i really liked this. I like how there's no grand gesture, just them leaning into each other gradually.

Here by way of your BigBang story. I really like the contrast between Spencer in this story and Ryan in Act As If. They play the same roll in the story but...Spencer follows Ryan's cues in I'm On My Way in a way that Ryan from Act had trouble doing. At the same time, the relationship in both stories is inevitable and both Spencers catch that quickly.

Sorry that I commented only here but having different versions of what is the same slow slide make both Act As If and I'm On My Way all the better. Thank you for sharing.

This is such a thoughtful comment, thank you! I'd never really thought about the parallels between the two stories, but having them pointed out is really making me think about characterization choices in a way that's extremely helpful for stuff I'm writing now. So it's a really fortuitous comment. Thank you so much!
