thegrrrl2002 won me at the helpthesouth auction, and this fic is my offering! One of the prompts she offered for me to write was a sequel/coda of months and miles from dream, and this is what I did. Steve adjusting to being domestic.

Oh God, this is *perfect*, I know that feeling so well, when you love them and you want them around but sometimes you just need some *space*. And it's just how this Steve would be, trying to adjust to settling down. Beautiful.

[delicatale]

Ohh, I'm glad I didn't fuck it up!

[azziria]

You certainly didn't!

I totally get how Steve is feeling. I've been married for 20 years and there are times I just want to run away for a while.

Thank you for the follow up. I love to peek in on the boys every so often.

Sometimes it might be better to get some space than to explode in your significant other's face, I guess!

Am glad you liked, thanks for reading!

THIS ^ ^

to this day I still need ME time.....so I take it....I walk, I clean my closet (its a walk in closet so I can close the door...LOL) or I come to the Pc and read fanfiction....like today - and I'm glad I did!

this was precious ♥♥

[delicatale]

Thank you very much! =D

I loved getting this glimpse into Steve's head, and how he's adjusting to his new life. The conflict between past and present, his feelings of being trapped and needing space, were so real.

And I love Danny not giving up on him. :-)

[delicatale]

Danny would never! He didn't when he was only seeing Steve once a year, he's not going to start now ;). Glad you liked!

Nice work!
Steve's chain of thought through his freak out really rang true, and I love that it's not all sunshine and roses but just fucked up and human.
Good job on staying true to the characterizations in the original fic.

[delicatale]

Oh, I'm glad you think so - I've never had one of these freak-outs myself so I just went with the flow. Am also glad you didn't think they differed from the original fic ^_^. Thanks for reading!

Awwww lovely fic :) Steve struggling like that is just so true to his nature and his SEAL training.
