They finally have it all. Bucky, Harley, and Steve, no longer facing any threats, can live the life they were supposed to live back in the 1940's. No more sadistic organizations trying to ruin their life. But, then again, they're forgetting that sometimes the people who can hurt you the most are the ones you're closest to. 

*It is not necessary to read Winter Is Coming first, but I would recommend it.*

Sequel of Rumors of War, The Immortality War, and Winter's War. Book Four of Five. Set during Captain America: Civil War. .•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•. "I love you, James Buchanan Barnes. Just breathe. Your war is over." I loop my fingers around his, making one small connection as the whole world falls apart around us. Bucky takes my white Lady Liberty helmet off my head, allowing my messy braided hair to fall out. With a small smile, he brushes my dark bangs from my eyes. I close my eyes and lean into his hand. Whatever happens after this, we've found each other again. If that's the only good thing that survives today, I'm okay with that. .•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•. Two years have passed since Alexander Pierce nearly fulfilled HYDRA's mission. Two years have passed since the Insight carriers were destroyed. Two years have passed since they discovered that Bucky Barnes was not only alive but has been the Winter Soldier for seventy years. Two years have passed since Emma made the ultimate sacrifice to defeat HYDRA and awaken Bucky within the Winter Soldier. Much has happened in the time she was asleep. The Avengers have fought another threat of their own making and have added new members to the team. Grant Barnes is alive, Steve and Natasha are a couple, and Bucky is still missing. To Emma, everything seems to be the same. But nothing lasts forever. The events of a failed mission force the Avengers to make a choice: safety or freedom. Sides are taken which sever the Avengers down the middle. Things are not always as they seem. Agendas and secrets split apart the Avengers more effectively than enemies ever could. And with a confused Bucky in the mix, the truth about his and Emma's past is bound to come to light: the good and the bad. One secret in particular involves all of them. A secret that will bring the Avengers to their end. [COMPLETED] {Cover by @CaroDelMonte © 2018}

"A gift." One guard says to someone else in the room as he leaves. I groan in pain and scrunch myself into a ball, squeezing my eyes shut. Seconds later I hear shuffling and then someone is beside me. "Y/N?" Asks a voice. No- Bucky's voice. My whole body relaxes and I let out a soft breath. He's ok. ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ Staying together has always been the most important thing to Y/N Rogers. After the death of her mother left her an orphaned 15-year-old, her friendship with her older brother Steve and best friend Bucky mattered more than ever. She latched onto them, finding some bittersweet solace in their closeness. In turn, they finished raising her. The three were inseparable. Even now, six years later, nothing has changed. So when Bucky and Steve both leave to fight in the war the last thing she's going to do is stay in Brooklyn. Nothing's too far if it keeps their trio together. Not leaving everything she knows behind, not shoving down feelings she's refused to acknowledge for years, not even risking her life time and time again. It's the kind of commitment fueled by an infinite amount of love, but guaranteed to end in disaster, every single time.

Not everything Hydra did had a specific purpose. Sometimes they tortured people and ruined lives just because they could. The kidnapping of Joana Kegley served no greater purpose than to help break in their newest experiment. Before her boyfriend went to war, Joana was a simple girl who helped her elderly grandmother run a clothing store. After her boyfriend went to war, she became something of a small town hero. A woman came to her personally to tell her that her boyfriend, Bucky Barnes, and her best friend, Steve Rogers, had both died bringing down Hydra. It wasn't long after that when she was plucked off the street like some stray cat and chained to a chair like a dog on a leash, where she learned that Bucky had endured something worse than death and that she was there to help them break him. Nothing she did could stop the turn of events that took place as the years rolled by. She hardly noticed that neither one of them aged. It wasn't until Hydra fell and she was still locked away, somewhere in the deep pits of some underground facility, that she realized how much the world had changed. Bucky Barnes remembered very little outside his own name, but he remembered a girl. He remembered a girl with a voice of reason, who spoke only the truth to him, who wanted nothing more than to keep him safe from himself. She did everything she could to stop her superiors, and he would do anything to get her back. {I don't own Marvel. Basically, everything goes to the creators. I just got Jo and Winnie and some other stuff I made up. It will get dark, so if you don't think that that's for you, please don't read. Enjoy}
