Their instincts have always been to run. He knows how to retreat behind silence and the old instinct to keep his hands off anything good. She knows how to keep moving before attachment turns into captivity. In the wreckage left by HYDRA and TALIC, with old files exposed, public perception twisted into something hungry, and gods dropping from the sky with impossible warnings, they find themselves facing a stranger kind of battle. For once, the danger isn't asking them to disappear. It's asking them to stay. Bucky is learning how to exist in a life no one ordered him to live, where protecting someone means knowing when to reach for them and when to let them choose the fall. She has nowhere left to chase him, no mission left to make of bringing him home, and far too much practice insisting she's fine when there is always something else to fix first. Old nightmares surface in places they don't belong. The Crow has become public property in everything but name. Thor keeps telling stories she has no interest in believing. And somewhere beneath missions, therapy, old ghosts, new enemies, and the dangerous comfort of ordinary things, the lines they thought they understood begin to blur. Between weapon and person. Protection and control. And being needed versus being chosen. They survived the people who decided what they were. Now they have to live long enough to find out what remains when no one else gets to decide.

She learned how to stay alive. He learned how to survive orders. A year after Bucharest, she has traded the Crow for the Rook, building something that almost resembles a life among S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers while quietly searching for the man she lost. When the systems that broke them begin to resurface, she's pulled back into a fight built from familiar ghosts, and she finds herself face to face with Bucky again; not as a memory or the man she remembers, but as something unfinished and painfully real. Finding him was supposed to be the hard part. Instead, she and Bucky are forced to navigate truth, trust, and restraint in the narrow space between what was done to them and what they choose to become. Between protecting someone and deciding for them. Between surviving beside each other and daring to want something more. Because remembering someone doesn't mean you know how to come home to them. The Rook continues where The Crow left off: a story of restraint, autonomy, and the unbearable intimacy of choosing someone while the world is still burning.

Maddison Blake has a busy life. She works full time, goes to school full time and is a single mom. She doesn't have the time to worry about anything else. Well, until a skyscraper of a super soldier crashes into her life. This story takes place during Brooklyn, the Bucky and Emilia love story. It's not going to be a long story, but it will have a happy ending and be low drama. As usual, it does NOT follow the MCU. So if something happens that is not Canon to the story, it's for a reason. But the story begins after Captian America Civil War and if you're reading Bucky's story, you know they're not fugitives on the run after. Anyway, enjoy. TW: Smut Language Fighting/war/gore possibly Ill update the list if I realize there are more.

She was trained to remember everything. He was built to forget. For years, the Crow has lived in the aftermath of other people's deaths. Created by TALIC to steal and preserve human memory, she follows behind assassins and leaves with what their victims knew. Names. Secrets. Entire lives. She was never supposed to care about any of them. Until she met the Winter Soldier. Their paths cross again and again, two weapons built by different hands for different purposes, until something neither of them was conditioned for begins to take shape between them. A year later, the Crow has a new name, a tenuous freedom under S.H.I.E.L.D., and people determined to teach her there might be more to life than being useful. But when that freedom begins to feel suspiciously like another kind of ownership, she follows the one secret she has kept from everyone all the way to Romania. There, she finds the Winter Soldier again, secluded from the world, and he does not want to be found. Unfortunately for him, she has a particular knack for uncovering secrets. What begins as a wary truce becomes coffee, books, home-cooked meals, old records, ridiculous notes, and the dangerous discovery that somewhere beneath everything done to them, there are still two people capable of wanting ordinary things. But neither TALIC nor HYDRA built weapons just to let them walk away. And when the past finally comes looking for them, surviving it may require her and Bucky to become the very things they're trying to leave behind.
