Innessa "Nessa" Stark was stolen from her mother as a child and trained to be an assassin/spy by the Red Room.
James "Bucky" Barnes was a sergeant in WW2 before he was a Super Solider, the Winter Solider.
The two are both haunted by their actions in the past. Romance would be completely absurd... right?

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

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

Hard to Love (Bucky Barnes fanfic)
A/N: first few chapters are a bit 'cringy' with spelling errors (I write this on my phone) but if you can get past those two things, I PROMISE the story and writing get better. Will be doing heavy editing/construction once the book is complete Agent Amelia Hayes is the newest recruit to the Avengers team after getting a second chance at life thanks to none other than Tony Stark. While learning how to use her powers for good and what it truly means to be a hero, shes also creating bonds with everyone on the team as they help her along her journey. All except James Buchanan Barnes that is. She doesn't know why the moody super soldier has such a vendetta towards her but she does know that she can't help but get flustered and ogle around him. Getting to the root of everything is one problem. Figuring out where to go when she gets her answers is another. But Amelia Hayes never backs down from a challenge.

The man who killed your parents. It only gets worse when he takes interest in you, but you want absolutely nothing to do with him. Lots of um... angry sex.
