"I've gotta say, in some ways that's the saddest section of this fic to me. The whole escape plan just seems like such a painstakingly crafted and deeply romantic gesture, and what kind of reaction does she get to it? It always hurts me to watch--I figure a lot of her snark there is quite defensive."

I agree with this so much. Makes so much sense.

Also, I didn't notice until rereading that my favorite part was named Superstition which was actually the same as the prompt I gave you. Obviously, you rocked that prompt.
