I enjoyed your pieces, they give an overall view into the life of a character.

This line caught my attention the most: "love is the condition where another person's happiness becomes essential to your own..." I just think that it sums it up in a nutshell.

Me too. I wish I could remember where I read it originally, but alas, I can't. Ah well.

Thank you!

This is great! I love how everyone fit so well with Rum Raisin! I think Summer and Aaron's are two of my favorites for very different reasons. Summer's because of the definition of being siblings and Aaron's because he's Aaron and it so fits them :P I'm glad she and Danny are such good friends too :)

Nicely done!

Well, she and Danny aren't good friends, but they're still friends. It's weird. Anyway.

Thank you!

Wow, this is great. I love Ivy's point of view, because it tells so much about each other people in her life. (I'm especially curious to know about what happened between Lars and Summer, but I still have to get caught up with your posts here, so idk if it's been written yet.) You really got across how she feels about each of them.

What happened between Lars and Summer is in Fracture and Splint and an as-yet unwritten third part. It's pretty bad, but at least Lars does grovel. A lot.

Thank you!

Should have known I'd be beaten, I haven't even worked out what to do with all the Candy Apple prompts. I can still finish by July!

This was a great read too. I love how it ties so much of the cast together through Ivy.

Yes you can! *cheers you on*

Thanks! She is (nominally) my central character, and sometimes I feel like reinforcing that.
