Oh wow, that never occurred to me, to do a timestamp about Sam and Bucky's flying lessons. Ha. I actually like thinking of that, especially since Sam gets so outraged about Bucky's terrible behavior.

OMG YES

I always meant to do a timestamp of the throat-tearing incident in Dream of Caramel, which Min correctly advised me to cut a lot out of, but I never felt like anyone would really care, so it's always sat there. But I'll think about that--I'm not sure many people would care about this, either, but if you are interested that could be fun.

Aww, I would care! I'd love it!

I thought about having them go back and just climb down, but then it seemed like well hell, it's summer, Bucky would like to learn to use the wings, he can carry Steve with him…

That's awesome, it's so great because it was like a total reclaiming of that awful trauma for them, Bucky falling and Steve watching him and both of them really losing their young selves, their lives, at that moment, and it ties in with resurrection imagery too. I loved it. It felt like they really earned it.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I was really worried about the epilogue ruining the ending, like it would…I don't know, mitigate the ending of the real story, but I got talked into doing it.

NOOOOOO IT WAS GREAT. I love how it echoes the "where are we going, the future" line for one thing, which turns so dark in their canon, and the bit about closure, which typically I hate as a concept because it sounds like you close the door on something and it's final or whatever, but you really made it something so much better, about how it's ongoing, a real process. And they've been through SO MUCH, I do want them to be happy, and it's in a realistic and earned way.

(I just hope you want to keep on writing your fics even after CW comes out! I'm sort of afraid it will eclipse TWS and nobody will want to write stuff with that dynamic anymore.)
