On the outside, Claire Clarke is just like every other seventeen year old orphan. On the inside? Not so much. What orphan can create poison with a thought or paralyze someone with a clench of their fist? What orphan can control the powers of law and chaos using an ancient African stone?

When Claire finds herself sucked into a war between Earth's mightiest heroes, she never expects to meet her idols. She never expects to fall in love with one of them after saving his life, either. But life is full of the unexpected, and she's ready to take it on.

She's ready to bring down the Sokovia Accords, and she'll do whatever it takes.

NOTE: Bucky is biologically 25 in this, not 29.

"A gift." One guard says to someone else in the room as he leaves. I groan in pain and scrunch myself into a ball, squeezing my eyes shut. Seconds later I hear shuffling and then someone is beside me. "Y/N?" Asks a voice. No- Bucky's voice. My whole body relaxes and I let out a soft breath. He's ok. ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ Staying together has always been the most important thing to Y/N Rogers. After the death of her mother left her an orphaned 15-year-old, her friendship with her older brother Steve and best friend Bucky mattered more than ever. She latched onto them, finding some bittersweet solace in their closeness. In turn, they finished raising her. The three were inseparable. Even now, six years later, nothing has changed. So when Bucky and Steve both leave to fight in the war the last thing she's going to do is stay in Brooklyn. Nothing's too far if it keeps their trio together. Not leaving everything she knows behind, not shoving down feelings she's refused to acknowledge for years, not even risking her life time and time again. It's the kind of commitment fueled by an infinite amount of love, but guaranteed to end in disaster, every single time.

Broken Knows Broken (BUCKY BARNES X OC) by CharminglyHumble
25 parts Complete Mature
The life that J (Jules) Johnson has had is anything but ordinary. Fosterlife hasn't been kind to her due to her abilities and when her only friend Stanlee leaves for the military, she spends 8 years just existing in nothingness. Now that he's finally discharged, she's excited to get things back to the way they once were only to find out he's not the same. The use of her abilities is the only way she can think to try and get back the man she once knew, only for it to lead to her being recruited as an Avenger and meeting the most gorgeous blue eyed bombshell of a man she's ever laid her eyes on. But of course, he's a player, and she plays the game right along with him at first, until someone catches feelings. ----- Bucky's Three Personalities: 1) Original Bucky- The 'OB'. The real one, Mr. Nice Guy. Assuming it's what he was like before all the bad stuff, the gentleman, playful but in a respectable way. 2) Anger Management Bucky- Super critical, edgy with a stare of death. That stare, it makes me worry, like I need to test my drink for fear he poisoned me, or is going to commit arson. Bites your head off, chews you up and spits you out. Gives zero fucks. 3) Fucky Bucky- The seducer. Can't keep his hands to himself and eye-fucks me when he sees me. The one with all the inappropriate jokes, the womanizer constantly taking a number of random assortment of women to his bed. ____ "Do you know what would look even better on you than blue?" His voice is seductive and familiar, I'm obviously talking to Fucky Bucky. I raise my eyebrows waiting for the answer. "Me." I roll my eyes. "Do you ever stop? Do you have some dirty pick-up line book that you pull all these from? I swear if you say 'Do you have any Super Soldier Serum inside you? No? Do you want some?' I just might throw up in my mouth." This is a slow burn, full of sexual tension and banter, just enough to keep your pallet wet until the full payoff at the end. RATED #1 in BuckyBarnesSmut 4/24/22-5/8/22

Your war is over." I loop my fingers around his, making one small connection as the whole world falls apart around us. Bucky takes my white Lady Liberty helmet off my head, allowing my messy braided hair to fall out. With a small smile, he brushes my dark bangs from my eyes. I close my eyes and lean into his hand. Whatever happens after this, we've found each other again. If that's the only good thing that survives today, I'm okay with that. .•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.

Child of Hydra by Remington0001

The sterile white walls of the Hydra facility loomed over her, cold and unforgiving, much like the organization itself. She had known no other life-no sunny days in the park or laughter with friends-only the relentless training and the sharp, commanding voice of the Winter Soldier, Bucky Barnes. At eighteen years old, she was a product of their twisted experiments, molded into one of Hydra's most valuable assets. Her codename, "Viper," was whispered among the agents and scientists with a mix of fear and admiration. Viper's childhood was steeped in shadow and silence. As a child, she was often the subject of experiments, her genetic makeup altered to enhance her agility, strength, and combat skills. The scientists viewed her as a weapon, a means to an end, but Bucky saw her as something more. He had been her trainer, her protector, and, in a way, her father. With every lesson, every sparring match, he had instilled in her not just skills, but values-lessons of loyalty, resilience, and the importance of family, albeit a family forged in the fires of conflict. Their bond was complex. Bucky, with his haunted past and unyielding loyalty, had taken it upon himself to shield her from the darker aspects of Hydra. Despite the pain he had endured, he was fiercely protective of Viper, always ensuring she stayed out of the line of fire. He often spoke to her in Russian, his voice low and reassuring, a language that felt as familiar as the training routines he enforced.
