( THE FUTURE IS WAITING, DARLING )
EDITH RUTHERFORD HAS BEEN FRIENDS WITH STEVE ROGERS EVER SINCE SHE FOUND HIM GETTING BEAT UP IN AN ALLEYWAY. She listens to him rant about the world and how he wishes to join the military while she talks about her wishes to see what the world is like in the future. And maybe she falls in love with his selfless nature and reckless behavior.
She didn't expect him to become Captain America. Edith didn't expect to lose him.
She also doesn't expect to see him ever again, but Steve Rogers always did surprise her.

( YOU ONLY NEED TO TAKE IT IN HAND )
"Victory, they cry, and I cheer with bullets clenched between my teeth and a stomach roiling with leftover grenades.
Victory, they cry, and I clap with my fingers still around a trigger and a heart beating in time the staccato rhythm of gunfire.
Victory! they cry. Freedom! they declare. Home! they say.
and I follow the trail of the empty bullet casings of the last echoing threads of death rattles of the trenches scarred into every countryside of the bombed out buildings staring like emptied skulls– I follow the trail back home.
Ah, but no one ever said Victory just means surviving longer until the skies drop snow instead of explosives until home is a dream you don't recognize in reality until your skin know nothing but the feel of camouflage and your feet know to keep marching in their sleep.
No one ever said if you hold on to surviving long enough your lungs will remember how to breathe and your heart will remember how to beat and your bones will remember how to stand but you will not remember how to live."
