Aw, this was so much better than canon. Total love! Also great timing for posting...made waiting in line way better!

Thanks! (I like reading fic on my phone too.)

Love it! Man do I ever wish things had gone that way.

....and Keith catching them was hilarious. I'm still laughing.

Thank you! I initially left Keith out altogether, but then decided it would be more fun if he just showed up a little later.

HOORAY for awesome AU fic! God I love it when you take something the show did horribly wrong and make everything right with the world. Kudos!

I have to say that I thought this was particularly well done given how high emotions were riding during this particular period. But thank you for having Veronica actually express feelings along with her ultimatums to Logan -- and to try to actually explain why she needed him to stop behaving the way he was behaving! (I just love it when you crazy writers give those characters actual motivation and GROWTH.) I also thought the comparison between Logan after Lilly's death and Logan during this new war with the PCHers was a particularly apt one -- well spotted!

Oh if only this is the way it had REALLY gone down. *SIGH* You know, I think I shall just simply choose to remember that it did. Take THAT Rob Thomas!

Thanks for posting this -- you have no idea how much I needed it today!

It sounds like everyone I know is having a rough go lately, so I'm glad I posted something with a happy ending!

I really didn't like how the show handled this--even if the characters had to break up for story purposes, it could have been done better. Plus, I just don't think Logan would have left things at that, even after getting tossed out by Keith.

Excellent fic with moving dialogue--just the right thing to stop Logan in his tracks and make him think about the consequences to V and himself! Thanks for this quality VM fic!

I was a little nervous about the dialogue since a section was right from the transcript, so I'm glad it worked for you! Thanks for commenting, as always!

Now that's the way it should have gone.

I'm totally in LoVe with this story. It sweet but not sweet all at the same time and I like how you ptotrayed the softer side to Logan so well. It was truely wonderful and funny (especially when Keith walked in on them necking).

Ah I think I've died and gone to fic heaven. Don.

I thought it sounded like Keith to use a word like 'necking.' :)

Thanks for your comments!
