4 parts Ongoing MatureThey were lovers once, before Hydra tore their world apart. Before she became the White Widow and he was turned into a weapon. Years later, after the dust of Endgame has settled, Everly Rogers and Bucky Barnes are left with a government-issued apartment, memories they refuse to speak of, and a hatred that's easier to feel than the heartbreak beneath it. Their things remain packed in boxes, silence fills the spaces between them, and every night brings nightmares neither of them can escape. They don't talk about the war, about Hydra, or about the love that burned bright enough to leave scars. They just survive, day by day, avoiding each other's eyes and pretending the past isn't still bleeding into the present. But some flames refuse to die, no matter how much you try to forget.
