"I didn't mean to hurt you. I could never hurt you." He whispers into my neck.

I stroke the back of his head with careful fingers, chin resting lightly atop his skull.

"I know." I soothe, pulling him closer still. 

Sobs escape from his chest, rattling his shoulders in an unsteady rhythm.

In that moment, my heart breaks for him and all the terrible things this life has done. It breaks for the guilt and the ghosts swimming in his mind, the person he was never allowed to become.

It's not fair. 

*****

Nyx Nelson, or agent 184, is one of Hydra's best assets - not that she wants to be.

With her parents murdered in front of her very eyes at age five, she's been tortured and experimented on for fourteen years.

Suddenly her miserable life is turned upside down when the Avengers try to capture her, needing the information she can supply on a set of stolen blueprints for America's next weapon of mass destruction. 

Offered the deal of a lifetime by Tony Stark, she agrees. 

But Nyx's emotions are in for an even bigger surprise when she runs into the ghost that has been haunting her dreams for the past five years - The Winter Soldier.

At first she does everything she can to avoid the super soldier, who brings back memories she has shut out for years. However, their relationship starts to change as they both realise there is more to the other than meets the eye, with more in common than they thought. 

Forced to work together in a bid to take down Hydra once and for all, can the two also help each other heal from their shared trauma? 

Or will their ghosts end up consuming them?

*****

All of the characters belong to marvel/Sony apart from Nyx and a few others.
The plot, however, is mine though it is inspired by the MCU films.

I also don't own the cover art, which I found on Pinterest.

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 #2 in jamesbarnes 9.24.25 #3 in samwilson 10.9.25 #6 in wintersoldier 9.24.25

The Soldier's Wraith ~ Book 1 by Barnes_Supremacy

James Buchanan Barnes had been through a lot in his life: Fighting in wars, brainwashed and forced to kill for decades, fighting to remember who he was... The hardest part of it all? Finding his place back in the world. Then, there was you. You had been someone else for so long, you didn't know how to step back into life. From being taken to the Red Room, brainwashed, and then taken and experimented on by HYDRA for decades, you and Barnes shared your fair share of trauma, both separately and together. You had grown close, although it hadn't happened overnight. You hated each other. There were multiple times over the years when you tried to kill each other and almost succeeded. Eventually, you both escaped HYDRA, and the most peaceful years were when you were on the run. Unfortunately, the world had other plans. You were thrown back into the fight, on a galactic scale this time. Bucky blipped, you didn't. After five dark years, the fight was won, but at a severe cost to both of you. *The main story takes place during TFATWS, but flips between the past and present story of Bucky and Y/N.* *This is being written as I get time. I will try to edit before posting.* *Marvel characters are not mine. There may be some original characters throughout the story. Some of the chapters contain dialogue directly from 'The Falcon and Winter Soldier' show.*

Does It Still Look Good?- y/n Stark x Bucky Barnes by Kat48270

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

epiphany. (Bucky Barnes x Reader) by gingerthestormwitch

Part One of the "No Tricks" Trilogy. Sergeant James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes AKA The Winter Soldier doesn't remember much of his past. You are a former SHIELD intelligence analyst with a troubled past who seeks to help him uncover it. What you don't expect is to fall in love along the way. (Bucky Barnes x Reader). Setting: After CA:TWS until/during/after CA:CW - 2014 - 2016. NOTE: As the events of this book take place over two years, there will be multiple time skips/jumps in order for the story to progress without getting boring or repetitive. Just a heads up if that's not your jam. My OC belongs to me, anything associated with Marvel doesn't; I just use them as my playthings. NOTE: This story is for people 18+. There are mature themes explored in this story including but not limited to: suicide, violence, trauma, and graphic sex. There are warnings above each chapter, but just forewarning you. If you are under 18+, I'd suggest you find something else to read: 1) I don't want to corrupt you. 2) I don't need angry parents/guardians coming for me. But ultimately I can't stop you if you do decide to read this story.

$Loki Laufeyson - The Experiment {1} by Emily_LokisOne$

B12. That was what HYDRA had called her ever since she had been snatched from her parent's grasps at the young age of 4. She had been experimented on, tortured and pushed to her limits for so long that she was beginning to forgotten her old life. One where she had been normal, a life without fear, without misery, without the monster living inside her. But her whole world changed when the God of Mischief discovered her in her white-tiled cell. Upon accidently being found by Loki and the Avengers, B12, also known as Emily, finally has another shot at living a normal life. A mostly normal life. Her powers make it difficult for anything to be normal. As well as having Loki Laufeyson as a friend. Or possibly more than a friend. -.-.-.- Nobody has ever wanted to help me before." I whispered. "They had always hurt me or been afraid of me. I've never had anyone how wanted to... I don't know, be friends with me." "I know how that feels." Loki said quietly. "I've never had any friends. Everyone always wanted to be friends with my brother instead of me. He got all the attention, while I was forgotten about. Sometimes, I would come across that one person who became a friend, but then they would meet my brother and leave me to be friends with him instead" He fell silent, jaw clenched, and I couldn't help place a comforting hand on his wrist. "I promise I won't leave you." I smiled softly. -.-.-.- I do not own any of the Marvel characters in this book except for Emily.
