Thank you very much! I'm really happy you enjoyed it.

This story just keeps getting better and better, I have no idea how you do it. The voices are perfect, and everyone is so in character. The kiss made me melt in a puddle of happy squeeing, just so you know. And I want to hug Scott for being so over-protective.

I'm both looking forward for when they get to the inevitable Kate discussion, and dreading that moment with all my heart.

[entangled_now]

Thank you so much. That's so amazing of you to say. I'm really happy you're enjoying the series, it's a lot of fun to write. Scott deserves all the hugs. He's grumpy, and he disapproves of things sometimes. But he's the best.

Yeah, I have it planned up to the Kate part so far, that's going to be a tough part.

[nausicaa83]

I think Scott doesn't get half the love he deserves, he's such an amazing friend. And most of all, a good person through and through. And a potato, but that adds to his charm. ♥

Thinking about it, there's not a good character I dislike in this show. They have a way of making me viscerally hate the bad guys, and get incredibly protective of the good guys.

[entangled_now]

He doesn't! He's a really good friend, he's just a little slow, and easily distracted but he genuinely cares about people, so much.

I agree, I just love everyone on the show, and I hate watching bad things happen to them, but it's all so good.

Yaaaaay they kissed! I feel so proud of them xD

But yeah, I continue to really love how you write them together, and Scott trying to make sense of Stiles wanting to date Derek. Oh Scott, I'd really love for you to try understanding Derek a bit instead of fighting him all the time, but that isn't likely to happen.

Is there going to be more *hopeful look*

[entangled_now]

I knew they'd get there eventually! :D

Thank you! I'm having a lot of fun with their relationship. I really wanted them to have a foundation, before things got physical and I knew that canon Scott definitely wouldn't be absolutely fine with it. But I figure he's known Stiles long enough to know what he's like when he wants something.

Yes. I have it planned up to part 12. There are a couple of things I want them to deal with before I...finish it? take a break? I don't know yet.

Stiles will be so happy there is lots of kissing in his future xD

I like that it's rocky with Scott, it's realistic that he isn't going to approve right off the bat, and it'll take him time to get used to it all. And I continue to love Derek and Stiles being adorable and awkward together, it's so enjoyable to read :D

Ooooh cool! Ach, don't push it, just let the boys take you where they take you :)

[entangled_now]

Yes! If only to apologise in advance for the horrible things i do to him in the future. Which will feel like kicking a puppy :(

I'm trying as hard for realistic as I can, so that makes me very happy. It's going to take Scott some time, he still doesn't get it, at all. But Stiles and Derek are all awkwardly good together.

The next part is a happy part, oh my God, a happy part (well ok there's a little angst, but mostly happy!)

[sarren]

Yay, fun! (but not enough Derek, obvs)

[entangled_now]

Thank you! Yes, I know, not enough Derek. He's a mess of issues, and being in Stiles's POV screws him a little.

"Aw, your sarcasm is like a baby bird, flopping its way out of the nest."

This is my new favorite line, from any TW fic, ever.

I was all set to leave you super flaily comment about the perfection of their first kiss, and then you still had to go and break my heart with Stiles and his insecurities at the end. DAMN YOU TO HELL. *goes to wibble in corner*

[xsnarkasaurus]

She's good at that. She's always been good at that. She obliterated me with some of her first fics. Rude.

[entangled_now]

You've just made me realise that one of the first fanfics I wrote was a 150k kid!fic.

I really have always been crazy and random.

[xsnarkasaurus]

:DDDDD You have, and that's why I love you and why we've been friends for...uh. almost 11 years.
