After the battle against Thanos and his armies, Marlow Hendrix is tasked with helping Steve Rogers return the Infinity Stones to their rightful times. When her mission goes awry in 1970, she keeps her resolve, waiting to find a way out of an increasingly dangerous situation while being stuck away from home and away from help. Back in 2023, Bruce picks up her signal and pulls it to the present, unaware of the danger that lurks in the past. It is only when an unexpected threat steps off the platform that they realise how badly the mission went. And when Marlow finally returns, she struggles to come to terms with her past in order to accept her future--but with the help of a familiar face, she might just do it. ⁂ Main themes: Time-travel, canon-compliant, Endgame to FATWS, Hydra, slow-burn, trauma, brainwashing, friends to lovers. ⁂ "She knew his face. She felt she knew it like the back of her hand by now, so she tried her hardest to prepare herself in those infinitely long moments after Richardson spoke. It didn't matter though; she couldn't help the hiccup of her heart as he walked in, dressed in leathers, with his hair significantly shorter than she'd ever seen in person. As his eyes landed on her, she tried not to expect his face to be the one she knew. She tried to not to expect it to shift into a look of realization, then to worry, then to protection. Because he wasn't the Bucky she knew." ________ Loosely inspired by a vid by @madsxbarnes on Tiktoki

Y/N has always kept to herself to avoid others from discovering her abilities. After a night she would rather forget, S.H.I.E.L.D. gives Y/N two choices: stay at a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility to be monitored, or stay with the Avengers to be monitored. She reluctantly chooses the latter. While learning new skills, Y/N faces the challenge of navigating the meaning of family after years of detachment from others. Then, when an old threat familiar to both the Avengers and Y/N reappears, she is given the ultimatum of helping or hiding. Despite the unknown, Y/N places herself in the world of superheroes and finds her purpose may be more than what her parents had her believe. *** [1st person POV] NOTES: Follows a timeline where Hydra is still active after 2014 (CA:WS), Avengers didn't break up after Civil War, and takes place ~one year after Bucky's return from Wakanda.

Y/N and Bucky's time in Wakanda was needed and helpful after the previous months of chaos. After three months away, they decide it's time to return to the Compound and get back to normal. Unfortunately for the Avengers, 'normal' means danger; something Y/N is still learning to deal with. When Hydra reappears and begins to wreak havoc on a global scale, Y/N takes on her role as an Avenger, dealing with feelings of guilt, responsibility, and fear for her newfound family, all while trying to find her place in the world of superheroes and corruption. *** "This is the first time in over a year that I feel like I can really see the world. Like I'm here, not struggling to keep my head above water, not watching from the backseat. And now that I'm here, I see what I can do to help... but also what I can lose. And it's scary." *** [Part 3 of Reaching Out] [Bucky Barnes X Reader] [1st person POV] MAIN THEMES FROM PART 1 and 2: Y/N with powers, moving in with the Avengers, Bucky+Y/N romance, quick-burn and fluffy, drama and trauma (of course), Hydra being dicks as per usual, missions, dealing with trauma, fluff on fluff on fluff.

It's been two months since Y/N returned to the Compound, but despite her best efforts, she can't seem to escape her trauma. Nightmares haunt her at night, while memories stalk her during the day; a never-ending cycle that she hopes she can smile her way through. She finds distraction in her busy schedule and a few quiet moments in-between, but no matter how hard she tries, she can't forget. And now that the world knows who she is, she likely never will. Some see her as a hero, others see her as a weapon. Y/N doesn't know which to believe-especially with the little control she feels she has over her life anymore. The journey to recovery is never easy, but Y/N thinks it may be impossible. *** [Part 2 of Reaching Out] [Bucky Barnes X Reader] [1st person POV] MAIN THEMES FROM PART 1: Y/N with powers, moving in with the Avengers, Bucky+Y/N romance, quick-burn, drama and trauma (of course), fluff on fluff on fluff. NOTES: Follows a timeline where Hydra is still active after 2014 (CA:WS), Avengers didn't break up after Civil War, and takes place ~one year after Bucky's return from Wakanda.

S-20 has only ever known one thing, Hydra, until one man came into his life and showed him that there was so much more. That man was his first friend. His older brother. But after one night, the two were ripped apart and S-20 cannot even remember his face, only the words and stories that he said. After years of pain and torture, S-20 was finally able to escape from Hydra. *** Tony Stark once had a son. He once had a wife. He once had a heart. All of it was ripped away from him, one fateful night. His young boy stolen at the age of three. The only thing left of him being the wrinkled photographs of his mangled body. The smallest caskets are always the heaviest. And Tony's been drowning ever since. *** James Buchanan Barnes has never loved war. He didn't join the army during WWII because he was desperately wanted to. He didn't love being tortured and brainwashed into Hydra's elite ranks. No, James Buchanan Barnes hated war. And all that it had stole from him. After he fell from that fright car, he thought he could finally gave some peace in death. Even that was taken away. He spent decades with monsters that only saw him as less than. The only good thing there being a young, small mutant that he shared a cell with. Even that was taken away. Now he was free. There was no war; only peace. That wasn't the same for the battle raging through his mind. ....... - #1 in #TonyStarkHasAHeart !!!!!

' "Put her down, Bucky." It was Steve. Staring up into Bucky's eyes that were now glued to the captain, Brenna saw the soft blue turn to steel. A low growl grumbled in his throat. He gently placed her back onto her feet, whipping a knife out of his belt. He pushed Brenna behind him protectively. Backing away with caution, Brenna could only watch as the suspense rose. "Don't make me do this," Steve pleaded, his voice sounding tired. But Bucky was gone once again, taken control of by the Winter Soldier. And the only thing that mattered now was completing his mission. The two lunged for each other. ' • • • Brenna Halliday Stark. She'd never dreamed that one day she would have superpowers; that one day, she would kill. One day, she would fall in love with an assassin under the control of HYDRA. But it happened. What starts as innocent curiousity almost costs Brenna her life many times. However, with new abilities arrising seemingly everyday, she becomes an incredibly powerful opponent. Including her grettest ability yet: the power to calm and even heal the Winter Soldier. • • • Takes place mostly during The Winter Soldier and the unfilmed events after that movie. For the sake of this story, Civil War and any movies afterwards never happen. I want there to be a nice, happy ending. ♡

"Some scars are louder than silence." "Some echoes never fade." She's fire and fury, all sharp edges and unfinished grief. He's silence and shadow, worn down by years of ghosts. Recovery was never part of the mission. But now, it's the only one that matters. Wherever Yelena goes, Bucky-James in her own words-follows. Not ahead. Not behind. Always beside her, like an echo stitched into her soul. Not the crimson ones, no, Bucky is better than all that. Through sleepless nights, haunted memories, and the slow, aching journey toward peace, they learn that healing doesn't have to be lonely. That healing doesn't mean they have to be alone. Two broken soldiers. One unspoken promise: "I'm not going anywhere." A story of trauma, tenderness, quiet bond, and everything that destroyed them that just might save them both. Yelena Belova X James Buchanan Barnes Credits go to Marvel.

Just when Natasha and Bucky think that they can put their past in Russia behind them and start over, a mission goes sideways and they come back with more than they expected. A lone survivor of the Red Room. Will she be able to help them heal? What will the other Avengers think of her?

The Avengers are all friends in year 12 of high school, focusing on the Cap Trio of Steve, Natasha and Sam until a mysterious new kid arrives. He's secretive and equipped with a traumatic backstory none of them knew of (or so he thought...), more unfortunate ties to other people than he'd like to admit (why was Natasha so familiar...?), a load of problems to face - and don't forget the arm made of metal. His name was Bucky. OR: Bucky joins his new school and becomes best friends with Steve, Sam and Nat - but there is much more to him than that, especially when Bucky's past comes back to haunt everyone... There will be Buckynat and some Steggy, Pepperony, ClintLaura (and best friend Stucky ofc). All characters belong to Marvel :) ongoing
