But, first: you have nothing to fear in this. There is zero fail whatsoever. Not lying, being serious.
You've got everything about their push and pull and the fact that everything about them is quiet and gorgeous and subtle. They just are.
And I love that section where you talk about there's no part of him that is a mystery to her, but what is is the fact that she lets him be in this space of her life, lets him put his hand on her, meets with him, etc etc. And that is just gorgeous and hits everything about Kalinda.
This is just so them, together and separate. I love it.

Seriously, I'm pretty sure I missed an episode or two or six over the course of the show and that does not leave me feeling any sort of confidence. My canon is shaky and my voices are shakier so I spent a lot of quality time with Youtube.
The second section you're referencing is what I wrote in class on Wednesday. Because I do that now, lol.
I'm so, so, so glad that you liked this! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing and calming my nerves ♥ ♥ ♥

Well, your quality time with Youtube worked. But then, I think you would've done fine. You have a grasp for characters.
Eee! Writing in class is always great. And that section was just so lovely and wonderful.
You are most welcome! But really I should be thanking you for this and being able to read it because it's just so good. ♥

Since I've finished Season 2 I have been dying for Cary/Kalinda and there is none to be found (or hardly) and so THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for writing this. I feel like this could be pulled right out of the show, and its definitely part of my personal canon!
Wonderfully done, bb!

He wears Armani and learned how to tie a Windsor knot at age seven
Very random line but it was one of my favorites because you can characterize someone in just one sentence like that and it amazes me no matter how many stories of yours I read. THANK YOU for writing this pairing!

I absolutely adored that part. Ever since S1, it seems like Cary's always been curious as to what really goes on through Kalinda's mind, and she refuses to let him see any vulnerability. It feels like it's always the other way around, with the guy being aloof and the woman being inquisitive, so I think that's why they intrigue me so much. You did a great job of capturing that dynamic in the snippet I quoted, and that's why I enjoyed it so much!
