"Ugh!" Elora grunted, as she laid into the sandbag in front of her, the sheer frustration coming out in waves. There had always been something between them. Something electric that she thought was just in her mind.
"You know, I can provide you with my congressman headshot to tape onto that, if it would help." His gruff voice sounded from the doorway.

Agent 007 (A Steve Rogers x Reader Fic)
Currently being edited/rewritten. (Chapters with written numbers {e.g. One} have been edited, actual numbers are TBC.) "I have this feeling in my heart-" Steve started. YN's chuckle interrupted him, as she nodded her head, "And you feel like it might beat right out of your chest?" She asked, using her own hands to grab onto the ones still framing her face. "I have the same feeling," she whispered. (Content Warning: Details surrounding SA are discussed in this story.

An Unconventional Trio
⚠️Under 18, DNI⚠️ 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.
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. But when he unexpectedly crosses paths with you one day he can't help but be intrigued, feeling something he hasn't felt since he was a twenty-something year old man back in the 1940's. 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. Set in between the events of Thunderbolts and the post credits scene fourteen months later.Complete
Hardwired ⌖ B. Barnes
For five years, she was dust. She was nothing. And when she came back―when they 𝘢𝘭𝘭 came back―the world had moved on without her―and so had her title, her clearance, and the project she built from the ground up. Six months into the Department of Defense's grueling reintegration protocol and held back by endless red tape, 𝑫𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒂 takes every assignment in stride, determined to prove herself. So when her old friend Lemar Hoskins requests her for a mission, the chance to reclaim her position as director of her old department finally feels within reach. But when her trust in the new Captain America begins to fracture, she makes a choice: walk away from the D.O.D. and take a risk on Sam Wilson―and the man the world hasn't quite yet forgiven for his dark past. 𝑩𝒖𝒄𝒌𝒚 𝑩𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒔 doesn't trust easily. Neither does she. It's just how they're 𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒘𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒅. ═══════ ᴾᴬᴿᵀ ᴼᴺᴱ: 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙁𝘼𝙇𝘾𝙊𝙉 𝘼𝙉𝘿 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙒𝙄𝙉𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙎𝙊𝙇𝘿𝙄𝙀𝙍 ᴾᴬᴿᵀ ᵀᵂᴼ: 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙁𝘼𝙇𝘾𝙊𝙉 𝘼𝙉𝘿 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙒𝙄𝙉𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙎𝙊𝙇𝘿𝙄𝙀𝙍 𝘼𝙉𝘿 𝘽𝙀𝙔𝙊𝙉𝘿 ═══════ © savagesociety 2021-2025

The Winter Soldier and The Red Angel
Bucky's POV: Nat peeked, barely dodged another bullet. "I think that's The Red Angel," she muttered, sliding into position beside me. I glanced at her. Red Angel? "Didn't think she was real," Nat continued. "Thought she was just a myth. Supposedly trained in the Red Room. Or maybe Hydra got their hands on her first - no one really knows. There's talk she was an experiment. The kind that leaves a trail." She shifted again, moved to another position as the others kept the woman busy. I followed, covered her flank. Then Nat said the part that stuck with me: "Thing is... she should be old by now. But the way she moves? Doesn't look like any grandma I've ever seen." (...) Nat: "What the hell was that?" I didn't answer. Couldn't. I was staring into the smoke, my fists clenched. My breath shallow. "Someone I might've known," I finally said, voice low. "Someone they might've used me to create."

SUNFLOWER [bucky barnes ]
"It's for the greater good of humanity," they told her. "Do this, and we can restore freedom and order in the world. Can you do that for me, soldier?" Dahlia's hands trembled, fear and confusion warring with the ingrained instinct to obey. She gave a single, sharp nod. They smiled. Then came the restraints. "Oh, and your little friend?" one of them sneered. "He's gone." The last thing Dahlia remembered was the grief of losing someone she didn't even remember-before the world went white. - All Catherine Carter ever wanted was to help people. She became a nurse-steady hands, gentle heart-stitching up soldiers, holding the hands of the dying, smiling through exhaustion when one more patient got to go home. To Bucky Barnes, she was his Sunflower-steady and bright even in the darkest corners of war. He loved her like a lifeline, kissed her tears away, laughed at her terrible jokes, and held her until dawn. He promised he'd marry her when they made it home. But neither of them ever did. Catherine Carter died the day HYDRA found her. What crawled out of their experiments wasn't Catherine anymore-it was Dahlia, a weapon with a past she couldn't remember and a heart that wouldn't stop aching for something she couldn't name. Bucky never forgot her, not completely. No matter how many times HYDRA shattered and rewired him, somewhere in the fog there was always the ghost of a woman with sunflower eyes-someone who must have loved him once before it was ripped away again. Decades later, when the brainwashing fades and the world begins to heal, fate gives them one last chance to find each other again. But the past never stays buried-and love might not be enough to save them this time.
Whispers in the South Wing

Control (Avengers Fan Fiction)
"I am violent, bitter, and ugly! Inside and out!" She growled through clenched teeth at him. She didn't understand why he wouldn't turn and run. Everyone else would the second she raised her voice. Why didn't he do the same? "Oh, princessa." A soft, heartwarming smile crossed his lips and his blue eyes twinkled as he gazed down at her. "I think you're adorable when you're angry." ***DISCLAIMER*** I do not own Marvel or any of its characters. I just own the main character and a few other made up HYDRA agents.Complete
