Exile

Exile

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Female Reader

Summary: You never really think that the last time is the last time. You think there will be more. You think you have forever – but you don’t.

Warnings: Major ANGST, heartbreak, explicit sexual content (I’m not even willing to call this SMUT), heavy mentions of infidelity, mentions of alcohol. 18+.

A/N: This is totally self indulgent, and I know some people don’t like to read cheating Bucky. But life happens, and shit happens. This is for all the girls who never had the strength to walk away. You deserve the world, and absolutely no less. A couple of my favourite Greys Anatomy quotes nestled in there, including the summary. Because I couldn’t not.

As always, thank you so much to @ozarkthedog and @msmarvelwrites for your constant support. Divider by the talented @chrissquares.
