I loved it endlessly!
It's so delicate, tender and totally appropriate.
I adore how you handle the whole "River is crazy and innocent" situation.
You always find a perfect balance.

I'm in awe.

Oh, thank you so much! What lovely compliments. :) This was a piece I really wanted to do, because - yes! - River is often portrayed as very mature and confident; and even though we have some evidence that she could be like that (her reaction to Badger, for one), I think that she'd be much more innocent in matters of the heart (so to speak - heh).

Thanks again!

I think all authors are walking on thin ice with River. But you do it so gracefully. And you don't push her into being someone she's not.

(Oh, I also enjoy you style, your jokes, your word-play and all those beautiful things you do that I can't quite name :) )
