Chapter Summary: The worst was over – hopefully forever. The Weber, no, Strucker siblings were in federal custody but they knew their biggest threat came from the shadows. Steve and Steph finally get to enjoy a bit of married life, with a little help from their friends and they plan how to share their wonderful (and not-so-wonderful) life updates with the ones they love most.
Chapter Notes: Whoa – talk about writer’s block! I was stuck forever between the last chapter and these last 5 when I originally posted this on Ao3, but you guys have the benefit of not needing to wait too long, as I only have to format now. To quote the wise advice of my good friend @MsEnglish101, I didn’t want this series to become one life-threatening peril after another. So now – fluff and happiness! (for the most part). Big thanks to @HMarvels31 who lent me her time, ideas, and wonderful support to help craft this chapter – IF YOU ARE A BUCKY fan, or just a fan of amazing writing – go check her out on Ao3 HMarvels31 !!! Also continued thanks for all the support I get from ALL of you – I’m sorry I’ve been delinquent in responding to all your wonderful, awesome, life-affirming, giddiness-inducing comments – I just continue to struggle to find the work/home/mom-ing balance. I’ll catch up with all of you one of these days. Seriously.
Ellie and Wil knew their days were numbered. The brother and sister were denied bail after their arraignment, thanks to the influence of Captain America and The Avengers. Though they didn’t care about the government penitentiaries in which they currently resided, they knew there was a network of inmates, guards, and prison administrators connected to The Hive who would, before long, have orders to eliminate them, with the highest bounty given to whomever got the job done first, or could promise the most painful demise. They were raised HYDRA, where loyalty was rewarded as long as you were needed, and Ellie knew the best odds for survival lay with her brother. There was no one within The Hive who knew as much about the Serum project as him, and the last she knew, a successful Serum was the organization’s number one priority. She hoped it still was, at least for Wil’s sake. She didn’t hold out as much hope for herself.

Chapter Summary: You thought Ellie Weber was your protector, your friend, and a trusted SHIELD agent. She was none of these things, and you were about to find out through an act of betrayal that took your breath away. Your protectors – Steve and Bucky – weren’t there to save you, in fact, no one was. Your only thought was to save your unborn baby, at any cost necessary. Your enemy’s objective was to sacrifice whomever got in the way of their plans to create the next race of Super Soldiers, and Ellie Weber was really hoping you got in the way.
Chapter Notes: So, this chapter felt weird. I had to rewrite it a bunch of times, and I think it’s because I’m much less sure of myself when it comes to action, rather than personal relationships. Hey, what can I say? I feel very lucky to not have ever been captured by an evil organization and need my superhero husband and best friend to save me. So, I’d love feedback about your thoughts on this chapter – good, bad, or in between. Oh, and ladies and gentlemen – the queen has returned – the bestest beta in the world, @MsEnglish101, this world o’mine is much better because of her.
The first thing he felt was a throbbing headache. As he tried shaking himself awake, Bucky smelled smoke, rocketing him into fight-or-flight mode. The last thing he remembered was Weber getting him, Collins, and Edwards downstairs with a story about a potential threat, being exposed to some kind of airborne sedative, and then getting a large syringe jabbed into his neck. Those thoughts ran pretty quickly through his head, as he realized how close the three of them were to the fire, and that both of his arms were tied to a load-bearing beam.
Warnings: Fluffy lovey dovey times, allusions to sex, closer to a hot-and-heavy PG-13 rating than R, talk of older, well-loved bodies.
Summary: You and Bucky spend a beautifully rainy weekend morning together.
Your favorite way to wake up on a weekend was to the sound of rain. When you heard the pounding rain against the window, saw the sky dark and foreboding, it filled you with a sense of calm relief. You smiled as you stretched lazily under the blankets. It never ceased to amaze you that, at the ripe old age of 45, a warm and cozy bed was almost impossible to leave – but on a rainy weekend? Your smile broadened as you thought of a lazy day ahead.

Chapter Summary: You were man and wife. Married. It was a safe bet that things were going to get worse before they got better, and there wouldn’t be an immediate happily-ever-after, and, unfortunately you were right on both counts. A day and evening filled with love and laughter was followed by a night filled with fear and terror. Just wait – the surprises don’t end there, not by a long shot.
Chapter Notes: Wow, I wrote this in like 2 days! I can’t believe it. I hope it doesn’t seem silly or stupid. I would love to hear what y’all think about this chapter – too far-fetched? (I mean, when you’re working off the premise of being married to Captain America, that is). Thanks for reading, I love hearing from all of you – it reinforces me and makes the time I spend on writing seem much more worthwhile. All my thanks – Steph
You took a deep breath as you slid into the backseat of the car, with Weber and another agent in the front seat. Your dress was wrecked, but you still had your jewelry, which was what was most important to you. You were silent as you were driven to the compound, and grateful that neither agent tried to start a conversation. After a short ride, you pulled up the entrance, lit like a high school football stadium. Dr. Cho’s assistants were waiting for you as you pulled up, and had clearly been briefed on what had just happened. Weber followed behind you towards the medical wing, but the doctor’s staff told her Helen wanted to see you alone, and that it would not take long. Though Weber voiced her displeasure at letting you out of her sight, she agreed to meet up after she did what she needed to do.

Chapter Summary: There were many obstacles to getting there, but it was finally the day. Stephanie and Steve were going to be married. Not even last-minute bad guys and missions could derail this….or could it? Agent Weber’s objective remains the same – to get the final missing element to complete the Super Soldier serum. Whether she had to kill or kidnap to get it, it didn’t matter – she needed to complete the mission she and her brother were born to fulfill. Will Steve and Steph ever be free of his nightmare?
Chapter Notes: Hi all! This chapter was, as always, supported and crafted by @MsEnglish101 – the best beta ever. I hope you like where this goes. I’d love to hear your feedback and comments – I read every single one and love to hear different perspectives. Thanks so much for reading and stay tuned – the story ain’t over yet!
Ellie Weber woke up before her alarm, as usual. She sat up in bed, stretched, and smiled – today was the day. It was the day that a lifetime of service by her grandfather, father, her, and her brother – to Hitler, HYDRA, the Hand, SHIELD – was finally going to be rewarded. Today was the last of Captain America’s life, giving rise to the first day of a new race of warriors. Whomever got in the way of finishing her mission would not live long enough to regret their decision.

Chapter Summary: Getting prepared for a wedding was a lot of work, unless you were lucky enough to be marrying into the Avengers, with access to the unbelievable Pepper Potts and her team of planners. You were able to focus on enjoying yourself, and becoming Mrs. Steven Rogers. Your friends and loved ones showered both you and Steve with attention and fun events, all leading up to the Big Day – but will Big Bad make an appearance?
Chapter Notes: (This note is from when I first published this on A03, thought I’d keepit for nostalgia. Who really reads these here anyway?) Hi everyone! (hides behind hands). I am so sorry it has taken so long for this update. Life has definitely been crazy – work, home, health – all the things that could act up, did, making this story the last on the “to-do” list. Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore and just plunged into finishing it. I would really love to hear your feedback – honestly, it makes my day to read what people are kind enough to take the time to write. I’ve already chopped off a bunch to put in the next chapter, because I was nearing 9,000 words with no end in sight. I didn’t want to chain you to your screen for too long! As always, @MsEnglish101 is just the best beta I could ever ask for – encouraging, smart, funny, and all-around awesome. Thanks again and enjoy. 🙂
In your rush to be realistic and pragmatic, you had truly forgotten what it was like to get swept up in a happy event, let alone one at which you were the center. All the wonderful people in your life seemed to have made a pact that they were going to make it impossible for you to be down-to-earth – they all encouraged you to think about yourself and Steve, to make this wedding about the two of you, and to enjoy every single minute. It was a heady feeling that neither you nor Steve were completely comfortable with, but slowly got used to.
Every single chapter gets better, sweeter, loving,
perfect. As usual, your way with words astounds me, it gives me these visual images that just make me get the happies. Yes, that’s a thing. However, there’s a down side. I just KNOW you are winding up to throw a screaming fast ball of angst right at our heads and hearts. I don’t know that I’m ready for that. Nope, definitely not ready. But I will love it like everything else you do, for sure.
You’ve got a bit before all of the angst. But, yes, it’s coming.

Chapter Summary: Big Bad isn’t dumb, and it’s bad for a reason. The story of how Agent Weber came to be in this position and came to despise Captain America and all he loves is part of a long and hateful history, part of the legacy of HYDRA. Weber’s lineage made it impossible to become anything other than a highly-trained ruthless double agent, with two goals in life – to initiate HYDRA’s resurgence as a force for destruction through the creation of an army of Super Soldiers, and to ensure the safety and security of the only person in life she held dear. Nothing would stop her from making these things happen.
Chapter Notes: HI all! I want to thank each and every one of you for all the love you’ve shown “my baby” (my very first fan fic). I am so glad to hear how you’re loving it. For this chapter, my HUGE GIGANTIC ENORMOUS thanks goes out to @lloeppky – this amazing woman just binged the previous 20 chapters of this fic in like 3 days IN HER SPARE TIME (oh, she’s a teacher, so she has none!). She has left comments on, and reblogged/liked EVERY SINGLE CHAPTER and for that I am so so grateful. Thank you sweetie, I am so thankful for you!
I *really* thought this chapter was going one way when I started, but Weber’s backstory really sucked me in. Given that I hadn’t given much time to explain motivation and history, I took longer on it than I expected. I hope you all enjoy – I would love to hear your feedback, as always. The most wonderful and kind beta, MsEnglish101 always keeps me going, and thanks also to MsZombieCake for her help with the history, particularly the parts that pertain to German military titles, etc. That was invaluable and I hope makes the story more believable.Enjoy!
Germany 1941
“Frau Strucker, we must leave immediately.”
“No! I will not leave without my husband and my son will not leave without his father.”
The sky over the camp burned red, smoke pouring out of the main building. Soldiers ran with the unmitigated panic of those who knew their end was near. Wilhelm Weber Strucker was only 13 years old, but remembered exactly what happened next.

Chapter Summary: As always, reunions with Steve were wonderful, but the one on your birthday was magical. The days and weeks leading up to your ex-husband’s wedding were busy, but also a time for reflection and bittersweet feelings that Steve picked up on. While your life kept going ahead in wonderful and positive directions, behind the scenes the big bad was starting to plan its revenge. The people you trusted to keep you and your family safe were not all what they seemed. Old ties, old wounds, new hate and fresh revenge were about to insert themselves into your happily ever after.
Chapter Notes: Now I know what it’s like to WANT to write like crazy but have life get in the way. Thank you, as always, to @MsEnglish101 for always being there for me and helping me write a story I am truly happy with. If you have a spare minute, let me know what you think – I love reading your comments – they are, without fail, uplifting. Stay tuned!!!!
As you walked over to kiss him and you recognized that he was in his stealth suit and not street clothes, you laughed as a thought came to you. “Did Clint drop you on the roof? Do we need to move somewhere with a landing pad?”
He held onto your waist and leaned against you. “What kind of guy would I be if I didn’t get back for my best girl’s birthday? Anyway, it wasn’t much of a jump.” You swallowed hard, grateful this wasn’t something else he was going to ask you to do. You hoped.
Chapter Summary: So much had happened in the last few days. You got engaged, you were surprised by your wonderful fiancee with a surprise engagement party, and life was pretty good. You were ready for another big step, and not ready for the next step in the criminal investigation into your abduction. Life isn’t always a fantasy, even when you’re engaged to Captain America.
Chapter Notes: Thank you all so much for your kind words and feedback. It really means so much to me, and I love knowing that my little story has made some folks happy or wistful in their day to day lives. As always, @MsEnglish101 is the absolute best beta ever – oh, and a cheerleader for this novice writer. Enjoy and let me know what you think!

The day after your surprise engagement party, your head was a bit foggy, but you were crystal-clear aware of how lucky you were to have so many people care about your happiness. Even though Hallmark would have been proud of your sappiness, your level of desire for your fiance, lying next to you, was definitely not appropriate for a greeting card. You loved waking up next to Steve, it made your entire day better. You knew he’d been wanting that, too, for a long time.
