It *is* a post-ep for all things (see keywords at gossamer, which I'm pretty sure are chosen by the author, not the archivists), but I agree that it doesn't need to be read as such.

I always liked Confirmation because it's an all things fic that remains about all things, when I think a lot of fic written at the same time became all about what authors wanted the relationship to change into. And I love that it's bittersweet. I'm usually all about the bittersweet, but sometimes I make exceptions.

Yay! A fellow Confirmation fan! It would have been at the top of my list of short fics for us to cover but it was already covered two years ago. Yes, I love that it's bittersweet too.

It's my 'first time' canon. Subaqueous is my sacondary 'first time' canon. I don't think it's unrealistic for them to be as joyful as they are in Subaqueous, and sometimes I imagine them this way, but more often I imagine it like Confirmation - no less joyful, but additionally with a great deal of pain mixed in.
