when people criticize fanfiction i wrote in 2008

Long fics that never turn out to be as good as their summaries made you think they’d be

Also, remember that perfect Avengers fic I mentioned a while back? The angsty one that still manages to fulfill all my emotional needs as far as fic goes? The one that takes a good bit of time to update because every chapter is long and beautiful? Well, it’s updated a couple times since then, and I’ve realized—
Every. Chapter. Seems to end in a cliffhanger.
