Marvel AU/No Powers
Bucky Barnes x Reader
Second Person + Multiple POVs
Rating: Mature
She found him in the dark. She just didn't know it was him.
She has a good life, a career she loves, lifelong friends, and a husband who should be enough. But somewhere over the last two years, her marriage has gone painfully quiet.
Bucky Barnes has a good life too. A job he cares about. Friends he'd do anything for. A marriage that has lasted seventeen years. But loving someone and feeling alive beside them are not always the same thing.
Neither of them is looking for anything else.
At least, that's what they tell themselves.
It begins in an anonymous online book club. Late-night messages about novels become conversations about loneliness, marriage, regret, and all the things they can't say out loud to the people who know them best.
Six months later, they agree to meet.
One dive bar.
One September night.
Two copies of Dangerous Liaisons.
And then everything changes.
Illicit Affairs is a story about emotional infidelity before physical infidelity, about marriages slowly unraveling, and about two people crossing a line they fully understand the consequences of.
Nobody in this story is a villain.
Nobody escapes unhurt either.
This fic is told from multiple perspectives, the reader's (second person), Bucky's, and Natasha's. Each POV exists to give the story its full moral weight. Natasha's chapters in particular exist to make sure this story never becomes comfortable with itself.
