Here, have my heart and undying devotion. I'm just going to go sob somewhere for awhile because of the sheer perfection of this. Seriously, the idea of Tony being Peggy and Howard's kid is just brilliant, and I laughed so damn hard at the fondue part. SO HARD.

Thank you so much! I really can't see Peggy marrying anyone that wouldn't understand the fact that she'll always love Steve, and then this hit me in the face like a particularly feelings-packed punch. I have this whole head canon about how Howard was in love with Steve too, and then he and Peggy met up after she got out of the Army, and they just knew that the other wasn't over it, and fell in love because they could build a Steve-shaped place in their hearts together. Also, Peggy is a BAMF and Tony needs a BAMF mother.

FUCK I NEED TO STOP GIVING MYSELF MORE FEELINGS.

Oh my god, the fondue was AMAZING. Steve is so adorably awkward when he's trying to see if Peggy likes Stark, I had to put it in.

I feel like singing "Don't Stop Believing" , except y'know with feeling instead of believing. But I won't because that might get annoying quickly. BUT STILL. YOUR FEELINGS ARE GIVING ME FEELINGS! YOUR HEAD CANON FEELINGS ARE CONTAGIOUS!

OH NO MY FEELINGS ARE LIKE THE POISON IVY I HAVE RIGHT NOW.

(PS think something is wrong with the LJ cut tag--all the text is hyperlinked to nothing)

Thank you! I'm really glad I'm not the only one neurotic enough to want this to have happened.

(FUCK. Sorry, it's fixed! Thank you so much for pointing that out--it was meant to be a lj cut, and it's a huge pet peeve of mine when long journal entries aren't behind a cut. Yay you rescued people's dashes from my sleep-deprivation!)

Oh, this was beautiful, the letters and the videos and Peggy being Tony's mom, it is awesome.

[ladylade]

Thank you! The whole idea just kinda knocked me on my ass.
