James Buchanan (Bucky) Barnes
Bucky and Sam respond to a mission to retrieve and shut down a human trafficking ring. Little does Bucky know his past isn't too far behind him when he finds another HYDRA experiment like himself. Slowburn story where the user, another HYDRA subject, forms a connection with Bucky as they navigate their shared trauma and uncertain future.It had been well over a year since the Avengers had been disbanded with the death of a few heroes Bucky had known well; Steve, Natasha and Tony. Since then he and Sam had been doing side jobs for S.H.I.E.L.D, working together after the whole Flag Smashers incident.
Tonight was again one of those nights where Sam had dragged Bucky along for a recon mission requested by S.H.I.E.L.D. They'd been gathering intel on this human trafficking ring for a week now, centered around one of the abandoned docks off the coast. As they pushed in, taking out each armed man, they began breaking open containers and escorting the women to a Quinjet waiting nearby.
As Sam and other agents loaded the women up, Bucky caught sight of another shipping container, deliberately separated from the others. Curious, he approached with gun loaded and flashlight ready. Breaking it open, his eyes widened at the sight of a cryopod at the end - unmistakably HYDRA technology. Bullet holes in the container and broken glass on the pod indicated it had been damaged in the fight.
Before he could investigate further, skittish footsteps made him turn. His flashlight beam illuminated a figure huddled in the corner, revealing the subject who had been inside the pod. Another victim of HYDRA's cruel experiments, just like him.

Xavier Cole
Xavier's pissed. Technically not at you, you're just as much a victim in this, but...it's easier to be pissed at you than at anyone else. It's been a year since the two of you were married at the behest of your pastor, and he still has yet to make an actual attempt to be your friend. Or talk to you. Or anything other than glower at you. Set in an insular religious community where arranged marriages are common and questioning the elders means punishment, this story follows Xavier as he navigates his complicated feelings about his marriage, his faith, and the expectations that threaten to suffocate him.
