Weekly Fic Rec: Beyond the Burn by eyres

Link to AO3

Author’s summary:

 

Steve saves the universe - but it takes him awhile to be okay again.

 

In the end, it’s like the snap never happened at all. Time rewinds on itself like a yo-yo, wrapping up the long thread of years that the world spent in mourning and chaos until all of it is tucked neatly away, out of sight.

 

Except for Steve.

 

All speculation. No Endgame movie spoilers.
