The projected publishing date of this story has always New Year’s Eve. 2014. So, I’m exactly one year late. But by God, it’s finally finished!!! There is no way this story would have ever been written without the assistance and support (in all areas of my life, not just writing) of the stupendous @the-omniscient-narrator and @phunkybrewsterspen. Enumerable amounts of help, encouragement and love also came from @jsmapdi and @alittlenutjob. There are at least a few dozen other people who have offered the greatest encouragement I could ever ask for. You know who you are. THANK YOU, EVERYONE!

And, as always, my deepest thanks to jsmapdi for the wonderful cover art. I cannot thank you enough for the time, love, and effort you put into humoring my every whim.

What if the conversation between Danny and Mindy had ended differently? A canon adjacent AU. Beginning with Josh and Mindy’s Christmas Party, and diverging from there.

I never would have believed when I started posting this in late August of 2014 I’d still be working on it. Thank you to everyone who has been patient and stuck with this story, and for all of the support and wonderfully kind words. 

As always, my deepest thanks to jsmapdi for the lovely cover art.

The last bits of Memorial Day Weekend picspam starring helenvanpattersonpatton & myself. Back home in Atlanta already :(

Ahhhh, gorgeous holiday weekend/honeymoon with the-omniscient-narrator. I'm not sure I've ever enjoyed my city as much as I did seeing it with her. 💞

SO….my wife helenvanpattersonpatton is picking me up tomorrow for Memorial Day Weekend getaway! She’s driving all the way over here, meeting my sister and mom and then taking me off to hers. 

The most epic RL tumblr meet-up after a year of intense co-dependency and a horrible time difference while Skyping. 

(This is basically a warning to all as we will both be annoying and cutesy, blogging side by side while in PJs - drinking & eating like queens!)

I can’t sleep I’m so pumped!!! Must make us an epic Spotify playlist for the roadtrip :)

Let’s twirl it the fuck out:

That’s one thing we haven’t done yet! There must be more twirling this weekend!

What am I doing this Memorial Day Weekend, you ask? 

Ohhh, just spending it being all loved-up with the-omniscient-narrator​. So much eating, drinking, storytelling, and snuggling. I mean, look at these faces. That’s not all sun, my friends. That’s literal glowing with happiness.

(Hey, jsmapdi​! Thank you for the cover art. You made my (extremely exacting) demands for a 1930s movie poster a reality with your immense skills!)

1. Why did you choose your url?

My url is the name of an unseen character from the TV show Designing Women. She was a beauty pageant rival of Suzanne Sugerbaker's. Why did I choose it? The reasons are numerous, but the short answer is DW was, and is, a very important show in my life. Also, the reference makes me think of my sister. <3

2. What is your middle name?

My middle name is Ann.

3. If you could own a fairytale/fictional pet, what would it be?

I've been thinking about this for a solid ten minutes. Yeah, I got nothing.

4. Favourite colour?

Green

5. Favourite song?

It Never Entered My Mind by Miles Davis

This is a Broadchurch thing I wrote.

It would appear that the thirst for Broadchurch fanfic is nearly non-existent. However, if the mere thought of Ellie Miller and Alec Hardy getting all angsty together blows up your skirt, you can find a story entitled Sleep Provides that hopefully fulfills all your needs here(AO3) and here(ff.net)

While you're there, if you haven't already, read Stranger Than Friction. by allrightfine. You'll be really happy you did.

'girls don't have to clear their internet history'

let me explain you a thing

of course girls don’t have to clear their internet history girls are smart enough to use an incognito window

I garuntre you 60% of people in general let alone girls don’t know how to use an incognito window

do you. do you garuntre me.

Oh, the-omniscient-narrator, you know me so well. An incognito window and Norton Antivirus are essential. Though I have been known to bookmark sites, so... (No one's checking or giving a shit about browser history anyway.)
