Awww! Wow, thanks so much for this! Hahaha, we are so happy that the characterization worked well without being over the top- and we are definitely glad that the plot worked without feeling like we forced it. We kind of went into this with the idea in mind that "having someone doesn't make life easier, but it does make it easier to cope with"- because all in all it was never about making life easier or simpler, but just two people who happened to find each other amidst the rest of crap that was going on that life threw at them. :) We tend to like writing the way real relationships happen, and real relationships are messy and complicated and often incredibly surprising.

We are especially glad to hear that Aiko came across so well. (She was my favorite age in kids, so I was really happy to write her parts.) The important thing was that Jin fell for her before he fell for Becky; that divide there, separating the single mom from just being "the single mom" and giving her daughter her own entity and personality, her own connections, was really the important part in the story. I think this is the part that made it work so well. But we just loved the image of Jin playing with her and getting chalk all over his pants. ♥______♥

tl;dr, haha, but thank you SO MUCH for reading this and giving such an odd, het pairing a chance in this fandom, and thank you for leaving us such amazing feedback on it! You made my morning brighter with this. ♥
