Echoing the love for this. Chris can be tricky sometimes in Parks fic, especially during Season 3 stories, but I love how you've written him.

Thanks! Chris can be so easy to go over-the-top with, so I'm really glad this seems to work.

All of this...it's all so wonderful. Chris recognizing that Ben has a crush is something that IMO the show should have explored. It makes perfect sense seeing that they have worked closely together for so long. I think it would have endeared the audience to Chris if they had done so.

Also, I can't wait to see what happened last night!

Thanks! I really think that Chris had intentional blinders on during that time period, maybe even just out of some misplaced faith in Ben's ability to stick to the rules.

Or maybe I just want to hope that he's not that obtuse.

YESSSSSS.

I must know everything but first I love this idea that hey were constantly texting. I say OF COURSE THEY WERE DUH now but man I had never really thought about it. As usual, this is wonderful and your Chris is so fun. I really do think he has a huge heart and means well, even if grumpy!Ben disagrees.
