Almost got it!

Naked Steve is slightly less naked now. This is a sad day for us all.

I think that tomorrow is it. I'm in the closing scenes where everything gets tied up, and they are short scenes. Maybe a couple thousand words total left. It feels good, and also slightly terrifying, because once this is done, I have to go back to the beginning and start with the butchery. Hank shall vanish from the annals of this fic. The entire opening plot will be replaced. (Alas, this means Tony shall not get to dip Steve. :( Sadness.) I have a horrible terror that I have written 80k, and shall turn around and immediately edit out 30k. If I don't, this will be my longest fic ever. Which is also sort of scary, because I don't want to sacrifice quality for length.

Writing today was hard to start, because like a genius billionaire industrialist playgirl I left off yesterday at a horribly wrenching moment, and did not want to pick up again. It hurt. D: Once I got past that, it flowed much more smoothly, but getting started... ouch. Avoidance techniques including gaming and working on an Ult Tony Fanmix.

Anyway, word counts. I'm at 83,394, so I wrote 3,126. Will probably end this baby around 85k, at this rate.
( Y'all have no idea how hard this was to pick )
