"I can hold my breath, 
I can bite my tongue. 
I can stay awake for days, 
If that's what you want. 
Be your number one. 
I can fake a smile, 
I can force a laugh, 
I can dance and play the part, 
If that's what you ask, 
Give you all I am.
...........
But I'm only human, 
And I bleed when I fall down, 
I'm only human. 
And I crash and I break down. 
Your words in my head, knives in my heart, 
You build me up and then I fall apart. 
'Cause I'm only human, yeah...."
     ~Human; by Cristina Perri

During World War 2, Steve and Bucky took a huge risk and secretly adopted a baby girl- who was actually Steve and Peggy's biological daughter. Because it was illegal for them to be together, let alone raise a child, they kept it a secret from the public. Only a few trusted others knew, and higher ups in the army that found out were forced to keep their mouths shut as Steve threatened to give up being Captain America if they said anything or tried to punish him or Bucky.

Stacy McKayla Rogers, is in a word, stubborn. According to government officials, she takes a little too much after her dad, and should "keep that smart mouth of hers shut and just smile for the camera".

But it's her unwavering compassion and yearn to be a symbol of hope to others that makes her the Avengers she is- Lady Liberty. 

And it's going to shake the whole world.

⚠️Warnings⚠️: *Marvel* Canon level violence, swearing *ranging from strong to mild*, most anything PTSD related, depictions of anxiety and depression, possible depictions of discrimination (mainly lgbtq and antisemitism), tony stark's toxic bs (tony stans do us both a favor and block me now you're not welcome here), depictions of blood and probably torture, death and serious mental health issues, mentions of/heavily implied child abuse

Being the only child of Tony Stark, Freya was kept out of the spotlight so that she might live a semi-normal life. Unfortunately, how she became Tony Stark's daughter is the main reason why she will never have anything near a semi-normal life. Having been sent to Earth at age seven for her own safety by an unknown source, she has no memory of her life before she landed on Midgard. Tony, accompanied by Happy, happened to be the one who found her and immediately felt like it was his responsibility to take care of her. So, he adopts her and loves her like she's his own flesh and blood. Tony watches her grow into a strong, beautiful, fierce woman, whose intelligence might even surpass his own. If magically appearing in a beam of light from space wasn't crazy enough, Freya eventually began to develop abilities as she got older. The physical manifestation of specific abilities ended up being silver in color. Resulting in Tony giving her the nickname "Mercury." Which was quickly shortened to "Merky." Tony always hoped she would lead a normal life after reaching adulthood. From his perspective, she was. Instead, she was actually recruited into S.H.I.E.L.D. not long after her sixteenth birthday by Nick Fury. Who had been watching her from a distance for nine long years. She's transformed into a ruthless assassin and becomes a force to be reckoned with. Unbreakable bonds with two fellow teammates are also forged in the process. But, what will happen when a series of unimaginable events reveals her origin and gruesome past? Who will she trust? Who will trust her? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Steve Rogers x OC (Stark) (The Avengers - CATWS) **Book one in the Mercury Series** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING MARVEL OR DISNEY RELATED!! I only own my original character, Freya Stark/Mercury. Some bits of the story might be changed, but I will stay as true to the movies as I can. Rated mature for language and violence. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

»In which she doesn't know whether she will use the knife to end him or protect him.« ------------------ Promises. They are maybe the mightiest thing there is in this world. Being able to fulfill you with electric ecstasy on the end of the aisle in forms of vows to your loved one, they also have the power to break your heart into a thousand pieces. Sometimes, the shattering isn't caused by someone not keeping their word, but by yourself not able to hold onto it. Cherry has made a promise to her mother when she found her mutilated corpse at the age of barely eight years. A life for a life. Intending to keep her word for whatever it takes, she prepared her entire life to kill the famous Captain America, praised by most people like an angel, and yet, the murderer of the person meaning most to her. Along her turbulent path, swearing she'd end everyone in her way, she just doesn't calculate the presence of another annoyingly-handsome Super Soldier with that damn deep-throaty chuckle. --------- Trigger warning for basically all the chapters, concerning spice, vulgar language, violence and psychological issues such as depression, lack of self-identity, traumatic events, etc. I recommend you to read this story if you're 18+. If you read it beforehand, I don't hold any responsibility as to how it might affect you. ---------------------- I don't own anyone from the MCU. But I do own Cherry, and every character involved in her personal life that isn't taken from the MCU.
Of Life And Hope by okamusame

Full title: Of Life And Hope (Marvel X OCish Fem! Reader) --- Your life had never been easy as you were shuffled around different orphanages while you claimed fake last names to survive in this world. Why? You didn't know. You just knew you were different. A bad different, for most people. The only thing you still had was hope. ... And your friends, your stuff, your life, your knowledge, etc. But the point stayed - this wasn't your place in the world and you were about to find out what was. --- Note 1: So here's a bit of backstory: - The fanfiction doesn't follow the storyline at the start, though it might come to chill on it every once in a while or perhaps towards the end. - This is set after Civil War and Homecoming, during Ragnarok BUT there is the little twist that Hela died (before Thor and Loki were born) in a battle so Ragnarok doesn't happen - it's just set in the time where it did... Or that's the plan right now, it might still change. - After Civil War, they (as in Cap's team) didn't have to go into hiding because it was proved Bucky was brainwashed and they all were just told to lay low until people's anger blew over. Note 2: Although it's a female reader story, everyone else is welcome to read, also (like every other story on my profile since the gender doesn't play a too big part but it's more comfortable for me to write with a certain pronoun). Disclaimer 1: I don't own the cover picture, I found it on Canva and edited it with Canva, too. If you are the owner and wish me to change it, please reach out. Disclaimer 2: I do not own Marvel.
Bucky Barnes: Tony Starks daughter by tomsmytype
35 parts Complete
Imagine x female reader (Y/n) I wrote this when I was like 14 I'm sorry if it's confusing don't expect Brontë ------------------------- A very boring, over worded, written-like-a-child, promise-my-writing-is-actually-better-than-this, summary without too many details: It was weird adjusting, after finding out I was Tony Stark's daughter, but after a while of avoided communication, I bonded well with the my dads colleagues, the Avengers, especially a man I would come to call my best friend, James Buchanan Barnes, or Bucky. A few years of homeschooling later, my dad decided public school would be more beneficial for my childhood development. I'm obviously not good with new people, so this idea didn't thrill me. I somehow ended up making friends though. Things started to get weird after I woke up in hospital, people started looking at me weirdly and my dad felt distant. I start getting close with Peter, but I over hear something strange in the Avengers compound about myself, so I end up going to Peter's, trying to escape from the truth of happened many years ago. Will I run away with Peter and will everything go to plan? Or will the truth come out, leading to a relationship I'd never expected to happen? What will the future hold? ------------------------- Warnings: a lot of swearing and sexual references, but no smut sorry! I don't own any right of the marvel characters. No copyright intended.

She never thought she would ever meet anyone as egotistical as her brother, but boy was she wrong. She never wanted to be in the lime light like Tony, so she kept a quiet private life, even changed her surname, not wanting to draw attention to herself. She was only a few years old, when their parents died, and Tony didn't want her growing up in the spotlight, so he had her raised away from it all. Though she loved her brother dearly for giving her a safe, quiet life, she missed having that bond with him. That is until the day he announced himself as Iron-man and joined the group of misfits that called themselves heroes. She had worked at the local hospital, as a doctor in the ER, but was often called upon to fix up the idiots who didn't know how to take care of themselves. On one of her shifts, she comes across HIM. That smug, egocentric asshole trying to prove that he knew best, arguing with her about a patient, when she had lost it, and punched him in the face. *** Stephen Strange was a man who prided himself on being the best, and here was this woman, who was telling him how to do his job. She was infuriating, stubborn and a huge pain in his ass. After a public disagreement, that resulted in her suspension, when she hit him, he had found out that she was none other than Tony Starks sister. He attempts to make amends, by inviting her to the party in his honour, in hopes of showing the board that she was an asset to the hospital, when his life takes a turn for the worst, and an accident occurs. Both their worlds collide, seeking help from each other, but can they put their differences aside, or will it tear them apart? I DO NOT OWN ANY CHARACTERS OF MARVEL, THIS IS JUST A FAN FIC. ⚠️Will contain swearing, descriptions of wounds, trauma, violence, mature scenes of a sexual nature, depression⚠️
