If anyone wants to know why Steve turned into my favorite member of the Avengers after the movie, this fic perfectly demonstrates why. The fic itself doesn't have any Avengers spoilers (spoilers for Captain America, obviously) but the author's notes does have some very minor spoilers, but really, really passable.
Nor Dreams We Fear Really, it gave shivers down my spine. He really needs a hug. *volunteers*
Short fic, 800 words, PG-13, mentions of war, loss, grief and angst.
