Teach me to talk poor lol and such a Blair thing to say. I enjoyed the banter, this was a fun.

Blair is nothing if not direct. I've seen you posting on holycitygirls fic so if you enjoyed this that's high praise. thanks for reading!

OH!

HAI!

I love this. SO much

Can I reccomend it at charmingashell??

[jacobella41]

WHY, OF COURSE!

when i saw that you had commented, oh don, i got all nervous. is that weird? lol. writing them was so freaking intimidating, i think i need to love them less.

This is made of awesome. And has awesome-sauce poured all over it. So perfectly them and HILARIOUS and SMART (because they really could have fun trying to out-wit each other). The kiss at the end is just exactly what I was waiting for. Thank you!

But today she says something about NYU and learning to speak to the proletariats. Teach me to talk poor; those hippie professors skew towards the socialists she says. He tells her to stay away from any references involving cake and leaves.

You had me right there, and never lost your grip. You need to do this all the time. ♥

*flails*
that you would even read this makes me giddy. thanks so much.
the fact that you liked it, makes me wanna smooch you. i cannot lie.
i like reading way more than writing but if i get another idea i'll jot it down and don't feel obligated to read, comment or like, your fic is payback x100.

To be honest, even though Dan/Blair inrigues me as a pairing I don't consider myself a fan of it because... well, I've sort of grown to hate Dan ever since season 2 aired. So I usually don't see how those two could reach some common ground and build a relationship. But every now and then, there's this or other fic, this author that makes it believable and natural, that portrays their relationship in a way that fits perfectly with canon and explores their interactions while remaining true to their characters. Fics like this one, which feel as though they could happen just the way you described it.

It was very interesting , besides, your approach to it, how Blair needs to learn a new language and a new set of tactics if she wants to survive (and conquer) in her new enviroment, how at first Dan dismisses her and then has to admit her triumph. And Blair's argument against self determination was absolutely priceless. It shows Blair might be seen as shallow, but that doesn't mean she isn't smart. The U.S.! The colonies! Sometimes it is

wow, that is seriously the most awesome feedback! thank you so much.
i guess this is in the line of pret-a-poor j because dan isn't adverse to helping blair and when he does he always learns a little bit more about her.

and yay for the self-determination piece going over well. don't worry about imelda, i only remember her because its hard to forget someone with 2,500 pairs of shoes.

seriously, thanks again for the awesome comments. that made my day.

[jacobella41]

aw, thanks. and from a c/b fan no less. joy :)
