After the Blip, Y/N, a skilled mechanic and ex-S.H.I.E.L.D. tech specialist, opens a quiet garage in a small town to escape the chaos of the world. One snowy evening, a stranger with a broken-down motorcycle and haunted eyes stumbles into the shop. It's Bucky Barnes, seeking both repairs and a chance to disappear. As Y/N helps him fix his bike-and maybe himself-the two slowly build a fragile bond. But when remnants of Hydra resurface, Bucky is forced to choose between running from his past or protecting the person who's given him a glimpse of peace.

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.Complete
Some Kind Of Normal
You came back from the Blip to a world that didn't wait for you. Your home is gone. Your job is filled. Your life... erased. Years pass in a daze as you drift through a city that no longer recognizes you. You try to rebuild, but nothing feels real. You're just surviving-until one night, in a dim bar on a quiet street, you hear a stranger's voice make a dry comment about dating apps and moon signs, and you laugh out loud without meaning to. That stranger turns his head. Blue eyes flick to yours. It's Bucky Barnes. You know who he is, of course. A ghost and a myth wrapped in a man. But to him? You're no one. Just a girl in a bar laughing too loud. What starts as a coincidence becomes a quiet pattern. You keep running into him-small moments, unexpected places. And somehow, that makes it easier.Complete
