"Tell me, where do ghosts in love find their bridal veils?
If you and I were ghosts in love,
We'd climb the cliffs of Mystery,
Above the sea of Wails,
I'd trim your gray and streaming hair
With veils of Fantasy
From the tree of Memory.
'Tis there the ghosts that fall in love
Find their bridal veils."
A list of names has followed Bucky Barnes since his first victim was taken by his hands as The Winter Soldier and forever etched into his memory. One by one, Bucky has been able to make amends in some form or fashion in his efforts to reclaim his life, but there was always the one person he could never cross off. How could he when he doesn't even know her name? Bucky's been dealt an unfair hand in life, but maybe someone from beyond the grave could help finally put this mind and soul at peace...
or, perhaps, mess with the natural law and order of things.

When he's brought to the Avengers compound to heal, he expects clinical detachment and judgment. What he finds instead is Lily Bloom, a sweet, stubborn doctor with warm eyes, floral dresses, and a quiet determination to see the person behind the weapon. Lily thought she left SHIELD behind for good. But when she's asked to help rehabilitate the infamous Winter Soldier, she agrees on her terms: no lab coats, no walls and no treating him like a project. As trauma surfaces and trust slowly blooms, the lines between healer and patient begin to blur. But the past isn't done with any of them and when the ghosts come calling, they might be the only thing keeping each other from falling apart again. A slowburn of found peace, small kindnesses, emotional intimacy, and dancing in the shadows.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
