Once again, PERFECT. That was amazing and as charadesninja said, I too am impressed with how you included the different events into this fic. Thank you for writing you own explanation as to why Lynette really wanted Tom to take this job. The writers on the show could really use and learn from your ideas because you write Lynette/Tom so brilliantly. I love reading your stories about the plot holes/"missing scenes". I really wish we got to see these on screen.

Oh, my God. One of your most touching, heartfelt, and realistic fics ever. I am seriously impressed how you connected all those other events into this. I agree with you! While we all know Lynette is a manipulative person, I was very surprised to see her being so insistent with this job because of the selfish perks. I understand if it's a big raise that could benefit their children and all that jazz, but they focused on the material stuff which was off putting to me, too. I mean, I really enjoyed their storyline. They are always fighting about control/their careers, but this one felt a bit more fresh, if it makes any sense. Anyways, lovely fic. Marc Cherry should definitely get some pointers from you.
