Summary
Persephone knows she should have left Brock years ago, long before their daughter Olivia was born. She's convinced herself that things could be worse, so she takes whatever abuse he dishes out to give Ollie all the perks of an upper-class life. One night, he goes too far, and Seph can't ignore the truth any longer. A gilded cage is still a cage, after all—the bars are just a little prettier to look at.
Five years ago, Bucky moved to the Texas Gulf Coast with Steve, Nat, and Sam after receiving a medical discharge from the Army and divorce papers in the same week. When he meets Ollie, a precocious five-year-old girl who loves all things firetrucks, it doesn't take him long to realize that everything he ever wanted is right in front of him—or just across the street. All he has to do is be willing to fight for it.
Content warning: Contains themes of prior/current domestic violence and its aftermath, PTSD, and the healing process. I have tried to tag triggers accordingly, but please let me know (don't be an asshole about it) if I missed anything and I will update the tags. I dislike accidental triggers too.
