I freaking loved this. It's rare to find a 'relationship' fic that doesn't compromise the characters, and this really lets them shine through. (I don't know West Wing, but I do really like the character of Kate as written here (if that makes sense).)

I love the way you write Prentiss (yay!), I love the way you incorporate both characters' lives into their story, and I love this:

Can we do this? Are we strong enough? Will I hurt you like other people have hurt me? Will you look at me one day and forget why you love me?

so much I choked up. Beautiful.

Thank you so much! I was really trying to keep in character and I'm so happy you think it worked.

Prentiss lives in my brain, so I'm always happy when people like how I write her.

This was really good! On a whim, I decided to read, because really, who can resist Kate Harper? Luckily, I've read enough CM fic to have a handle on Emily and they work well together. This piece read very honest, for lack of a better word. The progression of events, the keeping of secrets, the moments of honesty, all were lovely. Thank you for the lovely journey!

Thank you! There really isn't enough Kate fic in the world so I'm happy to add to it. Glad you enjoyed it!

This fic made me so happy. It's just joyful in that quiet, content way of two people building a life together.

Thank you! I was really going for that - no drama, no explosions, just how I think it would work between them.

Great fic! I loved how you brought their work lives into the relationship, the missed calls and emails were perfect. I also really enjoyed the slow building of their relationship from friends to something more. You handled the aftermath of the drunken night together really well. Totally loved this fic.

Thank you!! I was a little concerned about doing the morning after the night before stuff, but I'm glad it seems to have worked okay.

Comment fic! I heart this so much! I'm thinking about writing more in this universe and I think Garcia could definitely be awesome in it. And Margaret with LOLcats - I can totally see that!

Thank you so much for all your help - I think I would've just given up without it!

Also, your icon is *gorgeous*.
