I love this story. The way you balanced what could be very real repercussions - and what I think was a completely reasonable and responsible request from Callie - with such love and humor is great. I'm glad you wrote about this topic - both because it's real for their situation and because it's so important that it gets addressed wherever it can so people can raise their awareness and educate themselves (and each other). I like that you touched on the amount of work it's taken the two of them to get to the point they're at, because it's such an important journey, and I like the acknowledgment that there's still work to be done.

At the same time, all of the scenes with Chelsea, while serious in what they're tackling, are so funny. As I've said, that character reminds me of so many people. And Callie's "Once you’ve held someone’s hand while she peed screaming bloody murder, there’s really no going back from that. It’s a forever kind of thing" makes me giggle every time I see it.

There's also just the right amount of fluff in here to make me go, "D'aww!" every couple of paragraphs. You can really tell how much they love each other and how sweet they are together and brb having feels.

Anyway. Have I made it clear that I love this fic? :P I love this fic!

I am pleased that you like it so much.

That is completely why I wrote it. Given the way things happened, I can't imagine Lauren would have disclosed it had she been infected with any STIs. After this type of sexual encounter, getting tested is ALWAYS a good idea.

I tried to make it clear that they didn't just magically get to this place. It took MONTHS and they're still not all the way back. The purpose of this fic wasn't to address that directly, but I'm glad it came across as I intended, that they didn't just brush everything away.

Oh, Chelsea. I think everyone has known a Chelsea.
