Oh bloody hell, I had 2 minutes searching for my mouse (small m) so I could respond...

OMG YOU WRITE A FANDOM YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW SO WELL. (and no, I didn't put capslock on, I had to do it all with the shift-key) And it was glorious and right and and and yes, do more! Please!

Your books are so good. Sherlock and the drugs. OMG, yes, that. And the impossibility of admitting you're reading while knowing that people know, in Bomb Girls and Bully. (I remember reading one of your Bully fics before, and it will have been a while ago but was clearly so memorable it still stays with me.)

Oh, Willow. Oh, Buffy. Gorgeous and sad and then gorgeous again.

And the first one, the difficulty of reading in families which just aren't like that. So sad and hard. I hope Q gets a good ending. I'm going to believe he does. (What? I might write appalling fic but I'm basically a fluffy person so I shall believe in fluff happening at some point. Yes.)

In game Quico does get a bittersweet ending that he probably doesn't think is good but is ultimately the best thing for him. It is a really touching game that surprised me with it's depth when I played it.

Thank you! I am glad that it worked and I managed to get it right, I have another HP one for 7 cupid arrows but it's not so much a serious piece - it was the first one I wrote to try and get a handle on how I was going to write HP and then inexplicably the Remus one sort of jumped into my head.

Awwww, the Bully one is really lovely. I really liked the awkwardness and anger of it.

The HP one is really sweet and I love especially James's bafflement!

And awww, Willow - that's a really lovely portrayal of the two of them and of various unspoken things going on.

*shuts eyes to Elementary*

Really like the clues to the different girls' personalities via their books in the Bomb Girls one, and how important the chance to read safely is to Quico in the first one.

Thank you muchly, this day was one where I literally had one written the day before and then managed to come up with stuff (I really hope that holds out because days 9,10 and 12 are looking pretty sparse at the moment too).

[versipellis]

You can do it! I have just spent today writing pretty much all of 10! I have faith in us! (OK I need to finish 11 and 12 too but sssh)
