Yay, thank you so, SO much! I truly didn't think I'd ever touch fic again after Lost, and then The River randomly spurred some ficlets and then I rewatched a few episodes of OUaT and my brain went bonkers, haha.

I also really like Kathryn/Jim -- I don't know why they of all their pairings captured my attention, given that they've had one whole episode together, but I already adore them.

And thank you again, so much, for the amazing feedback -- it's so appreciated, especially after so long out of the game. ;D

I've been looking for Kathryn/Jim fic, and I'm so excited you wrote it!! This is brilliant, the way you get inside Kathryn's head in a way that seems so in character, the slow build, and the wonderfulness of these two <3

I'm so glad! There seems to be a fair amount of love for Kathryn/Jim in the fandom (though I'm really not a part of it and only kind of aimlessly drift through Tumblr sometimes, haha).

And I'm so pleased you think this is IC, considering that I don't really feel like I've got a good grasp of any characters on the show or their voices yet. Thank you so, so amazing for the amazing feedback -- you're awesome! :D

(Oh man, icon love -- I haven't been able to find any Frederick/Abigail icons yet, though I doubt I'm looking everyone I could.)

And I'm so pleased you liked this! That scene in particular really appeared out of nowhere, but I kind of dug the idea of finding a way to express Kathryn taking back her power in a very tangible way. Wasn't sure if it was wildly OOC or not, so thank you so much for the incredible feedback!

I definitely hope more people jump on this OTP train -- I keep thinking I'm going to run dry of ideas for them, giving the as-you-mentioned lack of screentime and the summer hiatus, but so far so good and I really hope to find more out there. (Which reminds me -- I read all your stuff on ff.net and ADORED it! I'm so bad at leaving reviews sometimes and really need to remedy that habit.)
