The Winter Soldier has always had one job: take orders. Suddenly his orders change from the usual brutality and violence that he's used to, and The Winter Soldier has to do something he's never done before.
He has to protect someone.

OC/Bucky Barnes
Relatively slow burn + shared trauma bonding
Warnings: canon typical swearing.
Slightly more than canon typical violence, and otherwise mature themes.
In honor of the Thunderbolts movie (which I still haven't seen oop--) I'm finally posting this which has been in my drafts since before Endgame came out.

epiphany. (Bucky Barnes x Reader)
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.Complete

Worse than Strangers | Bucky Barnes Rom-Com
Now they were as strangers; worse than strangers, for they could never become acquainted.* Bennett Mattey first saw him seven years ago in Romania when she lived abroad. The frowning man in a cap always stood out to her when she saw him every Tuesday. Once he disappeared, she all-but-forgot about him. But when she sees him in Brooklynn by chance, she begins to question who the mysterious, gloved man is. It's especially hard when it seems her roommate also has a thing for him and he doesn't seem to remember her the way she remembers him. Bucky Barnes x OC. Pre/during Falcon and the Winter Soldier. A modern comedic spin on Jane Austen's Persuasion as well as it being a Bucky Barnes fanfiction. I wanted to see what would happen when there is just a normal person in his life, and what they would observe as Bucky is healing. *Quote from Jane Austen's Persuasion.
Bucky Barnes Imagines
Fluff, Smut and angst with the one only Bucky Barnes AKA The Winter Soldier. Sadly i do not own any of the marvel characters only the reader characters that i create as part of these stories. Originally part of my Avengers Imagines Book which I've since disbanded. I found i was incapable of writing single chapters so with each story ending up at least 4 parts I thought it would be easier to read if i broke the book down into individual characters. #1 Buckysmut 30.09.19... i'm quite proud of that:-) despite there being no smut in this book yet... #letttingthesidedownComplete
Recoil | Bucky Barnes | Marvel Cinematic Universe
verb. To fall back under pressure. To shrink back physically or emotionally. noun. The kickback of a gun upon firing. • It takes a stubborn mind to cling to their humanity when the world seeks to strip it away. It takes a desperate soul to reach for the faintest glimmer of light in the darkness. It takes a courageous heart to admit they chose the wrong side. He didn't ask for this. She walked in willingly. Getting out is the easy part. Surviving is second nature. Forgiving themselves will not be so simple. • #1 in 'MARVEL' - September 2021/July 2022/January 2024 #1 in 'Bucky Barnes' - June 2023/January 2024 #1 in 'James Buchanan Barnes' - February 2022/May 2023 #1 in 'Winter Soldier' - June 2021 #1 in 'TFATWS' - July 2021 #1 in 'Marvel Fanfic' - August 2021 #1 in 'Original Character' - August 2021 #1 in 'Marvel Cinematic Universe' - September 2021 #1 in 'Superhero' - October 2021 #2 in 'Captain America' - July 2021 [Book One of the 'Redemption Arc'.] [Based on characters and events of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
