Good to know about the calling! Maybe next election...

I literally gasped when I watched the "Smile" thing the first time. It was just so amazing. And ha, that's another example of the kind of hopeful ending I like: it's hard-earned and it's not like everything is fixed, but it's not "welp everything is terrible forever." But agreed--you gotta earn it. I'm actually really pleased you think I do that well--it's a huge goal of mine. Also why I tend to write toward somewhat canon-divergent "not everyone dies" postwar stuff, because fuck, if all those OCs go through hell and then DIE it's just fucking depressing. So. NOPE. (lord, there's a bunch of actually-plotty stuff to get there that I really want to write sometime when I'm not braindead by the time I get home from work...)

(speaking of work...back to that now)
