(Finding Anastasia is the first part. It's posting out of order for some reason, I believe!)
In the 40's, Anastasia Hall had it all.
Two men who loved her, a job, parents who adored her. She believed her luck would never run out.
Until it did.
She never knew the dangers that lurked in the shadows or why they wanted her. Or why the parents who adored her lied?
With secrets revealed, her past coming to play. She disappears.
70 years later, she's back. She's just not the Anastasia they knew.
Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes will do anything to have her back, but can Anastasia let go of her past and give in?
Or will every new challenge push her further away?
***This is loosely based on the MCU. Bucky is not the Winter Soldier. Steve and Bucky both stopped Red Skull together, so they both went into the ice. It will use some of the script from CA:WS, CA:CW, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame. There will be no Steve going back to past, because his past is in the present.
Trigger Warnings: Abuse (physical, emotional, and sexual), language, nudity and sexual themes, violence, talks of suicide, self-harm, substance and alcohol abuse, loss of a loved one, and mentions of miscarriage(s).***
"I almost forgot the way you feel."
"I'm more than willing to remind you... every night."
You and Bucky met when you were just kids, two souls caught in the chaos of a world at war. Even then, beneath the uniforms and duty, something deeper was growing. Something neither time nor silence could truly bury.
You are Howard Stark's twin sister, a genius in your own right. But shortly after the war, an experiment at Stark Industries went terribly wrong. A biological weapon nearly took your life, until Howard created a serum to save you. One that didn't just stop the disease...
It stopped you.
Now, you're almost 97, but the world sees a woman of 26. A ghost out of time. A secret buried beneath decades of classified files and faded memories.
And Bucky Barnes, the man you once loved, the one who never truly left your heart, is back.
It's time to find out if the flame you buried in the '40s still burns...
Or if the years have changed you both so much, that the past is too far gone to rewrite.
Author's Note:
This story begins during the events of Civil War. While it's based on the original MCU timeline, you'll notice a few key changes I've made to better fit the story I wanted to tell.
I do not own any of the characters, all rights belong to Marvel.
Also, English is not my first language, but I'll do my best to make this an enjoyable read. Thank you for being here, and I truly hope you enjoy the story!
