"Do you ever worry that we're not supposed to be happy?" Loss has long been synonymous with the Rogers name. But that was supposed to be changing. A pardon, a new apartment, and the love of her life. Free, free from Hydra, learning to be free of her guilt. For almost two years, everything was changing for the better. And then Y/N Rogers was given a brutal reminder of the legacy her name carries. When the dust settles, she is alone. And worse yet. This time, she's the one who survived. In this world of strangers, she'll do anything, even the impossible, to rewrite the past.

"A gift." One guard says to someone else in the room as he leaves. I groan in pain and scrunch myself into a ball, squeezing my eyes shut. Seconds later I hear shuffling and then someone is beside me. "Y/N?" Asks a voice. No- Bucky's voice. My whole body relaxes and I let out a soft breath. He's ok. ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ Staying together has always been the most important thing to Y/N Rogers. After the death of her mother left her an orphaned 15-year-old, her friendship with her older brother Steve and best friend Bucky mattered more than ever. She latched onto them, finding some bittersweet solace in their closeness. In turn, they finished raising her. The three were inseparable. Even now, six years later, nothing has changed. So when Bucky and Steve both leave to fight in the war the last thing she's going to do is stay in Brooklyn. Nothing's too far if it keeps their trio together. Not leaving everything she knows behind, not shoving down feelings she's refused to acknowledge for years, not even risking her life time and time again. It's the kind of commitment fueled by an infinite amount of love, but guaranteed to end in disaster, every single time.
