Emma Sullivan was never a Romanoff - but she was raised like one. Plucked from the remnants of a broken family, trained in the shadows of the Red Room, and sculpted by secrets no child should ever carry. After the fall of the Avengers and the death of her sister, Natasha, Emma is left in a fractured world with too many ghosts and too few answers.
When Valentina Allegra de Fontaine offers Emma a position inside a new covert operation under government oversight, it seems like a chance to finally outrun her grief - or bury it under bureaucracy. But not all jobs are what they seem, and not all allies wear their masks on the outside. Haunted by the silence of her sister Yelena and the sudden reappearance of an old enemy turned uneasy ally, Bucky Barnes, Emma finds herself caught in a web of power, loyalty, and lies.
Now, with whispers of illegal testing, missing operatives, and hidden agendas buried beneath polite smiles and state dinners, Emma must decide where she stands - and how far she's willing to go to uncover the truth.

One Final Mission| Bucky Barnes (3)
"Where are you going with this?" "You know where I'm going with this," Jessica said. "She thinks the most dangerous people are the ones who lie to themselves about who they are the longest." "Absolutely not," Bucky snapped, stepping forward, his hands bracing the counter like it was the only thing grounding him. "Jess, are you insane? You will lose everything you've built, everything you fought and survived to become. You really want to give her that satisfaction?" Jessica moved around the island, calm but resolute, standing in front of him now. "If we can prove she's assembled a team of enhanced individuals... if we find them? That's all the evidence we need to bury her. No trials. No backroom politics. Just facts." Bucky let out a low sigh, scrubbing a hand down his face. "So what, you're just going to stroll into her trap and hope it leads somewhere?" "Val wants me on her team?" Jessica leaned in slightly, eyes steady. "Then that's exactly what I'll give her." A smirk ghosted across her lips. "And then we tear her empire down from the inside." *** [Book 3] Prequel: The First Mission Book 1: One Last Mission Book 2: One More Mission Book 3: One Final Mission Bucky Barnes x Jessica Rogers (Fem!OC) Based on the events of Thunderbolts* Started: 07.05.25 Completed: 04.06.25 *** Content Warning: This book contains sexual content, violence, death, and other mature themes.

The Thunderbolts: Live and Chaotic
The Thunderbolts are known for destruction, dysfunction, and public disapproval. So naturally, someone at HQ thought the best way to improve their image was a live-streamed reality show. Now trapped in a luxury compound with cameras in every corner, the world's most volatile antiheroes must endure team-building exercises, humiliating challenges, forced bonding time-and each other. New recruit Deliah Smith-deadpan, telekinetic, and so very over it-just wants to keep her head down and not commit a felony on national television. But between Yelena's gleeful chaos, Bob's accidental sex appeal, John's relentless rebranding attempts, and Bucky Barnes refusing to participate unless bribed with coffee, that might be asking too much. Confessionals will be brutal. Alliances will shift. And no one-not even the producers-is ready for how live and chaotic this is about to get.Complete
