   Summary

   "I remember your hands," Bucky whispered, his metal arm trembling. "But I don't remember if you were trying to save me or ruin me."

   Alexei Vlasov didn't want to be a hero. He just wanted the screaming in his own head to stop-a parting gift from his years as a forced Hydra medic. When he crosses paths with a hiding Bucky Barnes, the instinct is to run. Instead, they share a roof, a silence, and a history heavier than concrete.

   What to expect:
   slow burn (strangers to reluctant allies to mutual anchors)
   Domestic safehouse routines and quiet healing
   Bucky being incredibly protective of Alex's physical limits
   mostly fluff and healing for now between them
