MY HEART HAS EXPLODED. I always love how you incorporate details from the show into your AUs.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I'm practically singing with delight over this. It's such a great balance of humor with UST, and can I say that I'm kind of hoping this goes over three parts because you have such a talent for writing epics? But I'm happy with whatever you decide to give us, because every venture is so freaking delightful that I never want it to end. :)

I love everything this fic chooses to be. It's honestly brilliant the way you've pulled the AU aspects in around familiar Ben/Leslie moments, but made everything new again at the same time. Just...ugh...SO good.

Can't wait for more!

I was hoping someone would write this prompt and I'm so glad it was you! This is seriously fantastic.

Loved the eye-reveal - it felt very intimate, yet I loved the humor in that scene. X-men, indeed!

Can't wait to see where you go with this!

OMG SO MANY FEELINGS.

I loved the wip snippet you posted on tumblr, and I love this even more. Leslie as President is basically the best thing ever and all I really want out of life, and this AU, and the parallels to canon, are perfect. The scene where Leslie's sees Ben's eyes was so wonderfully intimate, and I love the detail of Ben's backstory and Leslie and Dave. Also, Cyclops! I can't wait to see more.
