🖤 Marvel | Bucky Barnes x OC | Dark Recovery | Psychological Trauma | Slow Burn

"They broke her to build her. Now she's learning how to be human again with the man who delivered her to the ones who shattered her."

Nora was taken. Conditioned. Turned into something unrecognizable under Hydra's doctrine. They called her The Wraith.

She was never supposed to come back.

But when Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes uncover her identity on a mission, they don't capture her. They rescue her.

Brought to Wakanda to recover, Nora finds herself surrounded by people who care and by the man who once delivered her into Hydra's hands. Bucky doesn't know how to live with what he did. Nora doesn't know how to forgive him.

Together, they walk the razor's edge of memory, trust, and slow healing.

As she navigates moments that blur the line between tension and tenderness, and fragments of a life she never chose, Nora must decide. Is survival enough? Or is she strong enough to want something more?

With Sam pulling strings to give her a chance at freedom, and Bucky standing at her side with more guilt than answers, Nora must confront the past Hydra forced on her... and the future she might finally choose for herself.

Doll - Winter Soldier Fanfic by etherella

"Buck." You stopped him. He looked at you from across the room. He took his hand off the door knob and faced you still silent. He knew what you were thinking. "I can't." He began. "I need to be careful. I don't want to hu-" You groaned cutting him off. "You dont want to hurt me I get it. You won't hurt me Bucky. I know you won't. Ever. I trust you. You have to trust yourself. The only way you'll hurt me is if you leave. Or don't sleep with me." Your eyes widened,"In..in the bed I mean." You looked away and heard a small laugh. "As long as you behave." He teased walking over to you. "I will as long as you will." ----------- Penelope is an educated psychologist, when she crosses paths with Steve Rogers one night he has more than a few questions about mind control. He insists upon her help with a friend. Bucky Barnes. Bucky is a trained Hydra assassin. Hydra controlled his every move but now he's free and wants his mind back. He knows he needs help.

𝒇𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒔| 18+ {Bucky Barnes} by LadySifWritesChaos

{Formerly named Țuică} If you asked Dr. Aurora "Rori" Harris whether she was your average psychologist, she'd probably laugh and say, "Absolutely yes!" She worked long hours, carried her patients' burdens home with her most nights, and went above and beyond for anyone she cared about. That was just who she was. But the truth? Rori was far from average. She had a particular set of gifts-skills that even she didn't fully understand. Skills that would make her indispensable when Sam Wilson and Captain America came calling, asking her to track down Steve's childhood friend, James Buchanan Barnes... aka Bucky, the Winter Soldier. She can't say no. She wants to help. But as she dives deeper into the shadows of Bucky's fractured world, one question hangs over her: Will she keep her promise to Steve and Sam? Will she reveal Bucky's location, or will she find herself dangerously drawn to the broken man behind the legend?

Her White Wolf by Mich2992

As the universe began to recover from The Blip, it was an entirely new kind of journey for James Barnes. He was looking to find himself and find out who he had become. There was a lot going on in his mind, but it also held a glimmer of hope that with the assistance of Wakandan technology his mind could finally at long last, be freed. He wanted so little, simply to live peacefully, but he found so much more than that when he encountered the local veterinarian.

Welcome to My Broken Heart by SJSmith56

Bucky Barnes befriended retired school librarian Joyce Franklin in Crossing Off the List. On a stay at her home he saw a painted self-portrait of her daughter, Hope, when she was a teenager. Feeling a connection to it, he was disheartened when their initial meeting didn't go well. Although he still wants to get to know her, if she's just as brittle as their initial meeting, will Bucky try to engage with a woman angry with how her life is going? Can Bucky suspend his own tendencies to withdraw rather than try to connect with Hope? Can Hope Franklin learn not to lash out emotionally rather than allow herself to love again? Can Joyce be an effective bridge between the pair long enough for them to realize they may have something worth fighting for? Welcome to My Broken Heart is the intertwined story of a man trying to find his way in a world that often confuses him and a woman whose previous impulsive decisions have led to heartbreak and self-recrimination. As they navigate their relationship, it is exposed to influences that are out of their control, threatening their chance at happiness together. Will love be enough?

Holding On | Bucky Barnes by Steve_Writes

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.

Winter's Labours (Winter Soldier X OC) by MaxineWilliams3

"The hardest part about survival is not surviving. The hardest part is to find a reason to keep living once there is no longer any danger threatening your life. When you become your own predator.

The Soldier's Wraith ~ Book 1 by Barnes_Supremacy

James Buchanan Barnes had been through a lot in his life: Fighting in wars, brainwashed and forced to kill for decades, fighting to remember who he was... The hardest part of it all? Finding his place back in the world. Then, there was you. You had been someone else for so long, you didn't know how to step back into life. From being taken to the Red Room, brainwashed, and then taken and experimented on by HYDRA for decades, you and Barnes shared your fair share of trauma, both separately and together. You had grown close, although it hadn't happened overnight. You hated each other. There were multiple times over the years when you tried to kill each other and almost succeeded. Eventually, you both escaped HYDRA, and the most peaceful years were when you were on the run. Unfortunately, the world had other plans. You were thrown back into the fight, on a galactic scale this time. Bucky blipped, you didn't. After five dark years, the fight was won, but at a severe cost to both of you. *The main story takes place during TFATWS, but flips between the past and present story of Bucky and Y/N.* *This is being written as I get time. I will try to edit before posting.* *Marvel characters are not mine. There may be some original characters throughout the story. Some of the chapters contain dialogue directly from 'The Falcon and Winter Soldier' show.*
