Brilliant how you've made these ficlets so sweet-- and yet they are not fluff. Not really when I truly ingest the words and what this relationship means for them at this point in their lives and careers. They're in a situation of not only balancing love, career and responsibility.

But also trying to navigate around potential pitfalls of being discovered and what that could cost them. And though they are content 'for the moment' it's so painfully clear they want more a relationship with each other that's not this big secret or a potential hazard. And yet they're love and their trust seems solid.

They are making it work for them so far. And if anyone can I guess that's Andy and Miranda.

This was very enjoyable.

I agree with you about the fluff element--I like to keep things sweet much of the time, but it's definitely serious between them, and they are dealing with bigtime professional risks. They both have so much to lose, from different sides of their careers, but they love deeply and will keep on keeping on.

Hopefully there will be more soon. And thanks so much! :D

Nice...I like this universe. I really enjoy the characters interaction with each other. Thank you for posting this. I really live all your stories.

Thank YOU! So glad you've enjoyed, and hopefully there will be more soon.

Oh, it makes me so happy when there's a new story from you up. I've got the day off, and it happens to be a rainy day of solitude and cold pizza and writing, so this was the perfect addition

Wow, typos. I meant "I love the potential multiple meanings..." of course.

Titles are HARD, so I was lucky to come by this one. Obviously it's literal, but it does end up having more than one level (depending on how you read it), which is fun.

The financial thing is always weird to navigate--it's still a fantasy universe, but so much has changed in the real world since the movie came out that it's hard to rewind mentally three years and remember what it was like when everything fell apart in late 07. I figure this time period is close enough to fit this along with that, and it's important to me personally to keep Miranda as real as possible, and Andy too. I think anybody who lived with Miranda, other than her kids, would be nervous changing up a look. Andy's self-confident, but within limits!

Thanks so much for your comments--they are always a pleasure to read. Glad to have made a rainy day a little more pleasant.

As with all you write this series is really good. I am really liking this universe you have created. I like how that even though we are only getting short glimpses into Miranda and Andy's lives you are still showing the overall picture and arc of their relationship very subtly. I get really excited every time I see something new from you and I am really looking forward to more from you in this series and other work. Keep up the good work!

Thanks very much! I hope to have something else soon in this series. It's been fun to move them forward slightly in each story, but still explore their lives at work more than home. Very different for me. I'm happy you like it!
