I'm just teasing you. I know that you don't do happy, and I'm fine with that. This is going to sound weird and be hard to explain, but... I'm always kind of comforted by the fact that when I read a story of yours, I walk away loving it despite the fact that it's so frustrating that you won't just let them live happily ever after. It makes me feel like I have good taste in fiction... or something. Like, I'm glad that I can appreciate good writing and a good story even when it's not a barbieshipper ending. It makes me feel like my love of good writing trumps my love of MULDR N SKULLEE 4EVA OMG OTP!!1!, which is something that I would otherwise kind of question. ;)
So in conclusion! You validate me as a fic reader and make me confident that I can recognize and appreciate excellent writing even when it doesn't go My Way. ::bows::
(Also, I know you well enough to know that SOMEday, you will eventually come up with a William backstory. I'll be waiting!)
