Winter Rose | Bucky Barnes x OC
DISCLAIMER: if violent or distressing content, angst, and suffering make you uncomfortable, please do not read! while this fic does not consist of JUST that, it has quite a lot of it.
Lillian Montgomery was once the pinnacle of beauty in Staten Island. Graceful, small in stature, with a face so perfectly symmetrical it seemed sculpted by the gods. She was meant for a bright future, a life of promise. But in 1945, at just eighteen years old, that future was stolen. At the order of Hydra, she was taken by the Winter Solider, marking the beginning of a nightmare that would stretch across 70 years. Hydra made her into a masterpiece of destruction. A living firestorm, a whisper of death.Their newest weapon, perfected through agonizing experiments that granted her the ability to incinerate anything with a single thought. When she wasn't reducing enemies to ash, she was a possession, a plaything meant to serve the only men who truly owned her: the very people who stole her life away.
Now, in 2015, on a mission to eliminate Nick Fury, chaos erupts.
For the first time in decades, Lillian is outside of Hydra's grasp. Torn between a new life and the only existence she's ever known, she faces an impossible choice; stay in the light, or return to the only man who has ever made her feel real... even if he was her cage.
