Some people carry their past like a shadow, always behind them, silent but heavy. Others carry nothing, because life has never offered them the chance to hold on to anything. They met somewhere in between the lines of hatred-between memory and survival, between silence and the desperate sound of a heartbeat that still hadn't learned how to hope.
Bucky barnes was a man learning to be whole again, piece by piece, scar by scar. His past wasn't something he could forget; it clung to him in the way he spoke, the way he looked over his shoulder when the world got too quiet. But he was trying-trying to be something more than the weapon he once was.
Athena wasn't broken. She wasn't healing. She simply was. A still point in a world that never stopped spinning. Existing wasn't a luxury; it was her rebellion. Every breath she took was a defiance of everything that tried to erase her.
They didn't find love. It found them-in the quiet moments between prolonged therapy sessions, in the glances that said more than words could. In the way he never asked her to change, and the way she never flinched at the things he couldn't say.
They weren't perfect. They weren't whole. But they were real. And sometimes, in a world that has taken too much from too many, real is the bravest thing two people can be.

The Soldier's Wraith ~ Book 1
*MAINTENANCE HAPPENING. Mostly grammar, sentence structure and flow. Nothing crucial is changing in the storyline* 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 Reader.* *This is being written as I get time.

An Unconventional Trio
β οΈUnder 18, DNIβ οΈ 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.
Crave
The Asset. Makes it sound like there was only one, doesn't it? One assassin, one soldier, one life stolen and taken over to be used as a tool for evil minds. There was never only one. Hydra's bloodstained hands, people called them. And once one's hands have been bathed in blood so many times, it's near impossible to look at the skin and not see red. Yet, when Hydra has been pushed out into the open by the Avengers there's the slightest flicker of hope for the asset left behind. You see, I never had a Steve Rogers. No one is looking for me. The only person I've ever had is the one I was trapped with, the one that's now free. The one who, if he finds me, I will surely destroy. I DON'T OWN THE AVENGERS OR MARVEL, ONLY THE CHARACTERS AND SITUATIONS I CREATE.Complete
