A set of fucking marriage vows exchanged between Steve Rogers and James "Bucky" Barnes that were powerful enough to break through 70 goddamn years of brainwashing.

we'll be a fine line

the state in a relationship, where you're not specifically in a good nor bad place.

You're not sure how the relationship will work out, but you have hope for the better; maybe not perfect, but better.

It's a fine line.

famous lyrics by the one and only, Harry Styles.

No, please don't go. We'll work it out. I know we have our differences but we can make it work. We'll be a fine line.
