AAAAUUUUGGGGHHHH.

I have all of the love in the world right now for this fic, you have no idea. Just. Everyone is in it! And all the kissing! And Missy and Sheldon's reunion! And drag!Wil! And, just, oh my gods and goddesses, I just want to take this fic home and feed it strawberries and cuddle it all night long, you have no idea.

I realise this is not even remotely coherent feedback, but it's the best I've got. *FLAILING*

I don't know why but I like pulling everyone into my AUs. Even if that means Howard gets practically no screen time, lol. And when I was writing it, I was lol'ing at alll of the makeouts, but. They should all make out a lot. They should. I don't know when I came up with drag!Wil, but that scene was in my notes, and-and-and YOU ARE LOVELY AND DELIGHTFUL. ♥

I'm so glad you like it! I never have meltdowns over fics, but I had all the meltdowns ever over the writing of this one, so the fact that you liked it is unbelievably relieving! Thank you! ♥ &you; ♥

I think that's the guiding principle behind basically all my fics ever -- they should make out a lot, I mean, not that it needs to involve drag!Wil, although goddamn it, now I want to put him in drag and I think I officially just need to put everyone in drag (Penny and the girls can suit up!).

I like the principle of including everyone ever, too, because there are just so many one-shot characters who need to be in things more. I realise that sounds weird since I threw a big ol' OC into my BBBB, but really, it was going to be hard to write without at least one other student.

I am v. glad you survived the meltdowns and were able to post :D

Loved it! The Missy/Sheldon reunion was perfect, and I love Firefly with a burning, so this was right up my alley :)

Penny as the captain - priceless!

[muir_wolf]

I love the Missy/Sheldon relationship - it's something I'd love to explore more of. I hope they bring her back to the show soon-ish/ever. And I'm so glad you liked it! ♥

Thank you hun! =)

That is more marvellous than I can say. You have a way of creating these universes that seem to fill the story and make it complete and everything just works. Really great use of the ensemble, with all their histories, how they're all connected (Raj! So much with the Raj!)...and oh, Missy at the end, god I loved that you had Missy there for Sheldon.

&MISSY; Back when I was just very vaguely beginning to sketch this out, the only thing I really knew for sure was that I wanted Missy to have a Simon Tam type role. Mostly I just want her in all of the things.

Thank you so much, you're far too sweet! AUs are fun just for the chance to fiddle around and plan things out in my head, but I've ever so glad it actually made sense and worked for other people, too ;) ♥

This is a wonderful story. I really want to see what happens next.

You gave reasons why Raj, Sheldon, and Leonard were part of the Government, but what about Howard?

[muir_wolf]

Same as the others, really, he published a paper based on his thesis and got brought it right out of finishing at one of the public academies. (His parents didn't have tons of money and his mother wanted to keep him close and he wasn't clever enough to be culled for attendance at the Government Academy, so he escaped their notice until then.) He didn't have a huge part in the story, though, which is why I didn't talk too much about his backstory =)

I've ~considered writing a sequel, but I've a ridiculous backlog of things I'm working on, so if I do it won't be anytime soon, unfortunately. But mostly the good guys win ;) And THANK YOU! I'm so glad you liked it! ♥

AHHHHHHHHHHHH. Between the Missy and the badass Penny and everything. Just.

You write the best AUs. It's just a fact. A. FACT.

[muir_wolf]

You lieee but I love you for it! ♥ Missy and Penny are awesome and badass and mostly I just want all the fic of them ever, so.

AND THANK YOUUU ♥ &you;
