*grins* Yaaaay! So glad you liked it! *squee*

And you say such nice, insightful things about it, too!

Still, the fic ends on a hopeful note: McKay doesn't send Ford away. He's willing to share a bed. I love that it ends in an open-ended way.

Yes, exactly! gvambat and I were talking about this fic and we were like, "but it's way more cheerful than most of my fics! I mean, look at the ending! It's not sad!"

So yeah, I totally agree with most of what you said and I'm glad I managed to convey it. :)

You're so welcome.
