Bree Stein, now Bree Barnes, isn't your average teenager. Born in 1929. Frozen in time. Programmed to kill.
They called her the Winter Widow-HYDRA's shadow assassin, brainwashed, enhanced, erased. Now she's eighteen, living at the Avengers compound with a metal arm, PTSD, and a Glock under her pillow. She's trying to be normal. Go to school. Make friends. Survive senior year without punching a wall...and possibly someone.
But when a class project forces her to confront her past, and an old enemy resurfaces, Bree is pulled back into a world she barely escaped-only this time, she's not alone.
With a sarcastic ex-red room spy and a chaotic archer for friends, and a grumpy ex-Winter Soldier for a dad, Bree is learning how to heal, one punch, playlist, and panic attack at a time.
Some scars don't fade. But neither does fire. And Bree's determined to burn HYDRA, once and for all.

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
True Form (Avengers x Reader)
"Fix your attitude." "Fix your eye!" Yup, that's y/n. She is a sixteen year old shapeshifter, captured by the Avengers and definitely not happy about being held in a cell. She was experimented on by HYDRA, escaped and ran directly into the next organization. Y/n is forced to stay with the Avengers, who are trying to get her to open up to them, however she has different plans and hides her feelings behind facades that shows every emotion but the real one. What happens when she comes into contact with a certain blonde, russian spy? Despite a rough start, maybe this bunch of childish heroes can show her what true friendship is, what true family is, maybe even what true love is... -- -- -- ❗This is my first book, so some things are unrealistic and don't make much sense and I really cringe when I look back at this. -I do not own any of the marvel characters, only y/n!- #1 - marvelxreader #1 - nickfury #1 - marvel #1 - captainamerica #1 - katebishop #1 - yelenabelova #1 - blackwidow #1 - natasharomanoff #1 - wandamaximoff #1 - yelenaxreaderComplete
Safe Haven | B. Barnes
(Post CW) Bucky Barnes never dared to dream that he could be loved again, especially after what he did for the last near century. Angeline Ramsey was painstakingly quiet and guarded for a girl her age. But that didn't stop her from dreaming of the perfect parents. A father that would love and cherish her, a mother that would brush her hair and sing to her. A father that would treat her as if she was his world's princess, and a mother that would tuck her in at night. However, having been through hell on earth in her short life, she has grown to fear both grown men and women in more ways than one. When Bucky sees the little girl for the first time, peering with curiosity and fear behind the wall of a safe house, something inside his heart stirs for the first time in nearly 75 years. What will happen in the story will be full of cute and emotional moments with intense twists and turns. This is the story of two broken souls and their ups and downs in life. -------------------------------- All characters here except for my own are owned by Marvel.

The Soldier of Summer: Book 1
He shoved his metal hand out of the cell and shook my flesh one. He made is message clear: If I did anything to double cross them, he'd kill me. And I don't doubt he'll try. ---- Hydra had become so desperate to get another Winter Soldier, that they resorted to stealing reproductive cells from the Red Room. In his time as the Winter Soldier, Bucky Barnes was given that mission. The cell he stole belonged to the famous Black Widow. This spawned Auriana the Soldier of Summer. She was 14 when the events of this story happened. I do not own any characters in the MCU but I own Auriana and this plot. #18 in marvel #1 in blackwidow 4/1/21, 11/10/21 #1 in spiderman 4/4/21Complete
