Oh Gods!

You captured the raw emotion and terror perfectly.

Wow.

I ache for both of them.

Thank you, Green Eyes!

I worked a long time on this chapter, trying to get it right. Your words are much appreciated! :)

*sigh*

They can't catch a break. Poor dears.

Not yet, anyway. :(

The goddesses need to smile your way, Steve...and yours, Diana.

Let's hope they do by the end of this tale!

Thanks for commenting, Merfilly. :)

*hugs Steve and Diana a lot* The poor dears!!! *hugs them again* You're really being quite cruel to them. *pets them gently*

I hope there's more soon! :)

I hope there's more soon! :)

I'm hoping to revise the next chapter soon! :)

trying to calm his racing heart, compulsively clutching and unclutching his Medal.

Oh, that's such a telling and sad touch, Steve trying to use that traditional symbol of masculinity to ward away the trauma. And the obsession with being dirty is all too typical of survivor's pain as well...

That he could hold on to her at the end was a nice small touch, just a bit of hope in all of it.

It's all in the details!

And the obsession with being dirty is all too typical of survivor's pain as well...

*nods* It's a logical reaction, too, when you think about it. Not, of course, the level of obsession, but the idea that the victim has of being dirty and needing to get clean.

That he could hold on to her at the end was a nice small touch, just a bit of hope in all of it.

I think Steve needs his lifeline more than his fear of being touched.
