Oh goodness! Thank you so very much! I actually made pretty much this same request for Yuletide and now I'm almost regretting it because I love how well you've captured them all here.

Your Maggie is graceful and somehow still a bit fragile even after all she's weathered in life. I love how she justifies to herself that she can look anywhere she likes, Nate be darned, since she's a single woman after all.

Eliot's segment was unexpected and deliciously fun. I love that he's taken in with Nate because he's Nate.

And oh Nate! Nate always makes me smile. The details you put into his perceptions of everyone were wonderful. I particularly liked how Nate thought Maggie was someone different, strange, while she was watching Eliot.

I just can't thank you enough! I'm silly and gushing but it's exactly what I wanted!

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it!

(Maggie was fun to write, because canonically we don't know much about her apart from her being Nate's ex. So I... extrapolated.)

Actually, after this I think I do ship Maggie/Eliot a bit... (I didn't before...)

Great fic! (here from comment_fic)

I love how you portray them - and Sophie's reaction is perfect too :)
