    Summary

    I’ve survived the Red Room, the fall of the Widow program, and being dragged halfway across the world by Natasha Romanoff to rehabilitate. Now I’m stuck in a compound full of superheroes who keep smiling at me like I’m a skittish cat. Except Sam but he's more sass than sense.

    I could survive it - waiting a lifetime to be trusted and accepted, to live a life I'd dreamed of when I was locked up - if it weren't for Barnes. 6 foot something of pure resistance and hatred.

    He’s brooding. He's arrogant. He's like a suit of armour come to life with the personality of the air inside it. He won't get under my skin. If it's the last thing I do, he won't get to me.

    Summary

    When Isabelle Stark returned from the Blip, she thought she was stepping back into a life she recognized. Instead, she finds herself a relic in a world that's already moved on.
    Grieving her father, mourning the Avengers, and carrying powers she barely trusts, Isabelle is left with one option: survive the public eye, survive the politics, survive herself.
    Suit up. Smile for the cameras. Pretend she isn't breaking.
    Because the world is watching—and it still expects a Stark to save it.

    And somewhere in the wreckage, Isabelle finds herself drawn to a man who understands what it means to be left behind.
    Someone broken like her might just be willing to stay.
    --------

    "She wasn't looking for a way to fall. He wasn't looking for someone to catch."

     

    A Bucky Barnes/OC (Stark daughter) story set during The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
    Because listen... I'm a sucker for the "grumpy ex-assassin falls for Tony's Starks daughter" trope, okay?

    Summary

    The New Avengers have formed, and Valentina is looking for new recruits. When Evelyn Day turns up with unprecedented, untested and not fully disclosed powers, including the ability to control the Void within Bob, she becomes a valuable and powerful member of the team. And in the chaos, Bucky Barnes finds love in the 21st century. Life seems pretty good - he's in love, he's seen, he's known - but his past will always come back to haunt him eventually.

    A slow burn we all love to be scorched by and many eventual plot twists. A heavy focus on Bucky's psychological recovery, learning to allow himself to be loved, and trying and sometimes failing to move on from his past.

    *Not canon compliant with Avengers: Endgame*
    *Partially inspired by all those 'Bucky as a boyfriend' headcannons littering my TikTok right now and by some Bucky/Thunderbolts memes*
