I think I came across your Tumblr independent of your fics. Almost positive, cause I have a very clear memory of scrolling along and then frantically scrolling back up cause Tumblr had done one of those “in your orbit” things and it was one of your posts and I mentally was all: hold the phone isn’t that the person who writes No Righteous Path, the fic I’m currently reading one tab over? slams follow button

I LOVE this sort of kismet! I don’t really publicize myself on Ao3 with a link back here too often. Several people have said they searched my username from Ao3 here hoping it was the same and following me. I adore that! Talking to people on both platforms and seeing them around, like you, means we’re pals! 😀

I think I started following you awhile back because so many other blogs that I follow kept on re-blogging your stuff. Since you appeared so often in my feed, I made the decision to follow you. And then I fell in love with Protect and Serve – it’s definitely one of my favorites now.

I’m so glad you followed me! You always leave such lovely and supportive comments! I’m happy to flood your dash! 😀

I started following you when you kept popping up on my dash through ltlflrt. And I know at one point I went on a massive reading binge on your AO3. It might actually have been while you were writing Unexpected Duet.

Oh, God. You fell in love with me and ltleflrt yelling our love at each other? That’s both embarrassing and lovely! I adore seeing you on my dash, too!

It made it easier to keep in contact with you, for one.

That’s 100% real talk. I will never check my phone. But Tumblr is eternal.

I can’t remember exactly when I started following you, but I know it was around the time I read No Righteous Path. I loved the story so much, I knew I’d love the writer even more!

AND YOU ARE AWESOME!!!! I don’t actually follow many people, but I scrolled your blog for a while and totally loved it. You’re just so kind and great!

Its been so long, I’ve honestly forgotten what originally brought us together as mutuals. But I am very happy to count you as a friend.

I totally don’t remember! Hahahaha! I do remember that you were one of the first people I followed, and it’s been a lovely, remarkable friendship!

I can’t remember which one of us followed who first, to be honest, but definitely it was because I thought you were an awesome writer, and I wanted to bask in your talent :)

I TOTALLY REMEMBER THIS!!!! I followed you first. At the time, I was only following like, 10 people on Tumblr and I followed you and sent you an ask gushing about your fics. And you went all “SAME HAT!!!!” And that was the beginning of the end.

I loved your blog (still do) and really love your writing! that’s why. :)

THANK YOU! And hard same back at you!

slides closer I miss Kaidan and Ianto. Any chance you have a snippet of Normandy you could share?

Oh, sure, why not? 😀 I really am still working on researching this, I swear.

There’s scraping on the other end of the line and Anderson’s voice fills the receiver next. “Good news?”

“Yes, sir,” Shepard confirms. “Plenty of stuff way above my paygrade.”

“You and Alenko get up here. Give me a full report.”

Shepard eyes Kaidan again, still scribbling furiously. “You’d better come down instead, Anderson. Kaidan’s got a hot line.”

The phone clicks and goes dead. Anderson is on his way.

He appears with Bailey minutes later, and without preamble says, “what do you have?”

“Think we go ‘em, sir,” Shepard answers, handing over their notes. Kaidan is still listening to line, confirming the repeat of the broadcast he’d overheard. “These are the rest of the codes we’ve been trying to break for months. If we’ve done it, and I think we have, then we’re right about Midway. The Japanese are coordinating an attack out there, as we thought before. I think what we have here are the ship movements and positions for the assault.”

“Big news,” Bailey says, accepting the papers from Anderson to flip through. “Hackett needs to see this. We’ve got plenty of vessels out there.”

At long last, Kaidan removes his earphones and passes along his notes for Shepard to confirm. “Apparently they think that the Enterprise and Hornet are the only two carriers we got out there.”

“I do enjoy upsetting their expectations,” Anderson says. “You did good, boys. I’ll take it from here.”

They leave and Shepard and Kaidan are alone again. Kaidan begins to shake.

Hey JJ. I want to say that I’m catching up on SPN this season, and I am supremely upset about Mick dying. By some bitch ass Ketch no less! How did you deal with it? ]:

Well, lemme tell you something. I have a treatment plan for when SPN does things like this. The first thing I did was scream obscenities at my television for a few minutes. Then I went to the kitchen and opened the fridge. Grabbed me a Modelo Negro, and drank that. Then I sat on the couch pouting and ignored the fact that Mick and his impressive facial hair were gone. Thanks for asking!
