Respect | S. Rogers [1]

Respect

Respect /rɪˈspɛkt/: admiration felt for someone or something; politeness, honour and care showed for someone or something; or to accept the importance of someone's rights.

I am a weapon.

That's what Hydra had drilled into her mind. She was meant to inure, torture and kill, not care nor desire anything in life. However, when she is sent to spy on Captain America, the man reminded her about her own value and who she was. 

You wanted a weapon, I'll show you a weapon.

Hydra had created a weapon, they didn't expect her to backfire. She was intended to be Hydra's means to domination, she turned out to be its destruction.

Or

In which Rosemary Dziedzic realises her strength and starts accepting the fact that she is as worthy of love and respect as everyone else.

A trilogy of courage, acceptance, friendship and loss. Furthermore, about two friends who realise that through their entire lives they've always had their happy ending right beside them.

I want to start by telling you that I'm very excited about this story to which I've put so much effort and love.
For years I have been watching Marvel movies with this idea brewing in my head and I finally have the courage (and some time) to write and publish it. I hope you guys enjoy and suffer through it as much as I did.

I am not a native English speaker so if there are any mistakes, I apologise in advance.
All critics are welcomed as long as they are written with respect.

Also, I wanted to point out that this is a very slow-burn romance, neither Rosemary or Steve are going to fall in love with each other at the beginning of the story, it will take a lot of time to even look at the other with different eyes.

I'm a very perfectionist person so the Playlist took me a long time because I wanted to pick the perfect songs to represent the story with their respective lyrics. I hope you enjoy them and maybe even find a new song that picks your interest.

If you are still here, thank you for giving me and my characters a chance.
