Summary: When Steve Rogers disappeared into the ice, Peggy Carter considered it her duty to stand watch over the daughter Steve never knew he had. She watched from a distance, ensuring Steve’s legacy was safe, extending her watch to Steve’s grandson.
As her mental faculties declined, she charged the only person she truly trusted, Phil Coulson, to continue her vigil. Project codename: Sentry.
When Tony DiNozzo vanishes off the streets of D.C, Phil forces Fury to take him to see Steve Rogers so they can enlist the aid of the Avengers in finding Steve’s grandson.
Reccer's Notes: Long and detailed and multi-layered. The author states they they didn't like "the direction they took Steve Rogers in the MCU franchise," and wrote the story to "put him on a different path before he goes completely off the ethical rails." She succeeded incredibly well, twisting MCU canon to fix the problematic aspects, with smart! competent! Tony DiNozzo as the catalyst that helps everyone deal with their pasts and all their changing circumstances... including the new powers that he himself has acquired. Settle in for a thoroughly satisfying and rattlin' good read.
Previously recc'd in Dec, 2021, for amnesty.
Content Notes: Allusions to torture as a method of mind-control.
