    Summary

    It's March of 1954; Steve Rogers has been back in the past, and married to Peggy Carter, for the last four years. It's a life, and a fairly simple one at that, but it's not all it's cracked up to be. Turns out, nostalgia isn't the best reason to make a life decision, especially one regarding what era to live in and how to live.

    It's been four years, and Steve misses Bucky, like a limb, but it's a decision he's made and no matter what he might want, he can't go back on it now. Besides, there's not enough Pym Particles to change it now anyway. And he can't leave Peggy behind again, can he?

    And then one day a sudden electrical storm changes everything, and a man he never thought he would see again, is waiting in his home when Steve comes home from work.

    Bucky's here for a visit - only two weeks before he needs to return to his own time. But with Bucky right in front of him again, Steve's suddenly lost; he's trapped between a rock and a hard place; he made Peggy a promise, but he also loves Bucky with all his heart. Does Steve still have a chance with the actual love of his life, or has he destroyed any chance of that life when he left for a misguided attempt at a life with Peggy?
