He didn't know how it had happened, how he'd gotten so comfortable around you, how he'd let you in. At first, everything was quiet. Bucky was adjusting to this new life, his pardon, his therapist, his amends, and everything they'd gotten him into. Sure there was Yori, but that was like one old man to another, and far more complicated. You were different.
Your friendship with your neighbor across the hall, the James "Bucky" Barnes, blooms as you get to know each other. And as a new extremist group - the Flagsmashers - make their mark on the world, the two of you are left to figure out what that means for your blossoming relationship.
A domestic, sweet, and spicy romantic comedy based on the characters and events surrounding Marvel's series, The Falcon And The Winter Soldier.

unordinary | BUCKY BARNES
Enemies to lovers | Bucky Barnes x reader Most interesting stories start with an uninteresting person, something like 'you were an average girl, with an average life, and every day was the same." but you were not an average girl, and by fact you were far from it. And no day was ever the same. Not when you were an Avenger. Certainly not when you had a 'thing' developing for your so called 'enemy' Bucky Barnes.Complete
Control.
You wake up after the Blip with no memories of your old life and strange powers you can't understand. The Avengers took you in to their new team but you're struggling to deal with the pressure of the job. Who better to help than Bucky Barnes?

Heartbeats 💕[Sebastian Stan x female reader]
"For only a fraction of a second she felt that their hearts were beating in the same rhythm - the world around them seemed to be frozen again." She met Sebastian Stan at a birthday party. It was an innocent first meeting - nothing happened. But when they met again they started to ask themselves: Are they supposed to be friends - or more? A classical romance with ups and downs, a lot of fluff and enjoyable love, a little bit of smut and drama. But hopefully a happy end, right?

Capitol Heat
Two war veterans. One broken system. And a fake relationship the whole country is about to fall for. Senator Y/N has never believed in heroes. Not even the ones with vibranium arms and tragic pasts. So when Bucky Barnes is sworn in as the new Congressman from New York, she doesn't expect much more than chaos in committee meetings and awkward hallway encounters. What she doesn't expect is finding common ground. Or laughing at his dry humor. Or ending up in his bed after a late-night vote. They agree it means nothing. Just tension relief between two exhausted, overworked public servants. Until a key legislative bill they've been building together starts facing public opposition-and their communications teams come up with a brilliant (read: reckless) idea to save it. "America loves a love story," they say. "Especially one between two broken soldiers trying to make things right." So now they're fake dating. Doing interviews, holding hands in public, making it look real. The problem? It's already starting to feel that way. And the more they fake it, the more they realize that nothing between them has ever been fake. Authors note: This story takes place in the MCU timeline, right after The Falcon and the Winter Soldier-but with a twist: Bucky Barnes is now a Congressman. From here, the story breaks canon and follows a new path. I'm mixing tropes I love: Coworkers to Lovers, Fake Relationship, and Friends with Benefits. There will be politics, tension, intimacy, and emotional slow burn. Also, English is not my first language, so thanks for your patience! Hope you enjoy Capitol Heat.
Worse than Strangers | Bucky Barnes Rom-Com
Now they were as strangers; worse than strangers, for they could never become acquainted.* Bennett Mattey first saw him seven years ago in Romania when she lived abroad. The frowning man in a cap always stood out to her when she saw him every Tuesday. Once he disappeared, she all-but-forgot about him. But when she sees him in Brooklynn by chance, she begins to question who the mysterious, gloved man is. It's especially hard when it seems her roommate also has a thing for him and he doesn't seem to remember her the way she remembers him. Bucky Barnes x OC. Pre/during Falcon and the Winter Soldier. A modern comedic spin on Jane Austen's Persuasion as well as it being a Bucky Barnes fanfiction. I wanted to see what would happen when there is just a normal person in his life, and what they would observe as Bucky is healing. *Quote from Jane Austen's Persuasion.

Brooklyn before the bombs
You were just a little girl when he left for the war. Now, you're the woman who'll undo him. 1943. James Buchanan Barnes, the guy from Brooklyn, went off to fight in a war that would change everything. You were only eight-his little shadow on the building steps, the one he swore to protect. But war doesn't just break bones. It breaks time. Now, in a post-blip world, Bucky receives a forgotten file marked with his sister's name. It leads him to a cryogenic facility sealed decades ago... and to you. You're not the girl with scraped knees and shy smiles anymore. You're twenty-four, brilliant, beautiful-and wide awake in a world that moved on without you. He helped shape the woman you became. And now, he can't stop wanting you. A slow-burn, emotionally loaded, high-tension romance set after The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. With flashbacks, guilt, longing, and heat. A lot of it. Brooklyn Before the Bombs is for those who love the ache before the kiss... and the kiss that ruins you. Author's Note: Hey! English is not my first language, so please be kind with any mistakes-I'm doing my best and learning as I go This story is really close to my heart. I love emotional, tension-filled slow burns with a lot of heat, and Brooklyn Before the Bombs is exactly that. I'll try to update daily, so feel free to comment, vote, and scream with me!
