𝒇𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒔| 18+ {Bucky Barnes}
{Formerly named Țuică} If you asked Dr. Aurora "Rori" Harris whether she was your average psychologist, she'd probably laugh and say, "Absolutely yes!" She worked long hours, carried her patients' burdens home with her most nights, and went above and beyond for anyone she cared about. That was just who she was. But the truth? Rori was far from average. She had a particular set of gifts-skills that even she didn't fully understand. Skills that would make her indispensable when Sam Wilson and Captain America came calling, asking her to track down Steve's childhood friend, James Buchanan Barnes... aka Bucky, the Winter Soldier. She can't say no. She wants to help. But as she dives deeper into the shadows of Bucky's fractured world, one question hangs over her: Will she keep her promise to Steve and Sam? Will she reveal Bucky's location, or will she find herself dangerously drawn to the broken man behind the legend?Complete

Heartbreak made me reckless. Loving him made me whole. When Steve Rogers broke my heart, I wasn't sure I'd ever recover. He was my everything, until he wasn't. So I pieced myself back together the only way I knew how. With anger. With mistakes. With fire. And with someone I never expected-his best friend. James Barnes is complicated. Dangerous. Broken in his own ways. But he's the one who stayed. The one who chose me. This isn't a fairytale. It's messy. It's devastating. And it's real.Complete![Who Am I? » [Stucky]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/14712405-256-k992445.jpg)

Set after Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Bucky is lost, without a purpose and brainwashed within an inch of his life. S.H.I.E.L.D and Hydra have both fallen and without anyone to stop him, Bucky intends to find out who he is - or who he was - before Hydra took away every last inch of him.

Steve knows it isn't going to be easy, and wants to set Bucky on the road to recovery; but confusion and nostalgia hides around every corner. If Bucky is to find himself once again, Steve is going to have to face some hard truths about how he lost his friend and see him through every step of the way as he recovers, seeing him through the good times, and the bad. They might soon realise that the question "Who am I?" carries so much more than a name and a face.Complete

A Modern Bucky Barnes x OC Story **SMUTS** TW - Lots of BDSM. Sexual content. Sex Work. Death. Violence. You worked for Mr Barnes as his secretary, and had been working for him for the last year. He was obviously the hottest CEO you had worked for. Hell, he was the hottest CEO you'd seen. But you were a professional, and you always kept your distance. You also kept your day job completely separate from your evening activities, being careful not to risk anyone finding out what you liked to do past 8pm. That is, until the two worlds collide. Then, your past also starts to catch up with you. FYI, this is not a typical secretary-CEO story. ---------------------------------------------- "It's a fucking double standard Bucky, and I don't understand why you can't just leave me alone like you leave everyone else alone!" "BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT EVERYONE ELSE!" He yelled suddenly, making your anger disappear instantly. "You are completely different." He added, his voice quieter, but his teeth still gritted. "Why am I different?" You asked, frowning at him in confusion. "You can't seriously be that naive?" He chuckled heartlessly. The anger flared back up. "Listen here Bucky, if all you're going to do is insult me for asking simple fucking questions, then I will walk ou-" Your words were cut off, by Bucky crashing his lips to yours. ---------------------------------------------- #1 in buckybarnessmut #1 in sexualfantasy #1 in jamesbarnes #1 in bucky #1 in samwilson #2 in originalcharacter #2 in originalstory #1 in avengersfanfiction #1 in buckybarnes #1 in buckybarnesxreader #4 in fanfiction #1 in steverogers #4 in alternateuniverse #1 in modernworldComplete
