   Summary

   After surviving HYDRA, brainwashing, cryogenic freezing, and the end of the world more times than feels fair, Bucky Barnes is convinced he’s done being surprised.

   Then reality tears open and drops him into the irradiated ruins of Boston and the Commonwealth quickly proves him wrong.

   The wasteland is violent, absurd, and held together with duct tape and stubborn hope. Nora fits right in: Minuteman General, fixer of impossible problems, and a woman who refuses to let the world break her.

   Bucky thinks he might fit right in too.

   -----

   Takes place immediately following the events of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.

   Buckle in, this is a long one. Story is fully written.

   Updates on Saturday, Tuesday, and Thursday.
