Summary
Rey had spent as long as she could remember alone in the scorching sands of Jakku, alone and as lonely as could be - with no memory of her past and how she got there. A handsome stranger stumbles into her life and sweeps her away into a luxurious life she never expected and finds herself caught up in a complicated relationship that turned out to be far more than she bargained for.
She meets a mysterious, masked man, who triggers flashes of her memory, but as Empress of the First Order, the possibilities of their shared past and any chance of something more center them in a dangerous dance between what Fate decides and the First Order commands.

Summary
Her mission was simple: retrieve the Winter Soldier and return him to HYDRA.
Alive, if possible. Dead, if it meant she didn’t fail.But nothing about James Buchanan Barnes is simple. Not the way he looks at her. Not the way he carries the title of weapon like a wound. Not the way her suit trusted him more than it ever trusted her.
He spares her life. And she makes the mistake of letting him keep his.
Now they're running—together. From HYDRA, from the Avengers, from every power on Earth that wants them back in chains. Every road behind them is soaked in blood. Every road ahead is a dead end.
And somewhere in the middle of it, he touches her like he’s afraid to break her.
Like she’s not a weapon.
Like he isn’t either.Where do they go, when there's nowhere left to run?
And what does it mean to be human, when you were never meant to be?
A post-CATWS slow-burn character epic. Bucky/OC. Trauma, trust, and the long road to something like love.
Trilogy of Trilogies.
