Thawing Chains

Bucky Barnes x Reader

The Winter Soldier is a man of control-or so he thought. Haunted by fragmented memories and the weight of his past, he finds himself vulnerable in ways he never expected. When he crosses paths with you, a quiet but commanding presence in the midst of chaos, he feels a pull he can't resist.

As someone with a knack for helping, you see through his cold exterior to the wounded man underneath. But Bucky Barnes isn't just broken; he's yearning for release, for someone to take the reins of his tightly wound world. Slowly, a bond forms, one of trust, vulnerability, and power that transcends the battlefield.

In your arms, the Winter Soldier learns what it means to let go, to submit not in defeat, but rather devotion. Together, you navigate the shadows of his past and forge a future.
