Welcome to the official carrd for SoH! By clicking through, you can find official character profiles.

This was his. This was his slice of heaven, and only his. No one would take that away from him again, especially not HYDRA.
...
When aspiring journalist Rosalie Ames' friends are taken hostage by HYDRA and she's forced into witness protection with the Avengers, Rosalie must grapple with her own inadequacies and insecurities in order to get them back--but the fight isn't as easy as superhero movies make it out to be, and it feels like the only person she can rely on is a former brainwashed super-soldier who seems to linger nearby her. Can she save her friends from HYDRA before they, too, are brainwashed like Bucky was?--Bucky Barnes x OC fic. Not canon compliant, takes place shortly after CA:CW. No Thanos and everyone lives in the compound together.As a warning, will be pretty OC-centric as this story is for me and my friends.Bucky is around 30-33 in mental/physical age since he was 28 when he fell off the train.Inspired HEAVILY in Ch. 1-4 by "Winter Mountain Soldier Spy" by Cosmos_coma and "Kosa" by ashwritesometimes.As a warning, all characters will probably be pretty OOC in this as I haven't written fanfic in a while. Also, the romance is very slowburn, so be warned.
