buckybarnes shadow

When Y/N stumbles into a city scarred by secrets and shadows, the last person they expect to meet is him-quiet, guarded, and haunted. His metal arm catches the light like a weapon forged from pain, and his eyes carry the weight of battles long past. He is all edges and silence, a man built from scars and steel.

At first, he keeps his distance. He doesn't want to let anyone in, least of all someone who sees through the cracks in his armor. But Y/N's stubborn warmth refuses to fade, even when met with his cold indifference. Each fleeting glance, each conversation that lingers too long, chips away at the walls he's spent years building.

Theirs is not a love that comes quickly-it simmers, slow and uncertain, born in stolen moments and quiet nights when words mean more than touch. As Y/N begins to uncover the truths he's buried, they're forced to confront their own shadows. Together, they must decide whether love is strong enough to survive the weight of steel and the ghosts of the past.

A story of patience, healing, and a love forged in silence-Shadows of Steel is a slow-burn romance that proves even the coldest hearts can be set alight.All Rights Reserved

At Your Pace by User9671359

Everyone sees it. The glances, the touches, the connection. Bucky Barnes flirts like it's second nature, especially with Y/N-his best friend, his anchor, and the only person who makes him feel at home. She loves him too. Everyone knows it. He knows it. She knows it. But love isn't easy for her. Not after what it's done to her. After all the lies, the manipulation, and the trauma, she's not just scared-she's haunted. When Bucky finally confesses, it shatters the fragile comfort they've built. She runs. He breaks. And the team is caught between two hearts trying to find their way back to each other. This isn't a story of sudden passion. It's about learning how to love without fear. About soft hands, whispered reassurances, and trying-slowly, carefully, honestly. Because sometimes, love isn't loud. Sometimes, love is patient.

Brooklyn before the bombs by ynstark407

You were just a little girl when he left for the war. Now, you're the woman who'll undo him. 1943. James Buchanan Barnes, the guy from Brooklyn, went off to fight in a war that would change everything. You were only eight-his little shadow on the building steps, the one he swore to protect. But war doesn't just break bones. It breaks time. Now, in a post-blip world, Bucky receives a forgotten file marked with his sister's name. It leads him to a cryogenic facility sealed decades ago... and to you. You're not the girl with scraped knees and shy smiles anymore. You're twenty-four, brilliant, beautiful-and wide awake in a world that moved on without you. He helped shape the woman you became. And now, he can't stop wanting you. A slow-burn, emotionally loaded, high-tension romance set after The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. With flashbacks, guilt, longing, and heat. A lot of it. Brooklyn Before the Bombs is for those who love the ache before the kiss... and the kiss that ruins you. Author's Note: Hey! English is not my first language, so please be kind with any mistakes-I'm doing my best and learning as I go This story is really close to my heart. I love emotional, tension-filled slow burns with a lot of heat, and Brooklyn Before the Bombs is exactly that. I'll try to update daily, so feel free to comment, vote, and scream with me!

Also the timeline may be a little weird, because I didn't want to worry about it too much, so I hope it doesn't bother anyone! :) I hope you like the fanfiction! I also made a playlist for the story as every chapter is inspired by a different song, so if you want to use it to enhance the reading experience, I recommend listening to it! :) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/67hvJLdwU8lUBIS24wmWJN?si=f72dbf61cf384a02

If Only by endless-writings

"No, listen to me. Before this, before us, I was mindful of not overstepping any boundaries, even if it killed me to keep my distance. Now that you're mine, that boundary shit goes away for me. If you have a problem, it's my problem. Someone's treatin' you like shit, then they can answer to me. I'm not waiting around and watching you get walked on because I feel like it isn't my place, it is my place now," he finished, and I couldn't help the sad smile that formed on my face. "You don't have to do that though...you don't need to put that kind of burden on your shoulders," I mumbled, the idea of someone taking care of me like that one that I still wasn't accustomed to. He reached forward to grab my chin, the same way he always seemed to when he was telling me something important. I felt my breath hitch as he bent down to look me square in the eyes. "Punishing someone who decides they want to fuck with you isn't an obligation. I can promise you, I'll enjoy every second of it," he assured, though the sentiment wasn't exactly reassuring. ***** Sammy had wanted to leave behind her small town in Kentucky for a place where nobody would know her or her tragic past.

But also, Tyson Crawford. The boy she fell for sophomore year of college...now the dangerous man she can't get away from. As the dark secrets of her life become harder and harder to hide from her friends, dark secrets of their own begin to emerge. And now that Greyson Shawnel is coming back to town - a man she's only ever heard of in her friends' stories - Sammy's entire world is catching on fire. Because Greyson can see through the cracks of her lies, and he doesn't intend to let it go on any longer. Even if there's a larger danger looming on the horizon, one that threatens them all...

Collateral Damage by User9671359

Enemies. Teammates. Almost-lovers. Enemies again. Y/N and Bucky Barnes were never supposed to get along-let alone fall for each other. She's fire, he's ice. She talks back, he stares too long. Their tension is legendary. Their fights? Loud. Their silence? Louder. Now they're caught in a tug-of-war between what's safe and what's undeniable. And the line between hate and want? It's burning. This is not your typical love story. It's war. It's surrender. It's them. Enemies to lovers. Slow-burn. Angst. Smut. Softness. Healing. Chaos. Love.

Partners In Shadows - Shadowblade by Aimee2116

In a city reduced to fire and ruin, betrayal has left Shadowblade-a deadly operative with a past shrouded in secrets-fighting alone. Her mission: break into the Novatek vault, where the world's most dangerous organization hides its darkest weapons and the names of those who wield them. But survival becomes even more complicated when she crosses paths with a mysterious masked soldier: scarred, armored, and carrying a metal arm and a past he refuses to reveal. He should be her enemy. He might be her salvation. Bound by necessity, the two form a reluctant partnership, their every step laced with distrust, smoldering attraction, and the constant threat of betrayal. As they battle mercenaries, drones, and the ghosts of their own histories, they uncover a conspiracy that stretches deeper than either imagined. Enemies by nature. Partners by choice. And maybe, against all odds, something more. An action-thriller with searing romance, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers tension, and the high stakes of a world balanced on the edge of war. Inspired by Marvel - Bucky Barnes This is my first book I've wrote any comments would be greatly appreciated! Like and follow for more chapters‼️🚨

venom in his eyes by anastasia_ss_19

Y/N never expected her 17th birthday to end with twin moons in the sky and blood on her hands. One moment, she was a chaotic, curious student with a taste for fantasy. The next, she was falling-through mirrors, through time, through a world not her own. Now trapped in a kingdom of masked nobles, ancient magic, and ruthless politics, Y/N quickly finds herself entangled in court life... and even more dangerously, in the rivalry between a golden hero and a cold, merciless villain. The hero becomes her protector. The villain becomes her shadow. He watches her from mirrors. Meets her under moonlight. And leaves whispers on her skin like venom.
