Thank you so much!

I'm glad the Dawn/Faith worked for you here. I'm not a huge fan of Dawn/Faith, either, even though I like Dawn's character, and I adore Faith (and love her with just about anyone). It was a challenge to write them together, but fun, too.

Eden pining after Anne Marie and not getting her may be my favorite story to tell. I've long wanted to write a story about Eden turning to Penny (in a few years, when she's older) to replace Anne Marie, which is fucked up in so many ways, but I was really pleased with way her turning to Lena worked out in the story.

I'm so glad my Viola sounded right! I'd only watched the movie once, right before the assignment went out, so this was the section which worried me the most. When I started it, though, it was the easiest, in part because I love to think about how people would view Bridget away from the other women. (And I totally meant understood, though I apparently even managed to mistype understands. Thanks for that catch!)

Haley/Mina was such a happy end to all the sadness. I like the way it balances the story, even though it took me ages to figure out I wanted a final section with a happy ending.

Thank you so much for your incredible feedback!
