Bucky Barnes befriended retired school librarian Joyce Franklin in Crossing Off the List. On a stay at her home he saw a painted self-portrait of her daughter, Hope, when she was a teenager. Feeling a connection to it, he was disheartened when their initial meeting didn't go well. Although he still wants to get to know her, if she's just as brittle as their initial meeting, will Bucky try to engage with a woman angry with how her life is going?
Can Bucky suspend his own tendencies to withdraw rather than try to connect with Hope?
Can Hope Franklin learn not to lash out emotionally rather than allow herself to love again?
Can Joyce be an effective bridge between the pair long enough for them to realize they may have something worth fighting for?

"Can I?" He asks, tugging on my shirt. My heart started to race slowly, and a part of me wanted him to not touch me, but a very big part of me wanted him to keep going. Before I could say anything, I took off my shirt for him. "That takes away the fun," he frowns slightly, kissing my jaw. "But it makes things go by faster," I whisper. "Who said we have to go fast?" He smirks, biting my ear. >>><<< Alexis can never seem to catch a break. The girl who plays the role of a babysitter for the notorious Tony Stark, is hiding a secret.

Red
Heartbreak made me reckless. Loving him made me whole. When Steve Rogers broke my heart, I wasn't sure I'd ever recover. He was my everything, until he wasn't. So I pieced myself back together the only way I knew how. With anger. With mistakes. With fire. And with someone I never expected-his best friend. James Barnes is complicated. Dangerous. Broken in his own ways. But he's the one who stayed. The one who chose me. This isn't a fairytale. It's messy. It's devastating. And it's real.Complete
Saving Bucky-Rewrite
⚠️18+ only. Under 18, DNI⚠️ Bucky POV: I escaped Hydra 1 year ago, and have been on the run from S.H.E.I.L.D. ever since. I've managed to fly under the radar this long, stayed to myself. It was easier this way. I have done so much damage, hurt too many people already. I couldn't risk it. I was ok being alone, at least I thought I was. Until I met her. Olivia POV: I hated this town. I've lived here 5 years now, and all I wanted to do was escape. I moved here for a man. First mistake. Will never do that again. I have been working full time in a small, dark dive bar. I had a few friends, but I work so much so I mainly socialize with my regulars that come into the bar. I was numb to my life basically. Then he walked in. I do not own any of the characters that I use from Marvel or and if the images. This story takes place around the time of Captain America Civil War, so it does not follow the actual story line.Complete
