Summary:
Ever since Steve could remember, he always wanted to do what was right. So orphaned young and alone, Hydra offered him a chance to be part of something more, to help free the world, to save it.

Steve took it without question.

Years later, he found himself at war with the Americans and the notorious Soldier, slowly coming to the realisation that things were not what they seemed to be at all. But time had never been kind - least of all to Steve - and it was way too late for regrets.

(Or the AU where Steve was Hydra but somehow ended up becoming a hero anyway, because some things were just inevitable)
