Everyone in the Avengers knows that Bucky Barnes doesn’t part with things easily. Weapons? Sure. Apartments? Fine. Entire identities? He’s had to. But the one thing he never expected to give away was his dog tags. When he started dating you—a former Red Room Widow, Yelena Belova’s unofficial little sister, and one of the deadliest women on Earth—he handed them to you with a gruff shrug and told you to keep them somewhere safe. He assumed they’d end up in a jewelry box. A drawer. Maybe tucked into a keepsake box. Months later, he realizes you’ve never taken them off. Not once. And suddenly Bucky Barnes has to confront what it means when someone treasures him more than the memory of the man he used to be. A story about healing, family, found love, protective sisters, meddling Avengers, and a soldier learning that he deserves to be cherished.
