It was already perfect, but then it got better: "This, You Protect" no longer a WIP

If you've been waiting since the first time it was recced here, as a WIP, I have great news for you, friends: This, You Protect by [archiveofourown.org profile] owlet wrapped up today at a glorious 64K.

It started off as a hilarious one-shot about the Asset's mission imperative switching from killing Steve Rogers to protecting him. As Barnes rediscovers himself and his humanity, he picks up an incredible cast of supporting characters (in every sense of the word) along the way. It's not just a long and funny story, though: it's got incredible heart and a poignant-as-hell look at what waking up in the future has done to everybody.

As far as I'm concerned, this is 33 espresso shots of pure joy, and every last chapter delivers. Do yourself a favor and read this. You'll be really, really happy you did.

Speaking of which, happy 2015, whether it's already reached you or if it's coming soon!

Second this rec!
I read along as it was posted as a wip, and now I'm looking forward to re-read it in full.

I was so happy to see it finish- such a great fic. Thirding the rec, since someone already seconded it!
