So, seconding THAT rec

[breathedout]

In the comments on my request for metamour fics, lazaefair recced me Speranza's extremely aptly-titled Captain America story "The Fifties", and while I'm sure I'm probably the last potentially-interested person to read this fic, I AM ALSO CURRENTLY UGLY-SOBBING OVER IT AT 11:30 AT NIGHT when I should have been asleep hours ago given that I woke up at 4:15am and have done (or earlier) all week so I mean.

A GOOD STORY.

Now I need to stop crying long enough to be able to breathe again so I can go to sleep. ... My timing on this was not great.

I reread it yesterday because it got recced to you and it is so stupidly good.

[breathedout]

Wow, that just made my morning. Holy moly.

[breathedout]

Ha, yes, it made my night! Glad to share the love.

It's so, so good.

[breathedout]

SO good. Damn.

Lol, I started reading and I didn't know what possibly could you cry about. In retrospect, I can feel the universe laughing at my cluelessness. Like, the story progresses and it's just a big "Oh, no!I think I know."
Anyway, thank you for reaching for this punch into the heart for breakfast, it was so much better than I expected.

ME TOO!! I went into it just thinking it was a sort of fluffy three-way fix-it fic, and then all the Feelings About the Bomb and Human Loss just blindsided me in the best possible way.

(Also, thanks for your recs on that other thread; I'm looking forward to checking them out!)

God yes, that story is fucking destructive. And great.

[breathedout]

SO GOOD, holy moly.
