Ohmygosh, SO MANY FEELINGS. I have so many feelings. You write these characters so well, with such nuance (well, as far as I can tell, you write all characters well and with nuance, but there you have it). I love all the uncertainty, the resentment, the hopefulness. And the amount of detail! So excellent.

Just one nitpick -- I go to Stanford (Go Card!) and so am super familiar with Palo Alto, and I can promise you there is no Palo Alto airport. The nearest airport to Palo Alto is the San Jose airport, which is also in Santa Clara County, so I'd recommend changing that one tiny detail, just for accuracy's sake. :)

thank you so much! I'm so very glad that you like this, and that the characters seem nuanced! ♥

re: airports, I literally just plugged "palo alto airport" into google to see what I got, and then trusted the results, ahahaha. apparently it exists, though maybe not for commercial flights? I have no idea. anyway, thank you for pointing it out! I try to be accurate, but I've - er. never been to palo alto! glad to have an expert on hand. :D

[antinous_wild]

Ahh, you may be right. There's definitely not a commercial airport, but very possibly a private one. (Lots of rich people around, so I wouldn't be surprised.)

I really did love this fic, so I'm sorry to nitpick about stuff like that! :)

[addandsubtract]

I have no idea! ahahahaha. either way, thank you for pointing it out! I truly, truly don't mind. better to know than to be inaccurate forever! :D
