Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes

~°We Were Three Until We Weren't °~

After the dust of the Blip settled and the final battle against Thanos left the world fractured, Steve Rogers found unexpected solace in you—someone who offered warmth, grounding, and a future untouched by war. When Bucky Barnes rejoined Steve, the bond between the three felt like a rare kind of healing: a throuple forged in trust, tenderness, and the hope of rebuilding.

But cracks began to form.

What started as minor disagreements slowly deepened into fault lines. Steve and Bucky, bound by decades of shared trauma and loyalty, began to close ranks—defending each other with a kind of instinctive protectiveness that left you stranded on the emotional sidelines. Their words, though unintentional, cut deep. Their glances, their silences, their history… all began to feel like walls.

You tried to hold on. Tried to speak up. But in a relationship built for three, it started to feel like there were only two seats at the table—and you were always standing just outside the frame.
