Thanks! It's kind of scary how insanely easy these two are to write, but alas, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for reading!

Here's a funny thing: I was driving to work today thinking of this RPF that's in my head, and how I wanted to write it for you, for your birthday! And then I check in at LJ, and here's this!

Mine will be late too, because I'm actually going out of town tomorrow (so happy birthday a day early!), and I'll be gone for a couple days.

I particularly like the way Candice isn't like Caroline--at all--like how she knows way before Nina says anything, yet she doesn't say a word. You know Caroline Forbes would never let it go so long without pointing out the obvious. *g*

Nina's mother--I just loved that part as well.

But the dancing was my favorite...
"You're pretty," he whispers against her cheek and she smiles softly at the feel of his stubble brushing against her skin. He's more than likely drunk, but she lets her heart skip a beat anyway, allows her stomach to tangle in knots ( ... )

Writing these two is becoming therapy. They're just so happy. At least in my mind. Hopefully I will never find out otherwise.

The Candice aspect was totally my imagination because I couldn't find much on her, so I'm glad it worked for you.

Thanks for reading! Glad you liked it. And Happy Belated Birthday. Again!

I loved this!! I usually never read rpf, but something about these two has just drawn me in.

abvj March 24 2011, 23:57:57 UTC

It's because they are so pretty, right? IT JUST CAN'T BE IGNORED!

Anyway, thank you for reading! I'm glad you enjoyed this in spite of RPF not being your thing.

Oh, this was so lovely! I think you have this wonderful ability to piece together someone just from glimpses. For instance, in a TV show, the characters are developed, so the only concern is whether you'll be able to stay in the mould already created, but in something like RPF, it has to be all guesswork. But I could totally see the Nina I've seem in various interviews- that girl who probably thinks and analyzes too much, and has always been an 'old soul' and also a girl young enough to massively crush on a co-star right in the beginning because he's hot, and later develop into something deep. That bit felt very real to me. And I love the transitions in this fic, not overly dramatic nor underplayed, but quiet humor and just a sort of easiness.
Haha, I always write too much and say all sorts of odd stuff, sorry :)

Your comments always make my day, so don't apologize! I'm so glad that you liked this - especially because I enjoy your writing so much!

Maybe, you'll write them someday? *nudge*

Thanks for reading!

I'm so glad that you read it because this comment was so lovely! I don't know if I've ever expressed how much I adore your writing, so you saying that you love mine? AH. Made my day. I'm glad that you liked this! Thanks for reading :)

And I REALLY love that icon.
