Glass [James Bucky Barnes]
One of the most prolific hitmen of his time, James Barnes is like a parasite ready to consume his host from the inside. It took him years to build his reputation, and he's going to use all his cards to bring down the same people who put him at the top. It is not power that he blames, but justice. His justice. He will be the judge, jury, and executioner of the one who ripped him off his love. !!NSFW!! MATURE CONTENTComplete
Intoxicated
Arabelle Sinclair. Tiny but with a big personality. Only standing at 5 feet flat, she's never the center of attention. But that's okay, as she doesn't really care for the spotlight unlike others. *cough cough* Yelena *cough* . She's stuck in a relationship with a man who she doesn't love, and yet doesn't have the courage to break up with him (as he's kinda a psycho). James Buchanan Barnes. Almost the complete opposite. Dark, moody, brooding, and the hottest living thing on Earth. Tall and handsome, a bulky wallet, and always in the spotlight. And even though he hates the spotlight, being the richest man in the country gives you that spotlight anyway. He's a secretive man who's not very trusting, and puts his everything into his work. On one special night, James and Arabelle meet. And the fate of their relationship depends on how they weave their way through each of their lives. Hopefully it isn't too much to split them apart. ⚠️ TW: Abuse, Strong Language, S/A, Smut ;)Complete

The Winter She Made
They were forged in war and fractured by the same hands that made them monsters. Katherine Zola was born with a name she never chose, the daughter of HYDRA's most notorious architect. A child genius, a living weapon, and the program's most effective ghost. Her mission logs were sealed in blood and buried in silence-until one day, she was given a name: Sergeant James Buchanan Barnes. She didn't know why HYDRA wanted him-not at first. Only that she was ordered to track, weaken, and retrieve him. That her mission began before his fall from the train in 1945. That she was the reason he ended up in enemy hands. And she did it. She followed orders. She delivered him. What she didn't expect was to care. What she didn't plan for was falling in love with the man she helped damn. Bucky Barnes thought he was just another casualty of HYDRA-another soldier stripped of self and turned into a weapon. But the truth was darker. His capture wasn't chance. It was chosen. He was targeted by a girl with smoke in her lungs, ghosts in her eyes, and a lie tucked in her smile. A girl who became everything to him, right before she disappeared. Decades later, they stand on opposite sides of the same war-both survivors of mind control, both drowning in guilt. And both still tethered to each other by a past neither can outrun. Because she was his mission long before he ever became hers. -Set during Captain America: The First Avenger, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, Thunderbolts -long book, buckle up for the ride. #1 in thewintersoldier 9.24.25 #1 in original character 9.23.25 #1 in natasharomanoff 12.28.25 #1 in avengersfanfiction 1.6.26 #2 in jamesbarnes 9.24.25 #3 in samwilson 10.9.25 #3 in marvel 12.30.25 #6 in wintersoldier 9.24.25Complete
