Hospitalstay Stories

They've faced enemies, betrayal, and the ghosts of who they used to be. Together, Bucky Barnes and Natasha Romanoff have always found a way to survive. But survival looks different this time. What starts as a simple mission ends with Bucky collapsing and a diagnosis no one can explain. He's stable-until he's not. The man who's fought through decades of pain is suddenly trapped in a hospital bed with no clear way out. And Natasha? She's forced to watch the strongest person she knows fade, piece by piece. Bruce searches for causes. Natasha searches for answers. And Bucky drifts between memories and reality, between fighting and surrendering. This isn't a battle of bullets or blades. It's the slow unraveling of control-and the quiet, terrifying wait to see what's left when everything else is stripped away. But if there's one truth they've never let go of, it's this: they don't leave each other behind.
