So glad those crazy kids worked things out. For half this chapter I kept thinking, be fair Leslie! Ben doesn't want to hurt Pawnee! And then I'd think, be fair Ben! Leslie really loves Pawnee!

All of the warm fuzzies! ALL OF THEM.

(And not just because I'm wearing a bathrobe and sitting on a heating pad.)

Holiday fics have to have warm fuzzies--it should be a law. Glad I could deliver for you. :) Thanks for reading and commenting.

What a wonderful story, beginning to end. It really just made my heart sing. ♥

I remember reading the first chapter on the night it was posted and thinking that it was simply magical. Just perfect for Christmas, and a really sweet depiction of soulmates meeting by chance. Loved it. (And I'm sorry I didn't comment on it then...I have a habit of reading the entire story and commenting on the whole.)

But finishing it up tonight, I was really struck by how well-written it was. I loved the storyline, but what I enjoyed most was how you wove canon and AU together so seamlessly; the use of verbatim dialogue from the show, not necessarily aligned with canon, but always perfectly-placed, was a fantastic touch.

Can you tell I loved this? Because I loved this. Great job!

This was just so lovely! I really liked how you realistically integrated canon into this story, too. So glad it all worked out in the end!
