[If Phil had wanted the legend, Steve wouldn't have been here. He was a good man -or tried to be- but he really was just a guy. Any pedestal he was put on that didn't recognize that, he was destined to fall off. He cursed like a sailor. He had a(n admittedly carefully controlled) temper. He was impulsive. He was stubborn. He didn't follow orders well. He had ghosts and demons and issues.
He was very definitely human and that it was the person that Phil wanted was a relief that... didn't even come close to his relief that Phil was still alive, but still let him breathe, relax, and jut be. That Phil was a strangely calming and balancing influence was even better. It was why he was in a cabin surrounded by snow and cold and okay. Why he was relaxed back on the couch, rubbing small circles on Phil's ankle with his thumb, teasing and smiling.]
It's up to you. We made it here. If you want to spend the entire week reading, I'm not going to complain. [Much. Maybe.]
