Three Kings and an Epiphany (Chapter 4)

[subsidingchaos]

Not sure I stated this before, but I do not own the characters I am using - I am just borrowing them for a bit. Thank you to the many friends and commenters, you guys are a special kind of awesome. Special thanks to Allison, who decided on Sam's birthdate, and Shay, who helped with the birthstones and their meaning. Oh, and, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BIRDIE

I hate you. So big.

sigh. HAPPY sigh.

OKAY--I am NOT understanding the hate?!?!?! Am I the only one seeing the HOPE laced through all of this? It's right there, it's RIGHT behind the curtain. A curtain which is just about to rise and then there will be all kinds of rounds of applause, standing ovations, roses being thrown, littering the stage floor because HE LOVES HER AND HE CAN'T KEEP HOLDING IT IN AND DENYING IT. It WILL come out, he'll burst if he doesn't let it out. She is everywhere--he now REALLY cannot sleep w/o thinking of her, he can't look at that damn schedule w/o thinking of her. Probably can't look at that streetlamp outside his house the same again, either. Always her halo it will be

I think Andy may have to stand in line to punch him

How the hell did I get weepy at this line "Nothing to do with luck; you reap what you sow." I don't know, maybe I just liked someone pointing out to Sam that he was a good guy. Silliness

I loved Andy's little diatribe about making her own decisions. Nice little kick in the pants that. And then her little slip of the tongue (insert Swarek and Becca smirks here). Classic McNally.

Of course she was on the schedule...she was all over it. Nice!

So many lovely touches - her knowing his birthday, Jerry calling Sam out. But the best - They bring out each other's shine! HELLO!

And there's room for more birthstones... just tell her DAMMIT!

uffdah

That hit me right in the feels. RIGHT IN THE FEELS.
Especially that part about room for the extra birthstones when the time comes, and her eyes filling with new tears, and how he wishes that she just punched him in the wound.
Please end our misery soon! And by end it, I mean draw it out for as long as freaking possible because our wait for season five just went from two months to four months, and we have to fill the void somehow! And I thank you profusely for doing so in such a wonderfully, heart wrenching manner. AAAAAHHHHH. (Also, I second all of Marys' GIFs. They are too perfect.)

Sam and his man-pain, but at least he's pondering things and imagining Andy's smile in the process. He misses that smile
