Mercedes/Quinn will always have a place in my heart, and I love how fun and organic this is. Mercedes feels very much like herself and the progression is natural and believable and lovely. Thanks for sharing!

Hee, awesome! I'm glad you liked it. I shipped them back when they actually had canon interaction, but then the writers sadly forgot that they even knew each other.
