So, the Canada Day BBQ crowd left and I finally got to check my e-mail -- and there it was, the notification that "my" story was up! And as I said on AO3, it was the perfect end to a perfect day. I loved everything about the piece --from the way you took the basic arc of the original, flipped the central imagery on its head and created something so completely your own; to the sauerkraut making grannies and the bloody nose. Just wonderful, filled with emotional subtlety and truth.

Oh, and SHIELD evac teams do need to work on their timing! ;-)
