She was perfection. Made exactly as they wished her to be: intelligent, strong, agile, and astute.
There was another, now, that was more so - but she had been the original experiment. She had been the solution to a problem long strived to be solved. A providential accidental perfection for them to build an empire upon.
And so they did, with she as their Duchess and he as their Soldier.
A series of one-shots chronicling the life of Hydra's Duchess.

Joy ride (part1): Stealing
Hydra's got it all wrong. He's no weapon: he was their chariot of destruction. A tank or perhaps a guided missile. But now, this convertible is going for a spin. Rev that engine, scratch that paint-job, hit as many dumpsters as humanly possible. Drive up the wrong side of the lane and over all the orange cones; maybe enter a drag-race or two. Mess around in the backseat with the good guys and the bad girls both; scratch the names of his best in the hood. Just to tick Hydra off, when they see; when they've got him back. Because they will get him back. It's as sure as the pendulum's swing. Still, this swing he's going to make last. Make memorable. This is going to be the one: the one above all. Joyride. Or: Post Civil war, Bucky saves Steve from political suicide, Tony from himself, and the Avengers from implosion. He fixes it all, except for himself.Complete
Empress ||Bucky Barnes||
He was trying to make peace with his past. So was she. James Barnes and Anastasia Morozov were similar in many ways, and possibly the only people on the planet who understood each other. Both having a past with HYDRA and experiments, being used and brainwashed and broken. It was no real surprise that they first met on the battlefield in Wakanda, or that the first time they spoke was after she broke into his apartment to avoid knocking on the door. They were friends by the time they joined the fight against the Flag Smashers, but it's hard to tell in between the fighting if they can become more. Especially since Sam won't seem to leave them alone. Three is, after all, a crowd. ||Bucky fan-fic|| ||TFATWS|| ||mature themes||Complete
Winter's Labours (Winter Soldier X OC)

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.

Fire and Ice
Ever since she was little, Kate Carson's favorite thing to do was learn. And, after losing nearly everything and gaining a power she never wanted, she had to learn to adjust -- and she's still learning. The other Avengers have no scruples against forcing their way onto her list of loved ones, ready to help her get back to where she needs to be. Sadly, as hard they try, they can't, not fully. She needs something else, something she's too guilty to turn to. Bucky Barnes should be dead, and, according to most, he is. But Kate always refused to believe it -- and she's later proven right. He's working with Hydra against his will. But even when he escapes, everything he did for them weighs on him heavily, and he can't get rid of that burden. He feels he deserves it, anyway. When this pair cross paths and realize they're in the same boat, together, they might be able to get to the place they need to be. They might be able to finally live how they're supposed to. And, maybe, they'll find a type of love they never imagined. ~_~_~_~_~ She sits there, looking around at the toddlers she's supposed to be saving the world with - because Fury, in his great and stupid wisdom, decided to put Kate on that list. She told him no, he told her they might not even need it; she told him to take her off, that she was just a scientist, but he told her they'd need a top scientist in their corner; she told him no one on that list needed her, that they would be just fine without her, if not better, and he told her this was the best way she could use her powers if the need arose. Powers. Here, in the field, that's what they are, aren't they? That's what Coulson says. That's what Nat and Clint say. The one place they need destruction. But Kate doesn't want that. She never has. But she took her own choice away. And that infuriates her.

I was panting heavily, sweat dripping from my forehead and my arms beginning to quiver with the sheer force I was exerting. From what I had seen from him, he could get out of this easily. I could think of several ways he could make this very difficult for me. But he wasn't. He was just looking at me. There was no anger. No hate. No malice. All I saw in his face was interest mixed with a bit of confusion. "Who are you?" I asked him. He continued to gaze at me for a few more moments before answering.
