Born into an organization more secret than HYDRA or the Red Room with the goal of peace he was trained since he could walk. A photographic memory really helps when you're trained to fight with every style and speak every language. Grueling training and even worse living conditions prepared him for the worst in every situation. Being taught how to read people made conversation and missions easier. He was taught everything.

By the time he was fifteen, he was the most dangerous person in the organization. He had killed many. Some innocent but he had no choice. Their secrecy is their survival. He still regrets it and already sees himself as a monster.

At sixteen, he signed up for a top-secret project that gave him certain... advantages. But of course, with great things there are side effects.

At seventeen, their enemies found their home base and massacred almost everyone. Him and three others that he knows of got out.

By nineteen, he was the most dangerous man in the world, had gotten a PhD in Psychology of all things, and created an identity for himself.

By twenty-two, he was the world's most dangerous and notorious assassin. He was a myth until he proved otherwise. He was a popular topic of conversation.

At twenty-three, he was approached by a man. A higher-up in the government. A secret branch. He was offered to join their organization and do good. Protect people. SHIELD, they called it. What was his name exactly and why is this important?

Because he's the Ghost. And he's just getting started.

Man in a Can: Tony Stark (PTSD Recovery) by Newt_L_Young_
22 parts Complete
Tony's never been the same since New York. And after the events of Infinity War, his anxiety and PTSD have reached an even more crippling and debilitating state. The rest of the avengers are holding on best they can, Peter will be heading off to college after graduation, and Tony... isn't doing so hot either. With his new-found life of freedom from fear, how can he find the time to escape the prison his mind creates? How can he live his life with Pepper, Peter, and the others, coping with the trauma? And how will they fix the multiverse? This is technically a sequel to "Spider-MAN (A Trans Peter Parker Story)", but you don't need to read the first one. This book takes place after the events of Infinity War, and focuses mainly on Tony getting better and the rest of the avengers along the journey. You don't HAVE to read the first one first, but I'd suggest it. Book 1: Spider-MAN: Trans Peter Parker Story Book 2: Man in a Can (PTSD Recovery) Book cover credit: me *I love trying to keep stuff as canon and believable as possible, but there's a few changes: trans Peter, Steve x Bucky, deaf Clint, Lucky aka Pizza Dog, etc.* *Some instances of sexual/romantic content *LGBT *Good spelling/grammar* *Tom Holland as Spider-Man Version *Possible Marvel spoilers?

Of Life And Hope by okamusame

Full title: Of Life And Hope (Marvel X OCish Fem! Reader) --- Your life had never been easy as you were shuffled around different orphanages while you claimed fake last names to survive in this world. Why? You didn't know. You just knew you were different. A bad different, for most people. The only thing you still had was hope. ... And your friends, your stuff, your life, your knowledge, etc. But the point stayed - this wasn't your place in the world and you were about to find out what was. --- Note 1: So here's a bit of backstory: - The fanfiction doesn't follow the storyline at the start, though it might come to chill on it every once in a while or perhaps towards the end. - This is set after Civil War and Homecoming, during Ragnarok BUT there is the little twist that Hela died (before Thor and Loki were born) in a battle so Ragnarok doesn't happen - it's just set in the time where it did... Or that's the plan right now, it might still change. - After Civil War, they (as in Cap's team) didn't have to go into hiding because it was proved Bucky was brainwashed and they all were just told to lay low until people's anger blew over. Note 2: Although it's a female reader story, everyone else is welcome to read, also (like every other story on my profile since the gender doesn't play a too big part but it's more comfortable for me to write with a certain pronoun). Disclaimer 1: I don't own the cover picture, I found it on Canva and edited it with Canva, too. If you are the owner and wish me to change it, please reach out. Disclaimer 2: I do not own Marvel.

You don't know who your mother is...she was just a one night stand who passed away giving birth to you. Your father didn't want you...At least that's what you thought. Growing up you didn't have the best relationship, he never put you first and liked to hook up with girls and Party instead of being a father. In 2006, at the age of sixteen you were kidnapped when you had run off after your dad skipped out on yet another important event in your life. Hydra had taken you and tortured you...tried to break you. You were given many different experimental serums and forced to fight. You eventually meet a mysterious man who goes by the name "The Winter Soldier". But you just call him Winter. Training was tough...but you survived it because of Winter. You grow to care about him...that is until Hydra took you away and threw you into Cryo. Waking up was a blur, but you were blindfolded and taken to a new facility where you earned a few special abilities. You found your father again...everything was strange. He had changed and was now dating his assistant. And he was part of something called the Avengers. This story follows your complicated relationship with your father and your story of metal health issues. And of course love. I WILL NOT OUT WARNINGS IN THE BEGINNING OF CHAPTERS! ⚠️Smut, Violence, Language.

The Fluffy Adventures of Yelena and Bucky

35 parts Ongoing

That night he pressed a paper into her hands and told her to run, to burn the paper, to never stray from its words, had an impression on her life that she'd never really talked about. But it affected everything. "You're gonna run like hell when you get to out onto the street. Don't stop. Don't ever stop," Was it still worth it, curled up on the cement floor? Yes. Knowing that what you're doing is good doesn't ensure that it'll ever be easy. Bucky learned that many years ago in his childhood, and over again in World War Two. So why was the world still trying to teach him that, after everything he'd been through? Pain, pain, pain, for every choice you try to make yourself. Being yourself causes the pain... that was what Hydra taught him. What Hydra wanted him to believe. And he wished he didn't have to believe it, but it was true. Of course she didn't want to lie to him. He was like hope in the darkness, even when he was part of the darkness. Every time he went through shit, he inspired her. That night when he'd pressed a paper into her hands and told her to run, to burn the paper, to never stray from its words, had had an impression on her life that she'd never really talked about. But it affected everything. Cover by @planetaryfire (thanks so much!)
