Author's Notes: I’ve written in several fandoms before, but never Gossip Girl. I’ve also been watching Gossip Girl as pure brainless entertainment for 3 years without really caring much about who’s dating whom and all that. I did like Chuck and Blair (mostly because Blair’s my favourite character) and enjoyed watching their relationship until he sold her off for his hotel. That completely turned me off their couple. Anyway, I finally noticed the Dan/Blair potential in 3x18 and have been rooting for them ever since. I’m really hoping they turn out to be endgame since more and more people (including myself) are moving from the Chuck/Blair camp to the Dan/Blair one.
Finally, this fic is basically a series of ficlets that sort of tell a story (not in chronological order) about Dan/Blair for about 9-10 months. I found it a fantastic exercise for my first dab into the world of Gossip Girl and Dan/Blair. My beta came up with the 25 random words.
