This was so beautiful I’m crying

Great fic! And I agree that Peggy must have been at least somewhat suspicious of Zola. Your explanation makes perfect sense.

I've read both versions of this, and I can definitely see this fitting in with the MCU as it stands. Well done - very heartbreaking.

The other one, though...that's even better. ;)

Makes total sense.

Love the story. I agree that Peggy would have had to at the very least be suspicious and based on Marvel's Agent Carter most would not have listened to her.
