Set in an AU/MCU-inspired suburb of upstate New York, Y/N Rogers, 22, is Steve Rogers’ daughter, discovers her longtime boyfriend Joel—Bucky Barnes’ son—cheated on her. As Y/N spends more time around Bucky, she begins to notice lingering looks and quiet moments charged with something neither of them is willing to name. Drawn to his steadiness, maturity, and the kind of attention she’s always craved from an older man, Y/N finds herself questioning her boundaries, her loyalty, and what it truly means to want something forbidden—especially when it could change everything. Bucky soon realizes he cares about Y/n in a romantic way.
