The Long Nights of Winter - An Alternative Bucky Barnes Story by SJSmith56

Afghan War army veteran Bucky Barnes has spent the last nine years working as a private investigator, the only job he could get after being found responsible for the deaths of two young boys in Afghanistan. After a year in military prison and a dishonourable discharge he struggled to sustain himself with the odd case tracking a cheating spouse or looking for a lost pet. When his friend, Detective Steve Rogers of the NYPD, asks him to protect Natalie Madison, who witnessed the death of her twin sister at the hands of her boyfriend, he jumps at the chance to show he's up for the job. The two discover evidence of a conspiracy that reached into the highest level of the American military during the Afghan war and still continues to the present day. As they try to uncover the truth that could also overturn Bucky's conviction, betrayals expose them to danger as the boyfriend, Brock Rumlow, and his associates hunt them down. Despite his attempts to keep it professional with his client, Bucky and Natalie find themselves becoming emotionally involved. This is an original story in an alternate universe using MCU characters in non-MCU roles. All original characters are my own creations. This story has moments of PTSD, violence, and sexuality but focuses on the realities of the relationship between Bucky and Natalie.

Blind Promises by Bextra6

A lonely girl from a small town in Oklahoma finds herself in the middle of Seattle, Washington. What she didn't know was fate was about to deal her a hand that she needed to help put all her demons back where they belonged, locked away for good. A war hardened soldier, blinded in an attack while doing a black ops mission, was sitting there with his friend at a movie night of all things when an angel walked into the room. What little vision he did have gave him the notion that an ethereal being had just graced his presence. Little did he know, she'd be stuck with him for the foreseeable future after an unexpected attack. At first she was drawn to his service dog, but then it wasn't long before she couldn't keep her mind off of him. Which was good because he had no plans of ever letting her go. Sight unseen, he'd decided she was the most beautiful thing he'd ever met. He knew he had issues she didn't deserve to have to handle. She knew she had a past that he wouldn't want to deal with. But fate had other plans for the two lovers, a blind promise. Can they work through their differences, their mental health challenges, and the dangerous situations that come their way?

Coming Home To You by ArabellaWorthington

Shera Hayes has spent the last ten years nursing the bittersweet memory of Luke Connors -the boy she loved, the man who confessed his feelings just before vanishing without explanation. In their tight-knit small town, rumors have swirled, but no one knows why Luke left or where he went. All Shera knows is that her heart never moved on. Now, Luke is back, attending a mutual friend's wedding, and the air between them crackles with unresolved emotions. But Luke isn't the same man Shera remembers. His once carefree demeanor is shadowed by something deeper-something he refuses to talk about. What Shera doesn't know is that Luke spent the past decade as a Navy SEAL, carrying out dangerous missions that kept him far from the life-and the love-he left behind. As secrets unravel and old feelings reignite, Luke must decide: can he open up about his past and prove he's back for good? Or will his silence cost him the only woman he's ever truly loved?

Bully stepbrother by shesdreamingiamshe

BOOK 1 in the Drowning/Bully Standalone Series. WARNING: This book contains intense bullying, explicit scenes, triggering language, violence, and psychological content. I told Caden to cancel his stupid party. He told me, with that infuriating smirk, "Why? Planning to be my snack tonight?" Caden has made my life hell for four years, ever since our parents got married. He's gorgeous, arrogant, and the kind of boy Stanford girls trip over themselves for. Me? I'm the only one who sees right through him. He's a blatant bully, the devil who turned me into a surreptitious one. And now we're stuck sharing the same off-campus apartment for our entire freshman year. Living together means new rules, no boundaries... and a tension I never expected. The closer we get, the harder it becomes to remember why we ever hated each other in the first place- and nothing threatens our pride more than that. *** Step into an adventure of passion, forgiveness, and second chances. This is Caden and Madison's story.
