In your world, everyone has a soulmate. And when the time is right—when you come of age—their name appears on your wrist in bold, black letters. Permanent. Unchanging. A promise written into your skin.

You’ve imagined it a hundred different ways. Wondered if the name would feel familiar or completely foreign. Dreamed of the moment it would finally show up. You just never expected that name.

James Buchanan Barnes.

You trace the inked letters with trembling fingers, your heart thudding in your chest. The name doesn’t just carry weight—it carries history. The Winter Soldier. A man out of time. A ghost of war, with a past that haunts headlines and hushed conversations alike.

And now, somehow… he’s yours.

But Bucky doesn’t know you yet. He doesn’t know your face, your laugh, your heart. He doesn’t know that his name is on your skin. That your fate is tied to his.

And maybe he isn’t ready. Maybe you aren’t either.

But ready or not, your paths are about to cross.

And when they do… everything will change.
