Jeez, a fanwork a week--too much? I don't even know, considering how crappy I feel about everything. Interludes based on the Civil War trailer, so conjecturey spoilers, I guess.

I am SELFISHLY still glad you are writing the boys (even if your fandom experience got soured, I am so sorry about that). The language in this is really beautiful. I love how you write their reunions, they're so bittersweet.

Thank you--it means a lot to me. I love happy Bucky and Steve reunions, but I also think there would be so many undercurrents running through their interactions, at least at first. So many complications. And even though I've moved away from my love of grim and dark, I still have this love of the bittersweet, yeah. Too many stories have way more emphasis on the bitter though, and I then I get all sad because I want all the happiness for them, only happiness.

I liked it: a bit of calm before it all goes to hell.

Yeah, hee, I have one other part to this, and then I will see if any other interlude aspects come up once we get more trailer footage, but I neeeeed them to have some calm and sweetness before the misery descends on them.

Ugh, no doubt--Civil War looks like a real stab in the heart!
