Awesome job, guys! I think the chapter came together really well. I can't spot the Ackles shout-out, but w00t Freud shout-out! ;)

[herowlness]

Thanks, Erin! I know that I've really appreciated your input and support throughout this whole process. I meant to email you this morning, and then I just got caught up with all the editing and then dinner and ... yeah. But hopefully I'll be able to take a break from studying tonight and get that email finished. [/OT]

Anyhow, I'm glad that you're as pleased with the final product as I/we are. And that Freud shoutout was alllllllll Sarah. :)

Thanks again for all you did! <3

[sarah_p]

Wheeee! Thanks, Musey, for all of your fabulousness. It was much appreciated :).

And, see, I guess there's the inherent difference in Lizzy and my writing. She's all about the Jensen shoutouts, I'm all about the Freud. Heh.

LOVE! :)

[herowlness]

Notice how that makes you sound so much more educated than I ...

=goes to the corner to sulk=

=gets distracted=

Oooooh, pretty Jensen!

[crazybohemian18]

I can't find the shout-out! *hangs head in shame* Also, now it's driving me crazy. WHAT IS IT????

Great chapter, you guys! Can always use some Madison Sinclair snarkage. And thank you for linking to the picspam. That's a good picspam. Oh, whoops, little bit of drool there.

[herowlness]

Honestly, I was trying to find a way to work Jensen *himself* into the chapter somehow, but that didn't happen. And I promise I'll spill the shoutout ... eventually, but I want to see if anyone else will pick up on it first, you know? :)

I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed the chapter and the picspam. Evan is easily our favorite athlete/Olympian, and given the MOTW, it just seemed ... right to model the OC after him.

Thanks so much for the feedback! :)

[sarah_p]

Hee, we'll reveal the Jensen shoutout soon. It IS subtle, though (cause it's about Jensen without MENTIONING Jensen), so no worries for not getting it. JENSEN STILL KNOWS YOU CARE :).

I'm so, so glad that the Madison snarkage came off well, cause, dude, she's not easy to write. And wheeee for pretty boys on ice! And Jensen. And Logan. I'm not picky, you know? ;)

[goldenmelisande]

Great job, as usual! I really want to know what happened to the little girls, and Wallace and Logan crack me up.

[herowlness]

Thanks! It took a lot of time to work out a viable arc for Keith for this chapter (with the girls and such), so it's great to hear that you liked how it turned out. And I can't wait to read more about what happened to them myself. :)

And as for Wallace and Logan, I *love* it when they team up together. Yeah, their reasons for being at the rink were a bit flimsy, I think that Logan would be a bit jealous and worried - even though he was the one to do the breaking up!

Thanks so much for the feedback. I'm glad that you enjoyed it! :)

[sarah_p]

Oooh, I know, I can't wait to read the next chapters and see how everything unfolds, even though I know what's going to HAPPEN. And, hee, Logan and Wallace are such lovable dorks, and I'm glad that you appreciate them for that ;).

Thaaaank you for reading and taking the time to comment! Wheee! :)

[douladiva]

Nice job. The part that had me laughing out loud was undercover Logan and Wallace. Very cute.

[herowlness]

Logan is, by nature, conspicuous, and Wallace was more along for the ride, wanting to see V's reaction when she found out that they were there, spying on her. It was a hell of a lot of fun to write, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for the feedback! :)

[sarah_p]

Yaaay, I'm so glad that people are enjoying the Logan and Wallace interaction, instead of thinking it's too out of place/random/whatever. We tried to put some fluff in the story, despite the main mysteries, because everyone needs some happy sometimes!

Thank you for reading and being so awesome! :)

Hey you guys - I really enjoyed this. You pulled it together amazing well, and I'm delighted. I loved Veronica's snark to Madison when they meet at the rink - call me weird, but it was one of my favorite parts. Logan and Wallace and the whole Ninja Turtles thing was too funny - and Wallace finally getting some action - Yay! I expected a lot of humor from you two, and I wasn't disappointed. I thought this was hysterical: He had his hand on her shoulder, and was leaning towards her. Fucking leaning. Great stuff, especially under the circumstances. Oh, btw: I have no clue about the Jensen Ackles shout out, but that's because I'm frequently clueless.

[herowlness]

Aww, thanks, Rindy! I really wanted to give Wallace at least a semi-serious love interest, even if she doesn't really get referenced anywhere else in the fic. While I know that he was hurt by Jackie's lies and stuff, I really think that he *enjoys* being in a relationship and having someone to care about. I mean, I think that he had fun being BMOC in the earlier Hearst chapter, but from what I've seen in canon, Wallace always seems to like to have *one* girl, rather than, like, five. (the whole Jane-Jackie mess nonwithstanding - that was him just being male and stupid

[rindee]

Do I know the movie? OMG - one of my absolute favs. While You Were Sleeping Just one of the best movies ever. Bill Pullman explaining to Sandra Bullock that whatshisname was leaning into her. And she didn't believe him. About the leaning, I mean.

JOE JR. HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
