After the fall of HYDRA, Bucky Barnes is a man untethered -haunted, hunted, and held together by the thinnest thread of will. When he's brought to the Avengers compound to heal, he expects clinical detachment and judgment. What he finds instead is Lily Bloom, a sweet, stubborn doctor with warm eyes, floral dresses, and a quiet determination to see the person behind the weapon. Lily thought she left SHIELD behind for good. But when she's asked to help rehabilitate the infamous Winter Soldier, she agrees on her terms: no lab coats, no walls and no treating him like a project.
As trauma surfaces and trust slowly blooms, the lines between healer and patient begin to blur. But the past isn't done with any of them and when the ghosts come calling, they might be the only thing keeping each other from falling apart again.
A slowburn of found peace, small kindnesses, emotional intimacy, and dancing in the shadows.
