Rani Barnes, the daughter of Bucky Barnes, was raised in the shadows of Hydra-trained to hunt, obey, and survive. Now 19 and rescued from that life, she's thrown into a quiet existence she doesn't understand, living with a father still grieving the loss of his best friend and trying-failing-to be something like a dad.
Haunted by her past and hollowed by the silence of peacetime, Rani feels trapped in a luxurious house that feels more like a cage.
When a mysterious woman named Valentina Allegra de Fontaine approaches Rani on a rainy night, offering purpose, danger, and payment-everything Rani was born to crave-the temptation becomes impossible to resist. After one final argument with her father, she walks away, card in hand, and makes the call.
This is the story of a girl bred for war, trying to make sense of freedom, and a father desperate to save her before the shadows claim her again.

The Winter She Made
They were forged in war and fractured by the same hands that made them monsters. Katherine Zola was born with a name she never chose, the daughter of HYDRA's most notorious architect. A child genius, a living weapon, and the program's most effective ghost. Her mission logs were sealed in blood and buried in silence-until one day, she was given a name: Sergeant James Buchanan Barnes. She didn't know why HYDRA wanted him-not at first. Only that she was ordered to track, weaken, and retrieve him. That her mission began before his fall from the train in 1945. That she was the reason he ended up in enemy hands. And she did it. She followed orders. She delivered him. What she didn't expect was to care. What she didn't plan for was falling in love with the man she helped damn. Bucky Barnes thought he was just another casualty of HYDRA-another soldier stripped of self and turned into a weapon. But the truth was darker. His capture wasn't chance. It was chosen. He was targeted by a girl with smoke in her lungs, ghosts in her eyes, and a lie tucked in her smile. A girl who became everything to him, right before she disappeared. Decades later, they stand on opposite sides of the same war-both survivors of mind control, both drowning in guilt. And both still tethered to each other by a past neither can outrun. Because she was his mission long before he ever became hers. -Set during Captain America: The First Avenger, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, Thunderbolts -long book, buckle up for the ride. #1 in thewintersoldier 9.24.25 #1 in original character 9.23.25 #1 in natasharomanoff 12.28.25 #1 in avengersfanfiction 1.6.26 #2 in jamesbarnes 9.24.25 #3 in samwilson 10.9.25 #3 in marvel 12.30.25 #6 in wintersoldier 9.24.25Complete

Ashes Before Embers - Bucky Barnes
He was supposed to go to war. She was supposed to stay behind. Neither of them were supposed to burn. In 1943, Cassandra Hawthorne is a brilliant weapons engineer and scientist working quietly behind the scenes of the war effort. She's sharp, guarded, and far too busy saving the world to waste time on charming soldiers with crooked smiles. Until James Buchanan Barnes walks into her life - all soft smirks and sudden sincerity - and ruins everything. A slow, sweet kind of romance blooms between experiments and letters. But the war doesn't wait for anyone. When Bucky is deployed, the world begins to shift, and soon Cassandra finds herself caught in the same nightmare that stole him. What begins with a goodbye ends in experiments, betrayal, and a silence that lasts decades. After all - she built the arm that broke him. And somewhere, locked behind a Hydra door, her sister still waits.

She has no past-only shadows. He has no future-only guilt. When Valentina Allegra de Fontaine pulls her out of hiding, she isn't offered a choice. She's drafted. Placed like a blade among broken weapons: the Thunderbolts. Leading them is James Buchanan Barnes-former Winter Soldier, reluctant hero, a man with walls no one's ever broken through. Thrown into a team built on secrets and second chances, she's tasked with more than survival. She's meant to keep an eye on Barnes. Control him, if necessary. But what happens when the only thing she can control is her own downfall? A slow-burn descent into trust, betrayal, and a connection that should never have been possible.Complete
