What? Out of curiosity? I know there were some typos, if that's what you mean. I realized when I was posting the new story, I had posted the unedited version, instead of the version I got back from my Beta, so I fixed that.
If you mean in terms of content, I'd love to discuss my reasoning in hopes of making it clearer.
well, it's more like how you characterized them. While it's pretty good, there were moments where I personally feel they went out of character (imo). I can't do it now since I'm kind of a little busy.
Yeah, I think I know what you're talking about. But keep in mind that this story is set four years before the start of the show. I actually had a lot of issues characterizing Cornelia's reaction to what happened, but I think I can basically explain it at this. From what I've seen of her in flashbacks to when she was younger (up until even Marianne's death when she was 20) Cornelia isn't really cold or distant. This has led me to believe that she is an affectionate person, who has been forced to hide that affection for the people she's closest to for a while. The process of training oneself to do that isn't an easy one (and maybe this is where I'm bias, as I've done this as well) and I think, especially when she was younger, she would have moments where she wasn't able to control her feelings as well
( ... )
And yeah, I stopped lurking and reviewed your fics instead. cx
And that thing above, characterization wouldn't be much of a problem when it's before the series, right? We know a lot of things happened that changed the character's personality in the long run. Although there are times when I prefer one part of a character's personality among others and let it shine instead of sticking to the canon. But we all know Cornelia and Guilford are hard to characterize when they are in a romantic relationship. I've read other fics and sidefics that contain little tidbits about them, and yeah, most are indeed OOC. I even tried to write, but I have to go over it a lot of times before publishing it. And even if after doing that, it's still OOC. orz orz orz
Maybe it depends on how each of us see them in a way, really.
Yeah, that's what I actually explained. Given what we know about her from when she was younger, she was a more affectionate person. Also, Cornelia still has drastically different facets of her personality, she's so different with Euphy alone than she is with Euphy in front of anyone else, and even when we see her talk to Guilford over private communication channels, her voice and attitude change completely from what they are when she has to talk to him when other people are present
( ... )
That's what I think, too. Based on the pre-series graphics that we've seen, she doesn't look like she's the same as she was in the series. There still seems to be more softness, and she's quite 'innocent' in those pictures. Even in the series itself, during the Marianne flashback, she doesn't have the same vibes like when she's in Area 11. I also agree that she uses a different tone of voice (which I like somuch ♥) when she talks to people she is close to, like Euphie, for example

Loved the fics~ I especially liked your description of how Guilford got his Cornelia plate! I can definitely see Euphie doing something like that <3 And that mental image of half-undressed!Guilford toward the end was lovely as well~
Yeeah.... Plate... I feel like that was either Euphy or late night Britannian television, and Euphy seemed like the classier option (although Late Night Britannian Television was a very tempting option as well).
And yeah... with the images... I try...
I feel like every time I write smut for them, it always starts with her pinning him to a door and undressing him, I need to break this pattern...
I really don't know what else would on LNBT besides weird 1-800 numbers you can call to get royal family memorabilia, and I don't think I want to.
I'm considering making like a whole other story that works like Stages and Turns do, but is only smut, are you saying this would be a plan? I warn you, there will be much door-pinning and violent undressing...

It certainly isn't a bad pattern... simply a very visually pleasing one~
