A Bucky Barnes x Serena Rogers (OC) Story
Serena Rogers never expected a one-night stand to change her life - but it did.
She didn't know his name. He didn't know hers.
And neither of them knew they were more connected than they could ever imagine.
Three years later, Serena has built a quiet life as a single mom to her daughter, Ivory. But everything shatters - or maybe begins again - when she walks into Avengers Tower and sees him: the man from that night. Bucky Barnes.
Only now she knows who he is. And he's about to find out he's a father.
As secrets unravel and wounds resurface, Bucky and Serena are forced to confront their pasts - not just as strangers, but as people tethered by fate, love, and a child neither of them expected.
A story about second chances, found family, healing from abandonment, and learning to love again... even when the path there is anything but easy.
