Across The Hall • Bucky Barnes
13 parts Complete MatureBucky Barnes never expected his life to change on a night like this, a fight in a dark stairwell, a woman's terrified eyes, and the sudden, undeniable need to protect her. Mya Rose wasn't supposed to mean anything to him. She was just the neighbor he saw in passing, quiet, kind, and far too gentle for the shadows that followed him.
But when her abusive ex shows up, everything shifts. Bucky steps in without hesitation... and one violent moment binds them together in ways neither could have predicted.
Haunted by his past and convinced he doesn't deserve peace, Bucky tries to keep his distance. But Mya, with her soft voice, stubborn strength, and the way she sees light where he only sees darkness, begins to break through his walls.
And when danger circles back for her, he realizes one thing with brutal clarity:
He'll burn the world down before he lets anyone touch what's his.
