Oh! Wtg you for getting braces! I've been considering it (at almost 34I) because my teeth are super cramped :/ :/ and they were just not in the budget growing up (& honestly, it would have been a disaster anyway). I think maybe being an adult is better for it anyway. My mom had a friend who did braces in her 40's. She just finally had the cash and wanted it - so why not? I have a bunch of other stuff that needs doing before I make that leap, though. :/ Augh, teeth.

Ps thank you for the whirlwind of love at the ao3 today! <3<3<3
