"Some scars are louder than silence." "Some echoes never fade." She's fire and fury, all sharp edges and unfinished grief. He's silence and shadow, worn down by years of ghosts. Recovery was never part of the mission. But now, it's the only one that matters. Wherever Yelena goes, Bucky-James in her own words-follows. Not ahead. Not behind. Always beside her, like an echo stitched into her soul. Not the crimson ones, no, Bucky is better than all that. Through sleepless nights, haunted memories, and the slow, aching journey toward peace, they learn that healing doesn't have to be lonely. That healing doesn't mean they have to be alone. Two broken soldiers. One unspoken promise: "I'm not going anywhere." A story of trauma, tenderness, quiet bond, and everything that destroyed them that just might save them both.
