Gahhhh, this is so beautiful. ♥ I adore your Gene/Annie and all the Sam-angst that comes with it.

Cheating on Kink Bingo cards is absolutely encouraged, especially when it produces something this good. <333

*hugs* for the essay anxiety (god, do I know how that feels right now) but I'm really glad you wrote this.

Thanks :) Even in a fic without Sam, I still managed Sam angst.

This was much more fun to write than an essay. I'm pretty sure I'm reinforcing the wrong kind of college behavior, but what kind of college experience would I be having if I acted responsibly?

Thank you! I'm so glad all of that came through.

This is lovely. All the angst and sadness. And hooray for Gene seeing Annie's potential and finding a way for it to be realised.

I think I like Annie too much to leave her in a situation that makes her so unhappy. Luckily, so does Gene. Thanks :)

It counts. Cheating's OK - I did it, too.

And this fic... I am so in love with it, as I am with everything you write. Unfortunately for me it's the kind of writing that makes me feel helpless to do anything except possibly illustrate it.

Mojo-stealer!

Dunno if you've read petronelle's big bang fic, but this could SO be the prequel. It's gorgeous and I love both of them so much in it, that they are so canon and so evolved from canon at once.

My favorite line: That fact that he’s right does nothing to stop the overwhelming desire to slap him. Luckily she’s worked with him for seven years now. She’s used to stifling that feeling.

Thank you so much. Sorry to steal! If it's any consolation, this fic stole my ability to write analytical essays at the moment :P

Shameful confession, but I haven't read any of the big bangs yet. I've framed them as my reward for finally tackling my own behemoth. I also said I wouldn't order any posters for my dorm room until I finished it, so I should really wrap it up because I am hardcore jonesing for new fic and my walls are depressing.

This is so sad and tender and right. I love Annie and Gene's dynamic and the way you've hinted at times that may have been much rougher, i.e. Annie's comment about it being a good day for Gene.

Thank you! Figuring out their relationship after seven years of unseen history and this mutual tragedy was something I really enjoyed. I had so many details I ended up cutting out since I had way too much fun putting them in.
