Hello new head canon. This was a great build up to the actual first kiss. Great job.

Oh my god you are a beautiful tropical fish and a sexy elf queen and a million other wonderful things I can't begin to tell you.

I was so hoping you'd choose this prompt, because oh god the UST! And you did! And it's GORGEOUS. I am so incredibly impressed that you smashed this out in such a ridiculously small amount of time. You're also a genius at closing lines. "Fall didn't quite come soon enough" took my breath away. Um, okay, enough gushing, haha. You're awesome, bye.

Oh, and I forgot to say - I really really love the thought that maybe Ann was doing her shipping thing and trying to get Leslie and Ben together for a while before Road Trip. I don't know if that's what she was going for when she asked Ben to drive Leslie home, but if it was... Ann you coy bastard!

Thank you!! I'm so glad you prompted this because it was exactly what I wanted to write, I just didn't realize that until I read it. It was a great outlet for what I was feeling that night.

Ann's actions are open for interpretation, I suppose, but I fully intended her shipping them (even if only because someone had to put an end to their endless dorky flirting).

I love this so much. So much canon in my brain. Thank you.

This is so tense and lovely. What can I say that I haven't said a billion times already haha. You have a good grasp of character, you write wonderfully, and number 4 was probably my favorite. Poor Ben (and Leslie). Thanks!

Thank you!

I have a deep, deep love for 5 Times fics, and this was a shining example. All that Season 3 tension was simultaneously the best and the worst, wasn't it?

Thanks! I think they're so much fun to write, even though I tend to go overboard and write too much. The season 3 UST was great--or at the very least, less frustrating that the season 4 tension when they broke up.
