Can't Go On Without You

23 year old Bucky Barnes is back in Washington D.C. for after an extended and forced hiatus away. His father, Republican Senator George Barnes, has begun his presidential campaign and Bucky has been hired on as the office manager—a job that he is fully prepared to execute to his highest ability so as to gather the requisite recommendation letters that will allow him to get the hell out of the God forsaken city and out from under the impossibly high standards of his family. Becoming enmeshed in the family politics and drama is not part of his plan.Seeing Steve Rogers again for the first time in five years is absolutely not part of his plan.Having all of his past dredged up and forced down his unwilling throat, remembering everything that happened, remembering the reason he left,remembering Steven Grant Rogers—the plan is shattering into a million pieces around him and there is almost nothing he can do to salvage it.
