Oooh! Thank you! The idea just struck me so funny - her with two first names and him with two last names. I wonder if they did that on purpose?

First off, OMG Tweeter! Fancy seeing you here.

Secondly, Excellent fic, squeelated! You have their voices down. I especially like the “And you can kiss my ass,” she says with a smile that’s turned anything but friendly. “You do realize I’m a marshal, too? I’m not here to get your fricking coffee!”

hmm. i need a IPS icon.

*chuckle* That particular line does make me giggle. Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed it.

Eeeeeee! *does happy dance* Love. It. Perfectly in character, too. XD

[squeelated]

Thank you so much! It's hard to know if something is in character when it's so new. (So new to me as a writer and so new in general!) Thanks for the feedback!

[scarletumbrella]

Exactly! That's why this was such a treat. :)

First Meeting

Very nicely done! I can easily imagine this as a flashback, with no change to the dialogue at all. I don't know if it rings true for her to punch him when they first meet, since it seems overly familiar, but everything else works for me as if the show's writers had penned this. Congrats!

Thanks so much for the feedback! And I totally understand what you're saying. To me, it seems like Mary has plenty of boundaries around her, but takes absolutely no notice of other people's boundaries, so it didn't seem out of the realm of possibility for her to be overly familiar. But the characters are so new, who's to say, right? We're all filling in the blanks at this point.
