    Summary

    You are not a saint. You are not a hero. You’re barely even a living person, because living people have lives that extended beyond work and their apartment. But you’re not quite nobody, either. You’re too much, and not enough, and just in the shadows with a prayer to be saved that isn't genuine and secrets that mean nothing.

    They should’ve meant nothing.

    Yet here you are. In more danger than usual, being threatened by Hydra without knowing why, and being assigned a security detail you don’t want by Captain America.

    Bucky Barnes is good at his job. You’re not going to die.

    But you might end up strangling him before Hydra gets to either of you.
