I already left a comment at the actual fic but I feel like I should leave another comment because it was just that good. It's dark and twisty, painful to an extent but at the end there's just that glimmer of hope that one of these days, they'll get it right.

Brilliance, as always.

I swear you're just deprived of fic so you're being overly kind. Also, I had every intention of writing happier or maybe smuttier fic but, dude, that prompt begs for angst.

Thanks again bb!

Does that mean if I leave another prompt there's hope? I'm not deprived of fic at all.

And it was fantastic, no matter what the circumstance.

Potentially. I don't make promises but, you know.

Man, I really liked this.

And I don't even ship them. Any more. Though I still have the appropriate (or not) icons.

I find it amusing that you still have icons and yet I don't.

I'm glad you liked it hun! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

I have a really hard time giving up icons I really love even once they aren't my thing any more.

Shocking to hear, I'm sure, but I sometimes get overly attached to things.

You and me both. I only just got rid of my old S5 M/L icon from when I used to ship that, lol. Oh how times have changed.

With the way they've made Cristina lately on the show, I would welcome a return of these two. The opening and closing lines of this I think really make this, really hit at what they are and just the timing of everything.

Word. Cristina's characterization was an absolute disaster during the beginning of this season, and it makes me miss these two even more.

I'm so glad you enjoyed this! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!
