:D Thank you! *does cartwheels* I really wanted to capture Dan and his journey while making the story sweet but in-character.

ooh! This was beautifully quiet and revelatory. I love an empowered Dan making decisions on his own terms.

I also love seeing the empathy and understanding for Val -- and the entirely rational (yay) understanding that words said in moments of (her) entirely valid rage and then wept over in moments of (his) entirely valid self-pity were only feelings of the moment, not end-all, be-all pronouncements of truth. Yay for Dan thinking clearly. :)

*g* Thank you. I hoped to capture the triumphant tone of the movie, the whole there can be a happy ending, with a little sweat motif.

Oh,god, I love this. This is everything I want in Wilby fic.

I love the leisurely, very Wilby-like pace of this and the healing metaphors that run through the entire story. Beautifully done!

[exbex]

\o/ That is just what I was going for. Thank you so much. I am giddy over the Wibly fic that is coming out of this.

[andeincascade]

Yes! Me too! It's like a dream come true!
