken aloud. A slow-burn, modern-day romance about healing, noticing the unnoticeable, and finding peace where you least expect it.

She's the light that keeps the compound warm. Y/N is a whirlwind of laughter, dad jokes, and unexpected heart. She loves rainy days, listens to The Smiths, and reads historical fiction with a passion. Bucky Barnes is quiet, bruised, and guarded. But around her-he's something softer. He's James. From shared laundry days to teasing group chats, awkward not-dates, and late-night dancing in the kitchen, a slow kind of magic unfolds. It's not a love story-not yet. But it might be. A sweet, slow-burn romance set in the warmth of found family, healing, and moments that matter.

One shots of Bucky Barnes. Some soft and sweet, others aggressive and suggestive. Many of the ideas come from tik tok povs or character AI scenarios, I don't take credit for those ideas only the ones I create.

Everyone thinks Y/N is fearless. She's an Avenger, a fighter, a friend. Quick with a blade, quicker with a joke. Especially with Bucky Barnes-the only one who gets close enough to make her heartbeat stutter. But what no one knows is that Y/N hasn't slept in days. Not really. Because the truth is, her mind won't let her rest. There's a voice in her head-paranoia, quiet and cruel. It watches with her. Waits. Whispers. She's always lived with it. Learned to fight around it. Until one night, it gets too loud. And the only one who hears her fall... is Bucky. A slow-burn, heart-heavy story of love, fear, and finding safety in someone else's arms.

Y/N never expected her life as an Avenger would involve babysitting 35 dogs with Bucky Barnes-the one person she could never quite get along with. But between tail wags, chewed-up furniture, and a Chihuahua named Neo who thinks he's royalty, something unexpected starts to shift. Maybe mutual annoyance isn't the only thing between them after all.

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Reader Chapters: 18 Genre: Hurt/Comfort, Psychological Drama, Trauma Recovery, Found Family, Soft Romance Trigger Warnings: Sexual coercion, PTSD, depression, emotional dysregulation, self-doubt, identity crisis Tone/Mood Progression: Heavy, isolating, raw - to hopeful, grounded, and healing After surviving sexual coercion, Y/N is left shattered. Romance is a landmine, touch is terrifying, and trust feels impossible. The Avengers know something's changed, but only Bucky Barnes recognizes the silence behind her eyes-because he's lived in that silence too. In the wreckage of her pain, she doesn't want to be saved. She wants to feel real again. Seen. Believed. This is not a story of being fixed. It's a story of surviving, soft strength, and finding a new kind of love in the wreckage.

Everyone sees it. The glances, the touches, the connection. Bucky Barnes flirts like it's second nature, especially with Y/N-his best friend, his anchor, and the only person who makes him feel at home. She loves him too. Everyone knows it. He knows it. She knows it. But love isn't easy for her. Not after what it's done to her. After all the lies, the manipulation, and the trauma, she's not just scared-she's haunted. When Bucky finally confesses, it shatters the fragile comfort they've built. She runs. He breaks. And the team is caught between two hearts trying to find their way back to each other. This isn't a story of sudden passion. It's about learning how to love without fear. About soft hands, whispered reassurances, and trying-slowly, carefully, honestly. Because sometimes, love isn't loud. Sometimes, love is patient.

Y/N is an Avenger, a fierce fighter, and the heart of the team. What her teammates don't know? She's Canadian-and a diehard hockey fan. When the NHL playoffs begin, her quiet obsession with the Montreal Canadiens bursts into the spotlight, dragging the whole team along for the ride. Movie nights turn into game nights. Beer replaces wine. Jerseys become the new casual wear. And Bucky Barnes? He becomes her biggest fan-in more ways than one. From playful teasing to late-night confessions, their "just friends" label starts to crack as the team cheers their way through every tense faceoff. But with the Stanley Cup on the line... will Y/N and Bucky finally drop the puck on their own love story?
