What with house renovations, hockey tournaments, arctic cold and snowstorms, things have been hectic Chez Zed, and I've barely been on my computer, let alone online. But I have completed fic! And it's a new instalment of Captain America Has a Fella series.

Captain America Says a Goodbye (4929 words)
Fandom: Captain America (Movies), Marvel Cinematic Universe
Pairing: James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers
Additional Tags: Outside POV, Offscreen Canonical Character Death
Summary: When Steve first arrives in her dance studio, she and Peggy are his last surviving ties to the past. He waits nearly a month to tell her about Peggy, but then blurts out "Peggy's still alive," after dinner one Sunday, when Liz is in the kitchen cleaning up the dishes.

"That's wonderful!" Audrey says, but then she notices how tight the corners of his mouth are, notices the shadows in his eyes. "Isn't it?"

"She has Alzheimer's," Steve says, his tone blunt and flat, like it's something he's trained himself to say with absolutely no emotion.

Or how one elderly USO show girl helps two super soldiers deal with an inevitable loss.
