I have now read this three glorious times and am still cobbling together a worthy response. Right now my brain is going:

Shower sex! Even hotter than imagined! Therapy and Alicia - oh, this is how it would go. And oh, oh, oh Kalinda - and that ending is how serious would have to happen between them.

I am in love, for srs.

Awhs, ty babe. I'm glad shower sex met your high expectations (and your expectations SHOULD be high. It's KALICIA. NAKED. IN A SHOWER. Like... the universe might not survive this. There'd be another Big Bang.)

They can never just have hot sex anymore, in my head. It will ALWAYS end with emotional confessions and hair-braiding. Sigh. These girls. Doin' stuff to me.

I almost don't want to comment because this is too perfect and my brain is thinking in flailing keyboard mashing and proposals of marriage, and that doesn't do this any justice whatsoever. So suffice it to say that this is just absolutely gorgeous and I love every single word of it <3

[sweetjamielee]

Well I'm glad you DID comment. It is ALWAYS heartening to know your fic inspired marriage proposals. At this point in my fangirl career, I could prob. be arrested for bigamy, for as many times as I've thrown engagement rings at my fave fic-writers.:)

Thank you; I'm so happy you enjoyed this. It was a pleasure to fix them. I just want them together and happy and giggling and drinking in bed, always.

OMFG... I think your fic was so...complete. Does that even make sense? I don't think I can be that eloquent about what I think but your story was so rich, emotional, and true to the characters even when it's non-canon. The difficult, painful, and awkward periods that you have them experience on their way to rebuilding their relationship are so believable.

Thank you for not just making it smut because I think the back story elevated this to a whole different level of greatness. Greatness isn't even the best word but it's all I can think of at the moment.

My favorite line was “I just… don’t want to disappoint you.” I can totally see Kalinda being so vulnerable yet trying so hard to fix things.

Your ending was killer. If only we really knew what Kalinda would say eh?

Thank you so so much for writing this. Loved it. Hopefully you'll write more goodies in the future :)

[sweetjamielee]

Ah, thank you so much. I'm really, really glad that you felt the history added to the story, rather than "watering down" (ha!) the smut. A LOT would have to happen for them to be okay again, and I just didn't feel like I could ignore that, yanno? It's good to know that it felt REAL to you.

I really appreciate your kind and lovely words! Thanks so much for reading and commenting.

This is a billion times better than any PWP because it made me want to hug them (and also to look at Archie Panjabi forever because you kept reminding me how goddamn pretty she is just with your words) you're so good at writing them. Guh. CAN THIS BE CANON NOW PLZ?!

[sweetjamielee]

(and also to look at Archie Panjabi forever because you kept reminding me how goddamn pretty she is just with your words)
I have this EXACT SAME PROBLEM whenever I write these characters. "BRB taking break to stare at pictures."

Thank you for the lovely compliments. I love writing these two, and I'm glad you found this story fitting for them. <3

Re-read this to detox from work/get ready for FICATHON, and I just wanted to let you know: I CONTINUE TO LOVE EVERYTHING YOU CHOOSE TO BE.

[sweetjamielee]

Um. I LOVE YOU MORE. Thanks for being a fantastic beta, babe.:-*

You better be getting ready to post porn right now.

[threeguesses]

Right, yes. I WAS DISTRACTED BY PROMPTING.
