Summary: Heather Collins' life has been a lesson in wanting.

Reccer's Notes: For Heather, I wanted "letting go" to be the closure to be her story the way the show couldn't give us (and from the female perspective - not some male intern talking to a dude while another dude listened in, because ... really.) This fic is a character study that follows Heather from the age of 7 to when she goes to Portland again after Season 1. It is a series of "letting go," aka - having is not so pleasant as wanting while Heather learns to let go of disappointments. And in the end, when you get what you actually need (and wanted), all those losses were worth the struggle.
