This was lots of fun. I was very curious about Lydias' reaction so I agree that this was a part that had to be written. You made an awesome job writing their voices and I think that Stiles had to be more difficult to write because he's in a very difficult position since he doesn't want to hurt Lyida but at the same time he can't let her tell him everything she wants and blame him for her break-up. I also liked how you ended their argument, they're really gonna need friends. Great job :D Thank you! :)

Someone suggested that Lydia would be a good response to the Broken prompt, so I went with it, and it came out totally different than I expected. I just sort of let the characters run with it and did my best to keep up... the end was hard for me, because I wanted to find a good note and punchy ending, but it does sort of just... end. But I like where they are. And I think Lydia's still pretty broken here. :( Thanks!

Thank you! I can't see Lydia letting something take control of her life if she can avoid it, y'know?

Thank you! And oh yes, definitely work to be done, and all under these extraordinary circumstances. And Lydia is very observant when things concern her. :) What she didn't question is "how" which she'll work on later. When she has time to think about how it doesn't make any actual sense!
