    Summary

    Bucky remembers dying, the snap, the dust, the silence that devoured even his name. He remembers the void: endless, weightless, merciless. No time. No body. No breath. Only the ache of existing nowhere at all.
    And then, light. A heartbeat. The drag of air into lungs that shouldn’t exist.
    Bucky wakes where he vanished: the same field in Wakanda, the same sun bleeding through the trees, but five years later. The world is too alive, too sharp, and something inside him won’t stop echoing. Another pulse beneath his skin. Another soul breathing with his own.
    Then he sees him.
    Zemo. Seated on a fallen tree, his prison uniform stark against the green, reading as if none of it were strange. Their eyes meet, and the air shivers between them.
    A tether pulled tight. A bond born in the void.
    Bucky came back from the dead.
    But he didn't come back alone.

    Summary

    Imprisoned in the Raft, Zemo found solace in letters from Bucky, until without warning, Bucky stopped replying. Six months of silence after that left Zemo haunted by fear.
    Bucky, struggling with lost memories and strange feelings for Zemo while off the grid, uncovered a chilling truth.: Zemo had tried to kill himself in the Raft during those six months. Rushing to the floating prison, Bucky discovered Zemo was not suicidal at all, but the target of an assassination, hidden by Ross.
    Determined to protect him, Bucky arranged for Zemo’s transfer to the Avengers' Compound, but days later, Roxxon demanded he be moved to Riker’s. Their transport was then ambushed in another attempt on Zemo’s life. Now fugitives, they must uncover who wants Zemo dead, and why Bucky feels drawn to him, a love story HYDRA has apparently erased from his mind.

    Summary

    Baron Helmut Zemo has been alone on the Raft for several years after the last clandestine mission he took with Wilson and Barnes. Lonely and in existential stasis, he spends his time imagining stars on the ceiling of his cell and reliving vignettes of memory in his dreams. That is, until an unfamiliar woman comes to him with a proposal—that he help the C.I.A. in the recovery of an escaped fugitive outside the States. Unimpressed with the notion, his first impulse is to refuse…that is, until a very familiar emissary comes to ask instead.

    Bucky Barnes has accepted the fact that for now he’s on loan to whatever government agency needs him in return for continued support of his freedom. When the Director of the C.I.A. asks him to again work with Baron Zemo on a mission to find a rogue Soviet super soldier in the wilderness of Canada, he’s at first reluctant…but only until he reminds himself that at least Zemo can appreciate aspects of him which have left him unable to relate to most civilians. It kills him to admit, but goddamn it…Zemo knows him, and right now that’s all Bucky wants in the world.

    Bucky’s only option remaining is to become Zemo’s husband, and it seems like making the best of a bad situation.
    But perhaps, it won't be so bad after all.
