Aww, sweetie, I had a good cry! *sniffles*

I loved it. Sometimes sad works, and this was so beautiful and melancholy. Diana never mentions Steve's name but we know he's in her heart.

Thank you! *hugs*

I kept waiting for her to say Steve's name directly, but he's...everywhere in her heart and she doesn't need to think it, you know? I knew you'd know what she was thinking of...

Happy Bittersweet Birthday! *hugs*

Thanks, Mithen!

Oh, that phrase, smiling her new, sad smile, is a heartbreaker!

Oh! Oh, this is-! *flails quietly* I really can't wait to see what's going to happen with her film...

Diana had come back to Paradise Island long ago with handfuls of fine dark seed, had walked the island that spring strewing seed across the fields, silent and alone. That summer the green grasses had shimmered with new flowers, lush and crimson, that her sisters had never seen. “For memory,” Diana had said when they asked why she had brought them, smiling her new sad smile.

And that is just an amazingly beautiful, yet deeply sorrowful image, wow.

Oh man, Wonder Woman's movie might be the one I'm most eager to see, it looks so good and unusual! And inspiring (if possibly really really sad!) We can look forward to it together!

*Hugs Diana*

Beautifully written!

I love the movie version of Diana from what we've seen, she seems very wise (and very much like she could use the hugs!) Thank you!
