Written for a few challenges: Fandom Snowflake Challenge on DW and the Genuary Fic Event on Tumblr. This was a response to my own lyric challenge I created for Snowflake, with the song lyric: When the last of your friends have gone, you learn a whole lot about hanging on and on. from "House in the Trees" by Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness.

“Captain America: The Living Legend & Symbol of Courage,” the sign out front proclaimed. Steve snorted. The only thing legendary about him was the fact that he lived, long after he should have died.

He walked past signs showing his height, before and after the serum, followed by a replica of a motorcycle he’d ridden. The walls were decorated with stories of his victories throughout the war. Steve didn’t read them. He didn’t have to. He already knew what happened.

And then he saw the uniforms.
