One grew up hearing of a heroic legacy, the other grew up alongside that same name of bravery and courage. Different eras, different wars - shared hopelessness, shared confusion. Two lives forever changed as they closed their eyes to the twentieth century and awoke in a modern, unfamiliar world. Between choosing to live in the shadows or igniting a bright light for the future to follow, Julia Lacey and James Buchanan Barnes wound up with the chance to redefine their identities. How the world portrays those in twisted perspectives is something they must break free from. Forcing a detachment from their old lives means starting a redemption. It's as simple as that. {Bucky Barnes x Fem!OC.} {Trigger and mature themes warning: Torture, war, mental health issues and illnesses, and mature themes and language.} {I do not own Marvel, any characters, or any events.

A double agent. A secret mission. A broken interior. Promises of a better world were swift to become distorted and abused. Fatal undertones laid in the secrets whispered between certain agents. Deadly intentions became disguised in carefully chosen words. The world as Tiana Ledger knew it was beginning to crumble from within. Exposing the compromised chain of righteousness and order meant betraying the trust of the world. Highlighting the resurrected opposing force meant destroying everything she had worked for. A shattered trail left in the wake of its destruction meant a man desperate enough to place all his faith in her. A man - a captain - as misguided as her, as deceived as her, willing to sacrifice everything. Longing to find a forbidden rumour, two souls unite on one simple task: finding the man that's been dead for seventy years. {Act One: 2014.} {Act Two: 2015-2016.} {Slow burn | Steve Rogers x Fem!OC.} {Trigger and mature themes warning: Mature themes and language.} {I do not own Marvel, any characters, or any events.
