Untold ghost stories of HYDRA's metal fist ★ I've become a shell of the man I once was; my pride shattered, my valor a facade, my hope stolen. I no longer fear death but crave it. There are days when I'd sell my soul for the high they once offered me, and I know that makes me a terrible person, but I'm damned anyway. Sometimes I wonder if I could flourish in freedom, or if it would make me want to end my own life more than I already do. The darkness that shrouds my vision is something I'm not sure I could live without; sometimes being ruthless feels like the only way, brutal murder is a release for me, and now I crave violence. My life is a crooked fairytale, my dreams a dark abyss of restraint and manipulation, and my desires are a twisted shadow of what they used to be. It might seem like I need saving, but I'm not sorry, I'm not in control.

"With a sigh of relief and an ache in his heart of the longed familiarity, Bucky dropped his bag. Home, Bucky took in a grounding breath. Crossing the small room, Bucky plopped face first down on the bare twin size mattress. The frame was a bit snug with Bucky's feet almost hanging over the end of the bed. But that didn't stop Bucky's eyes from fluttering shut. Didn't stop Bucky from taking in a deep breath of the smell of fresh air and lake water. 'Finally,' Bucky contently sighed, 'I'm home.'" -Modern Stucky AU -Smut and other mature content BOOK ONE OF SEASONS SERIES ***I don't own Marvel or the characters of Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes, nor any of the other Marvel characters NOW A PUBLISHED NOVEL

"Gesturing towards his roommate, Sam introduced the pair, 'This is Steve. Steve, this is Bucky.' Bucky neighborly extended his hand out to Steve while telling the petite blond, 'Nice to meet you.' Steve eagerly took Bucky's hand and nodded. That was all he could do. Steve's mouth felt entirely too dry in that moment and he wondered if Bucky could feel just how clammy his hand was. Steve's heart was racing in his chest, and he was positive that he was shaking Bucky's hand entirely too long. Once he consciously realized that the handshake was completely too long, Steve instantly dropped Bucky's hand. Bucky gave Steve an amused smirk." -Modern Stucky AU -Smut and other mature content BOOK ONE OF FALLING SERIES ***I don't own Marvel or the characters of Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes, nor any of the other Marvel characters
