If you won't give me Hake, I'll take Heck! Lovely as usual.

Very nice. I could picture all of this happening, right down to Heather's reaction and Beck's reply. Well done!

Yeah! Another story from Nyn!

I've always considered myself a Heather/Jake shipper, but you weave this story with such credibility that I could easily see myself following Heather with Beck, too. As always, well written! Thank you!
