I *like* this, especially the last two sentences. They're jumping in with both feet, and they actually aired all their issues and got it together. One year later, but still!

Not related, but check your email when you get a chance. =)

Haha, yes the one year later part... they're slow, what can I say? ;)

I sent you two somethings in reply.

I really love this, they got together and it wasn't a happy ending right away. But they did figure it out in the end and best of all they did that together. And even when they're being all awkward and nervous they manage to be just... adorable.

Thank you! I really wanted to focus on this one moment between them, so I'm glad it came across as I intended.

*g* It definitely did

I really like it, it's so great!

Thanks! *g*

John looks distinctly uncomfortable, and Elizabeth is not in the mood. "Don't act like I'm sending you to your death, John," she scoffs, "it's just a conversation."

That's them right there. The whole fic is adorable, from John cooking to the angst to the mutual decision to go for what they want.

Thank you. :) I can see even Elizabeth's patience running thin after a certain point. This is not new ground they're covering.

Ah, you cut the last section completely. I think it works much better with this ending than the other. Eh, we disagreed majorly on this one, huh? :D

sugargroupie January 21 2008, 16:27:03 UTC

Yes, and I think it works better too. Though I am still not completely pleased with the way it turned out. I can do *so* much better. *sigh*

Hey, it wouldn't be the first time we've butted heads over fic. "Never Over" ringing any bells? rofl.
