I'm glad you enjoyed. :D

And though I've hated many people, I've never, though you believe government is a tool for good and, even worse, that its power should be expanded, come close to hating you. You're the least hateable person I've ever met, and I can't see myself changing that opinion." He nods. "That's why I want to marry you." Oh god, that is such a perfectly Ron-speak romantic declaration!

This was entertaining and strangely sweet. :)

Thank you! I'm glad that bit worked for you, especially; Ron is a scary dude to write, since his voice is so specific in a way that's so unlike my own.

I recently rewatched the second season, and you know... I totally buy Ron/Leslie. There's something about their relationship that I like, and the potential is interesting to me.

That said, this is pretty perfect. I particularly like Ron's explanation of what makes a Tammy a Tammy. You have the voices down perfectly, and the format of the show lends itself surprisingly well to writing. I'm glad you're moving on to more Parks-related works.

Fantastic.

Thank you so much! I've been meaning to write more P&R fic for a while, but since I didn't have the s2 episodes readily available, I haven't felt so sure about attempting to tackle their voices. But now that I have the DVDs, there's plenty of time to rewatch (and bask in how great that show is).

Aww, I always love Ron's love declarations in fic. Well, wait, that sounds weird, because this was the first one I've read that wasn't written by me. But I did love it.

"You *aren't* a beast from hell, Leslie. You should accept that." Hee.

Also, she believes she's ever seen him eat bacon so slowly before.

Should be "she doesn't believe..."

I'm glad you did! Hopefully, others will write Ron/Leslie fic so you can love Swanson love declarations from more people than yourself and me.

Fixed! (Well, technically, I changed ever to never, which is what I thought I had written initially.)

(Oh, and related to this: I reread 'Don't Sleep So Close to Me' the other night and it is still awesome.)
