So, I can finally dance around and say *I wrote this*! This story was an absolute delight to write, despite the emotional rollercoaster (or possibly because of it, apparently I'm a bit of a masochist). It's my longest ever fiction, first death fic, first first-person narrative, first non-linear timeline, first present tense fic (at the time I wrote most of it, although others have posted in the meantime) so it felt like quite a risk, and I was nervous for posting. The reception has been more than I ever could have hoped for. Fandom people, you are amazing! ♥

I owe so much to [livejournal.com profile] akatnamedeaster. Firstly, for the amazing prompt that spoke to me on a personal level. Secondly, for sharing her love of this unlikely pairing. She has shown me that not only are there possibilities beyond hate sex for them, but also the importance of real, flawed, sometimes arsehole-ish characters getting a chance at happily ever after.

And, of course, I have to mention my little star who is [livejournal.com profile] _melodic_! She has been a fantastic and much-needed sounding board and hand-holder throughout this endeavor. Her pom-pom waving is exemplary and the griping, grumping and groaning she puts up with is truly admirable! Also, she lets me beta gorgeous smut when my brain needs to recover xD

Oh my dear how I love you so!! Your words are so kind, it truly was my pleasure to be awarded your trust and confidence during your writing process and a real treat to get a sneak peak to the story! I'm so glad this fiction got the recognizaion it deserved, I stand by that it is a true masterpiece and I patiently await for your release of the b sides (music reference... I hope it's not an American thing)

An amazing story that you should be really proud of and I'm happy that I had a hand in shaping the way you viewed the characters in it. Truly a fantastic piece of work!
