Summary
James Buchanan Barnes had been through a lot in his life: Fighting in wars, brainwashed and forced to kill for decades, fighting to remember who he was... The hardest part of it all? Finding his place back in the world.
Then, there was you.
You had been someone else for so long, you didn't know how to step back into life.
From being taken to the Red Room, brainwashed, and then taken and experimented on by HYDRA for decades, you and Barnes shared your fair share of trauma, both separately and together.
You had grown close, although it hadn't happened overnight. You hated each other. There were multiple times over the years when you tried to kill each other and almost succeeded. Eventually, you both escaped HYDRA, and the most peaceful years were when you were on the run.
Unfortunately, the world had other plans. You were thrown back into the fight, on a galactic scale this time. Bucky blipped, you didn't. After five dark years, the fight was won, but at a severe cost to both of you.

Summary
You both survived Hydra, the Blip, and even survived each other. Yet you still hadn’t survived the hardest part—learning how to live normally.
Bucky Barnes is trying to make peace with a world that finally stopped hunting him. He traded his rifle for a congressional seat, promising himself he'd do what he could to help. Congress meetings instead of missions, making headlines instead of spilling blood. But politics has its own kind of crosshairs and ghosts don’t rest easy.
Neither does the woman who once fought at his side.
You’re learning what it means to stay and build something that isn’t just survival. To trust the quiet when all you’ve ever known is the fight. You weren’t what Hydra made you, but when others start moving in the dark again—sanctioned killers under government badges—you can’t ignore what’s coming. Not when you’ve seen what simple orders can turn into.
Bucky wants you safe. You want to protect him at all costs. And somewhere between that love and loyalty, both of you will have to decide if you can hold onto each other without losing who you’re trying to become as new threats stir and the past resurfaces.
But even when you think the war is over, it still casts a shadow.Series
