Darla was a simple girl born in West Virginia in the late 1910s. She grew up a kind, smart, generous and caring person. So.. how exactly did she find herself waking up in an abandoned military base a hundred years later?
Her father was a soldier for the US Army and was being transferred permanently to be stationed in Austria. Being the only family she had, Darla decided to move with him and take a job at a US-allied Bar to occupy her time. Everything was going well given the surrounding circumstances until one night she met a handsome boy from New York City who was fighting on the front lines with the Howling Commandos to win the war.
Now present times she finds herself in a world that's almost completely foreign chasing information in an attempt to figure out the past. Fix her mind before it eats her alive, and battle the demons that have been forced upon her.
With the help of some new allies and her new best friends Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff, can Darla figure out what's happened to her family, and take back control of her own mind on top of trying to save what's left of the people she loves and finding her way in this new world?

Belonging - A Bucky Love Story (Marvel/Avengers)
' "Put her down, Bucky." It was Steve. Staring up into Bucky's eyes that were now glued to the captain, Brenna saw the soft blue turn to steel. A low growl grumbled in his throat. He gently placed her back onto her feet, whipping a knife out of his belt. He pushed Brenna behind him protectively. Backing away with caution, Brenna could only watch as the suspense rose. "Don't make me do this," Steve pleaded, his voice sounding tired. But Bucky was gone once again, taken control of by the Winter Soldier. And the only thing that mattered now was completing his mission. The two lunged for each other. ' • • • Brenna Halliday Stark. She'd never dreamed that one day she would have superpowers; that one day, she would kill. One day, she would fall in love with an assassin under the control of HYDRA. But it happened. What starts as innocent curiousity almost costs Brenna her life many times. However, with new abilities arrising seemingly everyday, she becomes an incredibly powerful opponent. Including her grettest ability yet: the power to calm and even heal the Winter Soldier. • • • Takes place mostly during The Winter Soldier and the unfilmed events after that movie. For the sake of this story, Civil War and any movies afterwards never happen. I want there to be a nice, happy ending. ♡Complete![All Our Flaws Are Aligned [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/282718668-256-k810651.jpg)
All Our Flaws Are Aligned [COMPLETED]
An Avengers Bucky Barnes x OC Story **SMUTS** You hated Hydra, and everything associated with them. So you absolutely detested the fact that the Avengers had welcomed back the Winter Soldier with open arms after everything he had done. Not that you could voice your opinion anyway, considering that none of them knew you existed. You had spent most of your life hiding in plain sight, with only Tony and Pepper aware that you lived in the compound. Until one day, when the reformed Soldier needed his arm fixing, and unexpectedly finds you in the lab. ------------------------------------- "Tell me your name." "No." His hand went to your hair, his fingers threading through, and he tugged. Not hard. Not particularly light either. The feeling went straight through your body, and you almost sagged. "Are you sure you want to say no to me?" He said as he came so close to you that his nose was brushing over yours, and his lips were almost touching you. You couldn't help your mouth panting open. "Princess?" "Stop calling me-" You were silenced when he kissed you. ------------------------------------- TW: BDSM themes #1 in jamesbuckybarnes #4 in originalstory #4 in originalcharacter #1 in buckybarnessmut #1 in bucky #1 in jamesbarnes #1 in buckybarnesxoc #2 in buckyxreader #10 in enemiestolovers #1 in avengers #3 in slowburn #1 in buckybarnesxreader #3 in romance #1 in barnes #1 in steverogers #1 in buckyxoc #1 in marvelimagines #1 in jamesbuchananbarnes #2 in buckybarnesComplete

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

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
