This story is the sequel to It's Good to Meet Bad, by the talented Atom Smash.
Several months ago, Tender Taps blew into Manehatten and auditioned for his first performance. Opening night he was terrified, until he met a tough-talking hairdresser who helped give him the confidence to step out onto the stage.
She also gave him the confidence to ask her out.
Time has passed, and now he's ready to audition for another, very different kind of show.
Written for Quills & Sofa's EU2 contest, where participants wrote sequels for another author's story. While reading the original wouldn't be necessary to enjoy this one, I highly recommend it.
Prereading provided by all the participants in the contest, including over twenty other very talented authors.
Chapters (3)
As I said in the contest, this was one of the sweetest fics I ever read. The emotions conveyed were nothing short of heart-melting, and it was oh-so tender that I wanted to cry happy tears at Tender and Babs' love.
This was absolutely adorable! It's realistic and cute and something I'll definitely re-read again and again when the world feels like too dark a place. The characterization was spot-on, too!
So...fluffy...So...adorable...
Too...much...cuteness...going...to...squee...
This is just too sweet and relatable. Romance at it's best.

You gave me the foundation to build on. I never would have even considered the ship until you did.

I can't take credit for the ship even xD. It was Snow Quill who suggested it when I said that I wanted to write a romance featuring Babs. I love the worldbuilding in yours and will probably get back to write something to fit in between their first meeting and the proposal.
I've already praised this story enough in the comments, but to add the cherry...
I actually voted this as first in the contest ;)
Again, adorable, amazing. Good stuff Apple.
it's so cute I'm trying not to cry, that shouldn't be allowed
