Oooh. Your stories are always sooo good. I don't even have words.

Aw, thank you! <3 I'm really glad you seem to enjoy reading them, even when they bounce around between characters and story lines.

Oh this is so good. I love how Thor's attitude towards battle "comes down to Earth" with experience and growth. And how his love for Jane is his what drives him and gives him hope and light.

I also love the Widow and Cap parts. He has reached their knowledge of warfare but they haven't yet reached his knowledge of present happiness and love.

You know, the pun (irony?) of that phrase didn't even occur to me as I was writing this. Clearly I need to turn in my pundit card. But I'm glad that you enjoyed it! I'm always fascinated by how characters grow and change, especially when Thor can say, without a hint of sarcasm, "In my youth I courted war," and mean last year.

And yes, both Natasha and Steve are warriors and soldiers in their own ways, but are as adrift as he used to be. Perhaps they'll find that happiness someday. :)
