hey dear!

I want to thank you so much for the chance of us working together. I've done the BB for a few years and I always said I'd love for the chance of one day being claimed right away because I always stayed for later, I wanted for someone to *really* want my fic for a chance and not as an afterthought. And this year I almost didn't make it since I was having some trouble finishing this story, I almost gave up but I'm soooo happy I made it, specially for making you really want to work with it. And I'm always so nervous to get an artist since it's really a lottery, and this year it really did feel like I won it. You made amazing pieces, much much more than I would ever hope for, and you gave my story an extra life. thank you so so so much for the work, it was a huge pleasure working with you!! you're very talented and I'm honored for the beautiful pieces! many kisses and hugs!

Hey sweetheart,

It really was my pleasure and I was thrilled when I discovered you were the author who wrote my first choice of story to claim!

I'm so glad you did finish the story as your talent shines and it would be a tragedy to deny everyone the chance to read another of your fabulous stories! I'm super happy that I made your day by being claimed early on in the claiming...I know I was super happy when my favourite first choice was confirmed! :)

You were an absolute delight to work with and I would love to work with you again... I'll keep my fingers crossed I will be lucky enough to work with you again.

Your story is excellent and I'm so pleased you liked the artwork as much as I liked your story.

Not only did you write a magnificent story, but you were organised and so friendly and helpful...The "perfect" partner and someone who I now consider a good friend too!

Love & kisses xxx

What a cool idea to integrate signlanguage into the artworks! I also really like the colourful images in the chapterheaders and the cute end banner - a great contrast with the more sober storyheader <3
The snuggle manip is SWEET! Good stuff:)

Thank you so much! :)

I just seemed fitting to go with the emotions in the story, from the subdued and negative elements in both Jensen's and Jared's lives to the happy and positive outlook for both of them at the end of the story...and all the little things portrayed in the markers that had such a big impact on them along the way!

It was a fun and delightful story to create art for! :)
