A Marvel Cinematic Universe FanFiction

While the Winter Soldier was a ghost story, Nadine Ryker is a ghost. She's The Ghost. Her past is a mystery, her identity even more so.

Few knew her as Nadya Ivanovna Rykova, the lost recruit of the Red Room, never spoken of after her disappearance. But she got along just fine, hiding away with her secret life, re-emerging only to take contracts that few others are willing to take.

To hunt other Assassins.

But when she's contracted to take out Black Widow? Her long ago 'little sister'? 

Her life and her secrets all begin to unravel.

***

Past Bucky/OC, eventual Steve/OC and Pietro/OC

This story is effectively split into two parts, with Part I focusing on themes of the price of secrets, family, self-acceptance and finding somewhere to belong, with the Steve/OC romantic sub-plot beginning in earnest in Part II.

Part I starts just before Avengers: Age of Ultron and Part II starts shortly after AoU ends and will go through to just beyond Captain America Civil War.

Warning!! It will be a *SLOW BURN*

Companion Story to "Haven" and though highly recommended, it's not necessary to have read it to enjoy this one.

epiphany. (Bucky Barnes x Reader) by gingerthestormwitch

Part One of the "No Tricks" Trilogy. Sergeant James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes AKA The Winter Soldier doesn't remember much of his past. You are a former SHIELD intelligence analyst with a troubled past who seeks to help him uncover it. What you don't expect is to fall in love along the way. (Bucky Barnes x Reader). Setting: After CA:TWS until/during/after CA:CW - 2014 - 2016. NOTE: As the events of this book take place over two years, there will be multiple time skips/jumps in order for the story to progress without getting boring or repetitive. Just a heads up if that's not your jam. My OC belongs to me, anything associated with Marvel doesn't; I just use them as my playthings. NOTE: This story is for people 18+. There are mature themes explored in this story including but not limited to: suicide, violence, trauma, and graphic sex. There are warnings above each chapter, but just forewarning you. If you are under 18+, I'd suggest you find something else to read: 1) I don't want to corrupt you. 2) I don't need angry parents/guardians coming for me. But ultimately I can't stop you if you do decide to read this story.

Fighting for You 🔞 by pmjc88

Bucky Barnes starts to remember his life before he became the Winter Soldier. After the events of Washington, he had wanted to run away and hide. He knew people would come looking for him, especially Hydra and the Avengers. Hidden away in a remote town, on the outskirts of Maine, Bucky tries to live a simple life without drawing attention to himself. Little does he know, he had been followed. ***** Alexandria (Lexi) Adams, was one of the best shadow agents of SHIELD. She was one that Fury trusted with everything, including her judgement. Fury knew that having the Winter Soldier on their side, would be beneficial, not to mention, it would stop Rogers from turning down missions he was needed on. Lexi follows Barnes from a distance, helping to set him up with a home and job, without him knowing it was her. She had moved in to the apartment across from him, playing the friendly neighbour, which was a feat in itself. Lexi was never considered a friendly type of person. It was her mission, to help keep him safe, recover his past, and obtain any Hydra information. She makes sure to bump into him, while shopping for groceries, introducing herself, but she finds he's very closed off and guarded. Can she get through to him, or will he up and run again? When Hydra operatives come crashing through their complex, Lexi must make the choice, to stand and fight, or run. Will the two work together? Will Bucky come to trust his neighbour, or will he run? ****** ⚠️Trigger Warning ⚠️ Mature scenes, fighting, swearing, torture/experimentation, depression. I do not own any rights ro Marvel, this is just a fanfic. 😊

We'll Fight Together (Romanogers / Steve X Natasha) by StarfishOverlord

"Are you saying you're on my team now, Romanoff?" "What makes you think I left, Rogers?" Steve Rogers tried to isolated himself from the rest of the Avengers and the world after what he did to Tony Stark, his friend and teammate. However, after he drops Bucky off in Wakanda where he'll be safe, Steve feels more alone than ever. Natasha Romanoff is on her own. Bruce Banner is still missing, Thor is off who-knows-where doing who-knows-what, and the Avengers are scattered. Nevertheless, she's perfectly okay with being alone. She always has been. Knowing that Steve is alone, however? It worries her. And when HYDRA is involved, being alone may not be an option. --------------------------------------------------------------------- This fanfiction takes place after Civil War and before Infinity War. I am WELL aware that Avengers Endgame is probably going to invalidate every word that I write here, but whatever. I just wanted to write this. DISCLAIMER: All of these characters, despite a couple background, belong to Marvel. The story and events that take place, however, are all of my own design. I also changed a few characters (who haven't been introduced to the MCU yet) so that they'd fit the story. Hey, if Marvel Studios can introduce Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver and not have Magneto be their father, then I can have a little creative freedom too, lol. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the story.

Lost Between Worlds by pmjc88

When Thaddeus Ross tosses the accords onto the table, telling the team exactly what their choices were, little did he know, that there was a third option. She had waltzed in, and literally set the accords on fire, with her own terms. No one on the team knew who she was, but it was clear, that Ross did. She had him out of there faster than he could take a breath. Setting down rules with the team, she made it clear as to why she was there. Could she really turn the team around within three months, prove to the world that they didn't need to be controlled? Or would she crash and burn, once they find out who she really is? Secrets, honest truths, plenty of sarcasm, and zero fucks to give... She was a force to be reckoned with. She holds their futures in her hands, and she doesn't want to let them go... ***** No one knew who the mystery woman is, but could they trust her, or will everything fall apart? No records, no details, no name other than 'BB'. Strong-willed and determined to bring order to the heroes, not everyone is as easily swayed by the green-eyed beauty. Can egos be put aside? Can they finally work as a unit and trust each other? Can dark secrets be what breaks them apart, or make them stronger? ⚠️Mature scenes, swearing, abuse, torture⚠️ I DO NOT OWN RIGHTS TO MARVEL THIS IS JUST A FANFIC... Coming August 15th

Unspoken by pmjc88

When new intel comes through about a Hydra weapon, the avengers split into two teams, one checking out a new base, while the other scours an old one. It's no coincidence that the intel comes through, and they find files about experiments done to one person. 'winter 2.0' the team calls her, but to Bucky, the fear sinks in as memories resurface about one soldier in particular, Ace. Stronger, deadlier and she made the winter soldier in him afraid. The work together to find out all they can, not realising that they are being watched by the very soldier herself. After an attack on the compound, which leaves quite a few of the team shaken, one avengr in particular is intrigued by the univited guest now residing in the holding cells. Who is the masked assailant, and why is it, she listened to him? **** The soldier begins to remember her past, fighting against all the Hydra conditioning, to remember who she was. Why does one of the men stand out? Who is he, and why does she have an overwhelming need to protect him? She knows Hydra will stop at nothing to get their soldiers back, but will she submit to Hydra or fight for right to live free? With lives on the line, sacrifices will be made, but who will live and who will die? ⚠️ Trigger warning ⚠️ Will contain swearing, adult themes, torture, abuse, smut, violence and depression. I DO NOT OWN ANY RIGHTS TO MARVEL, THIS IS JUST A FANFIC MADE UP. Does have some of the MCU storielines, but not in order.

Yet the past doesn't want to stay hidden and haunts Natasha every time she looks into her daughter's eyes and also occasionally shoots her. (the past, not the daughter) One breakdown later, Natasha decides to hunt the past back and things snowball from there through reunions, long-awaited confessions, fights with demons of the past, and some well deserved peace and quiet, ocasionally interrupted by aliens and temporary deaths. ______________________ crossposted on ao3 started: november 18th 2022 first published: 11th august 2023 finished: november 22nd 2023 (main plot) #297 in marvel - february 23rd 2025 #10 in oc - july 17th 2024 #2 in marvelcinematicuniverse - august 2nd 2024 #2 in winterwidow - february 23rd 2025 #1 in natasharomanoff - march 22nd 2025

A Call to Action (Avengers Fan Fiction #1) | REWRITING by TAngel96

Everything changes in the blink of an eye. One minute I'm having the time of my life with a new family, and the next, I am six feet deep hollow of emotion with a huge amount of guilt on my shoulders. How could this happen? How could so many lives depend on us only for us to let them down? Stitches, broken bones, shattered hearts, God, the Avengers were torn. And to make it worse, the government decides to step in with a different agenda. Lilly Parker reunites with her cousin, Peter Parker, and tries to make the world a better place. Meanwhile, two villains team up and make a plan to conquer the world. But, every plan has its faults. With heartache, fights, and romance in the bloom, the Avengers have to work together to stop the impending war or watch society crumble into chaos. Book 1 of 3 *Set after the fall of SHIELD in Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier. Trust doesn't come easy, so some of the characterization is based on lack of trust at first. *I do not own any of the characters except for the main one. The plot is my own work and I'm proud to own that. Please enjoy and feel free to leave as many comments as you wish! *Cover by the amazing @-verdant-!
