Fabulous! Thank you for this! :) Excellent work! Please do one of Alicia realizing everything like from Jamie's comment posts when you get a chance! Add it to your list! :) ::nods::

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. :-)

I'm kind of tantalised about Alicia finding out all the stuff as an idea. I think I'm going to write the Noble Deeds of Sir Kalinda in list form first.

Love this! I especially love Alicia jokingly offering her a hug and Kalinda breaking down and needing that hug.

[schwarmerei1]

Kalinda so needs a hug right now... Several of them actually.

Alicia and Cary should be sharing the room.

Uh, NO! just...no! No one, ever, BUT Kalicia should share a room. Ever! These girls can only share a room with each other. In case I wasn't clear enough!

“Right, so let’s see if Cary’s room is different.”

Alicia, are you CRAZY? That's like...a gift from heaven. Huggles and all that!

“No, I’m a queen too.”

Teehee. Yes, I'm 12. and yes, Cary, you ARE!

“Fine by me. We should invite Cary over to hang out.”
“We should?” Kalinda looked sceptical.

No, you SHOULDN'T!!! Haven't you seen anything I wrote above? I know you and Cary are BFFs now, but he can't come into Kalicia making out time!

because Kalinda didn’t do pyjamas.

That's fine by me!

“You look really different.” Stating the obvious: smooth. “Good different,” Alicia clarified. “I mean, not that you don’t look good all the time.” This was getting worse. “I like the way you look. Both ways...” Sweet mother-fucking Jesus Alicia, shut the fuck up!

LOL-ing forever and ever!!!

If Laura had told her the same, she knew she

[schwarmerei1]

Bwah! You are one jealous shipper girl!

STOP thinking about Laura, Alicia!
My opinion, the more thinks about her friend Laura, the sooner she's going to realise that Kalinda is more than just a friend. I'm perfectly serious, this is why Laura has been added to the mix.

Glad you approve! ;-)

[mickaela82]

Who me? Nah! *mumbling* if ANYONE comes near Alicia or Kalinda with unclean intentions, I'm gonna cut them!

And can you believe I don't even ship them romantically on the show? Not that I wouldn't be glad if it happened, but...ya know, me = pessimistic!

Hope you're right about Laura. The only thing that the show has been successful this year with me is...making me care less and less.

Thanks again, your fanfiction makes me remember why I used to love them in the first place!

I appreciate the sacrifice you made commenting caffeine-free! Glad you liked the hug!

Love, love, love every trope-y minute. Loved Kalinda teasing Cary about Clarke, and A/K's first-date nervousness of sharing the room, and *noticing* each other, and the unintentional flirting, and the being *open*, and of course, of COURSE, the comforting in the end. I need a hug so bad, but A HUG IN BED, OH MY GOD, I'D DIE. You are awesome for doing this.

My kingdom for a follow-up of Night #1 where things go from sweet to hot. :-O

[schwarmerei1]

Everyone should be teasing Cary about Clarke! I thought Alicia's noticing this ep was a subtextual delight! (Actual dialogue below)
A: You've um, been spending a lot of time with Clarke.
C: Yeah.
A: (breathlessly) Everything okay?
I mean, totes, she's worried they had a fight and wants to make sure Cary is working on patching it up...

I really am expecting a Kalicia hug by season's end. We have earnt it Kings!

I quite like keeping reaction fic quasi plausible, then I can pretend it actually happened. Smut is in the works though... However, your kingdom eh? If that means I get Claire, then I get a free baby and you get free time to WRITE US FIC! This is win/win. I bet you don't mean it though, you're probably quite *fond* of her at this point.

[sweetjamielee]

I am fond of her, it's true! There is a positive relationship between how much you separated your pelvis for another person, and how much you love them. This is a proven fact.

Look, I just have a thing for inadvertent hotel-bed groping that leads to aroused embarrassment and then sexytiemz, okay?? (In fic, between people who clearly want to bone. Just to clarify for any of my friends who might be reading this and are now would be terrified to share a bed with me.) THIS IS TOTALLY PLAUSIBLE IN THIS SCENARIO.

I WANT CARY/CLARKE BABIES.

[schwarmerei1]

Maybe after Cary plays babydaddy for Kalinda and Alicia, Kalinda can have one for Cary and Clarke? Or do you think Alicia wouldn't let her? Kalinda is the sort of person who could surrogate IMO.
