Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it. XD; In truth, I had way too fun writing this essay and trying to justify it--"they... um... looked at eachother once?"--so I love it when people say something other than "wow you are on crack" and hit me. XD I'm very glad you liked it. ^^

I doubt anyone else can pull off such angst from this pairing than you

Of course, I'm - far as I know - the only person who has ever written it [in an angsty way], so I wouldn't count on that too much. XD;;
