Jeez, how am I just now seeing this review? I apologize for how long it seems to take me to comment back to things these days.
So. Weeds owns me. Full on. But there's like no fic in fandom and as soon as I realized how much I loved this show (and, honestly, this pairing) I knew I would have to rectify that. I can't watch something and not write for it apparently.
Everyone keeps saying I've got the mannerisms down. It's so funny to me -- it's not something I actively pay attention, I don't think, so much as I've seen the series full way through three times in an extremely short amount of time and so it's almost instinctual I guess, now. Which, don't get me wrong, is a really nice thing. I was just so surprised to have everyone comment on that and then go back through and realize that I wasn't as far off base as I felt like I was while writing.
That part you bolded? Welcome to Andy and Nancy's entire relationship. It's all about keeping him tethered to her but at the same time not going over the line because that's a risk. Nancy's all about taking risks and diving into the water headfirst, so what's always struck me is her refusal to really do so where he's concerned. I think she's scared of ruining what they have and so she does keep him at bay and I've always been particularly fascinated by that.
I think this is the first of many, hun, and I'm so glad to know you're on board with that. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!
