Oh my god, this is going to be perfect. ;_____; I love the little flashbacks to them growing up!

[synecdoche]

Thank you! I love writing backstory, so this was fun :)

[cypanache]

I am so ecstatic someone is writing this!!! And you've done such a lovely job developing all the backstory. I'm really looking forward to how Ben's wish changes things.

Thank you so much.

I'm so glad you're enjoying! You are one of my very favorite writers in the fandom, so it was a little nerve-wracking, knowing this was for you :)
I have some plans for the next part... this has been such a fun prompt because I kept thinking, "how will I incorporate this part of the movie?" and of course the Parks & Rec answer always makes me laugh.

This is intensely delighful. Oh god, I can't wait to see how it turns out! And it's so well written. Please keep writing.

Thank you! It has been fun -- I had a festive Jimmy Stewart party this week with friends (it included It's A Wonderful Life and mulled cider) so it's been fun seeing how all the little details translate to the Parks world. I'm really excited for the second half :)

I love this so much, especially the back story you've created for Ben. Cannot wait to see what life without Ben is like for Leslie and everyone else.

[synecdoche]

Thank you!! I love writing backstory, so that has been a delight. I can't wait to share the next part with you :)
