I really liked how in depth you explored the aftermath of New York and how well you treated the issue of Clint having PTSD. I think you definitely captured the issues that Clint would be struggling with and how he would try to cope (or not cope) with them. Great job!

Thanks, really glad the struggle came across, I was worried about presenting it honestly and realistically, I hope I accomplished it.

I'm just gonna second everything chrisfaithalin said, because YES! All of this! I liked the h/c, the angst, the exploration of feelings, and it was pretty hot as well :D
Great job indeed!

Thanks and thank you so much for the last minute beta, it was really appreciated.

The first step to healing is acknowledgment of the wound. PTSD is a difficult thing to deal with, and you gave us a realistic portrayal of the pain that it causes both to the sufferer and to those around him/her. Well done! :-)

Thanks, I'm glad it was realistic, my knowledge of PTSD is what I read online or see on tv, I was hoping I would do it justice. And thank you so much for the beta, I know it was very last minute and it was very appreciated.

I am so glad you like it, when I got the prompt I just knew the story I wanted to tell, it was the most perfect prompt for me! That being said I struggled to write it, expressing the issues he would have gone through was hard, but I'm glad you enjoyed it :-)
