It makes me feel better to hear that. I was reading it and thinking "Dude, girl-person, did you totally miss my paragraph where she abused his trust as the means to an end? Did ff.net delete that paragraph or something?!"


Maybe she was responding to the whole "we're fated to be together" thing--as well as the fact that they kiss at the end? She could be selectively reading.

Maybe. The ficlet does have a significant sap & sentimentality quotient. Maybe she meant sappy and not fluffy? Because to me fluff is very distinctly absent of angst. Fluff is almost always sappy but sentimentalism or sappyness is certainly not always fluffy. When I think of fluff I think funny, cute, adorable, makes you want to smell the roses or hug a puppy or something.
