My oh-so-humble thoughts
Okay so I’ll admit I was skeptical of this one. I had it up in my phone’s browser but I hadn’t started it yet-kept skipping over it. But then I spotlighted spikeyhairgood and she recommended this story (and anything by rbw) so I bit the bullet and started reading.

And immediately hung my head in shame because dude—it’s so good! Why the hell did I skip over this one for so long (well…like a week)?!? This story is just so….real. Like it’s coincidental and probably wouldn’t happen this perfectly in real life…but it’s so easy to ignore that because it feels REAL.

And, despite what some reviews feel is apparently MUCH too long to develop a relationship, I think she handles it perfectly. It makes my poor little shipper heart thud rapidly in my chest and I get sooooooooo frickin excited when I see an email for an update. :) So yeah, go read it…it’s totally worth it. Don’t be a dumbass like me and ignore this one because you WILL regret it!
