grjsklhglwrehg oh man, I absolutely adore this. I haven't read fic in this style in a long, long time, but you really made it work! I felt so silly after my prompt because it felt too specific, so many thanks for stepping up to that plate and going with it all anyway! This is so lovely, jeez. The tension in the first bit was so great, and I love the party at the end. That felt really true to the show, and it made me happy (and sad) to see her and Ann. Aww. This fic has LOTS OF THINGS I LOVE, thank you so much <3

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. It was a fun prompt to work with. You are very welcome.

I am sitting here pretty teary-eyed now. The last section of this fic was so lovely and heartwarming and heartbreaking all at once. I loved it.

I now also want nothing more in the world than a table of desserts from around the world. You came up with the best presents for Ben to give Leslie in this story.

[jncar]

Aww, thanks. I really want the dessert buffet, too. Someone needs to start a restaurant that does that.

Oh, this came out great! I have literally no idea how Ben would ever top that last birthday party. But despite that, and the dessert buffet, the balloon montage was my favorite part. Thanks for participating in the exchange!

[jncar]

Thanks. I do love the idea of seeing Leslie attack a whole room full of balloons - glad you liked that bit.

This is so great! You really pulled off the script style - it was very easy to picture everything happening just as you described it. The last one, especially, was really great, and I hope we get some Leslie/Ann scenes of that quality ASAP (we may have already, I'm still at work so haven't seen the newest episode).

By the way, I was cheering for pavlova as soon as the desserts of the world buffet was mentioned, so I'm happy we were represented!

[jncar]

Thanks! And pavlova is way too delicious to leave off of a "desserts of the world" table. It must be included!

Really great mix of sweet and funny--like a Parks episode! And now I desperately want a desserts of the world buffet, only slightly more than I want to see Ben petting a baby goat.

Thanks so much! Capturing the spirit of an episode is a high compliment. And I really want to see Ben go goofy over some small animal like the rest of them did over L'il Sebastian. It has to happen!
