Lazyleaves (sorry, i don't know your name) - i figured i will finally buckle down and leave a comment 'coz if i don't do it as soon as i read, i forget (yeah, am getting there in age...sigh ;-)).
I have a list of things to thank you for, first among them being the thread(s) you had for story of the week. I think i stumbled across your last 3-4 threads - and discovered some amazing writers. Thank you!!!! I never followed the show religiously (sacrilege hain na - especially when commenting on an ArHi FF!) but the fan-fiction the show inspired blows my mind. Some of the writers are so good they should publish.
(Btw - that last comment applies to your sister as well. Read a few of her stories and unfortunately before i could read them all, she pulled them. Convey my very best to her, will ya? And i hope she starts writing again, if not for others, then at least for herself).
You write with great depth and understanding. The young Khushi-Arnav here and their interactions, but more than that, the impact of their interactions is so well written. I think all of us have experienced something in the lines of "oh, look at him/her, he/she is so much better than you at x...You did what?? Apologize - and yes, its your fault!!" You brought out the anger, irritation, humiliation and resentment really well. The only thing that surprised me about these characters was the adult Arnav's reaction to Khushi - how...5-yearls old of him! But then, i guess Khushi held the honor of being pest #1 in his life 😆.
Oh - and thank you for writing well. Crafting your story well. Taking the time to build the characters and the story as you should. The pace is just right. And thank you for grammatically correct English - its a pleasure to read a well-told story written in the way the language is supposed to be used. (That might sound shallow or arrogant - believe me, its not meant that way. While i appreciate creativity and imagination, as some one who is writing herself, i believe its our responsibility as authors to use the language of our choice correctly).
Have you written anything else? I got the impression you did, but didn't find a link. Or have you pulled your stories off too? Well, if you do have something else up, do point me that way.
All the very best and thank you for this little gem.
