   Summary

   After defeating Thanos, Steve returns the Tesseract to 1970 and makes a choice to stay with Peggy Carter. Their reunion comes with a stipulation at Peggy’s behest: to free the Steve Rogers from her time from his grave of ice, since her Steve’s freedom has no bearing on the events of the future/prime universe. After a surreal meeting of two contrasting doppelgangers (Steve of the prime universe and the Steve fresh from the Arctic ice), they discover the Winter Soldier is overseas enticing the firefight in Vietnam as a tool for Hydra. Although Bucky of the future/prime universe is free of Hydra’s control, this timeline has Bucky trapped and tortured. Will they be able to save Bucky in this chaotic war? And what happens to the Bucky of the future that Steve left behind?

   (Or: 2023!Steve Rogers and 1945!Steve Rogers rescue their best friend from Hydra in the jungles of Vietnam in 1970, and it all falls apart.)
