This doesn't incredibly follow the guidelines because, well, he's not gone, just on a break. But I know that sometimes, hearing things like this can be just what a person needs, so:
Erza, I miss you, bro. Like, embarrassing-for-one-bro-to-say-to-another-bro miss you. I remember way back when we were all trying to figure out what was going on in 'The Best Alliance.' I don't know if we ever really revealed to everyone what was going on, so now, I guess, is as good a time as ever. Here goes.
In the pre-MESH days, there was no MESH. Haha, surprise surprise, that wasn't a master plan the whole time, because Erza and I weren't... well, nobody really considered us a threat, at first, I think. We were low on the Power Rankings, didn't know too many of the other competitors on a personal level... heck, we didn't even really know each other. I sat scrambling to find allies because, as it stood, I was going into the competition mostly alone, and I'm sure Proto can postulate how things might have ended up if it stayed that way.
I managed to get in with Luffy, who introduced me to a team that had already been low-key formed OOC. The "Ambrosians," as they would be called (Guu, Desco, Luffy, and Gildarts) along with Erza and, now, myself, at that moment. (It would grow a little bit following this moment.) When the time came for the game, we all discussed how we were gonna meet up, and Erza and I were close to each other.
Thus, Merza was born.
Erza, buddy, you are the BEST. I still remember clearly the days when we were freaking out over PM (because I was stubborn about Skype) wondering how they heck we'd gotten so popular several people asked us to join up with them. I still remember freaking out when things would go wrong in the big MESHbrosia megachat and the two of us were sitting in our own chat, freaking out that our original alliance to Ambrosia was almost revealed. I still remember how absolutely fucking dynamite the Merza dynamic was, whether it was by ourselves, with Samus and Harry, or with Samus and Gildarts. I have rarely ever had such instant chemistry with another writer who I barely even knew beforehand, and we became great friends through all those crazy experiences.
I still consider you a great friend, and I look forward to the (inevitable) day when Mickey and Erza meet again. Mickey considers Erza his best friend in the Omniverse, and for good reason: she's the one who has earned his trust, just like you have earned my respect as a writer. I know you got hit with some post-DA slumps but just know that whenever Erza feels like waltzing her redheaded self back into action, her Mickey Mouse will be waiting for her, ready to partner up again like old days. You always managed to get some of my best writing out of me (heck, I still consider my Erza funeral post perhaps the best post I have ever written, in my opinion) and I cannot wait for the day when I get to get back into it.
Love you, buddy!
I have so many other people I miss, but that one seemed like the one that I needed to write out. Also, I too love 'Escape from Coruscant.' For the record.
