Modern Royalty: The Other Carter // Steve Rogers

[18+] Sarah was never the golden girl of the Carter family. That title belonged to her sister, Sharon. Sarah was the artsy, rebellious one. So she left it all behind. New York, the Carter legacy, and her best friend... Steve. Now, five years later, she's back. And not as the other Carter, but as Hollywood's hottest new obsession. Red carpets, viral interviews, and a painstakingly crafted public image the world just cannot get enough of. There's just one problem, though. Steve's not the same boy she left behind. He's older, guarded... and about to marry her sister in the most politically flamboyant wedding America has ever seen! The media calls it a fairytale, S.H.I.E.L.D. sees a goldmine, but beneath this royal spectacle, wounds are clear as day. As the media frenzy grows and old wounds reopen, Sarah finds an unlikely ally in the one man who understands what it means to be haunted by the past: Bucky Barnes. But Hollywood fame comes with a price. And Sarah Carter is no exception. Fair warning, "Modern Royalty: The Other Carter" is not your run-of-the-mill love triangle or second chance romance. It's a slow, angsty implosion. It's a story about celebrity, legacy, public image, and the devastating (read: delicious) fallout when the world's most perfect fairytale starts to crumble. No smut, but oh, so much angst!
