Thank you very much. ♥ I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading and leaving the lovely comment.

♥ I'm very glad you liked it. I was worried, since I thought this might not have been what you had in mind when you gave me that prompt, but I couldn't get this idea out of my head once it got there. So I'm quite happy that you enjoyed it. I hope you have a lovely holiday, hon. ♥

[shutterbug_12]

Aw, yay! And to you! ♥

This is the best answer to what's in the book that I've read yet.

[shutterbug_12]

Aw, that is an awesome thing to say. Really. I'm thrilled with the fact that you think it's not only believable and, I assume, in character for Josh to write that, but an exception version that's been put out there so far. Thanks so much. And thanks for reading and leaving the lovely comment. Much appreciated. ♥

[magisterequitum]

Yes!

This was fabulous to read the first time and now with all the changes it's just even better. It speaks so well for Donna at this point of the series and her life.

[shutterbug_12]

Thank you! I do appreciate that. You were such a fantastic beta. Really. It's been a while since I've had such a great one, and with your critiques and the way you let me talk through the fixes, it was just wonderful. I mean it. I'm just bummed that when I finish the draft of your holiday fic present, you won't be able to be the beta. Or, well, you can. But I'd hate to ruin the surprise. ;)

But, anyway, thank you again. You helped make this into something I'm very pleased with. ♥

[magisterequitum]

Aww. Yay. Glad to be putting my CW minor to use then. ;)

I'm glad that what I gave you helped. Though, really, it was already something fantastic without my help. :)

This is lovely. Very well-written. This storyline (the multiple sclerosis reveal) is my absolute favorite part of the show, I think, and this fits in with the - I don't know, spirit, of those episodes.

[shutterbug_12]

Thank you very much! It's a great storyline; I agree. Lots of intricacies that affect everyone and lead to sub-plots and new plots. Great stuff. Ripe for fic opportunities, too. I'm really happy you liked how this fit into the story already in place in the show. That's a big goal of mine when I write fillers for episodes, or missing scenes, etc. So thank you again--for reading and leaving the comment. I appreciate it. ♥
