James Buchanan Barnes is struggling to put his life together after the Blip. Free from HYDRA's control, he now has the freedom of choosing how he lives his life but he has no idea how. He's somehow managed to maintain moderate normalcy but his constant nightmares serve as a reminder that he could never be anything more than a killer. Before he can truly heal, he needs to deal with his lack of sleep, which proves difficult until a chance encounter intertwines his life with that of his neighbor across the hall.

Arabelle Sinclair. Tiny but with a big personality. Only standing at 5 feet flat, she's never the center of attention. But that's okay, as she doesn't really care for the spotlight unlike others. *cough cough* Yelena *cough* . She's stuck in a relationship with a man who she doesn't love, and yet doesn't have the courage to break up with him (as he's kinda a psycho). James Buchanan Barnes. Almost the complete opposite. Dark, moody, brooding, and the hottest living thing on Earth. Tall and handsome, a bulky wallet, and always in the spotlight. And even though he hates the spotlight, being the richest man in the country gives you that spotlight anyway. He's a secretive man who's not very trusting, and puts his everything into his work. On one special night, James and Arabelle meet. And the fate of their relationship depends on how they weave their way through each of their lives. Hopefully it isn't too much to split them apart. β οΈ TW: Abuse, Strong Language, S/A, Smut ;)Complete

Imagine, "Friends with Benefits" meet Marvel. James Buchanan Barnes visits the past and find something he'll like to hold tightly around. ___________ authors note: I love plot, teasing and smut's so I will try to combine all of them in this story. THIS IS A DARK STORY. THE CHARACTERS ARE NOT NECESSARILY AT ALL NICE PEOPLE - BE AWARE. Friendly reminder like always - English isn't my first language and I'm dyslexic, so please be kind. Comments keep me motivated <3 [ across various marvel media ] UPDATE 09/03/2025: I currently began re-uploading the old chapters using A.I to scan through spelling mistakes.Complete

The Soldier's Wraith ~ Book 1
James Buchanan Barnes had been through a lot in his life: Fighting in wars, brainwashed and forced to kill for decades, fighting to remember who he was... The hardest part of it all? Finding his place back in the world. Then, there was you. You had been someone else for so long, you didn't know how to step back into life. From being taken to the Red Room, brainwashed, and then taken and experimented on by HYDRA for decades, you and Barnes shared your fair share of trauma, both separately and together. You had grown close, although it hadn't happened overnight. You hated each other. There were multiple times over the years when you tried to kill each other and almost succeeded. Eventually, you both escaped HYDRA, and the most peaceful years were when you were on the run. Unfortunately, the world had other plans. You were thrown back into the fight, on a galactic scale this time. Bucky blipped, you didn't. After five dark years, the fight was won, but at a severe cost to both of you. *The main story takes place during TFATWS, but flips between the past and present story of Bucky and Y/N.* *This is being written as I get time. I will try to edit before posting.* *Marvel characters are not mine. There may be some original characters throughout the story. Some of the chapters contain dialogue directly from 'The Falcon and Winter Soldier' show.*Complete
