*cheers heartily and delightedly* Oh, I've wanted this story for 13 months ad more, and I love how you wrote it.

[kitausu]

Thank you! I'm glad the wait was worth it. I've been wanting to write something like this for the longest time.

[caitri]

OMG I LOVE THIS.

(Yes, all caps were necessary. *is unapologetic*)

[hsavinien]

Oh, very cool.

[merrycontrary]

I absolutely love the dynamic between Winona & Gaila. I want more of them!

[kitausu]

Thank you! And you might get your wish; I've kind of fallen in love with the dynamic between these two, so there might be more fic with them in the future.

Oh! Winona fic with her being brilliant and just shining throughout the entire story - of course Jim inherited her swagger.
Gaila! Fangirl Gaila at that. She is adorable and competent and you can see her strength shine through. I love how they meet and just click.

And yes, the lack of women is laughable when so many of them are so capable and amazing at what they do. So go, Gaila, bully Jim and get everything you deserve for being as brilliant as you are.
Winona Kirk's words are as law.

Seriously, fantastic job with this piece. I loved it.

[kitausu]

Thank you so much!

I always thought that Jim was more like Winona than George, and I wanted to explore that a little in this fic.

I'm really glad Gaila's characterization didn't come out disjointed. I feel like she's gone through a huge spectrum of emotion, but I'm happy it worked for you.

And nobody wants to mess with Winona, especially not Jim.
