I still can't believe this was you... it's so... happy. :P

That said, I love it forever and ever! The names (FOR EVERYONE even the hamster!) and Joe being Joe and the little bits of bromance. And Una and the fact that Mina is messy.

Still.... WHAT HAPPENED TO MINA BEFORE??!!!!!!!!!!!! WHATWHATWHATWHATWHAT!?!?!?!??

[lovelylytton]

All I knew when I set out to write my ficathon entry was that I wanted to eschew dark and go happy instead. It's my ultimate master plan for keeping everyone from guessing my fic correctly. ;)

At some point, I will write the sequel that explains what happened to Mina, so for now, my lips remain sealed.

(Glad you like the names!)

You always write the GREATEST Jadeite/Mina friendship! Seriously, I constantly come away with warm fuzzies from anything you do involving these people. I love their slow warming up to each other, the way that she constantly annoys him yet somehow weasels her way into his life anyway. I love how she's clearly running from something and he senses that and it's so much easier to ignore it forever instead of confronting her about it. I love how his family welcomes her in. And Una--is that Usagi? I was thinking that's an awesome name for Usagi, if it is.

I, too, cannot believe you wrote something so happy.

[lovelylytton]

Oh yay, warm fuzzies! It's a very nice change to write something like this every once in a while, where nobody dies a gruesome death or has his or her heart broken into a million tiny pieces.

And yes, Una is indeed Usagi. I think I am going to stick to that name for most of my other AUs from now on, simply because I like the sound of it. Don't even know where I plucked it from - perhaps Stardust or Bridget Jones?

Spirit, thank you for the kind comment, it's very much appreciated! :)

I will give you a proper review asap. But my phone is driving me nuts. I just had to say that I love this as much as the first time I read it. You also need to post the sequel-y bit. And write more of this verse. Because it's awesome, in case you didn't realise.

[lovelylytton]

Charlie, you already gave me a million reviews for this thing! Well, not a million, but at least three, so all is good. :)
I'm just glad you enjoyed this and also, that you couldn't immediately guess it was mine. Muhahaha, my master plan worked!

AHH Fuzzies!

LOVED it as always got all warm and tingly.

Gotta call my bestie after reading this!

Beautiful as always!

[lovelylytton]

Thank you! I do have to say: I like making people feel warm and tingly. It's a nice change from making them weep. I should do this more often. ;)
