Oblivion {Bucky Barnes//OC} by bxrnesstxn
7 parts Ongoing
Annika Romanov's life has always been a patchwork of chaos and survival. A product of Hydra's dark experiments, she was forged into a weapon with unimaginable power and a past she can barely remember. Haunted by fragments of a life she once lived and the truths Hydra buried, Annika fights to reclaim her identity-and her humanity. But she isn't alone. James "Bucky" Barnes, the reformed Winter Soldier, knows the weight of Hydra's chains better than anyone. His connection to Annika runs deeper than they realize, tied together by shared trauma and a love that refuses to be extinguished, no matter how much the past tries to pull them apart. As Annika and Bucky navigate missions that take them to the darkest corners of the world-and their own minds-they uncover Hydra's final, sinister project: Oblivion, a program designed to enslave and control super-powered individuals like Annika. Together with the Avengers, they race against time to dismantle Hydra for good. But even as they fight side by side, Annika and Bucky must confront the shadows within themselves. Annika's powers begin to spiral out of control, threatening to consume her, while Bucky grapples with the nightmares that blur his past and present. When a devastating betrayal reveals Annika's connection to Hydra's darkest secrets, she is forced to decide whether she will be a weapon-or something more. Love, sacrifice, and redemption collide as Annika and Bucky's bond is tested in unimaginable ways. In a world where the lines between hero and monster blur, can they find a way to free themselves from Hydra's shadow and finally embrace the life they deserve?

The past isn't always buried. After the brutal mission with Leo Novokov, Natasha Romanoff awakens with pieces of her life missing, fractured memories veiled in a fog she can't quite penetrate. Her life as a spy, her history as an Avenger-it's all there, except for the warmth of something she can no longer feel but senses should be there. Bucky Barnes, the man who once knew her better than anyone, has chosen to remain hidden, leaving the love they shared buried for her own protection. Bucky is a ghost in her life, careful to stay in the shadows, but unable to fully let go. Everywhere he goes, there are quiet reminders of Natasha-the faded notes in his journals, the scars they gave each other, the empty side of his bed each night. But he's convinced that to bring her memories back would endanger her, so he lets her go. For Natasha, however, the whispers of her past are relentless. Fleeting fragments of laughter, half-remembered dreams, and the brush of a familiar touch haunt her in the quiet. And as she uncovers old trinkets, redacted files that even her highest clearance level can't access, and glimpses of a man whose eyes spark an unexplainable ache, she realizes that her past holds secrets someone wants her to forget. Driven by curiosity and a deep, instinctual yearning she doesn't understand, Natasha starts to chase the fragments back to their source. And with each step, Bucky finds himself pulled closer, torn between protecting her and wanting her back.
