Bucky Barnes was always a pain in Betty's ass.
Until he wasn't...

Betty Rogers was glad that her brother had made a new friend, someone to look out for him.  Yeah, he was annoying as hell most of the time, but he could be fun, and kind.

This is Betty's story of growing up, finding love, going to war, and being out of time.

It's in good hands with you." In 1942, the first time you met Bucky, you were in awe. The second time, he didn't even recognize you. When Steve got buff, Bucky was invisible and yet, you were still here, wanting him. In 2027, the first time he's met you in a century, you don't even recognize him. What happens next when he has witnessed the love of his life forced to take the path he was forced into? (I don't own any of these characters, only you reader 🚨And trigger warning, this fanfic will contain mentions of SA and self harm. Along with that sexual content as well (maybe)) I consider this fanfic one of my best ones so far. Although I'm not sure about the representation.

Worse than Strangers | Bucky Barnes Rom-Com by defiantminstrel103

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.

You could love him. - This story doesn't chronologically follow the MCU timeline -All characters belong to Marvel
