Thanks. Glad you liked it! This may be a silly question, but how do I tag this as AU? I can't find an AU tag in the comm

I liked this very much. There's a clarity and simplicity to it which is nice. It felt sparce, clean and probable. Yes, labelling it AU would probably be best, as well as stating which season it is pre- and post- (though as was said above, everything is now probably AU and post-S2, however, for clarity...). I really enjoyed it.

Thanks for the comments - I'm glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for the tip - I've updated my author's notes so that it says pre-season 1 and post-season 2 AU. (Is that what you meant? I am still new at this!)

Yes, that's what I meant...unless you want Guy's interest in her - and your first scene - to hit somewhere within Season 1. I also like the repeat of the final phrase/line. For me it works very well. ;-)

That was lovely. :)

this is such a lovely little fic; i read it twice.
i like the idea of Guy literally battling through a blizzard just to go to dinner with her. ha ha.
i agree with rene_writer; the repeated sentances really add to it.
although -and this is just me nitpicking and being annoying so i apologise in advance-
'twice as worse' doesn't make sense because something cannot be 'as worse' as something. 'Twice worse' is better.
but really it is a very sweet ficlet. well done

Two reads! Thank you! I'm glad the repeated sentences worked. You're right - "twice as worse" just isn't grammatically correct - thanks for the constructive comment.

Oh, this was lovely. I like the symmetry of it, the repeated images, and the idea that Guy would walk through a blizzard just to have dinner with her. *happy sigh* I think I'll stay here a while before going back to the harsh reality of season 3.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. And yeah, Guy would go through a lot to be with her. I'll have to think of a few more now! But as for season 3, I live in Australia so it's not showing here at the moment, and there hasn't even been confirmation that it's going to be shown so I'm not getting any new Guy at all at the moment!
