Unapproachable - (Bucky x Reader)
You have been working for S.H.I.E.L.D and S.W.O.R.D for a while until Steve Rogers invited you to work with the Avengers. You accept, but there's a certain super soldier you don't get along with. You go through different obstacles throughout this story. Will he help you out, or make matters worse? Note: this is more of a slow burn type of story😅 (This story will be through seasons. For example, season 1 will focus on one topic, season 2 on the other and so forth). TW: 🌶 and violence 18+Complete
