AWWW METO YOU FILL ME WITH EMOTIONS! THIS IS SO PRETTY AND I AM SO HAPPY. :DDDDDDDDD <333333333333

I shall attempt to put my happiness in words. :DD

First: I was beaming before I even read the actual erasure because your note was so wonderful. I lovelovelove that you picked up on the themes that I was putting into my story (even if, I admit, I didn't realize I was putting them there until after I'd written the thing). The whole interpretation that you explained is just so perfect and gorgeous and <333333

Second: The erasure is so pretty and gorgeous and beautiful and wonderful! My favourite part (a super difficult decision because I love it aaaaalll) is

Susan, it read,
if you would believe
I promise we’ll fit you in.
If only.

because you've managed to take what was originally a fairly cheerful letter and pulled out the yearning and aching and fumbling relationship behind it. Sooooo perfect.

Third: I must say, I read this twice and then went back to read the original fic (it's been a while, k?) and then came back and read it twice more. And then again. Because this is so gorgeous and it flows and - I don't even know how to describe how perfect it is. Seriously.

Fourth: It would have been really neat to see the visual copy, but at the same time, I realize that my fic is 8 pages at +3K and I can only imagine how much sharpie is all over it. :P

In conclusion: THAAAAAAANK YOU from the bottom of my heart because this is gorgeous and perfect and even better than I was hoping and worth the wait for sure. <33333333

Oh yeah, and I was going to say, I was thrilled to see that you chose this fic. This one has always had a special place in my heart. I think of it as a milestone - it was one of the first fics I put a lot of effort into rather than just writing, scanning for errors, and posting. And - I don't know. It marks a change in writing styles for me (styles referring to both the actual style of the story and the process behind creating it). So the fact that you picked this one especially makes this erasure even better. <3
