In an alternate universe, a mission took place, deep within the Swiss Alps. Steve Rogers, Captain America, and loyal childhood friend, Bucky Barnes, took on the forces of HYDRA, capturing Arnim Zola. It was not without loss. However, this time, it was Steve who fell off the train, suspended in ice until Soviet Union scouts discovered the man, hiding him for years to come.
In a final attempt to stop HYDRA and avenge his friend, Bucky Barnes takes up the mantle as Captain America. Even before he was frozen under the ice, he felt something was wrong inside. But after nearly 70 years of being frozen, he feels more out of place than ever. He's unsure how to adjust and struggles with upholding the mantle as Captain America, uncertain if he's fit for the role. In the midst of the chaos, a familiar face from his past comes back to haunt him. How will he be able to balance his new responsibilities and life, while still holding onto his old one?
TL;DR: In this MCU AU, Steve was the one who fell off the train, and in his honor, Bucky takes up the mantle as Captain America.

since I first met you.❞

hushed whispers,
teasing breaths,
lingering touches.
