I'm with everyone else on the peacock line--perfection! I hope we see tons of bold-plaid on Ben in upcoming episodes.

And I loved his shyness/lack of confidence vs. Leslie taking the lead. Such a fun take on their relationship.

Thank you so much for reading! And I agree; a bold-plaid Ben is probably only second to Ben/cardigan/boom-sadness hair.

This might be my favorite of the things you've written :)

Thank you for reading! I had a lot of fun writing this.

That was so so cute.

Re-reading this (why did I not comment months ago?) and it is awesome! I love that Leslie straight-up pursues Ben and that Ben is naturally super awkward about it. :) And peacocking...that is so accurate.

This is so freakin adorable! I love Leslie's willful determination and how it would totally work if only Ben was slightly less Ben. Other people's birthdays have never been this fun for me before.
