You are so lucky you got to meet Joel McHale! :)

This was seriously great! I like how you took it from different angles, and we got to hear from the whole group.

It was also really hilarious that Pierce was the first to guess! Abed's gonna have to work at keeping up! ;)

[dearygirl]

Thank you so much! Yeah, I decided to give Abed a break as the all-knowing member of the group. Pierce has to get something right at some point.

(And yeah, Joel McHale is awesome)

Really, really this is one of my favorite pieces of fanfic ever, in any fandom. You write them with such patience, and yet at the same time create tension that's thick and completely delicious.

This isn’t what living in the moment is supposed to be, right? ... It’s Jeff after all and if there’s one thing she knows about him (there are a million things she knows about him but she can’t think about those right now) it’s that he does avoidance really well ...

This paragraph has been so simple and great from the moment you added it; I love the callback to living in the moment, and some of her old insecurities. It really keeps your Annie feeling like Annie.

It’s nothing, it’s friendship, it’s Jeff, it’s Annie, it’s normal - these are the things everyone else believes, so. It must be true.

*sigh* Oh how I love that this show has gotten us to this point.

they’ve all holed themselves up at Pierce’s, getting drunk and daring each other to do increasingly unrecognizable renditions of Lady Gaga songs and ordering pizza so many times that

Thank you! A million times over.

I just noticed on this read that I love that you have Britta come up and save her from that moment of fear.

I'm so glad you liked this part. It was important to me that Jeff not be Annie's sole source of happiness. That he was a big part of it, yes, but that she also had this entire world of friends that were going to be there for her no matter what.

It's like Kerry says, they have "Jeff and Annieisms;

They DO! They're different with each other than they are with anyone else in the group. Some one needs to catalog these Jeff/Annieisms

And if we somehow got the bedroom scene in there too, well. No one in the world should complain

I have to credit you for helping me to see the error of my ways in leaving this out originally. It TOTALLY needed to be there. And now that scene is maybe one of my favorite things I've ever written. So THANK YOU!

Oh, gosh, this was so lovely. Beautiful writing, and I absolutely adored the slow-burn of the romance, and the tenderness in the scene where they're just exploring each other was so wonderful, and Jeff's remaining jealousy over Vaughn was perfection, and that ending! That ending was a thing of brilliance. This fic was awesome in every way, loved it!

[dearygirl]

I'm glad you like it! I kind of love Vaughan so I'd love if came back from Delaware and just remained an annoyance in Jeff's side for the rest of the show.

Thank you so much for the comment!

[dearygirl]

Oh thank you so much!!!

[dearygirl]

Thank youuuuuuuuuu!!!

Haha, yeah, I'm going to be upset if it turns out that they did not all spend the entire summer at Pierce's. I've read it so many times now that that's just the way it's going to have to be. Lol.
