I cannot even BEGIN to tell you what a joy this was to read! I was up until 2AM reading and flailing and grinning and chuckling under the covers because it was perfect from start to finish. At first I thought my eyes were deceiving me when I saw it was 13K because we have yet to have such a monster length fic in this fandom, so GOD BLESS YOU! I already knew just by seeing your username that it would be spectacular - I love the insightful comments you've posted @ the LJ community and at the episode discussion posts, so you really get these characters so well. And this fic only further proves it

These comments of yours have seriously MADE MY WEEK. I love when people get really enthusiastic about fic and leave such thoughtful detailed reviews, and writing new characters is so nerve-wracking, so this just made me feel really good. Seriously, thank you so much.

I can't believe how long this fic turned out. The first draft was about half this, but I spent a long time waffling about the ending, and while that was going on, the middle just kept expanding. I blame Mindy and Danny--they would just not stop talking!

This was a fun read. I'm looking forward to the next chapter!

Thanks! I don't know if you saw, but there's a link to Part 2 at the end of this chapter (it's complete--just posted in 3 parts because of LJ being weird).
