It was really no less than I deserved for trying to grab a frying pan from a 400 degree oven with a wet tea towel for an oven mitt. Anyway, now that I can type again, I'm going to go gushing fanboy on you. Because really, this was so much better than I ever had any right to expect it to be. I wasn't even sure why I picked Tibby/Lena, it's not a pairing that I've ever thought of before, but it seemed to fit the prompt and you made it a joy to read and now I think it might be my traveling pants OTP to the extent that there's a half-finished Tibby/Carmen fic that will likely never see the light of day now because really, Lena! I can't even pick a favourite line because I liked the whole thing too much. Probably though, if you made me, I'd say it was Tibby knew about love. She didn’t understand it, necessarily, and maybe that was why she wanted to do a documentary on the subject, to parse it down to its skeletal frame, to strip away the flesh until she could see meaning, but she knew about love. I just loved that, it's such an accurate take on how Tibby deals with the world. Seriously, thank you so much.
