Thank you!

It wasn't even supposed to be a Frank POV, to be honest, though I love the character. Just thought there was always something weirdly fatalistic about Frank, and it kind of grew from there. :D

(I've really enjoyed all your fics, is it allright if I friend you?)

Oh wow, thank you so much! I almost forgot this one existed, lol, though I love Frank dearly.

And absolutely -- obviously I've been reading yours as well; I'll add you back! :D
