I've already flailed all over you in email but, I may as well do it in your journal too :DDDDD SOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOODDD! ♥ I love the ending! And the whole damn thing! Adding to memories immediately. Your woobie Damon is just...

He's drunk but not drunk enough. Never drunk enough. Can feel his body processing the alcohol as quickly as he can pour it in.

A betrayal of sorts.

Figures he deserves little else.

Pure love.

Thank you!!

I'm super glad you like my woobie Damon! Mostly because I'm pretty sure I don't have a different one to offer if you didn't!!

WOOBIE DAMON IS DEFAULT SETTING FOR SHIZ.

Thank you for your assistance last night! Champ = you!

(also, unfort. champ = Novak... again...)

No problem! If you have any other fics you need betaing, feel free to ask :D ~hint hint ~nudge nudge ~I just want to read your fic before everyone else ~ahem.

I WAS SO TORN FOR THE WHOLE THING. Novak would get a point and I'd be happy until the camera panned over to Murray and then I'd feel guilty. Murray would get a point and I'd feel happy until the camera panned over to Novak and then I'd feel guilty again. It was a v. confusing experience. I think ultimately though I would have like to have seen Andy win - boy needs a grand slam to his name.

boy needs a grand slam to his name. Boy does indeed. Also, English press? Shudders... Poor Andy :(

And I shall definitely keep your beta offer in mind, 'tis a high class service after all!! Unfortunately, I have THREE GA fics I owe for various charity drives that MUST HAPPEN FIRST! I actually feel a little bit bad about posting this one and not doing those! Hehe!! OOPS!

WHAT DO I NORMALLY DO WITH MY HANDS?! I CAN'T REMEMBER RIGHT NOW.

Seriously, this is EXACTLY what I needed after this week's episode. So damn perfect. You write Damon so well - the way you dive into this head and explain him better than almost everywhere else I've read. Perfect. Love the flow of this too. So well done.

Haha!! THANK YOU! Glad I could offer you some closure! I LOVE Damon's head... 'tis so dark and murky and... INTRIGUING!! He leaves Meredith Grey for dead!!

Thank you again! Hope you've regained the use of your hands!

Wow, this was incredible. It's jagged but it flows and it really is a wonderfully-written piece.

It's jagged Heh, I know. I can't help myself!! I have a tendency to write like that a fair bit...!

I'm glad that it still flows though because it's not my intention to make the jaggedness jarring, if that makes sense!! Haha!

THANK YOU!

Gorgeous, as always, and gave wonderful depth to the episode. I totally agree with abvj about your writing of Damon - so, so good!

AAAHHHHH! IlovedthissomuchAAAAAH! Reading this felt like falling... I just, dunno, tumbled through this story, -felt- what Damon was going through, Elena's concern, and the despondent air of it all was so thick it was tangible.

Just. Thank you. I NEEDED to read something like this. <3

ThankyousomuchforlovingitAAAAAAH! Haha! I loved, LOVED the end of the most recent episode, but it seemed like fandom was in something of an uproar about it so I wanted to, I guess, 'explain' where Damon was coming from... or something! I don't know!!

Anyway, THANK YOU!
