༺♰༻ She had travelled far and wide, through lands that reeked of iron and incense, where saints bled and sinners prayed. She had warred with angels and supped with devils, her blade wet with mercy and vengeance alike. She had watched kingdoms crawl gasping from the womb, only to be cradled by the wrong kings, crowned by unworthy hands. She had seen men die with her name fumbling from their lips, a final breath wasted on a woman made of storm and bone. She had known cruelty so intimately it had become her second skin and now, somehow, she was beginning to know love. It frightened her. It softened her. Perhaps that was why it felt like dying. Maybe, she thought, she'd choose love anyway. Reciprocity- it all came down to that in the end, Karasteinna supposed. Love was not conquest nor surrender, not giver nor receiver but the trembling place between. As with lovers: when it is right, you cannot say who is kissing whom or whose soul is devouring the other. You only know that you are both burning and for once, neither of you minds. the last kingdom finan x oc season 2 - ??? smut warning

"I am a demanding creature. I am selfish and cruel and extremely unreasonable. But I am your servant. When you starve I will feed you; when you are sick I will tend to you. I crawl at your feet; for before your love, your kisses, I am debased. For you alone I will be weak." - Bound together by more than their souls, James Barnes and Demetria Rogers burn for one another. A primal instinct inside of them, that claws and rips away at their sanity until they find each other. - Or - James and Demetria were always meant to be. In every universe, they find their way to each other, and in this one, it is no different. -

There were three things you knew about yourself: 1. Your Dad was a Grade-A asshole 2. You were a mess 3. The Winter Soldier saved your life The world went to shit five and a half years ago, when you had been a fresh-faced twenty-year-old on the run. You took the opportunity with both hands and rebuilt yourself, disappearing and emerging with a whole new identity. That was until Bucky fucking Barnes crashed his way into Madripoor and completely blew your cover. And worst of all- he wanted to help you because your name was on some dumb list of his.

"Even after I activated the Winter Soldier, the first thing he wanted was her. That devotion, that loyalty-a bond like no other. Even after all of Hydra's brainwashing, he never forgot her. Aren't you the least bit curious as to why that is?"

Dr. Elena Cătălina Mirea is one of the world's most skilled trauma surgeons - a reputation that makes her invaluable to the wrong people. When HYDRA abducts her from her hospital, she is forced into a frozen nightmare deep in the Carpathian Mountains. Their demand is simple: repair their greatest weapon, the Winter Soldier. ‼️: This series is extremely dark, touching on graphic violence, psychological torment, and human suffering in all its forms. If you choose to read, proceed with caution.

But when she "Blipped," and returned, all who once controlled her were gone. So she fled to New York City where she could hide until she was certain Israel wasn't coming after her. Hide from everyone, even her friendly old, apartment landlady and especially the ex-military guy next door. Her strength faded. The drug that numbed her emotions faded. But something else took its place. Now, desperation drives her out of hiding, right to the soldier who is more like her than she initially thought. Shamara joins Bucky and Sam in their quest to find the source of the new supersoldiers, hoping to find a cure along the way. Yet with each passing day, she longs for more than survival. Nothing is certain. Shamara and Bucky know it better than most people. But are they willing to be scared and uncertain and still choose each other? (Set through the events of TFATWS. Trigger warning for light depictions of violence and PTSD symptoms.) Highest Ratings: #1 Black Panther #6 The Winter Soldier #9 Avengers Fanfiction
