Now they were as strangers; worse than strangers, for they could never become acquainted.* Bennett Mattey first saw him seven years ago in Romania when she lived abroad. The frowning man in a cap always stood out to her when she saw him every Tuesday. Once he disappeared, she all-but-forgot about him. 
But when she sees him in Brooklynn by chance, she begins to question who the mysterious, gloved man is. It's especially hard when it seems her roommate also has a thing for him and he doesn't seem to remember her the way she remembers him. 

Bucky Barnes x OC. Pre/during Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

A modern comedic spin on Jane Austen's Persuasion as well as it being a Bucky Barnes fanfiction. I wanted to see what would happen when there is just a normal person in his life, and what they would observe as Bucky is healing. 

*Quote from Jane Austen's Persuasion.

"You died," he said, eyes locked on the glowing Stark screen. "Fifteen minutes. Flatlined. And then you came back." Avery stood frozen across the room, fingers curled around the edge of the lab table. "Peter-" "You lied to me." She flinched. Not at the words-but the hurt in them. His brown eyes, usually soft, lit with fire now. "I didn't lie. I just didn't tell you-" "Oh, right," he snapped, arms thrown wide. "You just forgot to mention you died in one of the biggest alien invasions ever? And then came back with powers?" She took a breath, but it caught in her chest. "I was scared." "I was there, Avery. I watched people die. And you-" he broke off, pacing like he couldn't stand still. "You came back from the dead and didn't think maybe I deserved to know that?" "You wouldn't have looked at me the same," she said, and her voice cracked. "You would've treated me like a science project. Like everyone else does." His face twisted. "I looked at you like you were the smartest, funniest, most incredible girl I'd ever met." She stepped closer. "Peter, please-" He shook his head. "You're just like the rest of them," he said, voice low. "You hide everything until it explodes. You want to be normal so bad you're willing to lie to everyone who gives a damn about you." She looked at him like he was already gone. And maybe he was. "I told you about Uncle Ben," he whispered. "You're the only person I ever told that story to. And this whole time, you were sitting on a secret that big?"
