Nicely done. All 3 linked fics, were a pleasure to read.

Fantastic!

So much uncerainty and awkwardness and thankfully it (well at least the uncertainty. They're still hella awks sometimes) is quickly put to rest, and so much angst is averted because the TALKED ABOUT IT. Yayyyyy.

Awww. Definitely cinnamon rolls. Marvelous, wonderful, beautiful cinnamon rolls. This is very sweet. Lots of love and uncertainty. You got that part just like the episode. Lots of love and uncertainty, at least until the end, when they are suddenly both certain. I love all of the "I love you" happening in this story. I am curious about what she whispers in his ear. Something naughty? Or is it just the "I love you" that she was afraid to say out loud? Perhaps we will never know. Great job!

Very nice. Lol on the last! Cinnamon rolls :)

"I don't think you could disappoint me if you tried." & "I'd like us to be friends and more."

This is so emotional, romantic and fluffy! I love where you're taking this. I also love this chapter and the fact that you take your time with the characters. I think you showed their struggle without making it too dark. Just perfect!
Looking forward to what's next.

Absolutely lovely and I think a whispered declaration is probably much more realistic than how it went in the show- although I am not complaining! X

I...This was amazing and beautiful and wonderful and heartbreaking and tender and so much else! I do hope you continue writing. This just made my Friday night. Wait...I need to say it again. This was one of the most incredible stories I've read about these two. Thank you SO much!

Ohhh lovely.

Your STORY was luscious. but what did she whisper to him? will you reveal that later?

And this is the line of the week-"all of the seams he stitched in his heart will break open one by one and he'll bleed out everyday from wanting her.." DeeDee, Send that to Fellowes to put in the book version of Downton Abbey-episode 6-1-what was going thru Carson's mind when he thot Mrs. Hughes would break it off.

Oh, that was so, so lovely. I can't express to you how much I loved it. It may not be That Scene, but it's a more-than adequate alternative. It's wonderful.

Beautiful? Wonderful? Feels? I don't know which word to pick to describe this! I loved the writing and how smoothly the scenes flowed into one other. I also love how they keep misreading each other, but always comforting each other. Nicely done! :)

Yes! Wonderful! I love it!

"Crumbling relief joy everything"...it may not have happened exactly like this in canon, but I think you perfectly described Charlie's expression in That Scene in Episode 1, right before he - you know. And now I want to know what she whispered! Pretty please, with a cinnamon roll on top?

I love that the actual scene we did get was so close to this. Straight outta fanfic, JF! (Thank the Lords of Kobol.)

Whispering in his ear! So cute!

I also liked the various states of undress idea...

Very nice. Thanks.
