❝It's like an afterglow.❞

❝Yes, like an afterglow. If seeing something so beautiful makes you feel good then the after of it all must be... more pleasurable.❞

❝A lot of people tend to miss that detail after sunset. But not you. You're a photographer, Aria. The details in nature, in people, are some things you can never miss.❞

But there's one little detail Aria had missed, that they both missed: that they've already met years earlier. 

Aria Gomez, a 25-year old photographer and part-time bartender, has heard countless stories about the adventures of her roommate's stepbrother, Bucky Barnes -- a clumsy, party-driven 38-year old businessman. One day, Aria stumbles upon Bucky inside her apartment on a Saturday night that would change both of their lives forever, as they both take pleasure in the afterglow.All Rights Reserved

However, you wanted to be more than just a friend to Bucky, and what you didn't know was that he felt the same... You and Steve become America's golden duo after taking the super soldier serum and when destiny deals its cards you end up waking up 70 years later to a completely different New York along with Steve. How will everything work out when you find out that the love of your life who you thought dead is in fact alive? This story is going to follow the MCU's timeline for most part, and it will include the Avengers eventually. PS: I don't own any of the Marvel characters in this story, just doing this for fun.

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
