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.

Sergeant Barnes: The Last Mission (COMPLETE)
The Avengers may have emerged victorious from the Infinity War, but not everyone lived to see it. Bucky Barnes lost his best friend, Steve Rogers, the only person who ever managed to break through to him while he was under HYDRA's control. HYDRA is rising again, though, and Captain America isn't alive to stop them. It's up to Bucky and a handful of Avengers to stop them. This is the first book in the Avengers Gen 2 series I don't own Marvel Note: This story is not in line with the plot of Avengers: Infinity War. I have created a background based on a different outcome, which is elaborated on slightly over the course of the story. In my Oneshots book, it explains how Tony is alive. He still snapped with the Infinity Stones, but I fixed it so he didn't die. You're welcomeComplete

The Winter She Made
They were forged in war and fractured by the same hands that made them monsters. Katherine Zola was born with a name she never chose, the daughter of HYDRA's most notorious architect. A child genius, a living weapon, and the program's most effective ghost. Her mission logs were sealed in blood and buried in silence-until one day, she was given a name: Sergeant James Buchanan Barnes. She didn't know why HYDRA wanted him-not at first. Only that she was ordered to track, weaken, and retrieve him. That her mission began before his fall from the train in 1945. That she was the reason he ended up in enemy hands. And she did it. She followed orders. She delivered him. What she didn't expect was to care. What she didn't plan for was falling in love with the man she helped damn. Bucky Barnes thought he was just another casualty of HYDRA-another soldier stripped of self and turned into a weapon. But the truth was darker. His capture wasn't chance. It was chosen. He was targeted by a girl with smoke in her lungs, ghosts in her eyes, and a lie tucked in her smile. A girl who became everything to him, right before she disappeared. Decades later, they stand on opposite sides of the same war-both survivors of mind control, both drowning in guilt. And both still tethered to each other by a past neither can outrun. Because she was his mission long before he ever became hers. -Set during Captain America: The First Avenger, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, Thunderbolts -long book, buckle up for the ride. #1 in thewintersoldier 9.24.25 #1 in original character 9.23.25 #1 in natasharomanoff 12.28.25 #1 in avengersfanfiction 1.6.26 #2 in jamesbarnes 9.24.25 #3 in samwilson 10.9.25 #3 in marvel 12.30.25 #6 in wintersoldier 9.24.25Complete
