UM.

*SPAZ*

AM READING NOW!

HAHAHA.

THIS IS ALL I HAVE DONE TODAY. Oh, nano, hahaha.

Okay, WAY TO BREAK MY HEART.

It's hard to describe but I think you did such an excellent job with these two and the fact that it wasn't some grand epic sweeping romantic battle that ended them, but rather that eventual acceptance and the fact that fate sort of stepped in and took its place in between them, etc. etc. I think that's what makes it so effing sad, too. GAH, IT WAS GORGEOUS.

(And I have to say, the second chainmail was mentioned I remembered our conversation and knew what was coming, HEE!)

[falseeeyelashes]

HAHA I DO WHAT I CAN, YO!

But thank you! And yes! That was definitely what I was gunning for - I think that tragedy, when it strikes in its more mundane and quiet forms, such as acceptance of the inevitable and the doomed, is far more gut-wrenching than some big, Romeo and Juliet style thing, hahaha. BUT I AM GLAD YOU LIKED! These two were fun, if not tricky, to write.

(HAHA I couldn't help myself!)

Memeing this because I'm only on the seconds episode but OH, I SHIP THEM SO MUCH ALREADY. That last scene with him being all "women plz" about her saving him and she was like "later, asshole" was GREAT.

[falseeeyelashes]

AND IT ONLY GETS BETTER!!!! Haha, YES. That was the moment that cemented it for me too. I was like ohhhh boy, banter!

ALSO, your Joe Dempsie friend is going to be in next week's episode! I saw the preview and I was all heyyyy Chris Miles with a sword!

[welurklate]

I heard that young Joseph and his silly face would be making an appearance in the next episode, I AM AMUSED AND EXCITED.

Yes! Best break away from financial derivatives.
You're fantastic with suspense. The fact that they kissed about half way into the story - perfect!
Hopefully, even though they have weight of their destiny conspiring against them, the writers of the show will be kinder to them then you were. =P

Oh, gosh, this was so powerful and evocative.

I love your turns of phrase, and the way you've captured the complexity of their relationship so well. The style of writing is incredible, really drawing the reader in and on.

Thanks for sharing this.
