In the aftermath of SHIELD's collapse, Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff grow closer as they face new enemies and old ghosts. From partners to something more, their journey is one of trust, heartache, and resilience, set against the backdrop of a world on the brink of destruction. As their bond deepens, they're forced to confront not only their enemies but also their own feelings. "You've always been the one I could count on, Steve. I just... didn't realize how much that mattered until now." "We'll find a way, Nat. We always do." ---------------------------------------------------- "You and I... we've always fought our battles together. But I never thought you'd become my reason to keep fighting." "Nat, you've been more than a reason. You're the part of me that I didn't know I needed until I almost lost it." Cover Page credit goes to Chloe on Pinterest.
