Oh! Would you believe that I wanted to do something Tangled for this prompt, where Rapunzel hadn't actually spent time in the rain? I'm glad I couldn't think of anything, because you did it so much better.
That’s what’s saved her: her ability to stare things in the face and never look back, to take pleasure in the things that were denied her before without letting bitterness dampen her delight.
This is something that draws me to most of my 'ships, of one helping the other (usually the girl helping the older guy, hehe) find what was lost to him through the difficult past, and it's particularly apt for Rapunzel and Eugene. The way you paint that vulnerable side of him is so poignant--makes me wonder what all lies beneath the surface that he doesn't show her. But I love how he's learning to let that go and not spoil it for her.

Great minds, my dear! Although I'm sure your response would have been awesome.

And while Flynn is also very care free, the fact that he's gone down The Path of Crime makes me think he's probably not dealing with his past as well as he lets on. And Rapunzel is just the girl to make him look at everything a little differently and really appreciate it

I love the contrast between Eugene and Rapunzel. I have to say, I'm with Eugene here. Rain = yuck.
You nailed Rapunzel's character here: her ability to stare things in the face and never look back, to take pleasure in the things that were denied her before without letting bitterness dampen her delight.

I'm with you and Eugene: rain is yuck. Particularly cold rain. I'd rather it just snow.
Plus, if Eugene said come to bed, well, I'd...
