I love this. I love all of these. I would take pretty much any of these outcomes rather than what happened to them, even though Mac thought she was doing the right thing.

Can't wait to see what you write next!

*nods* yes. Though maybe not the married with kids one. That one is looking on the rocks.

Personally, the v storyline is my personal headcanon for how they might turn out further down the line in our reality. Hopefully. PLEASE MR. SORKIN ;)

ta! x

It definitely doesn't look good, but the last segment of that one still gave me hope. If nothing else, I feel like he would at least try to make it work, for the kids.

And yeah, I love V, especially when he overhears Mac talking to the others about what happened.

Yes, definitely. And I think because so much time has past. They have built a strong life after her cheating on him. It would be interesting to see where that would go. *nods*

THE NOISE I JUST MADE

It's way to late where I am and I'm half asleep but I think i hyperventilated when I read that.

I'm glad it made sense? ;)

AHHH NO REALLY THIS IS FANTASTIC. At first I was like 'ooooh non-linear storytelling' cause there is not enough of that trope in fanfiction (I'm planning one atm and god I now realise why) and then (after a frankly embarrassing amount of time) I figured out what was going on and ASDFGHJKL OH MY GOD THIS WHOLE THING IS PERFECT AND FIVE IS ALL I WANT FROM THIS LIFE. ALL. I. WANT. (and for Sorkin to hire you to write for The Newsroom I'd be down with that too)

I'm a little bit in love with five. I might have to spend some more time in five. Yes. This is a plan.

I'm glad it took a while as well! The best thing about stories is the build up, especially these types. AND YOU MUST WRITE THIS NON-LINEAR STORY YOU SPEAK OF because you are right, there is not enough, and I love it!

I would just about die of I ever got to meet Mr. Sorkin, let alone write with him. I'd faint right through the floor.

Wow, this is wonderful as well. And I'd have a hard time deciding which scenario I'd like best. I'm just so happy there are five of them!

THIS is awesome. I was searching for great Will/Mac fic and ALAS. I have found it.

I can't decide on the scenario I like the most, especially with all that happened in the new season and and and .... I JUST LOVE THIS SO MUCH, is all.
