Where I lived post-college New Year's Eve fireworks WERE gunshots—idiots in Apartment City would fire their guns up at the sky! If you had to venture out at night, you carried something solid over your head as a shield.
Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

I don't know how that can fit into Civil War, but it's got to be canon. ETA NYS, not gunshots as fireworks. Ah, yes, staying inside for fear of falling bullets - better than fear of actively getting shot at, I suppose, but still, do not like. So far I've been able to assume that anything that wasn't fireworks was duck hunters, although there was something that sounded like a frigging cannon last night (with no other fireworks type noises around it, just the train, so I don't know about that one)
Sitting in my living room, I can see my breath a little. Better leave myself a little extra time to scrape ice off the car this morning.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
What are you doing, New Year's Steve?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Even better, doesn't the actual song go, "What are you doing New Year's? New Year's Steve."

I'm picturing New Year's Steve with images from that movie where he's walking out of his apartment with just a conveniently held newspaper and a wry smile.
