WHY ARE YOU SO PERFECT, WOMAN!? I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT'S EVEN POSSIBLE.

And I'm sorry for ninjaing you, lady. I really did mean to write that other thing for you and then whooosh. This came up and I thought you might like it. So I'm very glad that you did.

HAH. You did fabulous, Zoe.

(And it's your gift, babe, if you'd like see it as genuine affection...well, you are more than welcome to it, I suppose. xD) AND LOL. You may assume he proves her wrong in many sexy ways. Yes. And then she'll become the self assured, confident, collected Wash we love so well.

I AM SO GLAD YOU LIKED IT OMG. I WAS WORRIED. EEEEEEEEEEEEEE! *tacklehugs*

I AM NOT THE PERFECT ONE, YOU ARE!

When you ninja me with things like this, I am never going to complain, beauty!

(See, the way you say that means I am wrong. So smugness it is ;) )

NEVER BE WORRIED. I love your writing darling, I truly truly do! <3<3<3 *clings*

OH MY LOVE, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME!? There was emotion, SO MUCH EMOTION and sexy and SOMEHOW it made it perfect and I totally sympathize for Wash but at the same time I totally dont cuz she's about to have mad sex with Miles. SO I DON'T REALLY FEEL ALL THAT BAD FOR HER.

However she doesn't place and that was heart wrenching BUT THEN MILES WAS ALL 'OH BITCH, LOOK AT ME. I'M SECOND BEST BUT I CAN DELIVER!' oh it was awesome. So so so so awesome and I love it. I loved that it was a little sad but it works out for her for a little while at least and I loved that Miles could see through her façade and i loved that he followed her and then toyed with her and made her want to stop looking in and and GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH!

That is all. THAT IS THE BEST I CAN DO AT THE MOMENT. GUH. AND LOVE AND JUST GUH, HAWT DAYUM, GURL.

You frakken goddess *snuggles*

So many capslocks so early in the morning made my eyes cross a little bit, I will admit to this. xD

YEAH! DON'T FEEL BAD FOR HER! She just needs to get her act together and things! Which she gets to do. SEXILY!

xD Your summation of things continues to be the greatest thing in the damn universe. AND LOLS.

*clutches* Heeee, nonsense, dear, I do believe you're the goddess for getting me to smile like such a derpy nerd.

You ever see that Dane Cook skit about how women are brain ninjas. Congrats. You have just ninja'd my brain.

I have not one damn idea how to interpret this phrase. xD

It's been a while since I've read a Wash/Miles fic and this was just the perfect one to start with. I loved everything about it. The way Miles sees through Wash and her well meaning attempts to please. She's young here and I love how Miles knows this and also his certainty that this phase will pass. And sooner rather than later if he has anything to do with it. Second best is still placing, yes. Definitely. But I hardly consider Miles second best and I love the idea that she'll see this soon enough on her own. He's cocky enough to know it himself already. He's just giving her time. And I love her and Miles together in this point in her life than I would her and Nathaniel. The way I see it, she can truly be herself, won't have to play up to anyone's idea of her (even Nathaniel's since that's what he wants to see at this point in time) and won't be judged for it. Hell, Miles would encourage it.

Your writing is amazing! Can't wait for more of your Wash/Miles fics.
