   Summary

   Sergeant James “Bucky” Barnes believes he endured HYDRA alone. Pulled from decades of captivity and torture, he struggles to rebuild a life stolen piece by piece by the Winter Soldier program.

   Nurse Josephine Reed was created to contain him. To heal the Winter Soldier so he could be broken again. Instead, she became his only mercy.

   This is a story of trauma, recovery, and love that endures beyond memory.
   Some stories break you.
   Some stories heal you.
   This one asks you to earn both.
