Thank you, sweetie. Honestly, your comments have kept me going on this, it's been really discouraging, so it makes me really happy that you liked all those little things because I do it all for you!
I really wondered about that scene with Bucky sassing Rumlow and Zola, if it would be too OTT or not, and the last scene. I just wasn't certain how they would play out. I mean, I made myself cry when I was thinking about that ending a long time ago, and then I saw Inside Out and I bawled like a fucking baby because it was almost like seeing a lot of that come to life. That sense of missing a part of yourself, what you used to be, is weirdly personal to me and it's always hard to know whether something that personal will work in fiction.
Anyways, I'm blabbing but if you're interested the epilogue is up now so it's complete.
