Decades after being captured and experimented on by HYDRA during World War II, Josephine awakens in the modern world with abilities she barely understands and memories fragmented by decades of stasis. Once a top Allied spy, now a living conduit of raw, unstable energy, she struggles to control the surging power within her body.
There's one thing she's never forgotten, though. The Winter Soldier, a killing machine built by HYDRA, still active when she was put in stasis in 1977. A walking horror from her past and modern nightmares. And now he's here, living in the same building as her.
Jo learns to navigate a world she doesn't belong in. Amid accidental blackouts, sparking kitchens, and shadowed hallways, Jo's journey is one of mastery, trust, and reclaiming the power and life that was stolen from her.

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.

Holding On | Bucky Barnes
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.Complete

She doesn't remember. She can't. As much as she tries to, she can't grasp onto anything. Her father tells her that the memories will come, if she ever leaves her room. She usually just sits and stares at the wall, remembering the horrors of HYDRA. The only thing she remembers is being beaten, tortured, being forced into using her abilities to kill the innocent, and her name; Danielle Stark. (Disclaimer: I only own Danielle Stark and her storyline. Everything else is owned by Marvel Studios and Marvel Comics.)Complete
