Thank you so much!

I have a stupid amount of love for Mikey/Alicia, and I adore how you built this through Alicia, and gave us more of a feeling of her. Almost all the fics with the girls in it are through the boys' PoV, so this is refreshing and AWESOME.

And you have found the secret unifying theme for all of my 14valentines stuff! Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I really like this fic - and I love how it's Alicia's POV on the whole thing. Really nicely set up. The whole thing's wonderfully believable, especially the Pete/Alicia and Pete/Jeanae parts.

Thank you! I'm glad that the kind of ... reflection relationship dynamic worked!

the minute she becomes a Girlfriend or associated with the Girlfriends, she'll lose everything.

Ugh, so sad and true. It's so awesome to see Alicia as a tech, and I really like the way you wrote her relationship with Pete and with Mikey.

You have found my secret-favorite line! Because, then, Alicia BECAME a Girlfriend and I can't imagine that didn't change the way people looked at her.

Thank you so much!

Thank you thank you! I'm happy that people caught that undercurrent - I was a little worried that this would read as "Alicia finding her way to Mikey" when I really wanted it to be "Alicia finding her way and Mikey is there."

And I just realized that I accidentally made a terrible, terrible "way" pun there. Oh well.
