oh, wow. Thank you so much for writing this--it's the road trip fic I've been dreaming of. No, seriously. I've been dreaming about this road trip.

This is why I love fandom: for any idea I like, but can't write well enough to suit myself, there's someone infinitely more talented than I who will write it, and do a marvelous job, and make me tremendously happy. It's like some colossal mind-reading orgy of yay! (this fic, I should say, is exhibit A in this phenomenon.)
