NEVER COMING HOME

Two weeks since his best friend died and now Steve is falling to his death, his mission failed. He could cry. Who would blame him? He was seconds from death, fear piqued, and yet...no tears fall? See, he promised Bucky he would be with him 'til the end of the line. Bucky had kept his end of the promise, and now it was time for Steve to keep his. And who was Steve to keep a man waiting? Captain America fell down to the ice and welcomed the darkness like an old friend.

Until the light flooded, and all hell broke loose once more.
