YES! yes. omg yes! This, this is just how I see them. and this is perfect and just THANK YOU. so much.

One day it’s a Monday in early April and the news is talking about cherry blossoms and a congressman from Illinois’ sex scandal; the next it’s a Friday in November and there’s a turkey to be chosen and the situation room is looking busier than usual.
THAT! I loved that. that was brilliant.

& everything else really. ♥

Oh thank god. You have no idea how relieved I am to hear you say that -- I'm always wary of new fandoms and I don't think I've been this nervous in quite some time. So, thank you for the excellent prompt that got me out of my comfort zone.

I'm so thrilled that you enjoyed this!

You have inspired me to get out my ww DVDs! Loved it! And I agree with mini miss - that paragraph was inspired!

[slybrunette]

Aw thanks! I actually was recently inspired to do the same; that show just gets better and better, even on re-watch.

I'm glad you enjoyed this!

Absolutely adore this. It's so perfect and so them.

[slybrunette]

I'm glad you enjoyed it and felt it was in character; that was a huge concern of mine. Thank you so much!

They could’ve been enemies, too, but CJ was never going to be the homewrecker and Andi was never going to be okay with who he turned out to be, colder and sadder as the years melted away with the snow.

Beautifully done, a real masterclass in how to say so much with such an economy of language.

[slybrunette]

Wow, thank you so much! That's quite a compliment right there. I'm so glad you enjoyed this!

(I also wanted to say I was flabbergasted by the comment you posted at the drabblethon. Again, thank you. It's always nice to find yourself well-received and welcomed into a new fandom.)

Very nice! Think you captured both characters very well

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for reading! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
