OMG, what happened to Steve!!!

This is gorgeously written, Bradygirl. Absolutely lovely descriptions and emotionally? Packs quite a punch!

I'm looking forward to finding out more. And to Steve feeling good again!

Something pretty horrific, all right. I direct your attention to Stained Glass I: Shattered.

Thank you, Ava! :)

Definitely more to come! :)

Well... I missed the first part of this... (Stained Glass I), but then I went back and read all ten chapters right in a row. I couldn't stop. So... this comment relates to this chapter, and the first part of the story.

I loved Stained Glass I. It was powerful and emotive, realistic and beautifully written. I always love your Steve/Diana stuff... and I have to admit, I'm intrigued about the relationship you hinted at between Hal and Steve. :D I think I love your Steve even more now, ;).

And this part... it's so sad, but so powerful, and I feel so bad for him! I can't wait to see what happens next though!

Yay! I'm glad you read it! It was difficult to write at times, but I'm very satisfied with how it came out. :)

I figured that since both were pilots, they'd have crossed paths...and a little more, mayhaps? ;)

Thank you, Dinah! I'll be typing up the remaining chapters soon! :)

I can imagine it was difficult to write at times. Those types of stories always are, in my opinion. But you did a wonderful job!

And yes, if you ever write Hal/Steve, you have to let me be the first to know. =)

And I can't wait for the next part, Brady! Thanks for sharing!

*laughs*

They are a couple in several chapters of Rainbow's Freedom. :)

And I can't wait for the next part, Brady! Thanks for sharing!

Next chapter coming soon! ;)

Poor Steve <3 Nightmares/flashbacks are the *worst*

I hope he realizes that he hasn't failed anyone soon. I'd give him a hug but I don't want to upset him "/

...Jumping into the ocean when it's freaking cold is probably not a good idea Steve. Really.

More please!

I'm afraid it's going to take him awhile to realize it. :(

I know! Not good. :(

More please!

More soon! :)

Oh, I like the contrast between the alien world's memories and the familiar New England surroundings, and how Steve's experiences seem to turn the familiar alien all around him. The surroundings match his inner turmoil so well!

Thank you, Mithen! :)

I decided that the restless Atlantic would fit Steve's turmoil, and I've often been by the sea when it's gray-green and roiling, so it was easy to write! :)

Okay, okay ooookay. I just finished reading all 10 chapter of Shattered Glass (whew, what a rollercoster ride of pain and rescue. You handled that male rape with realistic pain and the power of love in survival. The hint about Steve and Hal...yummo) Now we have the real battle, recovery, and you have set the tone beautifully. I love the way you have Steve using water as a medium of comfort. I am waiting with baited breath for MOAR.
Thank you for sharing

Thank you, m'lady! That story is one of my best works, I think. :)

I figured with Steve's New England background (my fanon, not canon, as they never really gave him much of a background!), the sea could be a place he needed at a time like this.
