This is lovely - I love Merope fics. She's such an underexplored character.

naomi_noelle did an excellent fic on her too, if you like Merope, which you might enjoy reading. I thoroughly did. :)

Thank you so much for the feedback, and for the rec! I haven't read any other Merope fic, so I'm excited to check it out. :-)

Have you got a link to the story? I browsed naomi_noelle's LJ but could not ferret out the fic.

I just recently posted a Merope drabble of my own for the Strawberry Fields challenge in this comm. It focuses on the same period in Merope's life as the fic here. Inspired by the Beatles' song, it's called She's Leaving Home.

As a matter of fact - yes.

Start with chapter 1, obviously.

Thank you for the link! I'll look forward to reading this.

If you remember, let me know what you think?

Absolutely -- it's longer than I anticipated, so it may take me a while, but I'm very interested.
