"Does everyone know about this?" Ben says, finally giving up on his tie. "Seriously, does everyone know?" Leslie decides to run for office, antics ensue.

Note: Sorry about the delay; I was a bridesmaid for the craziest (but most beautiful) wedding -- but here is

Oooh, I LOVED this! I was a bit scared that either Ben or Leslie would have second thoughts about staying together once they realised that everyone knew, so the ending was great!
I also really like how Chris can't help being drawn to Ann, it makes him a lot more human and likeable. I'd love to see this on the show.

Looking forward to the next part!

Thank you so much! I'm definitely happy that Leslie and Ben are together again -- they are so fun to write -- and I'm having a good time writing Chris and Ann, so I'm really glad you're enjoying ♥

A lot happens in the next part (hence the delay... sorry!) but it should be up either late today or tomorrow.

I'm not a big Chris/Ann fan, but I really like how you're handling it here.

And pretty much everyone except Chris knowing about Ben and Leslie is super-cute. Still a fun fic, and I look forward to more. :)

Thanks so much! It's definitely been interesting writing for Chris and Ann; I feel like of any of the couples in the story they sort of have the most to go through... I'm really glad you're enjoying ♥

This is just too cute. I really love the everyone-except-Chris-but-sorta-Chris-too knows, and Ann and Chris are too wonderful, and I love icing.

Thanks so much! I had a lot of fun writing this chapter -- I'm so glad you enjoyed ♥

I saw you posted another installment before I headed out the door to work and knew I had to save it to recover from the workday. Not a bad day, just long and full of work. Well, it certainly didn't disappointed. I love that Ben is just as bad at lying as Leslie is. I don't even mind spending so much time with Chris because Ann is being awesome with the New Ann Perkins. Strength, confidence, a woman whose biography Leslie would gladly read. I love that line.
Everyone loves Leslie so much that when they see her happy with Ben they support it so fervently. I love that Leslie has the band of lovable misfits in her corner. You write them so well!

Thanks so much! This fic has been such a blast to write; all of these characters are really fun and I'm so glad you're enjoying. The part where Ben and Leslie get caught was especially good times; I'm really glad you enjoyed. ♥

i haven't finished reading this chapter yet, but DUDE IS THAT A BELLE & SEBASTIAN REFERENCE? like, the most obscure belle & sebastian reference possible? I LOVE THIS FIC

edit: okay, now finished! "I know I need to figure out how to be the world's sneakiest woman, Tom, but did you know they don't offer classes to teach you how to do it? I checked." this is SO LESLIE, to check if the parks department offers CLASSES ON SNEAKINESS ♥

But seriously, where does he track down this neverending stream of random, weirdly positive facts. this is the cutest thing. GOOD QUESTION, ANN. i just love ann SO MUCH in this chapter - i've really enjoyed the way you've developed her character, but she is just awesome here.

[synecdoche]

Yeah, Leslie's "explanation" is definitely a Belle & Sebastian reference -- congrats on catching it! You are a rockstar ♥
I'm so glad you're enjoying! This part was a blast to write, these crazy characters are just too fun :) Thank you so much for reading!
