GG (Dan) FIC

[lint138]

It starts because, really, isn’t the whole point of college to leave all things high school behind?

A mantra he finds himself repeating, catching sight of her the first day of Intro to American Lit, sitting front and center with hands clasped neatly together, ankles crossed and casual.

Suddenly NYU isn’t far enough away from the UES, far

This...this was pure magic. It was so true to Dan and Blair and it was just so very sweet. Very realistic. Very plausible. What I really loved was how you took us through the building of the Dair friendship/relationship and the metamorphosis of Blair. Stylistically, I loved how you did the dialogue. Very subtle, yet powerful.

This I ADORED:
Are you saying I’m the Joe Bradley to your Ann?

Laughing softly, she swats playfully at his chest, and pulls him along again.

No seriously, you can ride on the back of my Vespa anytime.

She just laughs louder and he decides he likes it best when she lets it go freely.

The night almost over, small gloved hands move slowly up his chest before gently gripping the lapels of his jacket, tilting her head upward as she pulls down and kisses him in the middle of a hundred happy New Yorkers.

(For once she doesn’t surprise him.)
Anything with a reference to Roman Holiday (my favorite Hepburn movie) is an INSTANT win. And the fact that her kiss doesn't surprise him shows that he'd been wanting

Damn, this is quite the FB. Am glad you enjoyed the story so much. Terribly, terribly flattered.

Dan and Blair really seem to be at their best when they're paired together. Dan loses his tendency to be judgmental and Blair loses her selfish attitude. Fic like this makes me love them separately and together because they're the best versions of themselves without losing those qualities that define them as characters.

If only they'd have more interaction on the show that wasn't so venomous on her part, and woeful intolerance on his. Thanks for the FB.

You really shouldn't be embarrassed about watching GG or writing GG fic when you produce this kind of awesomeness. I'm the hardest of hardcore Chuck/Blair poeple (as you are well aware), and I ADORE this. It's cute and sweet and very true to two of the most interesting characters on the show. Plausible, well written ,and delightful. Great job, Linty!

Yes yes, but it is horribly embarrassing, and I can't help that like I (apparently) can't help writing it. Glad to see a movie reference can get you to appreciate the UC side once in a while. ;)

Thank you very much.
