I'm really glad that you enjoyed it so much. If it feels like I wrote it for you, then I did! No, I would never leave anyone hanging with what happened to Gretel, believe me--there was no way I was going to do anything with her, other than imagine some fantasy scenarios of the adventures of Sgt. Barnes and Gretel the Howling Commando, where she didn't end up in some cushy life living until she was 20 and having a ball.

There were no real mustards, of course, but I think Bucky would never miss the chance to get in digs at Hipster Brooklyn, you know? I'm sure Bucky's presents were pretty amazing.
