DESCRIPTION; "This job... we try to save as many people as we can. Sometimes that doesn't mean everybody. But if we can't find a way to live with that, next time... maybe nobody gets saved."

At the end of the day Steve did save everybody. He saved Bucky from Tony, his team from the government, the world from the Sokovia Accords. Some time would probably have to pass for things to blow over, and then everything would go back to normal. Couple of days. Tops. After all Team Cap saved everybody, showing the world how dangerous the accords were, how easily they could be abused. Even their supporters had to come to their senses now.

Yet five days after Siberia nobody feels safe. Things don't calm down and suddenly it's again Steve against the rest of the world. Only now it's not some international organization or government but the people. The ones he had saved. Slowly Captain America must realize that they don't feel saved but angry, hurt and scared.

The people demand justice for those who were really trying to save them and paid the price for it.

REVIEW; Nicolle / katsudone

This is hands-down one of the most amazing and realistic fan-fictions I have encountered. All the characters stay true to who they are despite the obviously biased author.  It explores the legal side of the Avengers, the aftermath of the civil war, the emotional weight it had on the characters, and how full of shit most of them are. No one is excused, not even Captain  American, for the damaged caused to the entire world. The public clearly expresses how they feel about the superhero business. The story is 156,575 words of the immediate aftermath from all sides of the spectrum, divided into 32 chapters of trying to figure everything out. Nobody's Heroes is in no way a Fix-It Fic, with no redemption for the villains, which makes it even better.

For those who prefer a shorter version of the story to test the water, the same author wrote Don't Come Back Crawling Back To Me. Same story about the same characters facing the same issues compressed to one chapter.

I will provide the links to the story below. In addition, if anyone would like an invitation to join Archive of Our Own, message me and I will send you one.
