#(and yes that is the screenshot of our first un-anon interaction)

so over ten years ago, when I was nineteen, @pyrrhiccomedy​​ and I met on LJ. she commented on a fic I posted de-anoning from the hetalia kink meme. we discovered that we’d loved one another’s work, anonymously, and began independently scheming to make the other our best friend. this scheming of course led to our work on the chosen end, a popular, long-running fic series. 

collaborating did indeed foster best friendship; she’s brilliant, hilarious, and challenging, and I deeply admired her integrity and strength of character. we were attached at the hip - though across the pacific ocean - for years, through some of the most difficult and tumultuous periods of my life. she was my creative partner, the scully to my mulder, the other half of our duo.

then, four years ago, she moved halfway around the world to be in new york city with me. we started dating the moment I threw my arms around her (four hours late!) in JFK. 

and now, as of this past sunday morning, she’s going to be my wife. 

she proposed to me as the sun rose over our quarantine-quiet city, and I said yes. it’ll be a long covid engagement, but I’m engaged to the most singular, wonderful person I’ve ever known, and I can’t find the right words for how endlessly happy I am. 

congratulations, dedicated shippers. canon is yours at last.
