  Summary

  James "Bucky" Barnes was a man lost to time. Rosemary was a woman who'd already lost too much. So when she discovers a broken, bruised, and long ago presumed-dead soldier taking shelter in her paint studio, she can't quite help herself.
  Maybe this time around she'll be able to save a life.

  This fic follows Bucky and Rose over the course of a decade, through all the ups and downs of the MCU during the 2014-2024 timeline.
