Wow, this is so nice... and exactly what I asked for! I have to admit, you got me with the dream at first, and I was feeling slightly disappointed that there was nothing about how thy had gotten together... and then of course it all clicked into place as the story progressed. Sweet, romantic, Mark showing his feelings and a hint of smut... perfect! Thank you so much!

Very sweet! Mark's sure one to talk, about how no one's supposed to go off on their own! I like how Princess points that out to him near the end. But, it seems that his being terrified here was enough to make him realize that time is precious and not guaranteed to last, and that he and Princess needed to move past their "understanding"... Springie's pic would make the perfect illustration! http://springie.deviantart.com/art/Christmas-Wish-185627735

You're right, LB! I hadn't thought of it, but that's the perfect image for this story!

Yay a M&P story, absolutely love it!!! Love the pic recommend to LB. It's perfect. I agree with TJ you got me at on the dream too.

Another wonderful story. Thanks for sharing!

Oh what a lovely image you've put into my mind...I just love Mark/ Princess fluff! Wonderful story! And LB, you're right...that picture does fit in with the story well!

So sweet and so romantic! I too love a Mark/Princess fluff as much as I like a Ken/Jun one! Lovely description of Mark's deep feelings towards Princess! Great thought about the ideal pic, LB!

This is a great Mark and Princess story. I love that it takes Princess on a mission by herself for Mark to realize how much he needs her. Another great piece.

Yes, I've been reading this a few times over the past couple of days... it's sweet and romantic... just what I asked for!
