Thank you so much. I do not know why I didn't write the NC-17 bits, since I so wanted to write about Nina's breasts, but alas, I did not. *woe*

Am so glad you enjoyed. :)

*applause* I love what you did with this. Dawn and Nina are (for me) really hard to write, but you have them down cold. And now I crave an iced mocacchino something *fierce*. Wonderful story!

Thank youuu! I was sort of fretful about writing Nina, but after watching "Unleashed" she really clicked with me. Mmm, mochas. :)

This is a wondeful fic, Ari. Truly excellent work. You took a pairing more or less out of left field and really made it sing, diving deep into the character and making all kinds of deep thematic points. You not made it make sense, you made it mean something more.

Oh, thank you so much, hon. I was *hoping*... I'm glad it worked.

This was just... perfect! One of my favorite aspects of this is how it doesn't forget that they aren't normal, but it still lets them act "normal". They flirt, they take strangers home after the first meeting, they eat breakfast. Wanting to eat bunny rabbits doesn't take that away from Nina.

I think you really showed how Dawn could be really good for Nina because she is so used to "monsters". Like the end, where Dawn gets Nina to laugh about it, I think Dawn could show Nina that being a werewolf isn't the end of the world.

And since I'm obviously over-analyzing this pairing, I'll go to work now! Thank you for sharing such an incredible fic! What a great way to start the day...

Yes, it's the normal thing. :) Because I know one of the things Doyle likes about both characters is their normalacy in the midst of weirdness, and that makes them fun to write. So yes, I totally convinved myself of this pairing while writing it. *joys* I am so glad you enjoyed!

(And now, for an encore, Fred/Nina fic just screaming to be written.)

I want to read Fred/Nina soooooo much!

*offers cookies*
