And a very happy Galentine's Day to you also!

So there are many things we've done together that are my FAVOURITE, I disdain the actual meaning of the word! So, in no particular order: that time we decided we were going to watch like, one episode of Slings & Arrows! And then it was 3am and we'd watched them ALL! That time you finished your Finals and we ate cake and toasted you in your room at New! That time we went to the St John's Ball and sat in yurts in ball dresses and ate doughnuts! And, finally, how we had tea and lunch at the Imperial in Delhi on Christmas Day, and took pictures of ourselves next to a life-size chocolate Santa Claus!

Aaaah, all of these things were GLORIOUS. It makes me happy that there's a Delhi thing too; being able to attend your Indian wedding was so special.

AND IN CONCLUSION, ilu.

p.s. I think that Santa was even bigger than life size! UNLESS REAL SANTA IS ALSO GIGANTIC.

Happy Galentine's Day! (And, yes, it absolutely needs to be a real holiday.) And you are without question a beautiful sunflower.

Whichever of the options you like, please. If fic, either Buffy and Tara or Buffy and Faith.

<3 <3 Buffy and Faith, post s7 sometime, no comics canon.

FaithFaith is looking for Slayers. Where she looks, she finds: girls on the basketball court, watching as the ball soars into the vaulted roof, thumps through the basket with perfect strength; girls who put down their books on summer afternoons and stretch out, as though something deep within their bodies feels different. On a city street in Lagos she watches as a girl smashes a man’s face, returns an elderly lady her handbag, and sits down on the dusty roadside and cries, with amazement and wonder. In a rural hamlet in England Faith stands with a girl, silently, as dust swirls down in the churchyard around them. In a high school in Georgia Faith is quiet as a girl with stubble glares at the men’s room mirror ( ... )

It is sweet, you were absolutely right! Thank you, I really love this.

As it is (nearly) Galentine's Day and you deserve celebrating too, you are a beautiful sunflower for many reasons! Your writing, whether it's fic or everyday posts, is compelling and skilled and enjoyable; you are impressively capable and clever; you have a very similar taste in books and TV to me, which means I get to steal them from talk about them with you. I feel lucky to know you.

(Fun fact: I went swimming after work and told myself I was a noble land mermaid.)

Aha, you are totally a noble land mermaid. (I love the phrase: it's so magically evocative.) Thank you for your kind sunflower-explanation! I feel very lucky to know you in return. <3

Oooh! Tell me about your favourite thing we might ever do together! Or a B99 story. <3

I have a B99 story coming! In the meantime I shall be prosaic and say, we need to just hang out and eat popcorn and be fannish together! Or maybe go out dancing, that would be super. :)

Aww, honey! Thank you so much! That is one of my favourite memories of anything, full stop - how much fun we had roaming Berlin and talking about Slings & Arrows fic and going round all those little roads named after TYPES OF CHICKEN, ahahaha. I am actually eating waffles right now, I wish you were here to eat them with me. <3 <3 And I'm so pleased you and Nic like Brooklyn Nine-Nine! I love that a real cop thinks it's realistic, that is so awesome.

I would love to hear your fondest memory of Stuff What We Have Done Together!

And a very happy Galentine's Day to you too.

Hurrah! I have many, many fond memories of stuff what we have done together. In no particular order! The amazing hen party you threw for me, which could have gone horribly wrong and instead turned into one of the nicest nights I can remember. The amazing hen party we threw for you, with the appendages pinned on the gentleman! Your wedding - everything about your wedding, the rehearsal, the frozen margaritas the night before, the minister who was a hundred feet tall, the beautiful weather, your beautiful dress, the haggis with one leg shorter than the other! That time we nearly drove Tali into the sea! That time we nearly drove Tali into the sea and then the fortune-telling machine told her "you should get better friends"!! That time I came to visit and we helped an inflatable Dalek run for public office! And not least, the time we went on the train with a GIGANTIC, LIFE-SIZE CARDBOARD CUT-OUT OF MIRANDA OTTO!
