    Summary

    The biggest lies are usually the ones we tell ourselves, and Steve has been telling lots of lies, especially lately. That in spite of how he can’t stop chewing his fingernails bloody, the never ending nightmares chasing him out of bed, and the way merely seeing ice sends him into a panic, he’s fine.

    But when his latest mission with The Avengers goes horribly wrong, Steve can no longer keep lying, not even to himself.

    Diagnosed with PTSD and placed on medical leave, initially Steve is resentful, stubbornly refusing the idea there’s anything that can make it better. Until Sam suggests a Service Dog, and introduces him to James Buchanan Barnes, a fellow vet and trainer who swears one of his dogs can help, if only Steve can summon enough bravery to take a leap of faith and accept a four-legged companion in his life.

    What follows is a long and winding journey of fear, doubt and self-recrimination. But also hope, acceptance and redefining what it means to be a hero, as Steve finally faces the issues that have been haunting him his entire life.

    There is also a lot of fur, conversations with dogs, and a cross-country road trip, as Steve rebuilds his life and maybe, just maybe, falls in love along the way.

    Summary

    Seven hundred and sixty-nine days. That is how long Steve Rogers has been imprisoned on the Raft.
    Only he wasn’t placed in the ordinary cells his teammates were when they had been arrested for helping him and Bucky after the signing of the Accords. Instead, on that fateful day, Ross told the former Captain with a gleeful smile on his face that he would be receiving a brand-new cell made especially for him.
    The soldier was held in place with arm and leg shackles chained to a metal collar around his neck and surrounded by six heavily armed guards ordered to use severe force in the event that Steve were to move. Between the heads of the guards in front of him, the super-soldier could see the wall ahead of them slide open like a door to reveal his new home.
