*squishes your Mary* Lovely, wonderful fore and aft of the A&A 'verse. Mary making the decision that saves her life, and ultimately, ends it. The start of the road leading her to hunting, to the 'family business, to John. The end of the road, still hunting, still with family the most important, quitting while she was ahead. *wrings out towel used for mopping up the tears*

Request? Can I has a happy fic now? Your last few have left me wishing I had a swimming pool instead of a house....

[irnan]

Happy fic? Um... that's... oh, like, fluff, right?

Glad you liked it, thanks ever so!
