Life's complicated. Life's not fair. Nothing is straight forward. Nothing remains innocent for long. Death is the only certainty and sometime its hard to distinguish Good and Evil.

There comes a point where you have to realise that perhaps the barrior is not as defined as we onced believed as innocent children. The line blears. Good people do bad things and sometimes, very rarely, when everything starts going wrong, it takes a self-confessed villain to sort it all out.

Natasha was once a farmer's daughter, living in a sleepy old village. However, one day her small world  is shattered with one command and a stroke of a bloody sword. Taken from her home to the heart of the great capital city and thrown into a stormy journey of hate, corruption, manipulation and lies. Friends becomes enemies. Hope turns to fear. Trust becomes a distant childhood memory.

Death is all around as the peace of the city spirals out of control. Which side shall she choose? The heroic new king, armour with his honour and duty? Or the darkness of the city slums where daggers glisten in the night?

"Who are you?" I asked, still left in the shock and scared state that came over me when gunshots were heard. I look up to his face which was hidden behind a dark shadow and bit my lips as silence fell between us. "Who I am is none of your business," he said in a cold, husky voice that somehow caused me to shiver. A frown made it's way onto my face as I looked at the mysterious man who refused to tell me who he is. He stood tall in front of me as we fell into silence again but only for a few seconds before he began to slowly move towards me. His face slowly being exposed to the light, giving me a glimpse of his icy grey eyes. "let's go" he spoke again before turning around. I hesitated a bit before turning around and for some reason followed behind him. ─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ─── Ariana is a 26-year-old young lady, employed at a famous bar in New York City.

Broken - a Bucky Barnes x Female Reader story by literaryavenger
7 parts Complete
Y/N Y/LN has been part of the Avengers since the start, she's battled against Loki, Ultron and Hydra. Now the team is her family and everybody loves her. One day the whole team disappears for a mission, half of them come back the next day, two weeks later the rest of the team, minus one. No one wants to tell her what happened. Steve Rogers, her best friend, comes back three whole months later, with a new guy: Steve's childhood best friend Bucky. That's when she finds out that her family has been in a Civil War, all because of Bucky. Tony still can't see past the Winter Soldier, but Y/N can't help but see the broken man full of pain and empty of memories. - For the sake of my own sanity in this story Infinity War and Endgame do not happen. Also Pietro didn't die, Asgard did not get blown up and Loki is an Avenger. Scott also is an Avenger so let's pretend Cassie and her mother and the Pym family all live in New York :) - "You shouldn't be here..." he says quietly. He's still avoiding your question, so instead you ask "Why not?" "I could hurt you..." he says in a small, sad voice that breaks your heart. "Would you hurt me?" you ask. He frowns and almost immediately says "of course not" still very quietly. You give him a reassuring smile and say "Then I'm not worried." he finally looks up at you and gives you a small smile. - This was my first story so I'm sorry if the writing is not too good, I'll get better I promise. Also, English is my third language but I try my best, if you find mistakes feel free to point them out. - #38 in avengersfanfiction 01/08/2024 - I do not own any characters except for Y/N and any other character of my creation, all the rights belong to Marvel.
"Goodbye Curly Head" by NUmaker
40 parts Complete
Through thick and thin the Law shall prevail. A new sense of purpose awaits us, children of light, in the land where it all began. The darkness in which we once cowered in fear, now curbed by the might of our endless light. Come, brothers, come, sisters. Let there be peace among the wicked, just as the Law dictates. Peace and certainty is all that you have ever longed for, little angel. A bright, stable future. A roof without holes above thy head. Acknowledgement and recognition of thy existence, feverish dreams of grandeur. Greed born from yearning, treacherous vines of rapacity taint your innocent soul. You seek a future that does not exist. Let thy fingers hold the fragile line between dream and nightmare. Let thy light navigate the path. Shall thee give in and falter, O' land of old, envelop his body in thy unending flame of chaos. Spit out nothing but an empty husk, the remnants of a smile once so bright. Shall thee prevail, O', Great Kazdel, I ask of you, the impossible - take mercy on the innocent. Don't let the radiance dim and don't let the mind turn bleak. Wake, young traveler. Bid thy farewells and burn thy bridges. It's time to say goodbye, curly head. Cross post from AO3. For a shorter and more on-point description, look no further! I had something silly written up before throwing it out in exchange for that wall of text upstairs. It's a little story "about a young, dumb sankta who's been dealt a bad hand at life, looking for his place in all this mess. The pointless search for a better future leads him far, far away from home, to a country forever ravaged by war and misery - Kazdel, the promised land where devils roam free and peace feels out of place." Anyway, it's quite lengthy, but hopefully enjoyable? Slide a comment if you want, I'll give you a tiny kiss on the forehead. Man, do I love comments. (Lastly, to point out, English is not my native language, but I don't think it'll be much of an issue ;3)
Does It Still Look Good?- y/n Stark x Bucky Barnes by Kat48270
12 parts Complete
Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist. That's how most would describe Tony Stark. During a trip abroad, Stark meets someone and they have their 'fun' together. But that was all it was to Tony. Fun. Two months later, that same woman finds herself in Starks office telling him the truth. She was pregnant. Tony wanted nothing to do with his unborn. Said that it would 'ruin his business' and then sent the woman away. 24 years later, the Avengers are raiding a Hydra base when Bucky hears a pain-filled scream come from the indoctrination room. He busted through the doors, his gun alight with bullets wedging into everyone but the girl, who was still screaming. He saved her that day. What will their bond grow into? Are you ready to find out? ********** Me, Tony, and Bucky walked through the halls of hydra. Each one contained multiple dead Hydra agents. Tony looked shocked, but I think Bucky knew that I could be this dangerous if triggered. We walked outside and were met with numerous agents, all armed with guns and knifes. There were three tanks behind them, ready to fire at any moment. We all looked at eachother before charging forward. I used the gun that hydra equipped me with to kill them. Bucky used a pistol he took from the Avengers tower, and Tony had his suit. Within the first five minutes, we had disposed of dozens of hydra agents. I kept firing but I felt a warm blow to my stomach. Shit! ********** Originally called; His First Daughter Achievements #2 in Super soldier #4 in Hydra
