Heee, this is really sweet! Abed is a little creepy but then that's Abed for you. I love that the Valentine's date is his reason for going forward with the whole scheme - it makes so much sense for the show and for their friendship. And I adore the scene where they kiss, it's perfect ♥ I hope these crazy kids work it out.

Ha, well, creepy!Abed is my favorite Abed, so. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

The kiss came out of nowhere - I wasn't planning on having one, but I'm glad it worked out that way.

Thanks for the lovely comment. :)

I already told you this, but I really, really like this story! I think you especially have Troy and Abed's voices down, and I loved the bit at the very beginning where you go through the phases Annie's already gone through in her life, because I love that kind of character development outline stuff. Abed's reasoning for getting Troy and Annie together was also so inappropriate, but so perfectly ABED that it really worked for me.

And this piece of dialogue is, obviously, perfection:

“Well, the moon had a face, right? That always freaks me out. I can’t even watch Teletubbies.”

“Huh?”

“Like, what if the sun’s watching me? And the sun’s a baby. What if the baby sees me watching Hostel? I could scar it for life.”

“So, wait, the sun from Teletubbies freaks you out, but Hostel doesn’t?”

Troy blinked, like he was the one surprised by her line of reasoning. “Hostel’s obviously fake, Annie. Duh.”

Anyway, loved it!

Yay! I was worried about the voices, because they're so distinctive, so I'm glad that worked for you. And puppetmaster!Abed is the best.

Thanks for the great comment. :)

Ohhhhhh myyyyyyy godddddd!!!! I have been wanting Annie/Troy for the longest time and this is just the greatest!!! I want this to be real so badly! I love your Annie voice, and I love how Abed is kind of omnipresent throughout the whole thing, and your Troy is just perfect, and seriously. This is great. Amazing. Wonderful.

[otempora42]

Annie/Troy is the best! There needs to be so much more of it.

And I loved Abed as the puppetmaster. He really is Phoebe.

I'm glad you liked the voices! They're so distinctive and hard to pin down.

Thanks for the lovely comment!

Oh, yay! You picked my Troy/Annie fic, eeeeeeee!

There is just not enough of this pairing. And loved trying to figure out how you were going to work in Abed's matchmaking in your version.

My favorite parts were Annie spying on Abed's class, the movie date, and the kiss!

I totally support any future forays you make into Community fic! ♥

I'm so glad you liked it! But I definitely agree that there is just not enough Troy/Annie in this world. They are delightful.

Thanks for such a kind comment. :)

afjhdsajf I am in absolutely love with this. Everyone's so in character, particularly Abed, and I really love the progression of the relationship. It's very realistic - liking someone without know them, befriending them and believing you only like them platonically, only to be proven wrong after some time.

This fic is just so amazing, I cannot express fully how much I love it. AHHH.

[otempora42]

Aww, thanks! Writing Abed was a lot of fun.

Thanks for leaving such a sweet comment. Glad you liked the fic.
