Okay I couldn't help it... when I knew your update was waiting I just had to read it.
Screw making dinner- most of the prep work is done anyway!
First this update.. wow! Firstly it's so looong!
The detail, the thoroughness with which you plotted out this update and the overwhelming sense of warmth in it is really commendable. It's like a nice warm hug... and who couldn't use one of these in this season?😉
There is so much to adore in here...
Loved the description of the room and the beautiful sense of family you evoked... reminds me so much of walking though the rooms and touching the walls my last trip back home- there is just something about 'home' that is special and you described it beautifully. The description of Miku's past, the sisterly bond, the bonds between all the partners, very well explained.
Also, loooved Raman's drunken breakdown - immediately took me back to Rajji's story and your extension of it, the way you girls weaved them together is fabulous.
The crazy dancing, the romance of that instance and the shared impulses... beautiful. Glad to see them both giving into their feelings rather then pulling back... so looking forward to where this will land them.
And Raman's final thoughts...
So beautiful.. reminded me of the classic scene from 'Love Actually' ... this is what I love about Raman- the RKB/Raman contrast- and you have that explained perfectly.
Now onto your comments... I appreciate the love.
Ouch about school... I'm not one to lecture on not skipping considering my track record near big deadlines...😕
Can we just call this a mutual admiration society now between the three of us...because..really...
OMG really? That's the first time I've ever been called fluffy... this is what your comment reminded me of... and that makes me love you more..
Now I am really honored PM me when you can and I'll join the gang.
Will send reading list. Lots of great writers here, most are well known, there is one great find that I know you haven't read FF wise, I think it's right right up your well written, well researched, quirky alley- will send.
Judith McNaught...OMG! (FLASHBACK to a byte from a convo with one of my BFFs several years ago) She- "Hon, I just read 'Whitney My Love" ... it's horrible.. the hero is abusive.. why do women put up with this crap? Screw this... I'm just going to stick to my classic love stories'" 😆
Perfect... been a while since I read that, but I enjoyed it. It's in my e-library (
all my romances are only in my e-library- the paperbacks are only for 'respectable' books that won't get me the side eye from my family😛) ... does this mean you prefer contemporary works to historical?
BTW: Lib fees
...As someone who once paid $150.00 in overdue fees at the public library and then sat in my car and resisted the urge to cry lest my contacts fall out as I thought about all the pretty purses and shoes I could have bought with that money... I understand your pain. Good Luck! 🤗
PS: Is there such thing as GIF addiction rehab? I think I'm going to need it soon...
