Bucky Barnes does not fall from the train in the Alps. Steve Rogers does not go missing in the crash-landing of the Valkyrie. Instead, they go back to Brooklyn, they get a new apartment, and they try to start over.
In 1946, Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter get married.
In 1952, Bucky Barnes marries, too.
They have children, they go to work, they struggle with domestic life after their years at war. And throughout it all, despite it all, Bucky Barnes is irrevocably in love with Steve Rogers.
This is the epitome of a slow burn. This fic follows an AU where Steve and Bucky both live through history, together, creating a family. The family dynamics are perfect and the worldbuilding is iconic. I would recommend this to someone who really likes slow burns and happy endings. 10/10
