A slightly more canonical Bucky x reader.
Sargeant James "Bucky" Barnes should by all means be dead. Experimented on following his capture in 1943, he survived Hydra torture and was rescued by Captain America, albeit worse for wear and never feeling the same after.
Two years later, while serving with the Howling Commandos, he fell from a moving train in Siberia, but he didn't die then either. More than 70 years passed, and all the time the soldier thought it was over, he again woke up, still alive.
Now, it's 2016. Finally broken free from Hydra, James is alone, hiding out in Bucharest, wanting nothing more than a normal life. But there's nothing about his life that's normal, especially after you come along.
Love shouldn't be blooming from a chance encounter between a veteran ex-assassin and an American housekeep living in Romania, but it is.
Maybe he could start over, and maybe he could find a way not to hate to find himself still alive after it all.

Holding On | Bucky Barnes
It's been two months since Y/N returned to the Compound, but despite her best efforts, she can't seem to escape her trauma. Nightmares haunt her at night, while memories stalk her during the day; a never-ending cycle that she hopes she can smile her way through. She finds distraction in her busy schedule and a few quiet moments in-between, but no matter how hard she tries, she can't forget. And now that the world knows who she is, she likely never will. Some see her as a hero, others see her as a weapon. Y/N doesn't know which to believe-especially with the little control she feels she has over her life anymore. The journey to recovery is never easy, but Y/N thinks it may be impossible. *** [Part 2 of Reaching Out] [Bucky Barnes X Reader] [1st person POV] MAIN THEMES FROM PART 1: Y/N with powers, moving in with the Avengers, Bucky+Y/N romance, quick-burn, drama and trauma (of course), fluff on fluff on fluff.
