community fic! part two

Her most pressing problem right now is that there’s nowhere to go.  Nothing is open at half past seven on a Saturday; the only people awake are those who go for early morning runs and walk their dogs.  She could go to Starbucks but she doesn’t want to pay three bucks for tea just because she isn’t supposed to have coffee, and the thought of

Great fic, with a lotta great lines and wonderful Britta POV. Usually I don't do baby fics, but by the time I figured out this was one, I was already invested in the story, so I continued. Glad I did! I loved the evolution of Britta/Jeff, and how you showed their relationship because it's true to form with what we've seen on the show.

Also, some great lines! I loved the one about Shirley doing unlawful things to Prof's car, and how everyone knew it was Jeff's baby. But the best line is actually the last line of the fic.

Bravo!

Thank you! And I'm all like phew, good the Britta POV is good because she is legit my favorite character and I want to get her right!

Shirley messing up people's cars is, like, cemented in my head. She's more than just a secret badass.

Thanks again! :)

Oh man, I don't know where to start that doesn't make me sound like a crazy person! I'm not usually into kidfic at all because I'm at the age and state in my relationship where people are like, "WHEN ARE YOU HAVING A BABY?!" and fandom is my safe space, but once I realized what was happening here, I was like, "-- I think I can be OK with this!" AND I WAS!

And I'm so glad I read it all because it was adorable and believable and I really enjoyed it! Everything was happy and nice and just the appropriate amount of snarky. I'm not even sure why, but one of my favorite parts was Annie talking to Britta's Anarchist friends and being a little too into it. I laughed!

I enjoyed this! Thank you for writing it! \o/

[tashlae]

Thank you! And seriously thank you for saying nice things about my fic because that makes me be all fuzzy inside.

Also after I wrote the Annie and the anarchist thing I was like wait omg I have to write something where Annie becomes this like hardcore Marxist anarchist whatever even if only for a day because then Troy could call her Little Annie Anarchist! idek but it was a lovely thought.

:D

As Abed would say, this is where we stop for the happy ending
AMAZING, j/b are epic and this too, i love everything and I think this is my new favourite fic :)

[tashlae]

aww, thank you so much!

THIS IS SO GREAT OMG. Jeff and Britta have a baby! I know that's what I asked for, but I was so engrossed in the beginning and in how they got together that I kind of forgot about it. And then Britta threw up and I got all- baby??? BABY! :D So, good job being sneaky haha!

I love everything this chooses to be <3 It's sweet but snarky too because it's so them. I love that Jeff is not too freaked out and even rather happy (this: for a split-second there's this blinding grin on his face, a blink and you miss it kind of thing, but she knows it was there and something inside her chest warms at little because of that look. is really sweet). I love how you write their relationship so much! How they get together because Annie and Shirley are busier (I love how you write the girls being BFFs too, thanks so much for that) and they're both kind of lonely, it really works

My comment, part II (uh, yeah)

- And your BOYS! Abed and Annie dating! (“You weren’t invited,” he answers. “Cause this was kind of a date thing, and I thought it would be uncomfortable if you had to watch us make out instead of watching the movie.” - haha I love how he says it.) I loved Abed at the wedding so much! “It’s just like- actually, I can’t think of a good pop culture reference to make because I’m extremely excited, but I’m sure that you’re following in the footsteps of many esteemed fictional characters.” - it's just really sweet. And funny at the same time!

AND TROY. I left Troy for the end because he's the BEST. I think he's probably my favorite here! You know, out of a list where they're all my favorites. Just:
Troy nods to himself. "Yo," he says, and then shakes his head. "Wait, that sounded not at all like I wanted it to. Okay. Look, are you like.. pregnant or something? Because if you are I'm going to feel way more uncomfortable with thinking you're hot."
I SHIP TROY/BRITTA KIND OF A LOT so this was really awesome.

And also:
what the hell

Haha yes this is me: I write SNEAK ATTACK BABYFIC! But no seriously, I do not know what to say because you left, like, the best feedback ever and I may have reread it a few times. Or a lot. And been like this: :D :D :D. Like, BEST FEEDBACK EVER.

But I'm SO GLAD you liked it, especially Troy, who is probably the best person to write ever and the show callbacks, which come mostly from watching half the episodes right when I got the DVD, and the Modern Warfare commentary where the paintball stuff came from (I swear the MW writer is a total J/B shipper) and I don't know. I am still like all :D and it was a pleasure to write.

(and the chin-up bar thing? that totally happened to my cousin, and I felt really bad for cracking up both at him and when they showed Jeff's nakedish exercising on the show but seriously, IT CAN HAPPEN. The writers should be made aware there can be HIJINKS.)

Ahh, so I had to wait to read this until I got home from work, and I just did, and I am grinning a lot right now? It was just so comforting and real, and even though I am usually not on board with babies, I could actually kind of see this happen? I mean, it's Jeff and Britta. They've talked about whether or not they want kids! (Well, kind of.)

But really, this was great, they were so themselves and I really really liked this.

[tashlae]

Thank you so much! :D And omg yes the scene where they talk about kids. That is heart-melt-inducing right there. (and then the macaroni scene comes, which I totally love.)
