Cheers lovely - you're a little sweetie. ♥

[unconditional_w]

oh you.
it hurts so well <3

Again. You've let her make the rules again, Em. When is it your turn?

[flister]

Yes yes yes. That line. Thank you. I really tried to make this about more plot than fluff, you know? Like try and fill in some of those blanks that made them who they were at the start of S4, and then in subsequent episodes.

So glad you picked that one.

♥ you.

This is just lovely, flister, and it's a very pleasant surprise to see you writing Naomily again!

[flister]

Cheers dude, just one of those ones where you think about it on the train for a year and then you decide to actually write it. So it was cathartic more than anything!

[flister]

Oh mate, thank you! Missing scenes are my sneaky selfish way of fixing things for myself ;) Like There! that's better!' sort of vibe, you know? And if they make sense to all you lot as well then that's a mega bonus.

I hope I find the time too! Perhaps once this festival I'm running is out of the way I'll be able to!

Thanks again, big ♥ to you.

I've been sitting here for a full five minutes, mentally tossing up what I want to say, and I can't settle on anything really. Because this was just... I have no words.
This was perfect. Bang on, just so... So very good.
You have the most exquisite turn of phrase, and such a gift for dialogue. I felt like I was watching the show again, seeing something that I wished we'd got the chance to see. We saw so much angst, got none of this lovely, quiet intimacy. It was beautiful. And yet not, flavoured with the knowledge of what was coming. Just fucking wonderful.
Thank you.

[flister]

Ah bless you, thanks sweetness.

That's a huge compliment, saying that it feels like watching the show, so thanks massively! I strive for canon with a twist so if it's getting there then that's immense.

Really glad you liked it - thank you!

(And, I must add, that although thoroughly inappropriate for this fic your icon is one of the best things I've ever seen ever. *sigh*)

[lazy_boo]

Yeah, I was pretty thrilled with the artwork that pennylane101 did for my fic, and this icon was (clearly) my favourite =)

And is it still a huge compliment if I'm just stating facts? IDEK. Your writing is exceptional. I have envy. And delight in reading it.
