Oh gosh, it's time to start over again already!

May it be a good year! And what a way to start.

(Miss you around here; sending good thoughts. Also… in a Chanukah miracle, I have started watching The Pitt, so Lirazel fic, here I come.)

Thank you so, so much! I'm sending you good thoughts too! I'm feeling close to ready to come back, so I'll talk with you soon, I know!

Oh my gosh, I have two equal and opposing thoughts re: you watching my show: absolute delight that you picked this show to be one of the very, very few that you watch, because it is so well done, it really is AND omg no don't read my fic the way I crashed out over this ship is so embarrassing!!!

(I mean, you can read it if you want to, of course! Just saying that I do not expect you to even ship my ship, much less want to read my very iddy and self-indulgent fic about them!)

Yay, I’ll look forward to it <3

It was really good! I got super sick around the new year and couldn’t read (tragic!), so I watched Heated Rivalry and then The Pitt and enjoyed them in equal but quite different measure. I hadn’t had that new fandom rush in ages, especially for Heated Rivalry. That’s a rare and precious thing, so I don’t think you should be embarrassed!

I think I would really enjoy some Robby/Collins, in addition. I’m a multi shipper for real, though, so it’s all good!

I'm so sorry to hear you were sick! So sick that you couldn't read???? That should never happen! I hope you're feeling a lot better!

I am definitely working a lot of my Issues in my fic--I've never projected so much onto a character in my life as I have onto Mel King. So if it's not to your taste, I 1000000% understand!

I am really, really missing Collins this season! Their dynamic was so interesting!
