Missing you comes in waves. Tonight I’m drowning
“But I had a date…”
peggy putting steve to rest and moving on with her life but also coming back once a year, every year, on the anniversary of the day steve’s plane went down into the arctic
she just catches steve up since the last year, telling him all the big things that have happened in her life. she tells him when she gets engaged and married, has her first child. her second. her third. she tells him how after fifteen years, her husband is still a lazy lump that won’t get up in the morning until she shoves coffee under his nose. she tells him about the cold war and korea and vietnam
just because she’s moved on doesn’t mean she doesn’t miss steve any less. it’s just a dull ache, like a toothache, to be indulged when she has time, but ignored when she doesn’t. throughout the years, without fail, she takes an hour out of her busy life to lean against the rails and unpack steve from the depths of her heart and greet an old friend like nothing changed. then she straightens up, sniffs briskly while wiping at her eyes, then bids him farewell until the next year
this didn’t really come out how i wanted it to but whatever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Peggy Carter was healthy and active well into her seventies, so her family and friends were shocked by how rapidly she slipped into dementia in the mid-oughts. The doctors explained that unfortunately, this happens - Alzheimer’s is a swift and terrible disease.
These were the same SHIELD doctors who, a few years earlier, had been dropped a heavy hint that nobody who knew as many secrets as Margaret Carter could be allowed to retire with her memory intact.
Okay. Daniel is definitely the husband.
Nooooo the paRELLEL

Hi I’m auditioning for the role of Agent Peggy Carter and I will be singing Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better
Can you just imagine Peggy putting the wrong lipstick on for her date with Steve? And then he spends half of it passed out in the back of her car because of her wardrobe malfunction.
