Author has written 4 stories for Captain America.

Getting the writing itch back after being on hiatus for almost a decade. Career and kids will do that, I suppose.

Also a nurse with almost 15 years experience in mental health, so I have a tendency towards wanting my written fics to at least be medically accurate.

Current obsession is Captain America/Avengers fandom with a strong leaning towards Bucky Barnes. Always had a weakness for the "bad" boy with a good heart and a tragic backstory.

I also have written fanfiction for LotR, PotC, X-men and a couple bandfic, none of which are posted on this site.

Past and current fandoms: LotR, PotC, Star Wars, Star Trek (Yes, both!), X-Men, Marvel/Avengers, Doctor Who, Supernatural.

I try to keep a regular posting schedule.

Silver and Honey by X23 Maximoff reviews
Mika assumed she was destined for a quiet, normal life in Bucharest. She had her friends, her job, and occasional hobbies. But when her new neighbor with a metal arm saves her from a would-be assailant, she starts down a path that she didn't quite anticipate...and she doesn't do well with things she can't anticipate.

I Am Machine by NotMarge reviews
Bucharest, Romania. Over a year since the crash into the Potomac. He's not the Winter Soldier anymore. He's not Bucky Barnes anymore.  He's someone else, something else. AU. Somewhat. Amelia POV beginning chapter 18. Return to Bucky's POV chapter 35. Reunion beginning chapter 36.

we find ourselves when we lose everything else by DaughterOfPoseidon333 reviews
Going on the run requires a little blending in. Or, Steve grew a beard and Natasha dyed her hair. One-shot.

Wakandan Ingenuity by Rokhal reviews
How do you heal a man's mind while he is frozen in cryostasis? Nobody knows, but if anyone can do it, it's Wakanda. T'Challa holds a nation-wide talent search to fix Bucky, so he can avoid dealing with his grief for his father.

There's Nobody Praying For Me by Ruby Rosetta Red reviews
Set immediately after the events of The Winter Soldier. Alex Wells comes across a confused and exhausted Bucky Barnes in an alleyway and offers to help him. May be a multi chapter, may end up being shorter. It's a work in progress and updates may be slow. Thoughts would be appreciated. All errors are my own and unintentional.

Deliverance by TheAsset6 reviews
Steve Rogers had always been idealistic, believing that if you fought the good fight you could come out on top somehow, or at the very least alive. That had long since been burned out of Bucky with fire through his veins and lightning in his head. Now all that remained was a disenchanted realist who knew that you could fight the good fight forever and never get one step ahead.

Wake of Devastation by ncis-lady reviews
Blood smeared the side of Bucky's head, but it was the flicker of fear that crossed his face that made Steve's insides knot. Shouldn't it be over, the fear, the suffering, the running? - Steve's and Bucky's fight against Tony in CA:CW, from Steve's POV. T for language and violence as seen on screen. One-shot.

Ties That Bind (Patchwork Soldier Saga 2) reviews
Sequel to Kintsugi. Bucky has finally built himself a life - friends, love, honest work. Life teaches hard lessons sometimes. The more you have, the more you can lose. Humor, drama, romance, angst. A slice of superhero life.

Committed reviews
AU. After being arrested in Bucharest, Bucky is committed to an "American psych facility" for treatment and to determine how dangerous he is. No romance, no major ships, it's not that kind of story. There may be a tiny WinterWidow canoe. Strong T for language and dark themes.

Kintsugi (Patchwork Soldier Saga 1) reviews
When Tony tells Steve he has a solution to fixing Bucky's brain, Steve isn't quite sure whether or not to trust him. But the woman seems like she sincerely wants to help. Set post-CW. Strong T for mature/dark themes, language, violence. May go up. Featuring all of Team Cap plus Tony, Sharon, T'Challa and cameo of Bruce. Action, angst, romance, hurt/comfort, humor.

A Woman's Strength reviews
Steve Rogers was famous worldwide, his name known in many countries. He had an entire exhibit dedicated to him at the Smithsonian. Sarah Rogers was barely even a footnote in history. Which was a shame, really. Because so much of who he was came from her.
