That other fluff fic was just to set us all up for this, huh? I really like the way it's through messages. Very interesting. Too bad Santana was a coward, though.

Anyway, I have your prompt nearly done.

What is fluff without angst to break your heart? I'm glad you like the messages. It was a fun style to write in. Also, course Santana was a coward. People don't mess, but really she's the Cowardly Lion.

In any case, I plan on writing sister fics for this one at some point. You know, to either even it out with fluff or make it angstier. Depending on my mood. Haha.

Also- yay for almost doneness! :D I'm excited.

Ah. See, I kind of agree that Santana seems to be the one who bends to peer pressure most and can be cowardly. It's even been shown on the show. But at the same time, I don't think Brittany's without fault, either. Not that that's what you're saying; I'm just explaining my opinion. I love stories where she's the one who messes up, if only because they're the minority.

And yes. Fluff is best when it's balanced with angst to make you appreciate it more. Ahem. Watch out for my next fics.

I agree that Brittany's not without fault, definitely. I guess it doesn't show all that much here, but I meant for this to be both of them being cowards about it and both of them wanting to say something, and neither having the guts to do anything and both of them avoiding each other and it resulting in a huge mess. I just had Santana get yelled at because Santana is the one that gets yelled at.

I love both angst and fluff, so I'm excited for what's coming. :)

my heart, it hurts.

but it hurts so good.

a sequel is in order. make it happen. hahaha

hahaha the No Angst Crusade should jump on you for this.

[cadastrophe]

:) I'm glad you enjoyed this.

Don't worry- a sequel is definitely in order at some point in the near future.

There can be no fluff without angst, so I stand by my decision to angst it up.

[relvoxballroom]

ugh, my heart. Jesus, that destroyed me.

[cadastrophe]

I'm sorry? Thanks for reading, though!

[sytyclove]

No...D:
I demand a sequel.
Or I may just die of grief.

[cadastrophe]

You'll have to wait it out on the sequel a bit. The prequel is up, though! But that is probably not what you need.

[cadastrophe]

Thank you! It was a lot of fun to play around with structure during the writing of this fic. I'm glad you appreciate it.

The sequel *might* be happy.
The prequel is not.
