Summary
It is 2002, 18 year old Natasha Romanova is looking her graduation from the Red Room in the eyes. Fear isn't what she should be feeling. Madame has broken her of that habit. Someone has given her a reason to be afraid now.
James doesn't remember anything. Only that he's woken up, metal arm in tow and the newest member of an underground Soviet academy to train super soldiers. He's been the only successful one of the five. The only thing that really has mattered is the girl with red hair who's made him forget to breathe.
Natasha and James encounter each other many times, each time reminds them how hard it is to deny feelings they've been told to not have.
This is a Winter Widow fic. I do not claim to own these characters or know all. Fic inspired by this fan video.

Summary
It has been just over a year since S.H.I.E.L.D. fell and the Winter Soldier disappeared from the banks of the Potomac in Washington DC. While not teaming up with the Avengers, Natasha takes side-missions to fund her private safe houses and aliases. She didn’t expect Bucky Barnes to come out of hiding, hiring her to break the encryptions on a number of HYDRA files he had stolen.
Uncertain of his motives, Natasha agrees to the job only if he accompanies her to an isolated location within the Rocky Mountains. In the days that it takes for her to hack the drives, Natasha struggles with her feelings for a man who remembers nothing of her. Bucky struggles with rebuilding his own self-identity and his attraction to Natasha. What they eventually uncover from HYDRA has deadly implications.
Alternating Bucky & Natasha POVs. Wilderness settings. Cozy cabins. PTSD. And at least one wolf.
MCU/Comic 616 Fusion, with the Winter Soldier and Natasha having a shared Red Room history that she remembers but he doesn’t.
Active WIP - Updated every few weeks.
Warning: Contains mentions of attempted suicide. I'll flag the most intense chapters as needed.

As if you don't remember, as if you can forget; it's only been a moment, it's only been a lifetime but tonight, you're a stranger. Some Silhouette. <-- The lyrics from the song that broke my heart with this.
She doesn't remember, he knows everything. He watches over her to make sure she doesn't get hurt and she's willing to fight the world alone. How can he walk away from everything he's ever wanted when he knows if he does, he could lose her forever?
What will it take for Natasha to remember she loves Bucky Barnes?

Summary
Her eyes widen as she watched the shadowy figure from yesterday jump from the rafters to the ground with a sudden thud. His mask was still on and something shiny caught her attention. Her blood ran cold as she suddenly put the pieces together of who this man- no- soldier was. She’s heard the legends whispered at night. Natalia was never one to be afraid however at the sight of his metal arm gleaning she understood why Madam Irene was so afraid to have her fight him.
"So you're the Winter Soldier?" Natasha stated trying to find the man behind the mask.
