Community, jeff/annie
Jeff agrees to a night of babysitting. Of course that decision comes back to haunt him. Thus, Annie comes to save him not only from a crying baby, but also the growing loneliness inside of himself.

But then a slobbery baby and a wide-eyed cardigan-wearing twenty-something entered his apartment. And things changed.

Aw, gee thanks to you. Glad that you liked it.

So so so lovely.

There is a part of him that’s afraid that he will break it in another way, break something far more delicate. Like he’ll break this moment where she understands him, like somehow she has crossed into the territory of the people who can hold. Those people. Basically, everybody. But him.

I love this section. Wonderful work. <3

I like the idea of Annie chipping away slowly but surely at Jeff Winger. It seems she has the ability to do that, kind of peel away this exterior. So, yay! Glad you liked it.

damn this was good. And I loved the observations you made about Jeff and Annie being similar people.

Annie and Jeff are just as selfish as each other, and deep inside as daddy-issued, vulnerable, and sweet people. And so, basically, they are the same person in a lot of ways. But also different enough to make each other better. So, you know. OTP-ness. Hoorah!

Thanks for reading, hon! :D

Very visceral. You hit a few notes I'm hitting in a fic I'm writing currently, and I couldn't help but smile.

Also, I couldn't help but think about that scene in Grosse Pointe Blank where Blank is at the reunion and he's holding this baby on his lap, and they stare into each others eyes and have this moment.

I cannot wait for your fic. Cannot wait.

Because at some point, from the transition of being a Jeff/Britta shipper to being a Jeff/Annie shipper, I had to ask myself why I had jumped ship. And it occurred to me in this fic why I love them. Because on the outside they are very different people, but they've got these deep, deep issues that they both share and those issues have molded them into the people they are today. Jeff responded with apathy, Annie with unrelenting pathos. But, deep down, they both get each other. And that's why I love those kids.

Also, shipper moments with babies? FAVORITE.

You also should probably inform me once you post your fic, yeah?

Absolutely.

"Because on the outside they are very different people, but they've got these deep, deep issues that they both share and those issues have molded them into the people they are today. Jeff responded with apathy, Annie with unrelenting pathos."

Man, we're on the same page! Though my fic is not a happy one, I'll for sure let you know.
