Summary
Inspired by a TikTok asking the question: Did anyone ever feel compassion for Bucky while he was held prisoner?
We know what happened to turn James "Bucky" Barnes into the Winter Soldier. This is the story of one of the individuals who helped make the transformation happen.
Brilliant Soviet scientist Galina meets an injured American soldier and tries to comfort him at first; then, she is told what she must help the government do. When you work for the Soviet military, non-compliance is not an option. Even the tiniest deviation from directive must be shrouded in complete secrecy . . .
(This is a prequel for a longer story I am writing, which takes place in present day.)

Summary
When the Soviet Union ceased to exist, the military asset once known as the Winter Soldier slipped through the cracks of bureaucracy and ended up the prized enforcer in the "army" of a violent American crime lord.
Nico Aragon loves nothing more than control, ownership and brute power. The creature now known as the Wind-Up Soldier gives him all three. This might be the best investment Nico has ever made.
Rose Aragon is Nico's young, unhappy wife. The Wind-Up Soldier terrifies her.
Until she learns his secret.
Lots of tension (sexual and otherwise), twisted elements of mafia-wife trope, a few action sequences, life on the run, fluff, angst, romance, and some smut. . . ;)
