Set seven years after the events of Trying Your Luck (and Falcon and the Winter Soldier). Bucky Barnes, his wife Shannon, and their son live a quiet life in Delacroix, Louisiana. Meanwhile, in Twin Falls, Idaho, a sinister ideology is expanding.

The Circle of Cain is an underground right-wing religious extremist group led by a former Super Solder named Zechariah Howell. Howell and his members are slowly building an army with the aim to topple the government and assassinate Captain America.

The only problem is, they need to remake the infamous serum.
~~~
NOTE: THIS IS A SEQUEL TO TRYING YOUR LUCK!!! These relationships and original characters are well-established. If you're encountering this for the first time and are confused, don't worry! You just have to go back and read 74 chapters (I'm so sorry 😂)

This is going to be a darker story than Trying Your Luck, but I will continue retain the humor and the light moments that people loved so much about the first fic, so don't worry, it won't be a total angst-fest. That being said, there will be more angst. And there will be mild Black Widow spoilers so if you haven't seen it... sorry 😬

Another warning: This fic is going to deal with religious extremism, cults, brainwashing, violence, and just general bad stuff. I have no idea how old most of my readers are so please take caution while reading. My writing is intended for an 18+ audience.

As always, content warnings will be posted at the beginning of each chapter that I feel requires them.

Title is based on "The Pretender" by the Foo Fighters.

*** I want to thank everyone that has taken the time to read my book, I can not believe it has over 50k views! I appreciate you all so much 💙 Spencer is just a normal girl. Sure, she has powers. But she also has a past that haunts her, family issues for days, and no one to trust but herself. But, that's normal, right? So she's kind of alone. She keeps busy by taking missions, making money, and making sure no one knows who she is. She's very use to this way of living. That is until a mission doesn't go exactly as planned and she may have to give up her way of living, also exposing her true identity and way of life to the avengers. Maybe she outruns them and her past. Or maybe a certain avenger grabs her attention and doesn't let go. **for more Spencer check out my other book Into the Fire** Sequel 1.5 now posted! -------------- Gxg slow burn. There's a vision here, I promise. Natasha X fem OC Won't lie, the first few chapters are alright but they get better (I think) I don't own any of the marvel characters or any part that may involve a marvel movie storyline. I do own Spencer Bears and the rest of the story. This is an AU story. I've created my own fantasy world and the avengers are living in it. That being said not everything will match up with what we know of the avengers and the movie timelines. This is my first story and I'm testing the waters. If you're here, I appreciate the read! If you have questions or suggestions, let me know! *****will be editing to add in smut. Wasn't comfortable writing it back then, but now idgaf.

James Bucky Barnes x OC AU / 18+ mature content We all know the story. Two star-crossed strangers are brought together by fate . They have secrets, huge dark secrets but despite those they fall for each other. They go from being strangers, to friends longing to be lovers, to something in-between. Then something goes wrong. Something brings them apart, something so big they both forget how they ever trusted each other in the first place. They become each other's most hated enemy. "I trusted you. You betrayed me. We're done." ~ WARNINGS: 1) I never rush. There's gonna be GROWING TENSION, before anything happens. 2) hardcore/possibly kinky smut (*wink*) The story is inspired by the Marvel Cinematic Universe and its characters. I don't own any of the characters or original Marvel storylines. There are Marvel references and Easter eggs (Both to the comics and to the MCU). But the story is not set in the MCU, the Avengers and superheroes do not exist unfortunately, only in comics and movies. Will try to post once a week, sometimes once every two weeks depending on how my Uni work plans out. Enjoy! xx

Holding On | Bucky Barnes by Steve_Writes

It's been two months since Y/N returned to the Compound, but despite her best efforts, she can't seem to escape her trauma. Nightmares haunt her at night, while memories stalk her during the day; a never-ending cycle that she hopes she can smile her way through. She finds distraction in her busy schedule and a few quiet moments in-between, but no matter how hard she tries, she can't forget. And now that the world knows who she is, she likely never will. Some see her as a hero, others see her as a weapon. Y/N doesn't know which to believe-especially with the little control she feels she has over her life anymore. The journey to recovery is never easy, but Y/N thinks it may be impossible. *** [Part 2 of Reaching Out] [Bucky Barnes X Reader] [1st person POV] MAIN THEMES FROM PART 1: Y/N with powers, moving in with the Avengers, Bucky+Y/N romance, quick-burn, drama and trauma (of course), fluff on fluff on fluff. NOTES: Follows a timeline where Hydra is still active after 2014 (CA:WS), Avengers didn't break up after Civil War, and takes place ~one year after Bucky's return from Wakanda.
