1945 - Steve Rogers fell off a freight car, into the Alps.

Just days later, 1945 - Bucky Barnes crashlanded HYDRA's plane, the Valkyrie, into the Arctic.

1947 - Bucky Barnes was liberated from the ice.

The world wanted Steve Rogers. Bucky knew that.

He was told they had won. But Bucky had lost too much to really enjoy it. So he held on to one of the last people who knew Steve, knew him for what he was and not what was a blessing and a curse rolled into one - Peggy Carter. He tells himself he should, so he does. But she wasn't who the universe had wanted him to be with, and deep down, he knew it better than anything.

But his life was been taken from him, so he had to build a new one - one without Steve, without smudges of charcoal and scattered colored pencils; instead with Peggy, with lipstick smudges and littered SHIELD files.

Over time, Bucky tried to find his place in the world. He was a husband. He was a father to the best kids he could ever ask for. Then, all of a sudden, everyone he passed on the street hated him. All because of the past he had worked so hard to bury.

This is the only thing I'm able to write, I wrote 10,000+ words of it in the first two days, and I'M SO EXCITED TO SHARE IT!

It starts off weird, I know, but I promise that there's interesting things in store! I gave myself a lot of room to explore Bucky's relationships, with people and the world, with himself, and I'm having so much fun. You guys have no idea.

There is a spotify playlist for this. If you go to my Instagram, @ashdeanmanns, the code will be in my story and in the highlight folder for this fanfic. If you message me, I will gladly send it to you.

As of posting this: chapter one is the only chapter that's completely done. I was going to wait and post it all at once, but I'm impatient and I have nothing else to do right now, so here we are! I figured this could be a taste of what's coming, reel people in.

I hope this story is enjoyed, because I'm so excited for it all to be out. It's more than 3/4 of the way done, and I'm writing every chance I get. Thanks for reading!

Now, onward!
