A humble nurse catches the eye of a tortured soldier. 

Helen Carter has never been one for being the center of attention. She, in fact, despises it. Instead, she prefers to work in the background where she can help those who cannot help themselves. 

Bucky Barnes never had a choice to fight for his country, but was instead made to. But when he meets a young nurse, he has a choice to make. Pursue a potential future or let her slip away. 

Love is won and love is lost in the tragedy of war. 

Part One: Captain America: The First Avenger (1-11)
Part Two: Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014: 1-13)

𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 | ❝YOU JUST DON'T KNOW HOW IT FEELS, TO LOSE SOMETHING YOU NEVER HAD, AND NEVER WILL. ❞ 。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆ Carmen Ripley is known for making people fall in love with her. She's incredibly easy to love, all the way from how she looks to her personality. She smiles, and everyone falls in love. She speaks, and her soft voice just warms everyone's heart. You see her down the street but never speak, but somehow you think of her a week later. Her aura brings just about anyone joy. The only thing is Carmen rarely gives her heart out, because Carmen's very independent with love and making sure everyone around her knows she doesn't need a man. Which makes it hard for Bucky Barnes because though the girl is his best friend, he's utterly in love with Carmen. The boy just convinces himself that Carmen's out of his league. But his struggles only growing seeing as Bucky becomes a sergeant for the one-o-seventh, while Carmen becomes a nurse for the one-o-seventh. The two rarely see each other but when they do it's filled with soft singing and dancing, broken hearts, and a jealous filled Bucky. But at the end of the day they find hope, in a train, as 'death' awaits one of them. But prior to all that, prior to when the problems truly begin, it starts with three teen best friends, Steven 'Steve' Rogers, James 'Bucky' Barnes, and Carmen Ripley, all living Brooklyn. Their friendship began with a football landing in swim loving teen, Carmen. And slowly their story moves to three adult best friends facing the problems of Earth. Problems none of them truly were expecting. Three separate problems, for three separate people, that may just come back to haunt them later. 。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆ ( captain america: the first avenger) (extended summary inside) (started 5/19/18) (ended 8/3/18)

Soul Stealer ~ (A Bucky Barnes Love Story)

33 parts Ongoing Mature

The fall of SHIELD and decimation of HYDRA was only the beginning. The history you thought you knew was a lie. Bucky Barnes may have escaped from HYDRA, but he didn't do it alone. He went back for a woman he barely remembers, but somehow can't forget. She's the secret everyone would die to possess. Hidden in plain sight until the day she disappeared without a trace. She's been a prisoner for longer than she's been alive, but she's done hiding. Thrust into the middle of a war they never wanted and forced to run from enemies and friends alike the only people they can trust are each other. Can two broken souls find peace or will the enemy they've been fighting their whole lives destroy them once and for all? The world may fear The Winter Solider, but they've never faced a threat like the Soul Stealer.
