i'm finished, and i am sorry for all these ineloquent comments i am leaving on this piece because you deserve better, but i loved every second of this story. i was so, so expecting it to hurt for some reason but it just... WARM FUZZIES EVERYWHERE, I AM SORRY, PEGGY + HAPPINESS/SUCCESS is my otp for this show, and if the happiness/success comes in the form of one stan rizzo then i am more than okay with that. she's perf, he's perf, don's cameo was so perf (non-committal and yet strangely, keenly profound), LOVE that joan's name comes first (makes sense because she put in the most shares, in a way), and the domesticity. just, the way they interact with each other, i'm astonished at how you managed to not make a single thing sound cliched - feels like they reinvented tenderness, idk.
TL;DR THIS IS GREAT YOU ARE GREAT I HAVE BEEN STARVING FOR GOOD PEGGY FIC (and especially good peggy/stan fic), i have no idea how it is that you do what you do but THANK GOD yeah.
This was terrific. I'm always looking for fics about Peggy and SUCCESS! and the "Peggy/Joan/Ken/etc. start their own agency" is my favorite type of SUCCESS! so this was really a great read. I never really ship Peggy with anyone (well, I used to ship Peggy and Don, but not unless Don becomes a good guy somehow) but you wrote Stan in a way that really made them work beautifully together. Plus I loved how into her he was - and their firsts "I love you"s were wonderful. I hope this is actually how Season 7 turns out - who cares about that Draper person? ;)
Oh man, now anything that happens in the upcoming season will be a horrible disappointment since I'm sure they are too dumb to let something this glorious happen.
"he already wanted to fuck her again. What else is new, he might have asked; he’s spent the last five years wanting to be inside of her." CRYING BECAUSE IT'S TRUE ugh i loved the urgency of both of them all the pent up sexual tension from the years, with peggy's feelings and wants slowly progressing and stan so eager to go there with her but always respecting her wishes but also living his own life it all felt so real
ALSO THEIR DUMB AND ACCEPTING DOMESTICITY!!!!! i'm such a sucker for that!!!!!! the cat likes him more than her!!!!
"She told him that, for her, it was All About Eve, and that had made him smile, lines crinkling around his eyes as he said of course, as he said, no wonder you’re always gunning for that brass ring." [MUFFLED SCREAMS]
AND THE ENCOUNTER WITH DON!!!!! THE HAND SQUEEZE HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!
This was so wonderful and perfect, god, you're such a great writer. I really enjoyed living in the world of this story this past hour or two. You just nail the characterizations, and everything just feels right. Great stuff.
