Amidst such hardship and tragedy, it was unlikely that Erik Lensherr would've expected to come across anyone remotely like himself during one of the world's darkest times. Yet this is where he met Liesel Jäger, another unlikely discovery made by Sebastian Shaw. Being different could just get them through this, yet what happens afterwards? With Shaw on the run, it becomes apparent that Erik is determined to find him, while Liesel is uncertain. Perhaps with sudden recruiting she may just be swayed to joining in with stopping the madman from starting another world war. But once this is done and finished with...what then? New trouble arises, old friends return, and new ones appear. A peaceful simple life is all that Liesel had every really wanted, shame that it is the complete opposite to what Erik wishes for.

Bucky's public appearance was lacking in the... well, everything department. And now, with him fully being in the public eye as the new Captain America's right hand man, that needed to be fixed. That brought you into the equation, someone who seemed to be the direct opposite of the White Wolf. Bubbly, friendly, the perfect PR girlfriend for the grumpy man. Whether he liked it or not.

in a world where howard stark has a genius sister, the war doesn't just make a soldier. it makes a trio. steve rogers is the compass. bucky barnes is the heart. maxine stark is the spark with grease on her hands and sarcasm on her tongue, fixing radios, fixing rifles, fixing the people she loves because it's the only kind of praying she knows. ⋆˚࿔ but the future they used to joke about doesn't survive the 1940s. her lover falls from a train and the world calls it death. her best friend disappears into the ice and the world calls it heroic. and max gets too close to hydra's protocols, sees the pattern behind the cruelty, and hydra doesn't kill her. hydra keeps her. because she's useful. because she's leverage. because she's the one thing the winter soldiers body will still recognize when his mind won't. ⋆˚࿔ ⤷ ゛{ 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧 → 𝙘𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙡 𝙬𝙖𝙧 𝙖𝙪 } ˎˊ˗ 𝙗𝙪𝙘𝙠𝙮 𝙭 𝙊𝘾, 𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙨𝙩 & 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙩, 𝙨𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙗𝙪𝙧𝙣 𝙧𝙚𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙤𝙣, 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙪𝙢𝙖 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮, 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩/𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙩, 𝙝𝙮𝙙𝙧𝙖 𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙧, 𝙛𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙛𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙮
