26 parts Complete Y/N served her country with precision, honor, and the kind of steel-spined discipline that made her a national name. But when her time in uniform ends, she finds herself somewhere even less predictable-the Avengers Compound.
Used to order and respect, Y/N struggles to adapt to the chaos of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. They're loud. Unfiltered. Oddly domestic. And then there's James Buchanan Barnes-quiet, unreadable, and determined to keep his distance.
But Y/N is a soldier trained to observe, and she notices everything. Especially him.
What begins in silence turns into something deeper-built on shared trauma, quiet gestures, and the subtle kind of love that doesn't need to be spoken aloud.
A slow-burn, modern-day romance about healing, noticing the unnoticeable, and finding peace where you least expect it.
