I'm laying in my hospital bed and this chapter has made my day after the worst 2 days of my life (being in hospital is not the reason why it's the worst) I love how they have reacted to one another and I don't normally like vulnerable!jeff but him here in this story is perfect. Can't wait to read the amazingness which will be the Dinner chapter.

That makes me enormously happy (that I could help cheer you up, NOT that you're having the worst 2 days of your life... I'm very sorry to hear that :( /Internet hug). I honestly only started doing this for my own amusement, the idea that others are actually getting something out of this is just mind boggling to me.

I sincerely hope the dinner chapter lives up to your expectations. :)

*sigh* my babies, Domestic! and all Playful!Jeff/Annie are my favourite, I just love how natural it feels for them to fall into this routine and how well they fit, and that together they could just have fun, is one of my favourite things about their relationship ♥
I have a weakness for nice little moments like Annie making Jeff laugh or him watching her so at home at his kitchen (that's one of the fanfic staples that always makes my heart sing) or just generally being impressed and smitten by her, which all comes across clearly even though we see it from Annie's insecure POV. It's endearing and heart-breaking how she tries so hard not to read into things even though Jeff is throwing a War-and-Peace volumes at her to read into (he paid for her in the restaurant, that was a date *gg*) because she had been burned so painfully before. Yet she is willing to put her feelings aside and help her friend, she really is as wonderful as Jeff(and we all) sees her

/Happy sigh. Thank you so much for your comments. The potential for writing those moments were what drew me to this prompt in the first place! I have a weakness for those moments as well. SO much fun to write my own.

I'm a little bit like Annie in some respects (over-analytical, a bit insecure, etc.) so I tried to put myself in her shoes. I'm glad her POV seems authentic.

Haha, yes, Marilyn was intended to remind you of someone... That was a bit of a reaction on my part to the whole "Jeff/Annie is creepy because Jeff is like Annie's dad" thing, which I hate. I could rant about it, but it'd be a long rant, so I won't. :P

Yeah, I guess one of the reasons I love J/A together is how normal they can be together, just the simplicity of them cooking together without shenanigans is possible, like you mentioned with Troy and Abed there would be food on the ceiling and I honestly can't picture Jeff and Britta cooking together, they'd probably start bickering, that is if Britta even can cook,hehe. (I can see her refusing to learn how just because women are supposed to do that in the eye of society, which is exactly how I justify my refusal to learn to cook ;D) And Jeff and Annie are an amazing team at everything ♥

I'm more like Jeff myself (even though I'm a girl,lol) but I really get Annie's character, what makes her tick, better than any other character on the show (and I do relate to her in some aspects,too, particularly I'm familiar with the situation of being the youngest person in a group of sophisticated grown-ups, how it makes you feel inadequate, and just generally the constant struggle of being dismissed just because of your age), so I appreciate

Um, yes, you took the rant out of my mouth. Our parents are models for how adults are "supposed" to be. It makes perfect sense that we'd grow looking for similar traits in a partner that we see in opposite-sex parents. Creepy schmeepy.
