OH my gosh, dancing Office-ers of wonderment and happiness!

You just made my day :)

This reminds me, I've had a hankering for some Pam/Ryan fic lately. Did you ship them? I think you did. Any recs?

Two Will/Rachel fics in one day!! I'm going to die of happiness.

I love everything in this, especially whenever stars are mentioned, and how you write them into the opening and closing of this chapter. Let's say, Rachel Berry and stars are one!!:D

Oh my god, I know, wasn't Catja's CRAZY ASS GOOD? I read it twice.

And thank you so much for the comment! :)

BB! I HAVE 7 MORE CHAPTERS WRITTEN ALREADY!

Steph, my beta, is valiantly going over the newest stuff for me now, because I keep going back and adding. Seriously, she's going to be so sick of this thing by the time it's done because she's probably read it five times already :)

And eep! for multi chapters! The first one I ever did is STILL unfinished (House!fic, from like a year and a half ago) Circles was a series by accident, but it was like stupidly fun to write so I didn't crack under the pressure ;)

Anyway, THANK YOU! for the comment, and I hope you love the rest as much as you do the prologue! *hugs!*

It's Will/Rachel Christmas! My favorite kind of Christmas. I love how it starts, with this piece of information about Rachel that's so important. I can't wait for the rest!

[0penhearts]

Haha, right? I can't get over Catja's fic.

Thank you so much for commenting! The story started originally from the Will/Rachel parts, but this element became so important pretty early on in writing it.

I hope you keep enjoying it!

Dude, yes. I love that you're taking a lot of time to set up the situation, and to show us where Rachel is at this point in her life. I've always loved your knack for conveying Rachel's alienation from other people; that last paragraph is amazing. I cannot WAIT for the rest of this.

IN SHORT, YOU ARE SERIOUSLY AWESOME. <33333333333

EEEeeee!

The first part of this (which will be posted tonight or tomorrow) kind of made me want to barf because there's so much exposition (and straight exposition mostly annoys me, lol), but overall I feel like it's working out to make myself take my time wit h things.

I've always loved your knack for conveying Rachel's alienation from other people;
Rachel to me is such a sad character; she's constantly apart and I think the line begins to blur as to how much she sets herself up for it and how much she just doesn't have people in her life who understand her and can give her what she needs. And yet she's so hopeful, and she keeps trying to connect.

I *love* exposition, and it's necessary with future!fic like this. I think you're doing a great job. :)

YES, THIS. That is an absolutely brilliant way of describing her. She's so heartbreaking, because of it.
