Author's Note: For waltzmatildah who wanted 5 defeats. I may have taken that metaphorically as well as literally. And yes, I'm just as stunned that I wrote this as you probably are. It's worth noting here that I'm a casual viewer and as such my canon

Firstly, THANK YOU!

Secondly, HOLY FUCKING THANK YOU!

Lastly, this is seriously EVERYTHING I could have hoped for with this prompt. The intricacies of their push/pull relationship are definitely what's drawn me so completely into this show. And you've captured it all so, freaking "spot on" here. There is seriously nothing that couldn't fit with what we know about them.

Thank you so much for filling this prompt with such perfection! (And also for shipping C/K because, as my GA desires die a slow and painful death, I was really freaking out that we'd all drift - unintentionally - apart! Yay for Cary and Kalinda saving the day!)

Man, I seriously need more TGW icons.

LOL, girl, what in the world are you thanking me for. I've totally wanted to write them for eons (read: since the season started) but never really knew if I'd have the audience for it? Or, let's face it, if I could pull it off at all.

I totally didn't even know you were watching. How weird is that? But yeah, they're a huge part of what's drawn me into the show so much this year.

I'm right there with you on Grey's. I feel like I'm losing touch with some of my fandom friends so it's great when we move on to new fandoms together.

You and me both on the icons. I had to specially upload one so that I could post (cause I'm anal and have to have the right icon).

I'm so, so thrilled that you liked this! Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to try a new fandom with such a great prompt :)

Or, let's face it, if I could pull it off at all. Pffft!

I had to specially upload one so that I could post (cause I'm anal and have to have the right icon). Heh! Me too! Only mine was so I could reply to a comment! Haha! It's an Alicia one though, so now I need some C+/K to add to my choices.

Thanks again for filling this prompt so perfectly!

THANK YOU.

There is seriously a lack of love for Cary/Kalinda in the TGW fandom. And you have just made up for that with your phenomenal writing. You really nailed both characters perfectly. I love all the little quirks of their relationship that make them work so well together and you really highlighted those.

Seriously...thank you for writing them. I was beginning to think I was the only one who actually liked the idea of them together.

[slybrunette]

I know, what's up with the lack of them? They're awesome. More people need to recognize that.

Haha, you're not alone bb. So. Not. Alone.

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

Yesssssssss

This is so great and so them and why is there not tons more Cary/Kalinda fic?!?!

[lady_with_cats]

EEE. This is awesomesauce, seriously. I love Kalinda's headvoice, and how she half wants this and half doesn't care, and the half-wanting part confuses her (but doesn't confuse Cary) but it doesn't change anything and-

Basically I want to roll in your characterizations forever.

(Also Cary has money on Peter winning the election. OF COURSE HE DOES. :D)

[waltzmatildah]

Your reaction is my reaction! (minus the BB part). And that's even taking into consideration that I posted the prompt! Haha!!!
