Sometimes we don't get to choose what kind of monsters we become.
Rain. Blood. Regret. Rinse and repeat.
I was trained to be S.H.A.D.O.W.'s (Subversive Human Advancement Division for Organized Warfare) favorite monster. Silent, Deadly, and 100% Emotionally unavailable. But ever since I ghosted their little lab experiment support group, I've been doing my own thing: freelance missions, stylish murder, and collecting trauma like Pokémon cards.
Then... he showed up.
Bucky Barnes. Yes, that Bucky Barnes. The man, the myth, the metal-armed menace who's supposed to be reformed but looks at me like he's trying to remember something. Something important. Something dangerous.
This was supposed to be a simple mission. Infiltrate. Observe. Don't flirt with the ex-Winter Soldier.
Oops.
Now there's a body on the floor that wasn't mine, an entire team of NEW Avengers crashing through the walls, and a very real chance I'm either about to be arrested, killed, or emotionally compromised.
Again.
~
A slow-burn, Enemies-to-Lovers Bucky Barnes x OC story full of banter, blackout missions, morally gray decisions, and the occasional flirtatious headbutt!
I really hope you enjoy!

I Know | Congressman Bucky Barnes x Reader
Congressman Barnes x Reader This takes place leading up to and in the events of Thunderbolts. Heavily tied into canon events. Includes spoilers from Thunderbolts. SLOOOOOW BURN You're a late-20s congressional intern with big dreams and a long-standing admiration for the Avengers. You always wanted to help protect the world like they did and now, working on Capitol Hill, you're closer to that world than ever. Especially when a chance encounter puts you face-to-face with newly elected Congressman James Buchanan Barnes. Strong, independent, and absolutely not looking for a relationship, you're doing everything you can to ignore the growing tension between you and the man who was once a childhood crush. But working in close quarters makes it harder to ignore the way he looks at you... and even harder to figure out if he feels the same. This is a sloooow burn with plenty of emotional tension and a few smut scenes. Spicy chapter warning at the bottom of the description! Do not read all the way down if you do not want the spoiler. 64 Chapters plus the epilogue. Author's Note: This is my very first fanfic, and I'm so excited to finally share it!!

Broken Knows Broken (BUCKY BARNES X OC)
The life that J (Jules) Johnson has had is anything but ordinary. Fosterlife hasn't been kind to her due to her abilities and when her only friend Stanlee leaves for the military, she spends 8 years just existing in nothingness. Now that he's finally discharged, she's excited to get things back to the way they once were only to find out he's not the same. The use of her abilities is the only way she can think to try and get back the man she once knew, only for it to lead to her being recruited as an Avenger and meeting the most gorgeous blue eyed bombshell of a man she's ever laid her eyes on. But of course, he's a player, and she plays the game right along with him at first, until someone catches feelings. ----- Bucky's Three Personalities: 1) Original Bucky- The 'OB'. The real one, Mr. Nice Guy. Assuming it's what he was like before all the bad stuff, the gentleman, playful but in a respectable way. 2) Anger Management Bucky- Super critical, edgy with a stare of death. That stare, it makes me worry, like I need to test my drink for fear he poisoned me, or is going to commit arson. Bites your head off, chews you up and spits you out. Gives zero fucks. 3) Fucky Bucky- The seducer. Can't keep his hands to himself and eye-fucks me when he sees me. The one with all the inappropriate jokes, the womanizer constantly taking a number of random assortment of women to his bed. ____ "Do you know what would look even better on you than blue?" His voice is seductive and familiar, I'm obviously talking to Fucky Bucky. I raise my eyebrows waiting for the answer. "Me." I roll my eyes. "Do you ever stop? Do you have some dirty pick-up line book that you pull all these from? I swear if you say 'Do you have any Super Soldier Serum inside you? No? Do you want some?' I just might throw up in my mouth." This is a slow burn, full of sexual tension and banter, just enough to keep your pallet wet until the full payoff at the end. RATED #1 in BuckyBarnesSmut 4/24/22-5/8/22Complete
Supernova: When fire meets winter | Bucky Barnes
Enemies. Survivors. Something else entirely. She was supposed to be a ghost forgotten experiment of Hydra, buried and erased. Instead, she came back with fire in her veins, a vibranium chip in her neck, and the memory of the man who stares at her like she should mean something. Now she's part of a reformed Avengers unit under S.W.O.R.D., forced to work alongside the one person she can't stand: Bucky Barnes. The Winter Soldier. He's cold, controlled and doesn't remember her. She's furious, unstable, and dangerous to trust. And yet, every glance feels like a memory he can't grasp. Every fight between them burns too close. HQ is already placing bets on whether they'll kill each other or something else entirely. But when a lead surfaces that could unravel their pasts and expose the lies Hydra buried with them Mafer and Bucky must work together. Even if it means confronting the truth neither of them are ready for. Because sometimes fire remembers winter. And sometimes enemies burn the brightest together.

An Unconventional Trio
⚠️Under 18, DNI⚠️ After the flaming dumpster fire that was SHIELD's collapse and the whole "surprise, Hydra was here the whole damn time!" debacle, one former agent slipped through the cracks like a pissed-off ghost in a leather jacket. She vanished from the grid, reputation scorched, trust obliterated, and purpose? Shattered. Enter Tony Stark. Because of course it was Tony. He found her somewhere between a breakdown and a bar fight, took one look at the smudged eyeliner, the sarcasm-drenched trauma, and the "bite me" attitude-and said, "Yeah, I can work with that." He brought her in, tucked her away in the shadows of the compound, and trained her like a secret weapon no one saw coming. Four years of quiet sharpening. Four years of sweat, rage, Red Bull, and a whole lot of therapy avoidance. And when he finally deemed her ready? He unleashed her like a feral raccoon with a vengeance complex. Gone was the clean-cut SHIELD poster girl. In her place: chaos incarnate. Combat boots, chipped black nail polish, hair that looked like it had been in a fistfight with a Lisa Frank folder, and a mouth that could out-swear a sailor with road rage. The Avengers? They didn't know what to do with her. And yet. Two of the most emotionally constipated, chaos-flavored men on the roster found themselves utterly, stupidly hooked. Bucky Barnes tried to pretend he wasn't watching her-like she didn't short-circuit something in his brain every time she threw a knife with that smug little grin. But he noticed everything. Then there was Loki. The God of Trouble himself. She was unpredictable. Unrefined. Unapologetically alive. So now? It's a quiet war between two broody bastards who've never properly communicated a feeling in their lives, and the chaos gremlin woman who thinks emotional vulnerability is worse than waterboarding. There's blood. Banter. Probably some light property damage. Spoiler: it's not going well. But it's going loud.
The Winter Soldier and The Red Angel
Bucky's POV: Nat peeked, barely dodged another bullet. "I think that's The Red Angel," she muttered, sliding into position beside me. I glanced at her. Red Angel? "Didn't think she was real," Nat continued. "Thought she was just a myth. Supposedly trained in the Red Room. Or maybe Hydra got their hands on her first - no one really knows. There's talk she was an experiment. The kind that leaves a trail." She shifted again, moved to another position as the others kept the woman busy. I followed, covered her flank. Then Nat said the part that stuck with me: "Thing is... she should be old by now. But the way she moves? Doesn't look like any grandma I've ever seen." (...) Nat: "What the hell was that?" I didn't answer. Couldn't. I was staring into the smoke, my fists clenched. My breath shallow. "Someone I might've known," I finally said, voice low. "Someone they might've used me to create."

Pieces
"I just don't think I'll ever have the life I thought I'd have," "I thought I'd go off to war and come back a hero, settle down, have a few kids, you know, the simple life. And now... well, I think that ship has sailed." He has proven himself to be the ultimate weapon for S.H.E.I.L.D. A true soldier. Taking his orders and completing missions day in and day out. He's got what he always wanted: to be a hero. But at what cost? Bucky is content with his life. He's defeated his demons and is ready to start his new life. But some days, he can't help but feel like some pieces are missing. Ready to accept his fate, his whole world turns upside down when he finds a girl sitting on a pile of boxes in the stairwell of his apartment. *I do not own the rights to any characters affiliated with the MCU or Marvel.

cold hands, warm heart... (Bucky x Reader)
Bucky Barnes x reader As Tony Stark's daughter, you've spent your life surrounded by heroes, technology, and expectations you're not sure you'll ever meet. When Bucky Barnes joins the Avengers, you don't know what to make of the quiet, brooding soldier with a past as dark as the shadows he moves through. He's cold, distant, and carrying more ghosts than he lets on. But the more your paths cross-late-night conversations in the kitchen, stolen glances in the training room-you begin to see the man beneath the metal. And he sees you, not just as Stark's daughter, but as someone worth knowing. Between your father's overprotectiveness, Bucky's own demons, and the threats looming over the Avengers, any chance at friendship-let alone something more-won't come easy. But maybe, just maybe, some things are worth the fight...Complete
