Summary:
Angels walk among us. They serve the people, aiding those who need it, guiding their chosen, and using their magical abilities to make the world a better place. Rosalie Archer thought she had it all. Once her two best friends, Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes, returned from World War II, she would bind her life to theirs, and the three of them would live happily ever after. Only Bucky fell from a train, and Steve crashed into the ice, and Rosalie had to find a new path in life.

Now it’s 2014, and unbeknownst to Rosalie, her secret has been discovered. HYDRA wants to harness the power of angels, and with the help of a demon with a grudge, their experiments are close to complete. When Rosalie goes missing, her old friend, Peggy Carter, sends Steve and Bucky after her. In a reunion seventy years in the making, how will Steve and Bucky react to Rosalie’s abilities? How will the rest of the Avengers react to a new comrade with wings?

And how far will demons go in order to see all of the angels destroyed?

A Stucky/OC Angels AU.

Notes:
Written as part of ~tilltheendwilliwrite's 7.7k Covid Sucks Prompt Challenge. Congrats on all the followers, T - you deserve all that and more! I hope you like what I've come up with for this challenge. ♥

This fic assumes that 1. Bucky was rescued from HYDRA, 2. the Accords never happened, and 3. everyone is living happily ever after(ish) in the Avengers Compound. What's canon? I've never met them. Takes place post the first Avengers movie.

Warnings for Chapter 5: Torture, mentioned past character death, Malcolm is creepy AF

Angel of Mine will be on hiatus for the month of November so I can focus on NaNoWriMo. Fear not - AoM is one of my NaNo projects this year, and I will be drafting new chapters! (And hopefully getting a good chunk of this story done, lol) ♥

Posting will resume on December 6, on the same bi-weekly schedule. I'll see you then!

Instead of dropping the tray on the floor and slamming the door, someone lingered inside the doorway. He wasn’t wearing a helmet, though he had the same fatigues and weapons as the other soldiers. Mousy brown hair flopped into his face, and he shook it out of his eyes.

He took one step in, then two. His eyes flicked back and forth, never looking directly at her face. The tray trembled as he set it down on the floor. “Wow,” he breathed. He shuddered, straightening to his full height. Small and skinny, his fatigues were half a size too big for him.

She thought of Steve, standing in the alley, fists up and ready to fight. Rosalie blinked. The dim light of her cell reminded her of where she was.

“Excuse me?” She stared at him, waiting for an answer.

“There were rumors in the barracks, about an angel in the dungeon.” He stepped back towards the door. His left hand balled into a fist. “You have wings.”
