WHAT Last chance for timefuck except not really
WHERE Wherever
WHEN Day 127, whenever

[So, you've been messing around with time.]

[Okay, we've actually been doing that, yeah. Quiet Mounds is still a bit unpredictable, with the seasons and the clocks a little haywire. Today, there's another little pulse of magic. Maybe some of you find yourself back to normal? Or maybe more people are suddenly the wrong age or timeline. Maybe Deadpool shows up. I don't know.]

[Last post for deage/age-up/etc event, though obviously you can continue to backthread or play at your leisure after this.]

Uh?

[starspangledman]

Aside from that shiner you gave me.

[divasterous]

Oh. Oh, yes.

I'm not apologizing for that.

[starspangledman]

I wasn't looking for one.

[divasterous]

Think Fiero made up for it.

[starspangledman]

[flushes with a smile]

I'd say he did, yeah.

[divasterous]

. . .

[his expression softens at that smile, and he touches Steve's cheek]

I love you so damn much.

[starspangledman]

[leans into the touch, stroking his hand through Vasily's hair]

I love you too, dear.

[divasterous]

Was there anything else you wanted to know . . .?

[starspangledman]

[shakes his head]

Not right now. I might ask later? But I think I understand, for now.

[divasterous]

[he swallows]

It wasn't . . . good, what I did to Fiero. But I didn't know what else to do.

[starspangledman]

[a nod]

You weren't trying to hurt him, you were trying to save people from the tragedy that you knew would come if something didn't change.

It seemed like he was still able to live his life, he could still find happiness in things.

[divasterous]

Honestly, he seemed a lot better off than me in a lot of ways.

[starspangledman]

I'd say you're in a good place now.

[divasterous]

Yes. Thanks to you, thanks to Mikk. My other friends here.

[starspangledman]

Yeah. And whatever it takes to get rid of this thing, I'm with you.

[divasterous]

Darling, you have so much in your own world to worry about . . .

[starspangledman]

And your world isn't any less important than mine.

[divasterous]

. . . I guess . . .

[starspangledman]

I don't know how we'll get through it yet, but I want you to know that you won't lose me because of it.

[divasterous]

. . .

[softly]

Okay. Let's work together. Proper partners.

[starspangledman]

[smiles, taking his hand and lacing their fingers together]

Yeah. Partners.

[divasterous]

I love you, Steve Rogers.

[starspangledman]

I love you too, Vasily.

[divasterous]

. . .

Sorry I ruined your, um, romantic surprise.
