THIS IS BRILLIANT and I love ever letter of it, ahhhh omg all of my jake and marco feelings, have them

HAVE THEM

[sherrilina]

Wow, thanks, glad you liked it so much, I was a little worried about how it would turn out! :)

And yeah, normally I'm all about the Jake/Cassie feeeels, but writing this (and rereading bits of the series for research--I'd forgotten that Jake basically told Cassie he knew Marco was coming before even asking him!) gave me ALL the J/M feels too!

OMFG I HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS A FANDOM THIS WAS MY PRE-TEEN OBSESSION MAN.

OMG YES IT IS TOTALLY A FANDOM INDEED, A VERY ACTIVE ONE CONSIDERING THE SERIES ENDED OVER A DECADE AGO!!! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU LOVED THEM TOO! :D

You should check out the animorphs comm sometime, it's dropped a little in usage recently because of Tumblr, but still decently active. Pop arena's Animorphs recaps on Youtube are also really funny much of the time--he's doing every book and every episode of the show, I discovered them through his hilarious "Doctor Who Season 6 Skit.". I actually made a Jake/Cassie fan mix way back when too that I need to re-upload sometime...and recently I met KA Applegate's husband and Animorphs co-author Michael Grant, who was hilarious and awesome! :)

Like the Facebook group said, "The Animorphs stole my childhood...but I don't want it back!". (Jake/Cassie=Baby's First OTP, and Jake was my first literary crush, lol! :p)

Oh my god, this is PERFECT. I loved them meeting via lunchboxes, and II, and IV was chilling (the note about Jake scaring him even more than Rachel, SO good), and V made me cry and shove my face in a pillow saying "OH MY GOOOOOD."

What I'm saying is this is great, and my heart is so happy, and thank you thank you thank you. <3
