Yay! New author tag!

I've read that MM's eye roll at the flask was not scripted and she didn't even realise she'd done it! LOL But it is a sad testament for Bill's drinking at this stage, however, I am confident he'd dried out by Daybreak. I love reading all the different ways he sorted himself out. And I'm sure Laura had something to do with it.

That first paragraph was especially great. Hope you write more. :)

Heh, yes, I saw that interview sometime in the past few weeks (amongst all the gazillion Con vids on Youtube, so I won't even try to find it again), but when I saw the challenge it was the first thing I thought of so I went with it.

Thank you!

This is such a fabulous drabble. Bill's alcoholism is a hard subject to explore, partly because it is so painful to see him in such pain and being so destructive, but you handle it beautifully here. I really feel Laura's pain in this too, her sorrow and her regrets. Nicely done.

Wow, thank you so much! I was super nervous to break into an OTP with such a notable group of fabulous writers, so this made me feel great!

YAY!!!! Fic from you!! Thank you so much for jumping in and playing.

Tackling BIll's "self medication" issues is always a tough one. But I think you did a great job acknowledging it's foundation as well as hinting at what will ultimately get him to pull his shit together.
Hooray!!!!!

Thank you so much for reading and commenting :) It means a lot!

“I don’t know how much time I have left, Bill,” she whispers, “and you’re wasting it.”

Totally the thing that killed me the most about Bill's drinking. A lovely first drabbble!

I may have thought up that line first and then wrote the fic around it :D

And thank you so much! You're seriously one of my favorite authors and I'm grinning like an idiot right now.
