This is one of the best things I've ever read. Its mere perfection made me cry. I'm serious.

Oh my god you are my hero, had me from those first two beautiful lines.

This was flawless. It's honestly so hard to find a fic that does this couple justice. I don't even think the show gets it this right. I'm tired of sifting through the 300 word stories on fanfiction.net to find a decent one, and I consider myself lucky by coming across your tumblr post.

Anyway.

So the tone, humour, characterization matched the show perfectly and everything. Your writing is just gorgeous to boot. I like all the little details you add to bring the characters to life, but it's concise at the same time. Usually in a review I write a list of my favourite lines, but I'd just be copying and pasting the whole thing here.

Sorry I sound so pathetic; I'm just overwhelmed. This was beautiful.

Oh wow, thank you so much! I'm glad you liked this and thought the tone and characterization worked because I was really worried about that. Comments like this mean so much to me. Seriously, thank you.

Because characterization is tricky! Because Jade is tricky! But if you thought it worked that means a lot because you are Jade West. <33333 Love you more.
