The second one is my favorite. They are all good, and I mean good.

The second one is my favorite as well, and thanks for the lovely compliment!

Wow, these are all fantastic and I'd love to see some of them expanded into full-blown stories :D

[mercurial_muse]

If my muses choose to cooperate, I'd love to turn one or two (or four?) of these into full-blown stories. I already have three fics in the works, though, so I'm not allowing myself to take on any more projects right now.

You do so write fast!!! Oh my goodness... and so well! I have no idea why you think you're this really slow writer. Silly, silly girl.

These are absolutely wonderful. If I had to pick a favorite it would be Hands Held High :) I like that idea that Miranda is outing their relationship in such a proud way. :) Awwwwwz.

Also loved the first one "Fuck the boots..." Never imaged La Priestly saying that, but in this scenario... I'm sure she'd be kicking her way through calf high crap to get to Andrea :D Very very wonderful!

Okay, so if I'm not slow, I can still honestly claim to be unfocused, unmotivated and prone to over-think every little detail. C'mon... you of all people know I'm right! *chuckles*

'Hands Held High' was the most difficult one for me to write. The right words just would not come and I kept looking at the iPod display thinking, "Oh my God, I have a little over a minute left to make this not suck!" I'm really glad it apparently turned out okay, and I'm glad you liked it so much.

Fuck the boots... hell yes! Miranda was stuck in traffic trying to get to Andy, and looks up to see her kind of doing a striptease in the window. Seriously, who wouldn't say "Fuck the boots"?

I hope you don't mind me poking my head through the door...?

1. Mm. Gotta love the thought of a pining Miranda that eventually turns into a determined Miranda. I love that she was watching Andrea in this unguarded moment with the silence of the snowy city settling in around her. And the Manolo boots? Think I’ve died and gone to Miranda heaven. Temptation is really a great motivator and Miranda expertly proves that. There was a sense of delicacy here that was only emphasized by your grasp of subtle emotion. And the fact that you ended up on an Imogen Heap song happily tickled my senses. I love her!

2. ‘Sparked to a heady flame’ …that was the line that’s really responsible for sucking me further into this one. The deliciously short travel through Andrea’s reactions to Miranda’s brave words was full of excellence. I was hoping that Andy wouldn’t toss that phone aside, because in doing so, it would somehow make me feel that she wouldn’t have another chance to return to this bold truth that has fallen straight out of the mouth of the woman that she was also in love with. What a great emotional

First of all, your comments make me all giddy and at a loss for words! It's so difficult for me to respond to them with any sense of coherency when they're more well-written than the stories you're praising. I'm gonna try to do my best, though, so here we go

[mercurial_muse]

Oh, it's not my fingers that are slow as much as it's my brain!

PS- I know there's been some mod talk of making tutorials for clueless people... *raises hand* Yup, that'd be me! I am a complete techno-tard. If someone is brave enough to try to explain to me how to do a direct link, I'll make it happen. :)
