AHHHHH YOU WROTE HELEN/WILL. :D:D:D

LET US PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A GEN FIC, NOT A SHIP FIC.

okay i wrote helen/will

[missparker]

splitting haaaaaairs and it was only gen because they didn't make out BUT I COULD TELL HE WANTED TO OH BOY OH BOY.

[tendre_posion]

they totally made out after she finished her tea.

Uh, weren't you saying something about not being able to write? This is gorgeous. ♥

[tendre_posion]

this was one of those half-finished things on my harddrive. I got told I should try and finish at least one.

Alright, so, first: Y U NO WRITE ALWAYS? Because this is very lovely.

Second, you've written my favourite thing in Sanctuary fic and that is introspective Will & Helen. I love him thinking about her and how you've got him very aware of the imbalance in their relationship.

♥♥♥

missparker wants me to write the scene that comes after this where they make out (how did I ever get to the point in my life where I am writing Will/Helen? Maybe because I want Will to not be a huge herpderp)

I just love that there is so much about her that he will never know (and he accepts that, even though he's always gonna be a nosey little motherfucker and try and find out as much as he can), so how can he not sit there and wonder about those things?

[ahkna]

That's why I love them together so much. I actually like Helen/Will the best out of all the Sanctuary pairings because I love the inequality of their relationship. And not inequality in a bad way, just in a way that Will wants to understand her but there's just so much to Magnus that he never seems to finish peeling away layers. Although my favourite fic kink is where they DON'T do it but there's this tension between them that stretches out as they try to figure each other out.

It's literally the only time I'm not giggling at Will's attempts to be a person.

I think you just reminded me why I shipped them way back in the beginning.
Lovely.

And the last line cracked me up. I know it's not funny lol, but it's what I say.
