Summary
When Bucky is hit by a spell and de-aged to six-years-old, Steve brings him home, knowing he’s the only one who can care for him. Wracked with guilt, Steve initially ignores Bucky to focus on getting the spell reversed. Until a close call leads to a near disaster, and Steve is forced reevaluate his priorities; the little boy now in his care and what he needs from Steve.
With help from Scott Lang and the rest of his teammates, Steve embraces the role of guardian. He makes mistakes, but also learns to see the world through a child’s eyes, rediscovering things not just about Bucky, but himself as well. As the days pass into weeks filled with trips to the zoo, giant teddy bears, and the sounds of Bucky’s giggles, Steve is faced with a difficult choice; allow Bucky to grow up happy and free, never knowing what his future holds, or reverse the spell and turn him back into an adult, with all the pain that life entails. Either choice will come at a cost, one both of them, but especially Bucky, will have to pay. But maybe, just maybe, with a little bit of luck, they’ll find their way and remember not only their love for each other, but how to play, carrying that new spark with them into the future and whatever it may hold.
