THANK YOU. I really do try and keep things in-verse believable so I'm flattered you thought it was a fairly decent interpretation! I do wish I could force some legitimate development in the characters beyond who they're dating/hooking up with that week, but I guess in some ways that is better left up to fandom because the show has "developed" some characters in really horrifying ways, so.

And, no! I've never seen an episode of Vampire Diaries, LOL. So that wasn't me. But I hope you enjoy my mix anyway! ;D

OMG, THANK YOU.

And I THINK YOU TOTALLY DID. I think I even wrote most of one (before I switched laptops), but stopped because I had a question about where the plot was going. I think I tweeted you? Maybe? IT WAS SO LONG AGO, I MIGHT HAVE EMAILED/DM'D/PM'D BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER. To see what else you wanted or something? If you leave me an email, I don't think I published it. Or if I did, I was stupid and forgot to mention it was for you. (I can't remember what your prompt was, but I can probably check over my old emails and find out.) I am such shit at getting things done on time, but seriously I think I still owe you something so prompt away! LOL AT THE WHOLE AUCTION THING, THOUGH. I am horrible at getting anything done, I've got like three more to write for this one and I'm pretty sure I'm owed like a half dozen from a million different people. We all just get caught up in the heady buzz of donating to worthy causes, no one ever follows through. LOL FANDOM, YOU ARE SO GOOD AND SO FAILTASTIC AT THE SAME TIME. STORY OF MY LIFE.

Ugh you are just the sweetest and most adorable person. I feel like bittersweet is right on the nose. IDK why but I'm almost positive. Either way. Next time I manage to word vomit up something you can guaran-goddamn-tee there will be Raj in it.

In fact, for my BBBB I'm going to give him a big chunk of plot and marry him off and give him a kid just because I love him so much, too. He is 150% dedicated to your awesomeness.

THIS!!! THIS IS HOW THE NEXT SEASON SHOULD START. This is perfect and wonderful and I can't love it any harder if I tried.

There were so many things in this that made my heart feel good: Leonard's realization of his recent douche-baggery, Raj's apology, Sheldon turning to the internet for answers to social situations. So much love! Also, as much as I enjoy reading Sheldon and Penny together together, I really like their dynamic as friends and enjoy them together as such. But what I love the most about this was how Sheldon didn't judge Penny or treat her any differently because of what happened. Oh Sheldon, ever the gentleman.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!

And the fanmix? ♥ ♥ ♥ I shall download it promptly and listen to it while reading this incredible fic. Again, thank you very much!

OMG this was amazing and in character and guh I loved every minute of it.
If I wasn't already a fan of this trio, I think reading your story would have instantly made one.
BRILLIANT job.

[fujiidom]

Oh, god, thank you! I don't really ship it romantically but I tried to keep it open for people to enjoy both or all three as they see fit. I adore their friendship like nothing else, though. I'm so glad you liked it!

Coming out of lurkdom for this, so Hi! *waves* I just want to say that, this right here? I wish the episode had ended this way and not the classic "cliffhanger" type thing. I love reading dialogue-heavy fics because it's so appropriate for this show and I always feel like an author trusts their audience to imagine a scene with more dialogue rather than place-setting, because sometimes it isn't necessary; you can paint a scene with a conversation just as much as a paragraph of details. Does that make sense? Lol, sorry, it's a little late!

But anyway, everybody was sooo in character and perfect and you got all their voices just right. Loved Sheldon on UrbanDictionary (very typical response, lol), and Raj's "message" to Penny. And Leonard bursting his little head off and telling Priya he wants to move to India is so spot on!. I usually read shippy fics for these two, but this hit all the right notes and left a sweet taste after

[fujiidom]

Hiiiiiii. Thank you so much. I don't even have anything articulate to say because everything you've written here is so incredibly flattering and kind, I'm pretty speechless. I'm so happy you liked it this much and the characterizations felt okay and the jokes weren't stuffy. It's hard writing non-shipping stories! I don't usually do it, so this was a challenge and your comment is so nice I feel like it really paid off. Thank you again, seriously. You're so sweet. ♥
