Ooooh. I listened to this with the accompanying song playing in the background, and wow, sudden feels that I did not know I had! What a great way to contrast these two worlds then to look at them through Darcy's eyes? The strength of the emotions, the conflict and cohesion and this sudden connection to almost-complete strangers with the Avengers (loving all the snippets/glimpses of their 'home' life, by the way) against how shallow and mild her 'real' home life is.

I listened to this with the accompanying song playing in the background, and wow, sudden feels that I did not know I had!This is one of those "did it as a one-off" things that was mostly to try and externalize (and therefore deal with) some stuff I've been dealing with re: my family for years. None of the conversations or moments are directly taken from anything, and I've never had the nerve to actually look at my mom and tell her how I feel about the world she tries to live in (though I've come close a few times) - but I definitely have that same sense of living in a completely different reality than my biological family. Or some of them, at least. I love them, I want to see them and spend time with them, but it's stressful because I feel like I have to pretend. (I have similar ( ... )
