Description:

When Bucky Barnes comes in from the cold and settles in Avengers Tower, SHIELD fears his split personality, Winter, is a Hydra loyalist—which couldn't be further from the truth.

Winter is actually an alien symbiote Hydra forced into Bucky's body. Winter has loved Bucky since Azzano, suffered with him at Hydra's hands, and Winter alone retained the memory of Bucky's identity and their relationship after each painful memory wipe. Now that they've escaped, Bucky and Winter just want the freedom to enjoy being safe, happy, and in love.

When "in love" comes to include devoted couple Steve Rogers and Tony Stark, Bucky and Winter will need to open up about what Winter really is, what Bucky has become, and what the two of them can do together.

Notes:

Although I've incorporated some things from the comics, symbiotes in this series mostly adhere to what's seen in the Venom (2018) movie.

This series is Bucky/Winter and Steve/Tony to Bucky/Steve/Tony/Winter.
