This was wonderful. I love how very realistic and not over the top it is. No big declarations, no cliched magical skills, just the actual characters interacting in a believable way.

Thanks! 'Believable' is one of the greatest compliments in fanfic! :) I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I really wanted this story to be sort of quiet and touching, and more about him than about them, you know?

I totally do. So often I feel like the characters get sacrificed to the plotline (or the author's wish fulfillment) in fic... and this... it didn't feel like that at all.

Thanks! I've certainly done my share of 'wish-fulfillment' fic, but every once in a while I'm inclined to just do something in the realm of friend!fic.

that was great - I loved the moment Weevil came ut of the bedroom, and saw Keith - it certainly took my breath away in surprise!! And you played upcthe tension so well - it was really good.

Hehe...took him by surprise, too! :) Keith is a rascally beast, isn't he? I wish he was in more fic.

I really liked this! I loved the domesticity, just like Weevil did. There's something about people making dinner together that works for me. I also liked how Weevil got to see a side of both Veronica and Keith that few people get to see. Good job!

Thanks! I liked the idea of this being a little slower, a little more organic than the stories I usually write. So glad it worked for you!

Very nice!
I liked getting Weevil's impressions of Keith, & of Keith & Veronica's interactions.

Thanks! It was a lot of fun to write.

You already know how fabulous I think your writing is, but just in case you didn't...

Loved it. Great job, sweetie.
