ECLIPSE. ( natasha romanoff ) ✓
Astra Griffin was trained, beaten, and forced to be the best version of herself - or most skilled. She was the best fighter the world would come to know, she was the best archer the world would know, she was the best shooter the world would know, she was the best. It was a problem people would wish they had until they really knew her. They didn't know the people she was forced the hurt, the lives she was forced to ruin, the life she could've had if she had just been born into another family. Though, had she been born into a better family Captain America wouldn't have plucked her off the streets after her escape.

Fighting for You 🔞
Bucky Barnes starts to remember his life before he became the Winter Soldier. After the events of Washington, he had wanted to run away and hide. He knew people would come looking for him, especially Hydra and the Avengers. Hidden away in a remote town, on the outskirts of Maine, Bucky tries to live a simple life without drawing attention to himself. Little does he know, he had been followed. ***** Alexandria (Lexi) Adams, was one of the best shadow agents of SHIELD. She was one that Fury trusted with everything, including her judgement. Fury knew that having the Winter Soldier on their side, would be beneficial, not to mention, it would stop Rogers from turning down missions he was needed on. Lexi follows Barnes from a distance, helping to set him up with a home and job, without him knowing it was her. She had moved in to the apartment across from him, playing the friendly neighbour, which was a feat in itself. Lexi was never considered a friendly type of person. It was her mission, to help keep him safe, recover his past, and obtain any Hydra information. She makes sure to bump into him, while shopping for groceries, introducing herself, but she finds he's very closed off and guarded. Can she get through to him, or will he up and run again? When Hydra operatives come crashing through their complex, Lexi must make the choice, to stand and fight, or run. Will the two work together? Will Bucky come to trust his neighbour, or will he run? ****** ⚠️Trigger Warning ⚠️ Mature scenes, fighting, swearing, torture/experimentation, depression. I do not own any rights ro Marvel, this is just a fanfic. 😊Complete
The Winter She Made
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 #1 in natasharomanoff 12.28.25 #1 in avengersfanfiction 1.6.26 #2 in jamesbarnes 9.24.25 #3 in samwilson 10.9.25 #3 in marvel 12.30.25 #6 in wintersoldier 9.24.25Complete
Corrupted - The Tigris Series Book 1
After 62 long years of serving Hydra, the dangerous female assassin had finally escaped their unforgiving grasp. She was left with nothing. No name, no memory of her life before Hydra, no friends, and no home. The only thing she had was a mission: Find out who she was before Hydra by any means necessary. Three years after leaving Hydra's facility for good, she finds herself in containment on one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s aircraft carriers after a break-in attempt in one of their top-secret facilities. Director Nick Fury has everything she needs to remember who she used to be, and he knows it; however, with the God of Mischief threatening war upon the entire planet, Fury is desperate to collect a group of the strongest and most capable men and women in the world to save the planet from the inevitable alien invasion. And so, a deal was proposed. She must fight alongside Fury's army of six to stop Loki, and in return, she will be given every file and piece of information that he has on her. Although she is reluctant to take orders yet again from another large organization, it is the last shot she has in completing her own mission. She intends for this to be her final battle, but she could never have predicted that her time as Hydra's deadliest assassin was only the beginning of her story. TRIGGER WARNING: violence, torture, gore, PTSD episodes. Takes place during the events of "The Avengers" in 2012.

She made her escape, and the Avengers discovered her collapsed in the snow after the Hydra base exploded. The team were faced with a difficult choice to make in order to save her life. Will she be able to open up and start again? Will she be able to accept her reality? And where will her choices take her? * Don't judge the cover I don't have Photoshop I had to use Microsoft Paint haha my laptop is so old. Also this is the first time I am sharing one of my stories so if you judge please be gentle! * It doesn't really follow the movies, it is more of an in-between movies kind of thing crossed with my own storyline.
