─── FROM RUSSIA, WITH LOVE.
a winter soldier x reader fanfiction. ★
SYNOPSIS: Doubting is treason. In the Soviet Union, treason is paid for with death. You’ve known this since you were a child. The words are burned into your mind. But sometimes, that ironclad truth cracks in your chest—especially when your path collides with the Winter Soldier. He is nothing like the monster the Red Room made you fear. He is only a man… or what remains of one. And the closer you get to him, the more everything you’ve been taught begins to fracture under a new, dangerous light of understanding. Assigned as his handler, you watch as fragmented memories torment him with increasing frequency, slowly revealing the humanity buried beneath the weapon. You begin to share his doubts, and when a final order makes you realize how tightly the chain binds both of you, you’ll have to make a choice: follow the path you were forged for, or risk everything in search of the closest thing to freedom you can find. PAIRING: Winter Soldier x Black Widow! Reader.
