Oh this fic.
Oh Andy.
Oh my darlings.
I just...THIS is the Andy I want to see in the show again! This is the Andy/Nancy that I want to see in the show again. I feel like this is a confrontation (especially the stuff about Copenhagen) that really needs to happen between them. I just want them to be building to some release with them on the show, y'know?
Also, this section

She hates him and she hates herself for fighting him when he looks at her like that.

But, then, he doesn’t look at her like that much anymore.

Basically broke my heart. So perfect.
When do you start writing for the show?

I'm waiting for them to fight. I've been waiting for them to fight pretty much since the third episode when she was firmly back in the drug business and he knew. You know how every time they're sitting somewhere for a long period of time, like the bus stop or the various waiting rooms, there's some kind of fight? Yeah, I so thought that would be them at the softball game. Alas. So I wrote this. Because I miss them and, I don't know, I needed this to happen on paper if not on the screen. Especially because I feel like we've had nothing but Andy/Nancy tension for two seasons and then they just kind of...drop the ball. Then again, it has been three years for them. It's only been a handful of months for us.

Haha, if I could get a job on this show, I would be on a plane to California in a heartbeat. Do you hear me writers? lol.

Thanks so much hun! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

This is fantastic; you have their voice spot on and I would love to see this kind of tension between them played out on the screen because damnit, writers, their relationship is a thing, don't you get it?

I swear, I don't understand what the writers are doing this season. Did they forget the last two seasons? Or the last six? This is totally a thing and it needs to be dealt with ASAP.

Thanks so much hun! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Okay, seriously, why haven't I watched this show yet? If it's ANYTHING like what I just read above, I need to get on that ASAP.

Girl, I love you. Like. How you went about reading this and making some sense of it enough to like it is beyond me but just...lol. I hope you watch. There is not nearly enough people in this fandom and these two would probably turn you into a pile of goo like they have me.

Thanks so much for reading this hun! I really appreciate it, especially since you're unfamiliar with the fandom and all. That's really sweet :)

New reader here...just found this site. Love it! The comment posted about how you totally get their voice is spot-on. I've been waiting for a big fight/confrontation all season, too, and it's been oh so underwhelming. I will always maintain that the bonds between these two characters are what make/break this show. It's felt like a ghost of its former greatness without the "always drama," as Shane put it so eloquently.
