( 'Ann, what's up?' Andy says, and it's not what he says but how he says it. The tone of his voice, the set of his shoulders - all of it radiates the same disappointed wariness Ann felt every time he showed up unexpectedly after their breakup. )

Oh, thank you so much for this lovely comment! I agree, Ann/Leslie IS canon - they are so clearly smitten with each other on the show, in a way that I find totally endearing. I'm so glad the story worked for you!

So good. Wow. Leslie/Ann is such an under-appreciated pairing and your fic was just amazing. Really well written and so realistic.

Oh my god. This was seriously just... adorable. I'm so thrilled to see any Parks anything these days, because I miss it like crazy, and it's so great when it's ~quality. Everyone's characterization was just perfect, but what I really appreciated was your voice for Ann - I feel like we don't know that much about her on the show, just because she tends to be the straight man and a little plainer in contrast to the rest of the gang. But this was just a really wonderful read on her and I liked that a lot. While, for the actual show, I tend to love Ann and Leslie only for lady bromance purposes, I love fic about them and I think this is one of the better ones. None of it felt out of character for them, it was just natural and really sweet. And I just really loved it. :)

Is there a word for a female bromance? There needs to be, because Leslie and Ann are totally one.

All I can think of is "homance," and that's...horrible.

Thank you so much for this lovely comment, I'm so glad you enjoyed the story! I miss Parks and Rec like crazy, too, and I'm so happy to hear that the characterization felt right to you as you read the story. That's so great to hear!
