This is fabulous. So much fun. I chortled a lot, even though canon kept happening. Like it does. Your Melissa voice is the best. I love the relationship between Melissa and Scully here. I'm going to have to read this again, definitely.

You are very sweet. I got canon screwed up a lot; just ask Wendy. You know, writing is HARD.

"But first we'll have sex." :snorfle:

Love that.

Hey, I have my priorities straight.

This turned out so well. You should be pleased. I know I am. Yes, writing is hard but it's worth the effort, don't you think? I hope I was dictatorial, nit-picky and rigid--but in a wonderful way.

Favorite lines:

And I have new-found insight. He was bleeding inside. Men show their love with football videos. The ones without romance practice.

Very wry humor.

And this was lovely and insightful:

She remembered putting her arms around her partner, feeling very, very bad for him. And of course that was the reason for the numb. Feeling for other people who suffer is worse than suffering yourself, when there's nothing you can do. Hold onto the distance.

It's amazing the way you weave together the light and dark elements of the series, alternating comedy and tragedy without losing control of the tone or the narrative line.

Your praise is astonishing. You have made me happy enough to sleep w/o dreaming. And you know I didn't mean the rigid thing. Dictatorial and nit-picky, yes.
