Oh my god. This was so awesome. Erica's characterization was amazing. And Erica & Boyd...they are seriously one of my OTPs and hardly anyone writes them, but you did such a good job with the way Boyd just gets her, really understands her without having to say a word. I loved, loved, loved this.

I love this. I love how Erica takes apart the pack in her mind and resorts it and figures out how it NEEDS to be then basically thwaps Derek across the nose with a rolled up newspaper to get him to admit it. I love seeing the tension dissipate as they start to figure themselves out at the end. Kudos!

♥♥♥ I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.

Thank you so very much author-to-be-revealed this is absolutely wonderful. I love the way you captured Erica, and that you forced her to confront the fact that despite becoming a werewolf she hadn't really changed that much. And the reference to her mother are perfect because of course Erica wants her mother, and a lot of the time it seems like both canon and fic seem to forget that adults exist. And Erica and Stiles being bros, and Erica explaining basic human emotions to Derek. I love the way Erica/Boyd develops--so slowly and steadily but by the end of the story it seems like them being together was inevitable.

Just, this is lovely. Thank you.
