So colorful and unique in a fun sci-fi universe) but instead a world I'm invested in at the time that I'd love to insert myself in at a certain point in the plot to FIX things that go array.

So, if I had to choose right now, it would be the world of Grimm, because the first 4 1/2 seasons are fantastic, I've been marathoning it recently, but at that halfway point in season 4 it just tanked and has been almost unwatchable.

I'm still powering through to see how it ends, but I'd go right to that moment in season 4 when everything goes wrong to keep it at the sweet spot for as long as possible and fix where the characters made seriously odd and terrible choices.

Fixing things is sort of my deal, because as much as I put my characters through hell, I always have a happy ending. (less)

Quotes by Amanda Meuwissen  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“He didn't believe in love, not even in saying the words, because that was more damaging and hollower than being hated if it came from somewhere fake or turned into rubbish along the way.”
Amanda Meuwissen, Coming Up for Air

“Differences do not make us ugly, even if we have a hard time telling ourselves that.”
Amanda Meuwissen, Coming Up for Air

“I deserve his kindness, and his support. I deserve his interest in the things I love. I deserve his honesty when he tells me what he loves. I deserve his humor when we disagree without him ever turning cruel. I deserve his voice that feels like home, and his hold that feels like Heaven. I deserve how he sees me for me and would never try to change me. But most of all, I deserve a partner, you fucking douchebag, and that was never going to be you.”
Amanda Meuwissen, His Slender Embrace
