This is wonderfully real, and I liked your Alicia a lot.

Thank you so much! I am recruiting for the "worshiping at the feet of these women" club, just so you know. :)

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! It was really important to me to write good women characters for 14v (it was, actually, my theme) and so I love that people are finding the (made up) backstory on these women interesting.

Pete's a confused bad-decision-making guy instead of a manipulative bastard, and Mikey's a guy who's really into Alicia instead of a needy jerk
UGH. *is relieved* I was particularly worried about the Pete characterization because Pete-the-jerk is so overplayed, you know?

This is so interesting! I really liked Alicia's perspective on everything.

Thank you! I love Alicia - I think she's fucking fascinating and I love that people (in my little corner of fandom) are willing to read her and take her seriously.

I love this story and Alicia is awesome.
