You know what? I'm a little bit in love with this fic. It's been so long since I actually liked something I wrote, but somehow this just sort of flowed from start to finish, and in Danny's POV, of all things. You know I can't write Danny, so I have no idea how it happened. I guess the Danny in my head is just as frustrated with canon as we are.

Seriously, though, I'm very, very glad you enjoyed it, although I'm sorry for the angst and stress at the beginning. But this is the only logical conclusion I can draw from Martin's big fat lie about not knowing about Sam and Jack. She comforted him over his aunt, and he felt he owed her the favor of giving her back some dignity. It was sweet. Misguided, but sweet.

And you know, I think I might love this fic so much that it becomes my own personal WAT canon and turns into a fluffy little summer series. Because I think I'm going to need some denial fic after the mess I fear they're going to leave us with tomorrow night.

Now if you and I could get a gig writing all the subtext for WAT, I'd be all over the cowriting thing ; )

Well the whole point was to cheer us both up, so I'm glad I could do that. And I'm always up for fluff. Well, most of the time. I think I've overextended myself on the fic plans this summer, but there's always fall to catch up with myself.
