"She didn’t know what was worse - life without Arizona or Arizona without life."
i LOVE this. and i definitely feel like Arizona has been without her lively personality as of late. i want her back!

awesome start, i'm excited to see where it goes :)

[force_lightning]

Aww, thank you so much reading! And yes, I definitely miss perky, happy Arizona! All I can do is think about how adorable she was in Season 5--we need to see some of that onscreen soon or I might cry. Sad Arizona is no good, and it's making me write a lot of sad-Arizona fic. But I think things (both on the show and in this fic) will get better soon! :D

You can't pretend that's not just at least a little bit fluffy. Or at least, hopeful? I love hopeful.

Pretty sure I'd read your stuff even if it was hopeless, though, 'cause I love it. And I love your structures and the way you get into their heads and... Just wonderful!!! Love seeing fic from you.

[force_lightning]

Yes, yes, definitely hopeful! Now that I think about it, this fic isn't quite as depressing as I've painted it. Things are definitely going to get better for both our girls. And I'm glad you'd read my stuff even if it were depressing, but I'm not going to torture either of us too much anymore, so on to the hopeful we go! :D Thanks so much for your encouraging words!

Really amazing. And the pieces was a nice theme through all of the stories. You've managed to sum up Arizona for me this season, "She didn’t know what was worse - life without Arizona or Arizona without life" Just an amazing line.

[force_lightning]

Thank you! And I know--Callie might think it's hard living without Arizona, or living with an Arizona who's hurting so bad, but the fans are hurting mightily too! All I want is to see a happy Arizona on my screen again. Thanks again for your kind words!

You write really well - Quite emotive for short drabbles but they are also quite depressing too lol - Poor Arizona!

[force_lightning]

Thank you, and they'll get a little less depressing soon so don't worry!

Your drabbles always are so lovely. I envy your ability to capture so much emotion in such a small amount of wording. The whole idea of them being shaky before Africa/baby is interesting. We (myself included) love to think of them as this perfect, pink bubble couple (totally something to say about pink bubbles, btw). But they have real problems like any couple.

And I can't imagine just bouncing right back after something so incredibly life-altering.

The interlude was awesome as well. Great to see something longer from you. I was sad when it ended, so please please update it soon. :)

Lovely writing. Gah, it's just so great!

[force_lightning]

Awww, thank you!

I think that a number of the issues that led up to/came out during their first break-up were never really resolved or adequately addressed. Everything post-S6 finale and pre-Africa was too pink bubble-y, and as much as we love the pink bubble, it's ultimately very fragile. If Callie and Arizona want to move forward into the kind of deep, rock-solid relationship they both want and deserve, they're going to have to do a lot more to try to understand each other's perspective. Which means more talking!

Thank you again--that you like my writing means a lot. And not to put any pressure on you, but I'm SUPER excited for the final part of "You Picked Me." I actually just went over to your fic journal to make sure I hadn't missed it!

[roughian]

Yes, I agree with everything you said.

I'm writing the last part now. Hopefully it'll be up tonight. :)
