We have not touched the stars, nor are we forgiven, which brings us back to the hero's shoulders and the gentleness that comes not from the absence of violence but despite the abundance of it.
"He's selfless beyond imagining yet has never lost the secret of being happy with little."
Emersyn Sharp was S.H.I.E.L.D's youngest recruit, Nick Fury's most treasured agent, a reckless and playful woman who could never seem to take things seriously. While many people said she was unprofessional and too mischievous, Emersyn had made a promise to herself ever since Fury rescued her as a teenager: find joy in even the simplest things. She never doubted this constant attitude, but when deep betrayals really begin to tear her apart, Emersyn finds herself struggling to have any hope left for herself.
When her life in S.H.I.E.L.D is suddenly threatened with a deep web of deception, she is forced to pick sides between the outcasts or her family of agents. A certain Captain comes along, dragging her into a mess of conspiracies, and the messiness of love. Through murderous schemes, betrayal and constant fighting, Steve Rogers and Emersyn learn to balance their differences, and dive into the battlefield of their hearts.
OR
IN WHICH a light-hearted and playful agent of S.H.I.E.L.D is paired with the serious and focused Captain America. Both despise each other with a fiery passion to start, but when accidentally caught up in a web of deception and betrayal, the two enemies find that the only way they can survive, is together. Struggling through life or death situations, they learn to set aside their differences and even do what they never thought possible: bond with each other.
A friendship slowly blossoms into love, where Steve Rogers learns the value of the little things, and how one person's hope can change his whole life.

A/N
I suggest you read at least the first 3-5 chapters before giving up on this story :)
this book has everything. If I could take all my romance ideas and pour them into one fic, this is it. There's conflict, drama, arguments, then development, playfulness, teasing banter, enemies to lovers, then sacrifice, selflessness, love. Plot twists, characters change, personal traumas, losing oneself, growth, acceptance. Passionate love, simple love, love in the little things and cute moments, love in intimacy and openness, then when everything seemed to be perfect- loss. Grief, pain, misery, hopelessness. Fighting for the world, fighting for life. One final fight.
It's a journey. It's going to be deep, and moving and painful, but beautiful. I want to express the tragedy and the loveliness of life. I want it to be real.
Savor it.
