Summary:

The Winter Soldier’s mask never falls off when he fights Captain America on the overpass and the helicarrier. That doesn’t stop the Soldier from recognizing Captain America and wondering why the man’s face is haunting his scattered memories.

After HYDRA falls, the Soldier appoints himself three missions: figure out his connection to Captain America, develop an optimal self-care routine, and re-establish his own identity in a world where he isn’t at HYDRA’s beck and call. When he unexpectedly encounters Captain America and his team of Avengers, he must figure out how to honor the man he used to be without sacrificing the man he’s become, all while hiding the face he shares with James Buchanan Barnes.

Written for the Captain American Reverse Big Bang 2019. Cross-fill for Stucky Bingo 2019, square: “identity porn.”
