James Buchanan Barnes is a man out of his time, lost in the darkness that Hydra left in him. Frejaina Heladottir swims in darkness, but the chains of Hydra destroyed 400 years of her strength. After the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Bucky and Jaina stay in hiding across Europe. It's a lonely existence, broken and battered by Hydra. But they can't avoid the traumas they share- their souls have been linked since the 1950s. Under the weight of their isolation, they are the only ones who can heal each other.

  • Holding On | Bucky Barnes
    Holding On | Bucky Barnes
    It's been two months since Y/N returned to the Compound, but despite her best efforts, she can't seem to escape her trauma. Nightmares haunt her at night, while memories stalk her during the day; a never-ending cycle that she hopes she can smile her way through. She finds distraction in her busy schedule and a few quiet moments in-between, but no matter how hard she tries, she can't forget. And now that the world knows who she is, she likely never will. Some see her as a hero, others see her as a weapon. Y/N doesn't know which to believe-especially with the little control she feels she has over her life anymore. The journey to recovery is never easy, but Y/N thinks it may be impossible. *** [Part 2 of Reaching Out] [Bucky Barnes X Reader] [1st person POV] MAIN THEMES FROM PART 1: Y/N with powers, moving in with the Avengers, Bucky+Y/N romance, quick-burn, drama and trauma (of course), fluff on fluff on fluff. NOTES: Follows a timeline where Hydra is still active after 2014 (CA:WS), Avengers didn't break up after Civil War, and takes place ~one year after Bucky's return from Wakanda.
