Summary
Freedom is not secured by the fulfilling of one’s desires,
but by the removal of desire.
For where the mind submits itself to another’s will,
there the body follows, even in chains.— Epictetus

Summary
Nothing.
There was nothing.
It was nothing.
“Soldier?” The doctor was no longer a man but pure willpower. Something inside of Bucky spoke without him permitting it.
“Ready to comply.”
***
His last punch was already in motion. He was aware of the door flying forward, off it’s hinges. But it was too late. He was forced to the back of his brain, the commands of the psychologist his only focus, his only ability.“Soldier?” The psychologist was now his will, and the familiar words were compelled from his throat.
“Ready to comply.”
***
Shuri had promised him never again.OR, the author rewatched Civil War, saw Bucky's desperation when Zemo starts reading his trigger words, and wrote a fic about his brainwashing.
PLEASE mind tags and notes for warnings. This is a little dark. Blanket warning for Hydra plus some brief wanting to die. Rated mature for violence and swearing

This Selfish Love. by Irish_Khonshu
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (TV)

Tags
Summary
This is my first fanfic so I apologise if this is bad but feel free to give me advice!!
This selfish love would have been the death of Bucky if he had not been through this exact thing before, if he hadn’t of known exactly what not to do, for example, admit it, to anyone.
Or the one where Bucky hates himself for ruining things with Steve and Sam might be gay but you’ll never know, because with my rapidly declining mental state, I will probably only finish this after I graduate.
Shit summary I know, but nevertheless I hope that you enjoy!!

Persephone by E_Erasteon_107th

Summary
Persephone Iodannis was raised in a house of glass; brilliant, suffocating, and always watched. Her mind was a puzzle to be solved; her body a vessel to be measured. Now Persephone finds herself under scrutiny again-this time by HYDRA. She's been taken, relocated, tested. Again. But something is different now. The world around her is starting to bend. And Persephone wakes with gaps in her memory, blood beneath her nails. She tries to be optimistic, upbeat and joyful- but something in her is changing-something powerful and terrifying.
The Winter Soldier was silent, quiet, deadly. He did not speak unless he was told, he did not breath until they told him to breathe. The Soldier lived for HYDRA and would die for HYDRA. Perhaps that's why they placed him here, to guard the one they called "Persephone". They told him she was highly volatile, dangerous, a serial murderer. But she spoke to him like he was human. That was their first mistake- putting him here.

Summary
Reader has been enhanced through experimentation, she has blood control abilities, and is part of British S.H.E.I.L.D. She and a group of others are sent to the US as a part of an integration program between the sister agencies.
Reader befriends Bucky Barnes (the winter soldier), their relationship grows until Bucky relapses into the winter soldier and attacks her, straining their already odd relationship.Reader is characterised as odd/weird and has slight obsessive tendencies.
I decided to write this cuz I really like Bucky fics when he relapses into the WS however I can never find any where he doesn't immediately turn back without there being much damage done (I love the angst lol); so TW lots of violence and gore as he almost kills her ;p
The timeline isn't canonical although it's set sometime before infinity war when Bucky is still battling with the winter soldier. reader is also covered in scars because of the circumstances surrounded how she got her abilities. -

Darlene Fearchild
Inverness, ScotlandMy Dearest, Darlene.
You asked me if I considered shedding blood a sin. I told you it was a condemnation, not a sentence. Only we can condemn ourselves to eternal madness after doing something so heinous. My greatest sin is believing that one day you would forgive me for what I doomed you to. I was supposed to be a safe pair of hands, but how could I when they are covered in your golden blood?∘₊✧─────────────✧₊∘

Summary
James - not Bucky, Bucky had fractured into whoever he and Winter were now - liked to think of himself as a pretty chill guy. He coexisted with the others in the tower, put up with their shenanigans, and kept his head down. He knew that Steve wanted him to be more: more of a person, more like Bucky, more friendly more healed from 70 years of torture. Unfortunately for Steve, James was none of those things, but Winter? Winter had managed to make himself a friend. Too bad Steve didn't know Winter existed.
...Or like Winter's new friend.Title from Steve's Going to London by AJR

Summary
She was trained to harvest memories.
He was built to bury them.Two ghosts of failed programs colliding in the aftermath of a war neither of them remembers starting.
When a mission pulls her back into the orbit of the man she thought she'd never see again, old wounds reopen in ways neither of them can control.
There's history between them — the kind that bleeds, the kind that doesn't fade when you close your eyes.
And somewhere between the static of forgotten orders and the quiet of recovery, they'll have to decide whether redemption is something people like them are still allowed to want.
A slow-burn, cinematic, emotionally devastating character study that lives somewhere between two terrifingly deadly weapons colliding with Luke Danes & Lorelai Gilmore core.
Expect long silences, loaded glances, trauma bonding, reluctant tenderness, many eye-rolls, and the kind of dialogue that cuts more than it comforts — balanced with humor to heal the heartbreak you're about to experience.
It's a story about survival, control, grief, and what happens when someone who was trained to disappear decides to exist anyway.
