I'm glad you liked the Sheppard and Team bits. John turned into such a mother hen on me! (hee)

I'm a sucker for parity relationships. And while "they kiss, the end" stories are fine, I end up wanting to know more ... and end up with almost 24k words, heh.

I didn't mean to earworm myself with the Spice Girls when trying to respond to your last note, but now I've got "If you wanna be my lover/you gotta get with my friends" in my head. I'm ... not exactly sure that's what they meant, but hey, share the earworm love! But yeah -- couples don't just happen isolation anyway, but this community particularly is family, and they'd matter, I think.

Detailed feedback is delightful, so thank you ever so much! ::thinks internet cookies in your direction::
