HAHAHAHAHA. I feel like a tool for not commenting on this earlier, but I love it. It's just too cute. A sequel might be nice - Arthur's a little unexplored - but I dunno where it'd go, the whole point was them getting together after all. It doesn't even matter; you could write the most mundane domestic shit and you'd still quirk it up with these clever little things that make me laugh even when I don't exactly know why (e.g. 'He's Old Enough to Drink Scotch' as a book title, Philippa repeated twice, the crappy sun analogy, and the echoed 'Finally') and everyone would say the most charming things and I would LOVE IT. So.

Bottom line: you do no wrong. Please continue to produce for worldwide global happiness, or at least mine. Cheers!

Thank you!

Yeah, it's kind of the nature of this story that Arthur is going to be unexplored, but I like the idea that it's more about getting Eames to try something for once and maybe their relationship would actually not work at all, but that's not the point. A sequel would be interesting because I'm sure they have all sorts of issues to work out.

Ohhh this is simply marvellous!!! What a jolly, quiet little piece of writing!

If Dream A Little Bigger is an actual book, i'd read it and have it as my favourite book. And i'd scan Eames' photo on the back flap, print it out in a larger scale and build him a shrine.

I actually imagine 'Dream A Little Bigger' being kind of mediocre, but MAYBE NOT. Because I don't mean to imply that Arthur has lame taste in books, but maybe he was more interested in the back flap.

Thanks for commenting!

Tuesday it’s, “He lives alone with a cat named after Frank Lloyd Wright.”

“So Frank?” Eames asks.

“Wright,” Yusuf says.

This completely slayed me. No wonder Eames is so in love with Arthur! I am too :)

I feel like the Wright thing is half owed to Yusuf, I don't even know. But I'm glad things about Arthur came across even though he's sort of--he's central to the story, but he doesn't have as much development as he might if he were more present in the story, I guess.

I laughed out loud while reading through the last lines, because this story made me feel happy and bubbly with joy. It is very sweet and well paced. Thank you so very much)).
