Bad Reputation ⋆ 𝓑. 𝓑𝓪𝓻𝓷𝓮𝓼

When Bucky Barnes is on the run, hiding in the shadows of New York, Bucharest, and finally Wraslava - a secretive island kingdom in Western Europe - the last thing he expects is to fall in love. But then he meets her. And everything changes.

Penelope Amara Coventry is the future Queen of Wraslava.
Daughter of King Benjamin and Queen Esme, raised with poise, duty, and tradition. Yet none of that defines her. Penelope is a dreamer, a romantic, someone who finds more truth in novels than in royal decrees. She's been paraded in front of polished suitors, each more unbearable than the last. But she wants more than strategic alliances and crown-polishing diplomacy. She wants real love. The kind that sweeps you away and leaves you breathless.

And with Bucky, she finds exactly that.

He's damaged, closed off, and constantly haunted by the past. But to Penelope, he's more than the Winter Soldier. He's kind, fiercely protective, and above all - real.
What starts as a quiet, unlikely connection quickly grows into something neither of them can ignore. Their love is immediate. Intense. Forbidden.

But secrets don't stay buried forever.

When the world starts closing in - when governments begin asking questions, and Penelope's parents discover the truth about the man she's given her heart to - they'll be forced to decide:
Can love survive when loyalty, legacy, and history stand in its way?

She's next in line for the throne. He's the most wanted man on the planet. They were never supposed to meet - let alone fall in love.

Bucky Barnes X OC

The story starts during Civil War, but doesn't necessarily follow the plot line of the movie. I don't own any of the Marvel characters, furthermore I added people, a country, dialogs etc. that are part of my own imagination for this story.

For all my beefy Bucky girlies
