Okay, this is fucking incredible. For probably more than a year now, I've been wondering how their reunion would be. Even though the details changed and surprised me, it's still a reunion, and I feel like you really hit that balance of worrisome hesitance and passionate rekindling. They're both changed people and seeing them learn they need to heal together was so satisfying and beautiful and emotional. I was holding my breath through the entire second half because it feels so precious and fragile but then he said I love you and that was an amazing perfect moment and it was stunning. Worth the waaaaaait. You're sincerely amazing. I'm emotional. Okay the end.
Slow clap for you and for Chris! Also Ann - loved that tree metaphor. Seriously, so worth the wait! Loved how gently you handled both Ben and Leslie's need to recover - really nice character work, which makes reading it such a treat!
Awwwww yay! This was lovely. I can't believe this wonderful story is almost at an end! Way to go Chris and Ann, they were both amazing here - and I'm so excited to see how Chris goes with Kelsey. You wrote Ben's struggle with loving Leslie but feeling that he doesn't deserve her really well. I'm so glad he's finally accepting that he is allowed to be happy.
