Re: you get the stream of consciousness while reading!

::flails at you::

OMG, it has been FOREVER since we stream-of-conciousness-ed at each other and I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW HAPPY I AM THAT IT'S OVER THIS FIC, because writing it, the snark and the banter and all, kept me from bursting into tears more nights than not these last weeks. I may not ever be rational about this one.

And, yow, I am so happy you loved Steve, because it gave me great joy that he fell so easily into the moral center of this little world, because he IS Captain America and that's how it should be, but I wasn't sure I could pull it off until he wouldn't let Darcy into Clint's room while they debriefed but she was totally okay with it. And then he had to be the one who could pry Clint's issues out of him AND make them go away, again, because he's Captain America and what he says, goes. Even when he's delivering the lectures (which he totally did so Clint wouldn't have to, but also because it's HIS TEAM, so he doesn't just do the easy stuff.)

As for Clint's issues--hah, omg, he has the canon for about as bad of a lovelife as it gets, almost as bad as comics-verse Tony (who, of course, doesn't get Steve as anything other than friends, poor guy.) So 90% of what he's saying is how it's played out before (I skipped over the one who killed him--talk about baggage) but yeah, all kind of wrapped up in the age issue, too. NOT THAT DARCY GIVES A SHIT. And I'm sort of taking it as canon that Natasha would totally egg Darcy on in a cage match against some of Clint's former issue-raisers. :D

And then I went completely insane and the holiday party presented itself and I'd already written Fury being the one to take care of Natasha in the earlier part (in the comics, they go way back [and are tangled together with Wolverine, but that's another story entirely!]) and I couldn't resist them showing up and making peoples' brains explode.

To sum up: I HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH THIS AND I MAY HAVE TO DRAW HEARTS AROUND YOUR COMMENT AND KEEP IT FOREVER AND EVER. ♥ ♥ ♥
