This is so good! Seriously, like I said, if only Trapper had had this much depth on the show. But it's nice that you're picking up the slack. =P

God, the line about Hawkeye not being able to handle kids. So heartbreaking. Oh Hawkeye, I want to hug you, so much.

Great work!

I MISSED WRITING FOR THIS FANDOM. And, well, you know my love for Trapper is unending--I have this whole mental backstory for him, and it just might get written sometime. Because they totally slacked on the show--he was supposed to have depth like this, but noooo.

Man, yeah, I don't think Hawkeye can handle kids under, like, eight at this point. Definitely not five and under. Poor dude.

Thank you!

Oh, I like this very much. It's such great back(forward?)story for Trapper and your portrayal of him and Hawkeye so many years later, not having spoken since we saw them on the show, still really rings true.

Thank you very much! I'm glad my version of Trapper's life worked so well for you, and the relationship between him and Hawkeye.

This is great! I confess I'm not much of a Trapper fan, but you really make me like him here. Very nice work!

I'm really happy to hear that! I love Trapper, so anyone else liking him as a result is a great thing.

I'm so glad! I was hoping you'd like how this turned out. I'd been turning your request over in my mind, trying to make it work, and I'm glad it did.

Poor broken Hawkeye T_T this ended way too soon.

I've got more from this particular post-war 'verse brewing; hopefully I can post something soon.

Thanks for reading!
