Seriously liking the interlocking drabble format you've got on the go here. Miranda's gradual awareness of what she wants is lovely. And I love that we see it in little scraps. Also, Dr. Hermes doesn't get the joke? Hee.

Thanks, la_fono for reading. It was sort of fun to limit myself to 100 words per part of story. And yes, dear, I'm going to finish IAR 21 soon! LOL!

Thanks for commenting.

Hahaha! Nooo, no, I wasn't nudging you - I was referring to the whole "Dr. Hermes"/cadeucus/medical thing XD

<3

Ah, my Love Squid! You're right--it was completely a double joke--the caduceus indeed and a nod to Miranda's Hermes scarf fetish.

Great job, sweetie. This is quite sad, really, which might have been expressed a bit in our interactions while I was editing for you; I think I was more touched by this than you know. But you did a lovely job, and poor Miranda and her impervious layers of armour. I'd think she'd have quite a lot to say if she didn't think writing it all down was beneath her.

[hawkbehere]

In my mind, this Miranda doesn't think it's beneath her to express herself. She's just inured to the fact that can't happen for her emotionally. My take.

And she has a real buddy. Which is nice.

Speaking of? Thanks, Z, for editing for me. But you're getting nothing but a limerick from me today (Tuesday).

And I'm teasing you, beast.

Beautiful! Sometimes you really want to grab Miranda by the shoulders though and tell her that you can have longitude and latitude! Love as GPS that was killer.

I love the connected drabbles too of course. I think they are a great way to peek into a moment and move forward. They just tell enough to get you to see it and feel it.

Thanks for such a great little fic to share!

[hawkbehere]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, punky. I like putting GPS everywhere! And it is fun to limit yourself word-wise. (#@#$)#$@ IAR). Thanks, dear, for reading.

[punky_96]

I love your writing, so it is entirely my pleasure.

I'll have to try the 100 word thing sometime. I squeal if I'm limited to 500 words...

Love isn’t GPS, Miranda - Best line ever.

Wanted to shake Miranda silly when she said that she wanted to be 'Real friends', but sadly, I get where she was coming from.

As sad as I thought it was, it was still beautiful, Hawk =)

[hawkbehere]

Thank you Sherlock. I want to shake Miranda too. I'm always so happy to know you're reading.

Okay, so my failed to show up but that was just a joke anyways. Seriously, how much do I love thee? I can not count the ways (poetic licence). I started reading this and while it was bittersweet it made the nerd in me shiver with joy. I love the stark look into Miranda's psyche and being a psychology nerd and a Miranda/Andrea fan? Double win. *sigh* How can you continue to be so awesome? It almost isn't fair. Good thing I like you.

[hawkbehere]

Good thing indeed. No--I'm not going out of the country for another week--and have untold stories to write.

I'm glad you liked this one, dear.

I'll speak to you before I cross the pond, God willing.
