He Chose Her - post-endgame Steve & reader ex

Steve Rogers promised you the world. All he had to do first was one last mission: a time-heist to bring back everyone who'd disappeared after Thanos snapped his fingers.

You could think of dozens of ways the mission could go wrong but you knew better than to try and stop him. After all, it was the only thing standing in the way of you, Steve and forever. Wasn't it?

Unbeknownst to you, everything changed the moment he laid eyes on Peggy Carter.

This is a story full of regret, anger and grief. It's a gift to everyone who still has unresolved anger towards Steve Rogers for choosing to stay in the past.
