I Know | Congressman Bucky Barnes x Reader
Congressman Barnes x Reader This takes place leading up to and in the events of Thunderbolts. Heavily tied into canon events. Includes spoilers from Thunderbolts. SLOOOOOW BURN You're a late-20s congressional intern with big dreams and a long-standing admiration for the Avengers.

SHADOWBORNE | THUNDERBOLTS | ROBERT REYNOLDS
Rani Barnes, the daughter of Bucky Barnes, was raised in the shadows of Hydra-trained to hunt, obey, and survive. Now 19 and rescued from that life, she's thrown into a quiet existence she doesn't understand, living with a father still grieving the loss of his best friend and trying-failing-to be something like a dad. Haunted by her past and hollowed by the silence of peacetime, Rani feels trapped in a luxurious house that feels more like a cage. When a mysterious woman named Valentina Allegra de Fontaine approaches Rani on a rainy night, offering purpose, danger, and payment-everything Rani was born to crave-the temptation becomes impossible to resist. After one final argument with her father, she walks away, card in hand, and makes the call. This is the story of a girl bred for war, trying to make sense of freedom, and a father desperate to save her before the shadows claim her again. Thunderbolts* spoilers. A Bob x Rani au

My Thunderbolt
"It wasn't what I had planned on happening, nor did I really want it at all. It just kind of happened. I wanted to leave this kind of life behind, thought that I finally had with becoming a congressman and was going to be able to fight for good in a different kind of way; all I've done my whole life is fight and I'm tired of it. Yet here we are." He pauses. "I'm okay though. I've put in a lot of work over the last few years and I'm proud to say that. I'm good now, not perfect, probably won't ever be, but I'm good," he says quietly. As Bucky Barnes adapts to his new life as a New Avenger, the last thing he has on his mind is finding a girlfriend.

As he gets to know you he finds solace in the calm you bring to his life in amongst all the chaos and cannot stop himself from falling for you, nor you for him, as scary as it may seem at times.
