You were friend #3, you know. If you could you'd gift everyone a paid account with ribbons and bows and chocolate and sex and all manner of good things, because that's how big your heart is.

I'm stunned, I'm really stunned and I won't say who my benefactor is but it's someone who is super-duper special.

I still think it's wonderful and that's in large part due to new and splendiferous people like you finding and joining it.

And wonderful people like you who are the wise elders of fandom to welcome us newbies in and give us a home. (A decade and a half? And still writing constantly, still inspired by Willow and Angel? that is truly remarkable to me.)

Rec'ing your story was a pleasure, it's beautiful. I had no idea what I was in for, Truly special, as are you, my dear. I keep saying I don't know how I got so lucky to earn your friendship. I need to not overthink it. I know that when I have such special friends it must mean I'm an ok person.
