I hope you don't a mind a years-late comment, but I came here via rec, and I just love this. This is the kind of scene we never got in canon, and we really should have, and you did it so, so perfectly.

"There are a lot of people I can only hope know how I feel about them, because I have no clue how to tell them.”

“Have you tried...telling them?”

In a sea of favourite exchanges, I think I like that one best, because it says so much about the two of them.

I loved their conversation about Jason, too. (I, er, may have teared up a little.) It's so true, and something it really would have helped her to hear.

So, well, thank you!
