I didn't take the finale as direct confirmation that they were together - I think by then, they at least acknowledged their feelings toward the other, but that doesn't necessarily mean they told the other one how they feel. So that's the jumping off point I used for the fic - Britta knows she likes Troy, probably knows Troy likes her, but doesn't know what to do about it, so she runs. I don't think you read the episode wrong; I think the writers purposely didn't show them getting together because they wanted it to be ambiguous. I read the T/B scenes in the finale a little bit differently, and that's totally fine - neither one of us read it wrong.

I mean, I think they might have thought sex was a possibility, but I don't think they went with the intention of sleeping together and starting a relationship and falling in love (and I don't think they did the last two things at all). J/B didn't run away from Troy and Annie because they didn't want to be with Troy and Annie; J/B ran away because they were afraid of their feelings for T/A.

The reason I used pronouns and not their names (and, incidentally, why there's no dialogue until day 14) was because I wanted it to feel different. So it doesn't feel like Jeff Winger on vacation with Britta Perry, but rather a guy on vacation with a girl in a city they don't know (or that one of them doesn't know, at least), pretending to live a life that isn't theirs. Sure, it conceals their identities, but that's a consequence of that choice, not the cause. I do appreciate all your comments, and hopefully looking at the fic with a different perspective will make it more enjoyable :)
