Bucky Barnes is finally starting to get back bits of his past with the help of Shuri, but it is jumbled and unclear. As he attempts to sort them, he struggles to put the pieces together to get his memories back and see what, if anything, was good about the life he had wiped away from him.

As his dreams start reveal more detail, Bucky thinks he recognizes someone he's just getting to know now. Is it actually a memory or is he is trying to put together something that was never there?

This is Book 1 in the Untangling series. Chapters for Book 2 - Untangling a Future - already being posted!

The Winter She Made by XsleeplesswritingX

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 9.24.25

Heartbeats 💕[Sebastian Stan x female reader] by Unkommentiert

"For only a fraction of a second she felt that their hearts were beating in the same rhythm - the world around them seemed to be frozen again." She met Sebastian Stan at a birthday party. It was an innocent first meeting - nothing happened. But when they met again they started to ask themselves: Are they supposed to be friends - or more? A classical romance with ups and downs, a lot of fluff and enjoyable love, a little bit of smut and drama. But hopefully a happy end, right?
