The Rook - (Bucky Barnes X OC)

She learned how to stay alive.
He learned how to survive orders.
When the systems that broke them begin to collapse, she finds herself face to face with the man she lost; not as a ghost, not as a memory, but as something unfinished and painfully real. Pulled into the same fight, the same falling ground, and the same impossible decisions, they are forced to navigate truth, trust, and restraint in the narrow space between survival and wanting more.
The Rook continues where The Crow left off: a study in restraint, tension, and the unbearable intimacy of choosing someone while the world is still burning.
