Steve/Bucky, Clint/Natasha, Tony/Pepper
Awesome story that shows the depth and heartbreak of true friendship and a love that lasted through hell. Tony opens his door to find Captain America and the Winter Soldier on his doorstep, On the run and injured Steve went to the only person he was sure that could help. The story is nonstop action, with a lot of angst, horrible scenes of torture, moments of humor, the depths that men can sink to, brainwashing, conditioning a human and what lengths someone will go to for the person they love. In too many stories Steve comes off as a plastic, perfect, innocent figure. This story shows the man that lead attack operations behind enemy lines in WWII. Someone who knows the cost and when necessary is perfectly willing to kill to protect those he loves. The reactions from Bucky as he slowly regains his memories is truly heartbreaking. There is no quick fix in the story and this is only the beginning there will be more in the sequel. The scene where Bucky decides to leave and Steve lets him shows that sometimes love is not enough. Tony finally realizes that he has a family and the other team members realize that even without S.H.I.E.L.D. they have a home and a safety net. They are not alone and they will teach Hydra that targeting the Avengers is a mistake.
