This was beautiful. There isn't enough good fic from Joanne's point of view, and this was wonderfully in-character. Ten million bonus points for the inclusion of the Docs. ^_~
I especially like the fact that this fic leaves me with no absolute promises of a happily-ever-after... They're still Joanne and Maureen, and it seems like they'll still have many more spectacular fights... But there's hope, at least, that they're really willing to work it out.
