Thanks! I thought about continuing past where they turn back into adults, and maybe someday I'll work on something set afterwards, but it felt like ending where I did worked the best. Probably I didn't trust myself to handle it!

I'm a huge fan of the "friends are family you choose for yourself" trope, and the Avengers are just perfect for stories that involve that sort of thing - so it was fun dragging in all the characters I felt I could juggle.

Hee, if I got a good Hamptons setting right, it was pure accident. I had a work trip scheduled to East Hampton right as Sandy was bearing down on the East Coast, so it obviously was canceled and never rescheduled. So it was all Google Maps and luck!
