You have no idea how much those recs mean to me! Firstly because I put so much of myself into Bright College Years, excepting of course, the frat house and Cornell, but it was my senior year of college, just on the cusp of graduation and it was more autobiographical than I intended it to be. And Secondly, because Ear To The Ground has always been a fic I've felt fairly insecure about. I went back and read it after this rec and I'm still not comfortable with it, but it's nice to see somebody so fond of it. And even though I know nothing of hockey, I've only ever been to Sharks games, hometown pride, so Ray can suck it.
