Aaaa, the missing conversation! Nice! And Mike calling Artie Brit's beard! And the Santana poison comment! LOL

Short and sweet. Very lovely.

[kaitybear]

Artie is SO Brit's beard. And every other guy is Santana's. I'm a fan of calling it like I see it ;)

And I'm so glad you liked it! This conversation really needed to be in the ep!

This is everything I wanted and so much more. Now if you wrote for Glee, I think even more momentum would go behind the Glee fandom in supporting Asian Fusion and showing that, contrary to popular belief, not all relationships are doomed to end in baby drama and cheating on each other with each others' best friends.

[kaitybear]

I truly wish I wrote for Glee sometimes. Then not only would Asian Fusion get their well-deserved screentime to highlight what a functional, adorable, realistic relationship looks like, but storylines from last season (Puck/Quinn, etc.) wouldn't just be treated as if they weren't built up to epic proportions before being dropped and forgotten this season.

Ahem. Rant for the evening. BUT I'm so glad you liked this because I totally owed you for waiting so long! I'm actually enjoying little one-offs like this, so I suspect there'll be more in the future!

Asian Fusion deserves a storyline that's more than 'lolol asian asian asian', because the facts speak for themselves - Mike and Tina have been together for more consecutive episodes than any other couple outside of Fuinn and Werri from S1. Between that and all the little background moments and interactions of the two, it suggests there's way more to the relationship than just being Asian and abs.

Quick also deserves some semblance of closure or even interaction. Literally, the only lines they've exchanged was Quinn's one-liner in NBK and that's been it. I don't care how much she doesn't want to think about Beth, there had to be some kind of psychological and emotional consequences to giving up Beth on both of them.

... anyway, this was so awesome and I always look forward to more Mike/Tina ficcage from you. I've been pimping you hardcore to all the Tike fans I know and the Tike thread on Gleeforum, which I hope you don't mind. :)

I.love.this. This is what I thought Mike and Tina will do too. Both of them not persons that love baby drama actions and try to make situation even worse. They will talk and discuss it with one another. The last one are cute. I can totally imagining that. The battering words "on the condition ", the grins in both face.. Oh my..you just made my day today by reading your stories...

[yulenchrissy]

I don't read minds, Tina ", "I can't fix it if i don't know". This. I love this words.

[kaitybear]

Aw. Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! It was for sure a 'missing moment' in the ep!

[kaitybear]

I was so mad when they didn't feature a conversation like this on the show! It was such an unresolved issue, especially since Bartie talked it out, so this makes me feel like, at least in my own world of fandom, all is good.

It's really nice to hear you liked it, though! It's always a risk taking specific moments from the show and creating your own plot out of them, so I'm stoked to hear it worked. Thanks!

THIS. SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE SHOW.

I love it. <3

[kaitybear]

There's so much Tike that should have been on the show!

At least the writers keep fic writers like me employed with their lack of screen time for our couple ;)

Thanks so much for reading!
