Oh, so lovely! This fic rings very true as a post-S3 fixit. Of course Myka would be so scared to finally have to confront what she feels for Helena that she would make the situation far, far more complicated than it needs to be. That's the genius of the Myka character, one you nailed beautifully here--that sense of always making it hard on herself, never doing things the easy way, always closing herself off to her own emotions (especially after Sam). Something about Myka as a person who refuses to just let herself be happy feels very right.

Also, your Helena and Pete are wonderful. I like how your Helena is both quietly assertive yet tenderly understanding of the fact that Myka needs to do this in her own time, at her own pace. And she even keeps her sense of humor and can laugh about it! Her deadpan “We can not have sex whenever you'd like,” she answers calmly. made me actually snort. And Pete is totally Myka's big brother, and it's just awesome.

Also, this:
“- Pete I need you to keep me company tonight so I don't do what I've done

Thank you so much for the wonderful comment! I'm thrilled that you liked it so much.

I'm really glad you felt like this is was true of Myka, because when I first started it was much more silly and fluffy and then it sort of changed on me and became a little deeper about Myka's feelings so I'm just glad it felt true to her character.

I'm so glad you like my Pete and Helena! I had so much fun writing them and I love them both as characters so I tried to do them justice.

And lol that booty call line. I'm not gonna lie, I wrote it and then spent like ten minutes giggling to myself. I'm glad it made you laugh too!

After the Helena/Pete interactions in Emily Lake/Stand I just want to see them in scenes together forever and ever. They are just so funny together!

Seriously, thank you for this comment, it absolutely makes my day getting to hear what people liked about my fic! <3

(And Myka doesn't close her eyes.

This is love, she thinks.)

Love indeed. Beautiful fic.
