James Bucky Barnes, the former soldier, is sick of running from his past. He's slowed down. He's making amends. He's joined up with the Avengers. He's trying his best.
Juniper Grace Coggeshall, the former prodigy, has perfected the science of running from her past. She's got the whole damn city on a surveillance grid, a backdoor into half of SHIELD's networks, and a bad habit of jumping out windows to escape confrontation.
Listen - Bucky doesn't want to care. But he can't seem to stop himself from chasing after her, either.

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
Americana
"'til Brooklyn sinks." She entered the world in the same breath as a legend-Stella Grace Rogers, twin sister to Captain America. A fighter, a flame, laughter caught in her lungs and bruises etched into her knuckles. Long before the world christened her Americana, she was only Brooklyn's brightest spark-Bucky Barnes' whole, unshakable heart. Bucky was Steve's friend first. Stella's second. But somewhere between the teasing glances and the stolen dances, he fell-hard, helpless-for the girl with a golden heart and fire burning through her bones. They were young. They were in love. They were engaged to be married. And then the war split everything wide open. Seventy years later, history remembers her as Americana: the woman with the vibranium liberty ring, the unyielding icon, a legacy carved in blood and sacrifice. But behind the title remains the girl who never stopped grieving the boy with the metal arm-the boy who once swore her forever. She burned bright. He was forged into a weapon. And now, as the past rises again from the ice, all that endures is the love that time could never bury. Some ghosts wear dog tags. Some wear diamond rings. -Set during Captain America: The First Avenger, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, and some Avengers: Endgame -long book, buckle up for the ride. #1 in jamesbuchananbarnes 11.5.25 #1 in thewintersoldier 11.6.25 #1 in original character 9.24.25 #1 in marvelfanfic 12.7.25 #2 in buckybarnes 12.1.25 #2 in captianamerica 10.13.25 #3 in captainamerica 10.11.25 #4 in captainamerica 11.6.25 #5 in jamesbuchananbarnes 11.2.25Complete
