First let me start by saying thank you so much for over 900k. Never in my wildest dreams did i think this story would be so popular. Thank you for every read, every vote, and every comment. There's no way i could possibly read or respond to them all but thank you for them just the same.

Second, at one point there was some interest in a Bucky story with this soulmate au. I'm starting to get back to writing again and I'm plotting out my next several fics. If there is enough interest in the Bucky fic I'll add it to the list so let me know!

Eta: I'd say that's a yes on the Bucky fic. I'll let y'all know when it's posted. 😁

Guess what lovelies? This is now live. 

Open Wounds *this book is complete at ~45,000 words*

SHIELD has used the knowledge that you are the soulmate of the Winter Soldier to their advantage for years. Then the Winter Soldier is no more and Bucky Barnes has returned. He knows he has a soulmate and he's desperate to find them before Hydra does. But he's years too late for that.

Maybe you were stupid to trust Phil Coulson and Nick Fury after everything Hydra put you through but you were a kid looking for a family and they gave you that. SHIELD used you as bait for a decade only telling you the truth when they had no other choice. So, what happens when you discover your soulmate is one of the men you swore to destroy?

***this is a scars and bruises soulmate AU. It is NOT a sequel to Battle Scars but shares the same AU***
