In a realm torn by duty and honor, Gwayne Hightower and Maelena Targaryen find themselves unwillingly united. Bound by obligations and the weight of responsibility, they have no room for desire or personal longing. And yet, as time passes and their hearts begin to understand one another, they yearn not for good grace or power, but only for each other. ──── ✥ ✥ ✥ ──── ( OC x Gwayne Hightower )

Y/n Smith and Bucky Barnes. There's something electric in the air when they're near-undeniable, undefined. Not corrosive, not quite. If anything, it's sharp, a challenge neither of them is willing to name. But in the chaos of missions that blur the line between redemption and necessity, one thing is certain: whatever this is, it refuses to be ignored. Enemies to lovers Slow born Hate everyone but you all characters belong to marvel ---------------------------------------------------- "Why?" "Ask Val." "Is it classified?" "You'll see her at the meeting in a few minutes." "Do they fine you if you use more than fifteen words per sentence?" ... "I have no idea what you're talking about." "Oh, really? I could just call Sam and confirm, but I'm betting all this secrecy means you're working on something off the books." "Don't think there are any rules against it." "Then tell the group." "Who says they don't already know?" "Alright, let's test that theory." "Fine." "I was just about to go find John." I turn toward the door, and-bingo-he moves. Steps in front of me, stopping me in my tracks. "Explain." "You're even more annoying than I remember." "You're a delight too, Barnes." ____________________________ 🥇 #thunderbolts 19/4/2025 🥇 #yelenabelova 24/9/2025

You just wanted me for information, all of you never meant anything you said to me, when you told me we were family you just lied! I told you I would die for you Steve, and you Peter... you told me we were best friends and you ....." I said looking at Bucky sobbing trying to hold the rivers from my eyes "You told me you loved me! And all of it was a lie !" ******* Manya has been a spy from HYDRA for almost 14 years, she was tortured and changed into a monster, a killing weapon with supernatural powers.

Luna Woods joined the Avengers after they saved the world from Thanos. She was reclusive and liked her privacy. She did her job and she did it well. That was all that mattered to Luna and, in her eyes, that was all that should matter to her teammates. However, her partner didn't see it that way. Bucky Barnes knew nothing about the woman Tony had paired him with. Luna was reckless and always tried to do everything on her own. She took needless risks and put herself in danger instead of asking for help. She didn't trust the team to have her back, so how could he trust her to have his? When Tony sends Bucky and Luna on a two month mission that requires them to pose as newlyweds, it's a recipe for disaster. The two can barely stand being in the same room together and now they're expected to live together and pretend to be in love in order to accomplish their mission. Neither expects the mission to go smoothly, but what they don't expect is that this mission will change their lives forever. As Bucky begins digging into Luna's past and unexpected feelings surface, will they be able to navigate the new dynamics of their relationship while fighting off an unexpected threat? They say there's a fine line between love and hate, but neither Bucky nor Luna realized just how thin that line was until they've unknowingly crossed it.

Stolen at birth and forged into Hydra's deadliest weapon, Volchitsa was raised to kill without question-until she met him. Before Bucky Barnes became the Winter Soldier, he was her only glimpse of humanity. Decades later, thawed into a world of shadows and lies, she's done running. Haunted by love, hunted by Hydra, and bound by blood to the man she once swore to save, she must face the past they can't remember-and the future they might still deserve.

What happens when the truth of Obadiah's past and it's connection to Bucky Barnes' past comes to light?
